I'm trying something new again this time, trying to build an RC car that I never do it before. I know the hardest RC model to make is model car, but it turned out to be a lot harder than I expected. There were many troubles on the process like, I had to change the gear ratio combination because the first one was too heavy for the motor. The second gear combination was okay but still not efficient. The first motor (1200kv) was burned out, I had to replace it with 650kv. The second gear combination broke their teeth and then I replace the material from PVC foamboard to 2mm plywood, each gear comprise of 4 sheets bonded together. The mechanism was to noisy until I applied lubrication to the gears. And then the steering servo broke I had to replace it with a new one. It's so frustrated I kicked the car few times in madness lol, but luckly it still has it shape. Beautiful shape actually, the back side I think I nailed it, but the front side not so much, because the front tip is supposed to be lower but the front wheel are on the way. After many troubles, finally on the last day it can run and I can RC-drive it as you can see on the video and it turned out quite a good sight. I learned so much on this project that I can use that experience for other future projects like, making gears, use 2 switches to reverse brushless rotation.

Incredible, you are a highly skilled modeller.

[@jwc4520]

Outstanding... you did it and did so without adding wings. Sound was a nice touch, details such as turn signals added a lot to the build. I have built a couple of your planes, and was amazed they looked pretty good , despite my old hands and eyes, I thank you for sharing. Your build of complex curves and mechanics amazes me yet are completely logical, making me wonder why I didn't think of it. Thanks again for sharing. Your yacht made me revisit my ORCA project, it's foam and might float. Please take care.

[@ginopunsalan]

That was a refreshing way to build an rc car. Everything was scratch built. Fantastic build.

[@kotetsujin3493]

[@JuliusPerdana]

Thanks a bunch!

[@captaintwice]

Mind Blowing Pak! Once again, you have proved your genius! Really awesome result! How did you make the rear view mirrors on the bonnet? Pls don't shorten your videos, Pak. We can easily watch 40-50 min videos of yours, as each is very interesting.

[@JuliusPerdana]

Not what analytic says, but this is just an experiment how shorten video performs.

[@FlyingBuzzard]

magnificent build

[@richardkan8499]

Bravo. This car has more working lights than a typical car on the road

[@JuliusPerdana]

lol

[@mayalopes87]

Wow! Just wow. What impressed me was the lights. The turn signal works! I've never seen any car model with functional lights.

[@agree992]

there's a lot of model rc car with functional light...even with hydraulics sound....but DIY from ground up is rare...

[@jerrybailey5797]

That is a really neat project . Very well done 👏

[@JuliusPerdana]

Thank you very much!

[@holgerwittmann8419]

Wow! Nice work man!

[@boss2234]

[@SevenWelt]

Great work! 👍

[@adrianvalbuena8158]

Superb bodywork!!!

[@Triggered-RC]

Amazing job! I thought about fabricating a body from this foam, bought some, but then decided to go with ABS for durability.

[@JuliusPerdana]

Good choice!

[@miteshparmar1863]

Nice work

[@setiadinugroho567]

Julius perdana : papercraft legend 👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽

[@dbsduckd02]

Wow! You're amazing. You made a nice RC car with a foam board. It's a wonderful idea. 👍👍😎😍😍💯

[@JuliusPerdana]

Thank you so much 🤗

[@xjester60x]

That is a fantastic scratch build. The body build is splendid. I will admit I would have used ready made wheels and onboard discs on the axle for brakes instead of inside the wheel. Well done👍

[@JuliusPerdana]

Thank you very much! that's also my original plan but change it due ran out of time

[@FishCristodius]

Great job! Greatings from Poland! ✌😊👍

[@redpillanimations]

Wow wow my favorite car since I was a kid in the late 70’s and early 80’s always wanted one in black 240z

[@theimmortalhybrid6526]

i think that was a good project and i'm looking forward to seeing the rest of the Boeing 747 in the future and if thats still doesn't happen because of the pandemic i think you should maybe recreate your old tank you made a long time ago equipped with a working turret that shoots and rotates

[@eddyhuye7408]

Nah.... Sip... Sekali2 bikin mobil juga... 😜👍👍👍

[@theartfulcodger7459]

Bro... that's Amazing... anyone says otherwise is jealous!.... sure ,there are more practical materials,... but... that's what makes what I see here...._ AWESOME"!👌👌👌

[@user-pj1ks4zs4s]

Julius you are a great fellow, I really fell in love with your channel and my wife cannot pull me away from him by the ears. We in Russia seem to have everything, only very few people who are truly passionate about their hobbies - and, accordingly, there is no one to share their created something with or discuss with someone an interesting project. I will definitely sponsor your channel, now I will just get a separate card for this. I am an electronic engineer, if you have any questions, I will be happy to help your projects - what is in my power Best regards, Gregory.

[@JuliusPerdana]

thank you Gregory, comment like yours makes me want to make more video, thanks again

[@dacko4843]

Tio Julius no has tomado en cuenta de invertir los piñones o engranes ósea el pequeño en el motor y el grande en la transmisión es para probar y si tiene fuerza para que arranque desde cero Eres un genio te felicito por cada proyecto que haces son de lo mas genial saludos desde Venezuela.
