Johnny, you should mill out some 1 piece rotors for that blower and open up the ports so it actually flows air.

[@technicbuilder6410]

And if he gave them some twist they would probably be smoother.

There's a reason nobody does forced induction on RC engines. It doesn't work.

[@WhiskeyGulf71]

It stalls sideways because the wheels have stopped turning ! It’s lost its forward momentum, at low rpm you have practically no torque available from the motor, it’s not a diesel engine & you have a huge flat spot in the power.

[@andruwmartinez4129]

I'm sure this has a one way bearing preventing that issue

[@chevyman5618]

[@rsquared9703]

It’s a traditional manual transmission. When the clutch is engaged you can’t just stop. I know he put that Revo transmission in but that doesn’t change the direct drive nature of the setup.

[@danw1955]

No, the carbs are losing their prime because there's no tank pressure. The diaphragm pumps on the carbs depend on intake pulses to function, and at high rpm the pulses are too close together to provide sufficient volume. That's why you have run a line from the muffler to pressurize the tank. This is done on a lot of RC planes as well for the same reason.

[@jimsimone2651]

For curiosity sake since I'm not a mechanic or engineer or mechanically incline... would a check valve "back flow preventor" work similar to plumbing applications?

[@radweld]

You need to ensure the fuel tank remains pressurised by feeding exhaust pressure into it. this way, fuel is always forced into the engine.

It would actually reduce the engine RPM; plus he's already burning out clutches on the flywheel he has, so this might not be a good idea. The comments above about pressurizing the fuel tank with the exhaust is probably an easier solution and won't require any additional modification. Seems to me like the system is losing fuel flow to the dual carb setup in a tilted position which is very indicative of low fuel pressure.

[@Kettletrigger]

@@someonesomewhere_777 A heavier flywheel will not reduce engine RPM. It WILL slow engine response due to more inertia, which is why a lightened flywheel is a common performance modification. The downside to a light flywheel is a tendency for the engine to lose RPM quickly...sometimes so quickly that it dies. Which is what might be happening here. Slowing engine response will not hurt the clutch. If anything, it will increase clutch life due to more gradual changes in RPM. Johnny has a lathe and a mill - adding weight to the flywheel shouldn't be a big deal (if that in fact is the problem).

If you think it’s fuel sloshing make baffles in the tank to reduce the liquid movement. And also the low rpm if you throw the drift tire with a plastic sleeve you can draw your conclusion of fuel loss and or rpm being to low

Review how gas RC PLANES do it. They go inverted and still have power.

I've been waiting for this video for so long and I'm glad it's finally here. But also I can see it needs some refinements in the power band, especially in the low rpm, knowing your potential it would be amazing to see you make turbos like you did for the twin cylinder 4-stroke, but have two different sized turbos and connect them in a compound setup so that way you can get the most torque down low and horsepower up high.

[@johnkilo3]

At first I was worried JohnnyQ90 wasn't devulging that he is sponsored by Toyan or Sterling Kit, and that he actually gets all these engines for free. You're supposed to let people know if you're sponsored. To be honest, though, I think these videos have made me want these small engines less and less the more of them I see. Imagine spending $1700 on this "supercharged" V8, plus everything else needed to get it to run (and even more if in an RC chassis), and the thing just breaks almost immediately because of terrible manufacturing and tolerances. I'll stick with enjoying watching someone else spend tons of money on getting them to work right.

[@OhHeyItsBilly]

I don't mind he's sponsored or not. I love the creative process in his videos. I think he does a great job. I love watching all of the unique machining parts and 3D printed parts. Those engines seem on the surface really awesome but I can tell they break catastrophically really easy, the tolerances in the machining process are probably not good at all even though it "looks" good. Being sold extra attachments like superchargers that actually hinder and hurt the motor instead of actually giving more power. You would have to have a bunch of expendable income and enjoy this as a hobby because these motors seem like they're really low quality and horribly made and unreliable.

Excellent stuff! I think you might benefit from a baffle or two (or foam) in your fuel tank.

