Custom RC Hot Rod Build 🔧 Mounting The Motor and Making It Look Like a Big Block 💪

A new build has begun! By the end I’ll hopefully have one cool looking functional RC street rod. I’ve chosen a Monogram 1/24 scale 1939 Chevy Coupe as a base for this project. Scale realism is the goal for this car, as well as using only STL files currently available on our Patreon page. Anything else must be made by hand. The build is off to a great start, with the motor mounted, and the included 427 big block V8 modified to fit over top. Should be an awesome looking car in the end so stay tuned!

Been wanting to do a hot rod/street rod style build for a while, so I'm very excited to share this one with all of you. I hope to demonstrate how the variety of STL files we offer can be used, modified, and adapted for many projects. Of course much more to come. 👍

80’s billet. 😊 Clean, mother of pearl white, tasteful pinstripes.

FREE JUNK??? Count me in! Okay, so I'm curious how the front end will go together. Can't wait!

If you want to know how I would build it you need a little context. Around 1955 my grandfather was in highschool. The rule in the household was that the children were not allowed to own cars. There were a lot of kids, and that wasn't affordable. A highschooler was driving what I believe was his grandparent's car and wrecked it. It was a 39 chevy deluxe and my grandfather's parent's said he could buy it and fix it up. My great-grandfather didn't think he could fix it before the end of highschool. The rules were simple, he was told to not ask for help at all unless he was REALLY stuck. In an age before the internet my grandfather swapped the body off of the car and fixed it up with a hammer, chisel, hacksaw, and one singular lightbulb. I'm sure there were other tools too, wrenches and stuff, but no power tools. The shop was in the end of an old mink shed. I bet half of you don't even know what a mink is... The shed was cold and dark, remember no power and one light bulb! He drove it for the last two weeks of highschool, and had to sell it in college. He always wanted to get that car back but never found it. If I had that kit and some extra money I would get a resin body and attempt to recreate my grandfather's first car.

Looks awesome so far....keep up that great work...

[@Metalluver72]

Hi nice project I would paint it a two tone colour blue.

[@jonathan__g]

It is going to make for a fun build to watch. Can't wait to see how it turns out.

[@carexe51]

If I was the one building this hotrod I'd get them wheels gloss black with dark red body paint and drop the suspension just a little.

[@talonted1990]

Another awesome build, can't wait to see the final results.

[@juniorworkshop1918]

Dud, that's awesome 👌 👏 👍first timer on your channel

[@stephharney8964]

Freaking amazing

[@scale_model_apprentice]

What a cool model! You've got a new subscription. If I were to build this model, I think I'd go with the sedan delivery with the full hood.

[@GAMEOVER-RACING]

Very very nice, love your videos there helping me a lot ✊💯👌👍

[@davecummins6581]

Love it!

[@brewman684]

This will be great to watch. Look forward to it. Can you recommend a printer for the first timer please.

[@Coolturtledudehellyeah]

I’m more of a ford guy, but this Chevy looks amazing!

[@ONEFUNFONE]

Years ago I was tinkering with making a motor driven belt system for these scale engines in my slot projects- I could see this working for rc as well.

[@MakeItRC]

That would be cool. 👍

[@brayson3424]

Hey you should try and make a hotwheels scale RC crawler, I wanna try and make my own but don’t think I have the brains to do it without a video to look at for reference

[@paullucas4068]

Looking forward to seeing the rest of the build

[@MrCaprinut]

Love the project!

[@mr.b415]

What a cool build, can't wait for the finished model. Just a note, this car and the van where realised as low rider versions as well.

[@Robert-ni6ut]

Was wondering if you would ever do anything from the 30s . Great choice and keep up the great work 👍😁

[@ebonwestbrook5580]

I wonder if there is a different option for electric motors that might fit within a model kits engine, something smaller with similar specs- that could run the belt pulley assembly on a supercharger

[@rccustomcarz9034]

Looks like a great project can’t wait to see the finished product

[@istvanbarta]

You should make the steering servo look like a cooling radiator.

[@MakeItRC]

I'll try to do that.

[@Rob_Huskett]

Still way more detailed than many 10th scale cars out there. Love the build. One thing i have always dreamed of is a 24th scale motor with the motor mounted inside the motor with rotating pulleys and belts. I tried on an 18th scale before and it was promising but there was a tonne of fab and this was before 3d printers became mainstream.

[@MakeItRC]

Sounds cool. I do like the realism and variety offered by 1/24-1/25 scale models.

[@TheRandomizedvids]

This is looking like a very cool project. I am a patreon and a sub I must say I am a bit jealous of the amazing collection of RC cars you have.

[@khwamtay6459]

Very nice build. I've got a old metal 69 GTO model I might convert into a rc car

[@MakeItRC]

Thank you. Careful with the metal bodies as the weight tends to hinder the performance and break parts.

[@jackhammond986]

Could you pleaseeee do another video on that prerunner build!???

[@welshdave5263]

The servo is going in place of the radiator, I thought the motor wasn't going into the engine because you were going to hide the servo in there.

[@alantaylor353]

FANTASTIC.!! 👍 👍 👍 You do amazing work. I only wish I had your talent, skill, patience, imagination & resources.. I thoroughly enjoy watching your work.! Stay safe out there mate & best wishes from Scotland 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 🙏 ❤️ 📻 🕹️ 🔋 🚗 🚖 🚕 🚔 🚚 🚙 🚘 🚓 🚒 🚑 🚐 🚎 🚤 🚁 🛩️.!

[@CENREAPER-YT]

Put motor in engine and use gears if needed.

[@stephharney8964]

What kind of glue do u use?

[@richardbennett8678]

What is the lowest tier patrion level to get ALL free 3d files? Thanks

[@istvanbarta]

Maybe it was asked before, but what RPM do you recommend to the N20 motors for cars and for slower vehicles like trucks or offroad eg a scale model Jeep?

[@MakeItRC]

Anything under 2000 RPM should be pretty good for a slower speed vehicle, and will provide adequate torque for a model car based build.

[@movienow6]

Can u make a Ferrari f40 plz
