1/25 Scale RC Semi Truck Upgrade 🔧 Bigger Motors For 3D Printable CTC 01 Chassis

[@MakeItRC]

Thank you all for watching, and I hope you enjoyed today's video. Like some other installments in this series, perhaps not the most exciting subject matter, but I really wanted to give a detailed look at the new motor, the 3D printed mount, and share my thoughts/experiences. I hope this video proves to be helpful to any CTC 01 builders out there. While there will always be some limitations to fully 3D printed RC chassis’ in this scale, I'm dedicated to making them as well designed as I can. Hopefully it won't be too long before I'll have a new build featuring this chassis to share with all of you.

i really need to make one lol awesome work man!

Thank you! Best of luck with your build if you decide to give it a try. 👍

yeah same here.

Looks great! Sweet looking truck!👌😎👍

The problem with these higher speed motor setups is as they run over time they build up heat it the gearbox causing a failure as they arent lubricated , under a simulated load they can fail within minutes

I wouldn't be surprised if the worm gear being made from brass instead of steel, was an issue.

Interesting, I wonder if a little grease applied to the gears would help prolong the life? The thing is, two of the motors that broke, did so immediately. Like maybe moved the truck a few inches before completely stripping out. Another set worked fine for maybe 15 to 20 minutes give or take before they started getting crunchy. I have a lot of experience with the single output shaft style of these motors, which I've used for a lot of on-road car builds. I've almost never had any issues with those, even on “race cars” (I'm being relative here lol) with dozens, if not hundreds of hours of use at this point. That said I have less experience with these dual shaft variations. This is the first chassis I've ever used that incorporates this style of motor/gear assembly, so perhaps these are not as bulletproof. Fortunately all the motors, aside from the specific ones mentioned, have had 0 issues so far. They aren't even getting hot while driving. Warm sure, but not enough to even get worried about softening that PLA. The only way they'll heat up is if I grab onto the tires and not let the axles move at all while giving them full throttle for a while (not recommended lol). But even then nothing broke or stripped out. They worked just fine after I let go of the axles. Oh well, I'll keep on testing lol. At least they're cheap. I don't need them to go a million miles, but more than a few inches would be nice. 😆

駆動部分のモーターを2個使うなんて、パワーが有りそうですね？？ww 荒れ地とかの不整地で、パワフルに走りそうですww