[@letsdosomething6691]

I agree with a lot of these comments about the stalling issue. I’m leaning towards the idea that was mentioned about the clutch being still engaged while the car comes to a complete stop. That would definitely stall my car at least. That also probably played a roll in the clutch breaking. If it’s a fuel issue though, my suggestion is try a bigger fuel line, and a carb bowl if they don’t already have one. The bigger line will keep it from hydro locking, and the bowl will help with whatever air still gets through. As for the super charger I’m on team solid rotors lol. Those have to be one, solid, smooth piece to get rid of the slap. They have way too much wiggle being three pieces each. In other news; line lock? Totally unnecessary and would probably destroy the transmission but man would it be cool if it worked. Just sitting there roasting the tires and then turning it off and peeling away. As always, love the video. Keep up the awesome work, and I can’t wait for the next one.

[@Tinman6354ty]

I can only imagine how long it took you from concept, to making this video of it driving. R&D is an unimaginably arduous task of success & failure, until you get to the point of consistant successive runs of pure V8 stomping runs of smiling, until your face hurts. Some people think making these "toys" is a waste of an adult's time, energy & resources. What low brain wattage floofs don't understand is, this is the very type of activity which gives some of us a reason to wake up on the weekend mornings. Never stop researching, developing, assembling, testing, & succeeding!

[@emerilnut]

Sweet! So glad you're at the testing phase. I've been watching the build process and am REALLY IMPRESSED! I don't know if anyone has mentioned it yet or I may grant forgotten if you already thought about this, but have you implemented some runaway protection? You know, how to make the car stop if it loses contact with the radio while under full throttle. Always an issue with nitro RC cars.

[@justmechanicthings]

Wonderful progress Johnny sounds like a nascar

[@antoniskotis5208]

Then start from control is very important and awesome

[@jaybomb5022]

Pulling air bubbles into the fuel line. Add a splitter with 2 inlets inside the tank. Or a piece of fuel filter foam to stop the sloshing.

[@shkiper4224]

Sounds awesome !

[@samghost13]

It sounds awesome!

[@MartyGramRC]

@JohnnyQ90 - just a thought: set up the throttle and clutch actuations on the same servo (or multiple servos from the same channel) - as you give it more throttle, the clutch starts to engage, and as you let off, the clutch disengages. This would take an incredible amount of fine tuning, but I’d imagine would work extremely well, but still provide that realistic functionality you’re looking for.

[@Shadow0fd3ath24]

thing sounds SOOO good man! Id go to a positive pressure fuel system like nitro cars run normally where it gets some exhaust air to pressurize it

[@Darcho13]

It has a terrible understeer, the car doesn't want to turn. And if you apply too much power, it immediately oversteers. I suggest you check your differential (if exists) . This issue causes extra load to your engine and clutch while turning. The car came from a long way, and I love how you build it with great effort and create quality content. Keep on, friend across the pond!

[@danw1955]

The comment about the tank needing to be pressurized is correct. They flow a lot of fuel at WOT, and the diaphragm pumps in the carbs can't keep up with it unless you have some tank pressure. You might look into sintered bronze for your clutch basket. The hotter it gets, the better it works. You may need a bit stronger return spring though.. Other than that, pretty good run for the 'first' time out!!😄👍👍

[@MDBenson]

I'd add a baffled fuel cell to the list too, maybe put some foam in there and or make something custom with a baffled swirl pot built into it, the sort of thing you see on drag cars. The sudden direction changes and inertia were visibly causing the fuel to climb up the side of the tank which as the fuel goes down are probably starving the feed line.

[@fra5724]

Using the exhaust to pressurize the fuel tank is good. Putting partitions with small holes into the fuel tank might help with stalling when sideways. that way the fuel doesn't slosh around as much.

For the clutch how about making a flat flywheel and using mountain bike hydraulic disc brake pads as clutch pads using that pivot you already got to push 3 or 4 pads against a flywheel.

[@christopherlenahan3906]

My guess is rotor shaft flex and the tolerances of the supercharger synchro gears: -That tri-lobe rotor looks to be a 3D ratio, with 3 segments I doubt it has the rigidity to stay straight under boost. -The synchro gears would need to have insanely tight tolerances and sub tenth backlash to maintain the lobe seal with such small gears/rotors. Even operating with a wet seal design. -If you do decide to make your own rotors, may I suggest a helical tri-lobe.
