Showing Off Homemade RCs... And How To Make Them Cheap!!

[@danweiss1371]

You’re the first KZbinr I come across that has the same interest as me. I enjoy the hobby. But I am not interested in buying RTR’s and then turn it into my truck. Much rather just build my truck.

[@sixe69]

Me too.❤

[@DanBrando]

Ok

[@kloudkreeper]

Exactly.

[@StubbsRC]

Most of mine are built.

[@jonturnbull97]

This is what rc as a hobby is all about

[@scalecrawlnl]

Awesome custom rc crawlers. Especially the welded frames are very impressive. Thoroughly appreciate your point of 'making your own', be it from from hardware store derived raw materials or 'mail order' or anywhere else for that matter, sourced rc parts. You for sure need vision, creativity, patience, endurance and plenty of skills to actually you know, 'make it happen'. Thank you very much Sir, a cool video overview of the Waffles RC garage, your school of thinking and of course, making! Your custom crawler, metal frame fabrication really is most impressive. Looking forward to more. Subscribed and liked, cheers 👍😊

[@WafflesRC-pb4nt]

Thank you very much. More will be coming for sure!!

[@toeshifter]

Nice Job! Good to see you having fun in the hobby and showing an alternate method for people to get involved. Rigs do not have to be overly expensive. Thanks for sharing.

[@WafflesRC-pb4nt]

Thank you very much!! More will be coming for sure!

[@dustin6828]

Some people don’t have the time to build anything, this the RTR boom. We are all servants to the system anymore with nothing being normal. I appreciate seeing your time spent on something great. Stay positive my friend!

[@dirtnap3073]

Just now watching your earlier videos. Glad you have a diy channel. Thats aĺl the fun in it and you appreciate what you got. Keep up the good work. Love the dually.

[@meirdeaph]

I enjoy any electronics that I can afford to get but some definitely seem harder to get to bind. Totally Awesome video

[@MannyGunzz]

Dude those are freaking badass, just over all custom builds... new sub foresure, that tow vehicle is my fave..

[@WafflesRC-pb4nt]

Thank you very much!!

[@Mach-N-Roll]

Awesome builds, definitely like to see a scratch built frame and what they weigh when complete compared to a comparable RTR rig. I picked up a frame this week to do a stretched SCX24 tow rig build. Have a CEN450 for a 1/10 tow rig but wanna build my own trailer.

[@matthewdavies551]

just like to say your rigs and your vids are amazing absolutely love it keep up the great work

[@rcboughtandrebuild9269]

I sub... This is what hobbies is all about. Not just buy them by rtr,... but create something you call it your own. I loved it... Keep it up waiting for your next project.

[@WafflesRC-pb4nt]

Thank you very much!! I'm working on the video now for the first build for the channel

[@MarkHickman-o9q]

This is a great video ❤

[@staysmallrc]

Thank you for showing us your builds. I have recently gotten into the hobby and rely heavily on this. Thanks for sharing. Very inspiring

[@WafflesRC-pb4nt]

Thank you very much!! That is my goal is to get more people into the hobby in a more affordable way.

[@deejaygarthwaite7948]

Dude definitely a motivational show of what can be done great job 👌🏻

[@johnoneal1999]

I've done that with 1/24th & 1/18th scale crawlers. Haven't done a 1/10th scale yet, but getting parts ready for it...

[@IowaBudgetRCBashers]

I just became your 500th subscriber. Great stuff. These builds are awesome.. great channel

[@WafflesRC-pb4nt]

Thank you very much!! I really appreciate it more than you know. Another incredible milestone!!!

