Overpowering A Barbie RC Car - Dad's Guide

With the NEW Barbie Movie Coming out soon. You gotta do this for your kids :)
I took this Toy Barbie RC Car and made it way better! All the stuff I used is below. It's not perfect, but so much better than stock, and much easier to control! Upgrading Kids Toy Cars is really good fun, you can do this to most Toy RC Cars, you just need to work out the best way to do it.

Excellent marketing haha... Do you happen to have spent much time on the insides of the 28scale WL Toys? I just got the truck and its running mega hot and sticky... sanded the diffs and greased its a little better but the opinion of someone like yourself would be in invaluable! Thanks in advance

Giving a child a RC car makes you a hero, but making it really work brings you in the hall of fame. Awesome project and video Tomley👍

[@peterkiss1204]

Such an unexpected experience watching a Barbie car drifting around. She's an asphalt queen now! I hope your daughter likes it too.

[@TomleyRC]

Haha… cheers dude

[@Ayrton_Groesbeck]

I love taking strange toy-grade cars and making them proportional! I've had competitions with my friends on who could make one faster.

[@TomleyRC]

Yes, it’s good fun!

[@carlbudd341]

Me too lol.

[@carlbudd341]

Should see what done with the bezgar transformer rc car lol.

[@Del350K4]

Ah, Tomley RC returns to its toy-grade roots : ) I love this video; it's very satisfying to see you undo the results of the penny-pinching that went on at the design studio and really get Hooligan Barbie's hair flying in the breeze!

[@Pablo668]

This was brilliant. I’ve often thought of doing something like that with my nieces Barbie rc car.

[@TomleyRC]

Thanks dude

[@markcloudchaser874]

@@TomleyRC that's awesome lol, I can see you playing with it more, hahaha Good Job 💯👊

[@sicklad3277]

Got my nephews little boat he got for Christmas and put a brushless system in it, he loves it, i can tell you the proportional throttle part doesn't matter at all for him, its flat out or nothing anyway 🤣

[@shaunescarlett.1]

😂 Brilliant Phil, Well done with this upgrade, not only for providing Barbie with a 10 second car but also for your daughter to have a Big smile on her face for now having the fastest Barbie car around ! P.s. Did anyone come out of the units around you to see you test driving Barbies remapped convertible ? 😃 You Sir are a Legend 🙏🏼 Stay Safe Phil 🤜🏻🤛🏻

[@TomleyRC]

Cheers Shaun… a 10 second car hahaha 🤣

[@garykee1]

now that's a dedicated daddy to his little girl! great video and i hope it brings great joy to your little one. cheers.

[@phw340]

Great job on improving the RC! Thanks for taking the time to do this! It’s gratifying being able to take a toy RC and giving it a dose of hobby grade. I like to do that too as some of the toy RC have decent bodies although often they are not 1/10 scale. I find Barbie has the best bodies closest to 1/10 so I’ve made a habit to collect Barbie cars and use the shells for Future RC projects. The bonus is you can put an action figure for a little more scale look. Haven’t done this in a while but the nicest one was a white Ferrari 308 that I put on a custom onroad chassis I made from soldering square brass tubes together and made it so the wheelbase could change via sliding the brass tubes. That was before I had hobby grade RC. Now you can stretch the chassis.

[@TomleyRC]

Yes, Barbie has some decent vehicles… my drift Jeep was one of my favourites

[@MCsCreations]

Fantastic work, Tomley! Really well done!!! 😃 It's running great now! Stay safe there with your family! 🖖😊

[@theoagrc]

Quality Dad work their bud! Love it!! 👍🏻🙌🏻

[@paulmcnamara2908]

Oh the memories my daughter had a huge Barbie Mini Cooper S from toys R us. Had the same conversation but it ended up a full 4x4 drift Mini! Was a proper beast!

[@kellypg]

I love these fun little project videos

[@victorcurtis6400]

Two things. 1. A few weeks ago I knew nothing about RC cars. After watching a bunch of your videos I’ve learned A LOT! 2. I’ve watched a TON of RC car videos and yours are the only ones I find myself laughing out loud throughout! Keep up the good work!

[@late4dinner76]

When I was like 5 or 6 I got a red rc corvette (toy grade) still to this day my favorite Christmas gift

[@breakingmichigan]

The body is actually really cool looking, it deserves to be fast

[@mikestokes3601]

Give your daughter a challenge she can work at for years to come, put in that brushless motor, and offer her a challenge of skill with the controller. Mastering complexity at a young age will help her in the decades to come.

[@VernonDraws]

Id love to see more like this. I useto do this to my RC cars back when i was a teenager and watching this is really nice

[@TomleyRC]

Glad you enjoyed it 👍

[@VernonDraws]

@@TomleyRC Have you ever heard of an rc company called SILVERLIT? ive owned 3 cars from them so far and the ones i have are basically toys but on another level. like for example the Subaru WRX looked like a plastic model toy car but had proportional steering and throttle, working headlights, break lights, indicators and reverse lights and a detailed engine bay. If you can find them in the UK then you should absolutely have look at them and possibly modify them 👍

[@SharkysGarageRCandMore]

Really love projects like this, i am sure your daughter will love it ! Hopefully will inspire many others to do similar projects !

[@TomleyRC]

Yes, would be good to see some more toys being converted

[@steveg6060]

Now there are 2 plastic super car blondie's in the world! Great video love the channel! Ken should be driving

[@TomleyRC]

Hahahaha

[@radunit4805]

It's a barbie car, In a barbie world~ Doing donuts, Drifting is nuts

[@TomleyRC]

Haha

[@lupierz]

Best Video I've watched on your channel in a while! Looking forward to more of these!

[@garyrobinson7128]

Yes I did something like this last year ;) Glad to see all rc dads think alike!

