Making a 1/5 AWD V8 RC Car w/ MANUAL Gearbox! - Engine & Transmission Installation

[@reed1285]

Your level of craftsmanship is incredible

[@chrisseger6870]

Truth.

[@mikehughhawk]

Especially if you take into account everything is 1/5 scale meaning all his measurement are millions of an inch

[@mikehughhawk]

@@greatestevar well I have to disagree as someone who works in tool and dye we do everything in thousands of a inch as mm are to big

[@HitLuca94]

@@mikehughhawk wait until you hear about microns

[@mikehughhawk]

@@HitLuca94 we were taught in micron but in Canada all the old school millwrights and tool and dye guys use thousands of an inch. But yes tell these kids about microns as that type of tolerances have even less room for error.

I didn't know there were legitimate scale engines in the RC world like this. This immediately has me imagining a true scale Corolla Trueno with a DOHC 4 cyl if one exists, rwd, a true scale represented drift car. I've seen the RC drift cars for years but electric doesn't excite me and nitro always sounded to annoying and loud. This actually sounded like a real engine but smaller. Wasn't annoying at all. I'm subbing!

[@MiGujack3]

Not sure about DOHC but there are small 4 cylinders out there for a while now.

[@yuryv.2188]

@@MiGujack3 this v8 is already dohc

[@AaroKo]

@@yuryv.2188 no it isn't. the other cam pulley is just idler wheel on these toyan engines and there's 1 camshaft under the valvecover :)

I know this feeling so well, I have the same feeling for motorcycles too that all 2strokes make the same annoying sound and 4stroke 2cylinders sound like worlds longest wet farts but 4cyl+ 4stroke bikes sound like heaven :)

Years ago I graduated from watchmaking school, and worked for sometime in that industry. I am really impressed by your attention to detail and skill.

[@jeremywingate4950]

Never built one of these but have built plenty of off-road vehicles but I can totally respect the amount of time and craftsmanship that is involved to build these little guys. Really not any different than the full size version other than bigger. You have my respect there sir.

[@markspain2219]

So excited to see one of these motors actually put to use instead of sitting on a stand. Craftsmanship is incredible, watching the gearbox in action is mesmerizing!! :)

[@rasmus1600]

6:36, you need to secure the pneumatic fitting holding the bowden tube better. It can help with stringing and less retraction.

[@mchivers5783]

I agree with everyone else’s remarks. Very cool and interesting/ entertaining to watch. I know there were many hard thinking hours put into it that us viewers got the luxury of not having, we just got to relax and view the coolness of it. Thank you for sharing with us.

[@ScarabChris]

The RC industry is making massive leaps and bounds. In the last 5-8 years alone the new products are amazing. And those Toyan engines are getting better by the day. I remember being pressed by their early one and two cylinder engines. Now they have a V8. The industry has really given the advanced RC DIY guys a lot of cool options.

[@J4TiDotCom]

There was a model v8 20 years ago not sure what happened to it.

[@clubgm]

[@denisdenis2034]

What could be more beautiful than someone who is so skilful with his hands and who has the intelligence to make them make such pieces that one looks at like a painting by Picasso. Congratulations. Your cooling system does not appear to be pressurized if it is... the coolant will boil at 212 degrees. If you are able to find a small standard radiator cap, all you have to do is add an overflow tank to that. In cooling -phase the vacuum in the system will keep the motor always full without air bubbles.

[@maplerounds8426]

Personally I woulda use a bearing for the driveshaft support! But all in all your level of detail and dedication is fantastic!

Hi from jim in Australia. You're a mad man and a genius and I absolutely love it. The fact that you made your own 3-speed gearbox with reverse is mind-blowing and I cannot wait to see more of this project.

Do they even make turbos for these little motors? I've seen them with blowers before though. Has to be hard to tune them just right too. Unfortunately, as awesome as these engines are, lack the power that a regular single cylinder nitro engine has by quite a bit. That said it does not take anything away from the impressiveness of this build. I wish I had even a fifth of the skill and creativity he has to make these builds.

It will just explode. Tiny parts, way high rotational speeds and pressure. There is a reason all successful RC cars have simple designs. This thing is already way to complex and engineered wrong and will never work, or work well, or handle well, or be reliable.

[@janus4002]

​@@riverpirate1022 When it comes to scale the amount of power is way more than the full sized version. Like the . 21 ci nitro engines that can have around 5 HP. Now scale that power up and you get almost impossible numbers. Like a 1/10 scale car going over 100mph. Now scale it up.
