1/5 Scale Jet Truck Build - Update and Bench Test

Just a quick update on the 1/5 scale jet truck build. Got the power system installed; more work before she's ready for a shake-down run.

Crazy I can't imagine the price these rcs are expensive as they are stock cant imagine all the extra stuff added probably costly...very nice builds...

[@rustyscrewsrc]

Thanks! I also build planes and boats and a lot of what I use has been repurposed from prior builds, etc.

That did not stay stock long lol this will be interesting stock this like to stay on the back wheels

[@rustyscrewsrc]

No, it did not 🤣. Right now I'm making support braces for the EDFs and hopefully, they will lift the back end up while pushing the front end down. Another test video coming when I finish the supports (going to see if she stays planted or flies 🤣).

Sweet rig man. I’m sub,ed

[@rustyscrewsrc]

Thanks!

[@WildBoyRC]

What do those big fans do?

[@rustyscrewsrc]

They provide approximately 38lbs of thrust at full power and the placement of them also provides force to keep the front end down in high speed runs. Thanks for watching!

[@WildBoyRC]

@@rustyscrewsrc no problem, so do the provide more thrust and power that is faster then the motor and the speed of the vehicle ?

[@rustyscrewsrc]

@WildBoyRC They add to the overall power of the vehicle and actually complements/supports the motor-driven part of the power system. Hard to say if they provide more directional power than the motor, doubtful in these off-road conditions.