[@4cubedracing]

I didn't think things could get better but then the tiny hand had a sound effect! Love it. Oh, and good job with the Barbie upgrade. I guess that was the real point of the video 🤪

[@rosslee5427]

Awesome project, love it! Might have to build one of these for our girls, they would love being able to sit thier Barbies in the car and drive them around.

[@JoachimAxelsen]

Cool dad project! The resistor on the motor is probably there for back EMF dissipation (so no current goes back from the motor to the ESC when its free-spinning). Probably much higher resistance than the internal resistance of the motor, why it doesn't do much difference to remove it✌

[@danielslow659]

OUT of the ordinary. It was a great pleasure to watch this one. Well done ✅✅✅

[@jasonjohnson6085]

Awesome video, I dig the build videos. You are definitely going to be the cool dad when she get that back. Awesome job

[@millard681]

I did not realize it was possible to make RC sleepers this is so sick

[@T14PRIME]

im doing this for my 18 month olds power wheel !! thanks TOMLEY !! BUY ME A COFFEE!!

[@TomleyRC]

Haha… have fun!

[@stormycannon8904]

Nice work bro 😎 good to keep the little ones happy 😃

[@TachyonDriver]

Yes! Yes, you were indeed duty bound, as the father of a girl to do mad stuff like this!

[@brianargo1659]

Duty Bound!! I'm loving it👍

[@derricksazrc3411]

You Rock Bro what a fun project. Flawless Victory

[@TomleyRC]

Cheers dude 👌

[@griptopia]

I DID this in 2016 was fun, was the older version corvette ... brilliant stuff dude

[@TomleyRC]

Nice 👍

[@mohammadmursalin6817]

I think I finally understand why Barbie sang "I'm a Barbie girl, in the Barbie world Life in PLASTIC, it's fantastic." (Who knew she meant plastic RC cars).

[@TomleyRC]

Haha very true

[@JasonGN2045]

Nice. I did the same thing with my daughter's slightly larger toy jeep and a Traxxas Slash LCG chassis.

[@CheapCheerful]

Toy Grade RC, especially good 80s/90s brands (Taiyo, Tyco, Dickie, Metro) are THE BEST! Well done Tomley.

[@TomleyRC]

Cheers dude

[@Lee.gRC27]

Awesome job Phil 👏

[@OmniMan_Racing]

That's a good dad lol

[@TomleyRC]

Haha

[@saimanmiah2717]

Great build! Loved this, really fun and scratched a itch of mine to make a RC toy proportional (as most of these come with great RC bodies).

[@markknight4687]

Come on barbie let’s go party !!!!!

[@TomleyRC]

🥳🥳

[@chadedwards5908]

This video is so great and awesome very entertaining had some laughs 3s too much like you said . I'm glad you hook the lights up too cuz she wouldn't let you get over that LOL have a good day!

Cheers Chad…it was a fun one to make!

That's pretty neat. Cool thing to do for your daughter. 🔥

[@michaelramsey82]

Very nice work! I did this to loads of cheap toy-grade R/C cars before I could afford good hobby-grade cars.

OK, so this has to be a new sub-channel for you! Kit bashing kids RC toys! So cool.

Fun stuff, Phil. If I ever get a granddaughter, that'll be my first, and then second gift!

[@TomleyRC]

Yes… it’s good fun to make things better 😎

[@RcFool]

This is my favorite video from you! 🤣

[@TomleyRC]

Cheers dude, glad you enjoyed it 👌

[@stevewest7260]

Reminds of when I use to race 30 some years ago. We found a bunch of Barbi"s in a box of an old barn. Brought them to the track set them out on the railing and we became the Naked Barbi racing team.

[@riothero313]

From trailer queen to drift queen.

[@draglinemazda]

I did this with a 1/5th scale hotrod from toys r us. A 3d printer is very handy to make brackets for holding the servo and making a motor plate.

[@svajeren]

Dad of the Year🥰

[@TomleyRC]

😎🤟

[@Hamzamakesfunvideos]

WOW I LOVE THE UPGRADE

[@TomleyRC]

Cheers dude

[@kreiyt28]

That was fun! I learned a lot on how to upgrade an RC toy car and it's relatively easy!

[@caturlifelive]

awesome, ty youtube for recomending this video

[@niltonganhao2051]

Ken is going to steal it from barbie now. Too cool😂

[@gregwestfall9748]

I watched your Barbie jeep video a few weeks ago then took the Barbie Vette that only had forward and backwards, no steering. I used an old HPI nitro and converted it to electric. Still holds the two Barbies and has some very good speed.

[@fiercetatsu6782]

I’ve done this exact conversion to a old 2001 1/5th jeep that my friend had laying around luckily it already has suspension and the body is an exact replica

[@albertsolbo2297]

That was such a cool and entertaining video Tomley....I saved this to my file so that I can go back and watch this again cuz I want to do this same thing for my Granddaughters Mickey Mouse car...She loves my rc cars and plays with my slower ones as well as hers but hers has only forward motion with no steering ..it turns only when you press reverse ..so it'll be a bit more challenging I believe but I hope this video will help me with some ideas...thanks for making it....

[@philjohn1513]

I have converted a few toys to decent spec. A cheat on the batteries are vape batts, or 10440 batts which are basically 3.7 AAs just alter the connections in stock box then.

[@TomleyRC]

Yes, I’ve seen that little hack before 👌

[@Dirtbiker4life]

That’s so funny, my little for sister has the same one except it’s like a pink chrome she got from toys r us for $80 years ago. Added a 1/10 brushed system to it and tied in a servo to the steering wheel so it moves. Just sucks driving with the hard tires/no suspension unless it’s perfectly smooth.

[@5DRex]
