Building a 1/10 Scale V8 RC TRUCK! Chassis, Engine & Drivetrain!

_Awesome work on this one bro! From my experience, the original o-rings for the sleeves are junk, go with viton o-rings, they're more resistant to chemicals and temperature changes._

What an awesome hobby. Expensive no doubt. I would love to be able to do this. So rewarding.

Man how you're able to end up with a final product like that in the end is krazy impressive. The level of craftsmanship and engineering is next level in my book and it's so clean it's a piece of art. 💯

2:26 PROtip: so you don't get gouges at the end of a spot weld (like the one at the time stamp), either cut your metal with a little bit of excess in that area ( a small elephant's foot) or add a third piece of metal right at the end. In either method, you just grind the excess off or file it away with a small needle file.

I was surprised at the penetration of that small welder on such thin materials, it was spot on! Was that a pun? Anyway, I could watch this for hours. Thanks for sharing your skills with us. I’m off to see what your first video was.

[@microbuilder]

This is going to be so flippin cool when its done!

[@andrewcrowder5445]

Had the same issue with mine! Found the line under the intake manifold was leaking and allowing coolant in the oil but not oil in the coolant. I suspect the same for you… i fixed it by getting some copper tubbing from the local parts store and cutting it to length, sticking the copper tubing inside the flexible hose and made it a TIGHT fit. Never had any issues out of it again. Truck is looking amazing man! Do you have plans on trying to add their transmission to it when they come out with it?

[@ETKSauron]

the talent you have is amazing. Thank you for yet another amazing build video!

[@erics320]

I looked at another video of a guy playing with a small v12. The ignition coils gave up pretty fast. When he replaced them the engine ran a lot better then with the stock equipment.

Now that you have a spot welder you should take that V Twin engine and make an RC Trike. 👍👍

[@kmatch1]

As for regular car engines, pressure up the cooling system and see where it leaks... But here I suggest adding air to the system and using a squirt bottle with soapy water. If it's o rings, I find swapping between metric/sae sometimes has a slight variation in thickness so one sometimes solves a problem the other can't seal.

[@dimmasvaerd]

I love the look of the upside-down headers. I now want to do something similar on a rat rod truck, maybe make it rear engine...

I would never have thought of using a spot welder to make scale (what looks like) Tig welds.

[@Blacklamass]

Hi I have just bought one of these, have you sorted the water getting into the oil? I believe you can get the high temp green O rings for the liners now, I have not looked to see what mine came with but in the instructions it suggests that you use the high temp green rings so I don’t understand why they don’t come with them 🤔 anyway I will look in the box and see what I have. Keep up the good work and keep us up to date on the water leak 👍🏻 Steve

[@N301RCSTREETOUTLAWS]

The new kits come with the green rings now

[@johnnyq90]

Hi Steve. It's the o-rings that let water get into the oil as the water circuit is clean. I got some viton rings that hopefully will last much more.

After you get your head gasket issue worked out, what would be awesome to see is you CNC'ing your own high lift, long duration cam for this thing so it'll have a crazy little lumpy idle and more power 😅🙏🏼🤣

Hey Johnny could you give us some information on the welder you are using ty

[@WhiteNative307]

YES I’ve been waiting for this. Also, it sounds like it was missing on one or two cylinders, especially by how it was shaking. That’s probably caused by a blown head gasket considering the milky oil

[@Herman-xq1wr]

What is the name of the tool you use for welding?

[@nathancerda38]

It’s a jewelers welder to weld rings and stuff

Is it possible to make tiny custom headers and exhaust for an engine like this with that spot welder? Or would even that destroy the pipes?

[@Tabasc0000]

great video! watching from Canada !

[@joewho8168]

Looks great man. Can i just ask on most vehicles that would have the full size of this engine. The motor is usually in the middle of the frame rails going up and down middle not front to back. Do you know what I mean though they try to get most of the engine weight underneath the top of the frame rails like when you po the hood on your muscle car your not looking at the belts because the motor is lower that's all even on trucks more of the motor is above the rails on trucks but still not on top of the rails

[@aynun1647]

I am far too dumb to do any of this, yet my blind confidence is telling me I could absolutely do this.

[@mased-v2j]

Great video as always

[@JohnDoe-fk6id]

small critique: adding the pickup tube to the radiator outlet guarantees an air bubble in the radiator, which will prevent complete filling of the radiator, and will reduce your total thermal conductivity, slightly. I would suggest getting rid of the pickup tube, and making sure you get the bubbles out.

[@StroDshiesty1]

does the fan have to run the whole time? or could you use a online thermal switch to control the fan

[@cinemal200Studios]

It's amazing, a few small adjustments so it can work well

[@armedrepublic]

Thanks for the release, I was getting worried about you

[@BillBiggen]

Good job possible intake gasket or head gasket

[@fisho1288]

Wow looks great

[@johnholmes6897]

What kind of spot welder are you using?

[@steveg6060]

Better head gasket and get some ties on those coolant hoses. Your pressure will build when at temp. Treat it like the real deal. Leak down test as well.

[@Scrambles2112]

So with that spot welder and for this application, that's strong enough? Im not familiar enough with welding so I couldn't tell, we're you adding "filler" at all? That machine just seems cools tho, you don't need to lay a continuous bead or whatever to get a strong chassis for this small stuff

[@novachannel1981]

so cool man i love all your work👍

[@TrokaRC]

Very cool.

[@Gwjeeper]

How are you dealing with the driveline & steering angles? Looks like the front knuckles have heavy negative caster.. and if my d-shafts were that angled, they wouldn't last 5 min... and that just on a 2S battery... Great Trades craft!

[@N301RCSTREETOUTLAWS]

Ok, great project, I was just talking about somebody doing this! As for the oil issue, that's a pretty catastrophic leak for that short about of run time, I don't think it's a gasket or seal. 90% sure it's the coolant tube or fitting seal running under the intake manifold. Gotta have a clip on there, and make sure the fitting is sealed well. I thought I remember watching your build and not seeing you put a clip on. If you ran it at all without a vented overflow, it probably shot coolant right out. I spent a lot of time fixing coolant leaks at various spots in mine.

[@ThePontiacgto65]

Cison motors are premium quality like your work! 🎉

[@rotomon]

Did you ever do anything with the 2 rotor rotary engine you made? If not I'd love to have it.

[@toecutter8002]

If I had one of these engines I take it it's sent inside a crate and its already assembled. If that's the case I would completely dismantle the entire engine to see if there's anything I can fabricate or replace that would make the engine run better and more efficient. I would most definitely change out o-rings and I would replace every gasket.

[@teebone5072]

Any chance that whoever assemble that engine got the heads on the wrong side? Would explain the exhaust manifolds being upside and possible coolant in the oil ? I dont know just an idea.

[@JokerInk-CustomBuilds]

I am curious as to what kind of dotwelder you are using??

[@meatballer.]

When you complete this fully, on the last video showcasing it, can you show the whole process in one video? Like from building the engine, to this video, to the next video, and then the finished product?