[@theodoredibblee1581]

Not sure if you made any videos of you building a car but I personally would find it very interesting I've watched 2 of your videos and must say that you are an amazing contributor to the RC world especially for those of us who just want to have fun keep up the good work hope to see more videos from you

[@johnsavage7842]

I personally would love to see more videos , I usually buy rtr I don't have much extra time to build , I work 6 days a week , some times 7 , but your videos give Lots of great ideas , maybe one day I can build one myself but until maybe I can watch you build them , please keep up the great videos and thank you for sharing your love of the hobby , I think crawling ( when I have the time ) is so relaxing , makes you think of other stuff besides work , please keep the videos rolling and again thank you for sharing

[@csh40]

Looking forward to a construction video!

[@RCplamodel]

Wow awesome video, and cool rc car 👍👍💯

[@BigDMF]

I have a 2 wd monster truck i built myself. Its bad ass! All aluminum and i took all the motor and esc unit out of my drag car and put in it. Just got the body the other day and just need a shorty battery for it. All metal gears, axles, transmission, frame, suspension arms, torsion bars, wheels, lol the works. It runs around 75mph. Just did a gear change recently

[@WafflesRC-pb4nt]

That sounds really cool!! One day i will build one that can go that fast.

[@BigDMF]

@WafflesRC-pb4nt that would be kool. My next build is gonna be a 73 to 79 Chevy build with a metal frame in a rock crawler version. I also scratch built a car trailer so I could put the fast one on that and pull it with my rock crawler when I get it built. I wanna do this one in 4wd this time. Build my own version. If I only knew how to just post pics here I'd show off what I have now, but Idk how to post pics yet lol, and thank you for the compliment. I have a few thousand dollars invested in it lol. Parts aren't too cheap and for the ones that were, it didn't take long to add up lol

[@thomaspayne4507]

Good looking rigs. I like building mine as well building a mud truck now

[@JOHND_RC]

Cool stuff !! 👍🏼

[@christophercastilaw3157]

I’ve been wanting to start doing this forever! Killer builds! You should totally do a build series on one.

[@andrewrichey7374]

Love the car hauler super cool, yeah I’m here watching Sunday 12:21 PM

[@Fonzierc]

Yes sir great video and definitely worth doing your own thing the end result is awesome I love doing all that also

[@vinnieland6140]

Great content! Can you build a pulling sled? Surprised you haven't yet.

[@WafflesRC-pb4nt]

That actually sounds like a good challenge. That is definitely going on my list for sure!!

[@WafflesRC-pb4nt]

Thank you very much!! I will definitely be doing a video on how I build and fabricate a frame for sure.

[@TyJoe_N_MattyMoe]

This is sweet. I dig piecemeal rigs. I'm currently building my first 1/10 trail truck. I'm on disability, so I'm piecing it together with unused takeoffs, cheap parts, and free offerings from others. I've got VS4-10 chassis rails, AR45 straight axles, VXT tires and SSD wheels. I figure I have a long Wisconsin winter ahead to find the rest of the parts i need and get it built.

[@WafflesRC-pb4nt]

That is awesome!! Sounds like you have a good start

[@TyJoe_N_MattyMoe]

@@WafflesRC-pb4nt with so many people going to flat rail chassis it's easy to find stock ones. And nobody uses the VXT tires from the kits either. I think they'll be great for hauling my overland trailer on the gravel bike trails here in southwestern Wisconsin.

[@Cad1900]

New sub I love this video! I definitely want to scratch build one of these guys. I’m running RTR for now and loving the sport.

[@MrGuitarguyadam]

Love this! I think my next RC is going to be from scratch, bypass buying the car and upgrading everything.

[@RandallRCTherapy]

Awesome builds! I love this hobby.

[@WafflesRC-pb4nt]

Thank you very much!!

[@davedoddRc]

Loving the builds.

[@hydroponic6561]

Id love to see a build, badass trucks!

[@MattWise-lr3gi]

I'd be interested interested in seeing if you can build a rock bouncer 😊

[@WafflesRC-pb4nt]

That does sound like a good challenge... I will have to think on that one for sure!

[@MattWise-lr3gi]

@@WafflesRC-pb4nt , I do know I will be binge watching your channel so I can try to build a crawler..

