RC Sand-dragster build start to finish (time-lapse) made from old RC stuff and sheet metal.

[@cheagle464]

WOW!! Looks factory made! Like it Came that way. For the roof, thought for sure I was gonna see how you make the visor.

[@EdwardRCDrum]

Thank-you. I started making the roof at 23:54 😉

[@cheagle464]

Yup... i watched that too

Awesome job on the body build 👍👍👍, it turned out great !!!

[@EdwardRCDrum]

Thank-you.

[@LevelCyclery]

nice...really nice work...im a great fan of reuse and repurpose of stuff....especially Rc's........Van halen.....yessss...

[@EdwardRCDrum]

Thank-you! I agree, something very satisfying about creating something new from old broken/used stuff.

Very cool. Thank's for Sharing

Your welcome, It keeps me busy.

[@waynesbutler7834]

Really enjoyed the build editing and music choice , great job all around , always amazed at the copywrite rules on the Tube when it comes to popular music ..

[@EdwardRCDrum]

Thank-you !! Yeah, I used to have 'Ramble on' by led-zep in this video then one day I got a notice saying the video has been completely blocked from being viewed. I removed the song and all is well...you never know.

[@kevinsellsit5584]

Around 24:00 minutes in I'm thinking this body is good enough to get thousands of dollars of sponsorship decals with the right photography and sales pitch. Nice work. P.S. For the kids out there we called this Rock and Roll!

[@EdwardRCDrum]

That is a nice compliment, Thank-you!

Badass build. Sure made me rethink my build. Lol. 👍👍

@@EdwardRCDrum 21:46 I just wanted to say how impressed I was not only with the build and your skills but your parts! You say it’s an old Tlr 22 but I’ve never seen those front steering knuckles before! They’re sweet! Next I must point out is how did you get the Exotek front bulkhead! Incredible!! And finally sorry for rambling but where’d you get the rear shock tower? I also did a Tlr 22 2.0 build but couldn’t find that bulkhead:(

[@EdwardRCDrum]

@@austindickey1136 Thank-you! The chassis I cut was a 22T 2.0 stadium truck. I would imagine the Exotek upgrades have been discontinued, I could not find them on line. The suspension arms are from a 22-4 4x4 buggy which has also been discontinued but the caster block is TLR234026 and the spindles are TLR334007. The rear shock tower I made from the aluminum of a broken 22-4 chassis. I am glad you enjoyed the video.

[@robertregalado1015]

Nice job. Really enjoyed this vid. Seeing someone execute their vision is very inspiring. You have great perspective vision watching you fabricate the body. It was very well thought out and came out awesome! I'm going to recycle some of my left over parts and try my own project ..similar. Great vid and creativity.

[@EdwardRCDrum]

Thank-you! I really enjoy repurposing RC stuff I don't use anymore. I am thrilled that it inspired you and would love to see what you build.

[@robertregalado1015]

Will definitely get back on my build..when it happens.

I've started my build and like to get your opinion. I can't send pics on here. Let me know if interested how to contact you . Thanks Rob

Excellent!

[@MrGibbie2210]

Awesome build from scratch man. Loved the soundtrack as well, can’t beat a bit of Zepplin. What’s next?

[@EdwardRCDrum]

Thanks. Not sure....maybe a dedicated 4s plow truck made with what I have around. When the snow and temp is right it can be a lot of fun.

New subscriber here. This thing is awesome. Great tunes too. I have another channel for my shop shumaker guitar works. I repair, restore, and make guitars. I think I’m gonna dig the channel 😎

@@EdwardRCDrum 🤘

[@PDRIFT86]

Just found your channel, love this build. But i must ask what kind of metal is that chassis made from? in the beginning it took forever to saw thru that even with time lapse 😅

[@EdwardRCDrum]

Thank-you! I believe that chassis is 7075-T6 2.5mm aluminum....my old hack-saw blade may have been a bit dull as well. 😆

[@sstubbiewon6370]

No Dremel with a cutting wheel?

[@EdwardRCDrum]

Not sure what you are asking? I used a cutting wheel on a dremel for a couple things on this. Thanks for watching. :)

[@robertregalado1015]

Was that a Losi 22s you modded?

[@robertregalado1015]

I just noticed it's mid motor..must be something else you used or relocated your trans.

[@EdwardRCDrum]

It was a 22T-2.0 (2wd stadium truck). The middle section I added was from a 22-4 buggy chassis that was cracked and unusable.

[@EdwardRCDrum]

Correct, the 22T-2.0 had a mid-motor option. For a dragster a rear mounted motor may be better but this was all I had. Any rear 2wd model would work just fine. The 22T had very long A-arms creating a super wide stance so I used 22-4 (buggy) A-arms (with a little modification) to narrow the width. I am really enjoying this dragster and best of all it didn't cost me much at all. Good luck with your build!

[@robertregalado1015]

Just to sit and look at it is Rewarding in its self. I'm a machinist by trade..and what I find most rewarding is the instant gratification you get from stepping back and looking at your work.

[@christiandorris5019]

Next time you should try and pick a more annoying sound track. Betcha can't.................

[@DJ_SHANNIMAL]

nice. A question...can you put velcro underneath the body or some other way instead of the strap around the outside. That would be the ultimate.

[@EdwardRCDrum]

Perhaps I may re-think how to latch the body, good suggestion. Thanks.

[@DJ_SHANNIMAL]

@@EdwardRCDrum from an aesthetic standpoint I think that would look a lot better. You might could even use some strong neodymium magnets. Since this isn’t a jumper/basher you just need to keep it down so wouldnt take much I would think. I always love running in the sand although clean up is a PIA. Nice looking build man. Good job.

[@Lussuosoclothing]

Yessssssssssssss

Sir, a 3” cutting wheel from harbor freight will be worth gold to you.