[@fezzolare]

i love your content i run a laser table and a water jet i make most of my parts just made a tandem axle trailer .i cant afford new rigs any more so i have been even making full frames. This economy sucks so glad to see a guy thats likes to make custom parts

[@alantaylor353]

Awesome.!! 👍 👍 👍 👍

[@NBRC]

awesome builds man, great explanation, just subbed ya

[@paul707.7]

Ive been into rc for 20 years. I put up a video of my wpl c24. I have 10 rc total. My first was a rc 10. Gold pan .

[@KevinSmith-pp2ll]

I watched the piece together vids! Awsome content!!! Do a complex one!!!!

[@djsavada718]

Subscribed for that nice stuff. The Tow Truck looks so damn nice with the details! love the work. Would be great to see build you an entire car.

[@WafflesRC-pb4nt]

Thank you very much!! I do have plans in the works to do a ground up build as soon as I can.

[@exiebound9145]

I’m new to the hobby and only have a couple RTR’s but I want to try a build from scratch soon. Need to do a bit more research and get to it

[@WafflesRC-pb4nt]

Honestly that is why I started my channel is because i couldn't find a lot out there. There are great people out there but not a lot the way I do it. I'm currently editing a build video so i hope that will help you and others to see how to build one from scratch.

[@Ayrton_Groesbeck]

Epic vid! Really liked watching it. subbed

[@WafflesRC-pb4nt]

Thank you very much!!

[@Lokithefeline]

Awesome rigs, wish I had the talent to do that.

[@thatdirtylife8685]

Not sure if this has been said already, also not sure if you have it already, but if you run a sensored motor and a little lower gearing on your mud truck it will crawl a lot better

[@Thebuffingwizard]

I would love to see a scratch build! I’m doing that in 1/18 now. Next up for me is 1/10

[@anthonymoniz3865]

A step by step trailer builds would be cool I am trying to do that then a drift build if your into that thing

[@WafflesRC-pb4nt]

I'm not big into drifting but I do have plans in the works to do a trailer.

[@jdorseyjr64]

Very interested.

[@carlosjuarez7449]

I just finished building a 1/12 fjcruiser.

[@mitsuman5555]

If you haven't done a video on how you make the frames, you definitely should.

I just filmed one today. Working on editing to get it out as soon as possible

[@peterGriffin-ug7jv]

New sub here. Bro your trucks are bad ass

[@WafflesRC-pb4nt]

Thank you very much!!

[@rebelredRC]

That's incredible man but one question, what's your process for the welding what metal and what equipment do you use

[@WafflesRC-pb4nt]

I use a 110 gas mig welder, a cut off wheel and a flap disk. And sometimes a tape measure. I just put out a build video that shows all about how I build them.

[@cat-cambodia1801]

hi, love rc😄

[@josephdrummond4376]

What are the sizes and names of the axles from amazon? these homemade frames are cool.

[@WafflesRC-pb4nt]

I honestly don't know the names of any of the axle sets. I usually just look for the type of axles that i want for a particular build and look for the best deal that is metal.

[@charliebrown6883]

Nice,fun

[@maxyoung2333]

We need a separate video on the mud truck. With more information like what body what axles what tires and so on

[@Tdurbin]

Where did you get axles and tires for the trailer? That’s badass

[@WafflesRC-pb4nt]

I got them off Amazon. They are for the 1/14 scale big rig trucks and trailers.

[@scaleworksRC]

I like what you're laying down, but for the sake of saving one of your RCs should a battery begin to let go.. I'd avoid using zip ties for hold downs. Unless you're really quick with a knife or some snips. Maybe rubber bands? You got some cool rigs there, man!

[@WafflesRC-pb4nt]

Thank you very much!! And that is a good point on the batteries. I will get that changed out soon.

[@mrkemblegilstrap]

Liked and subscribed 👍

[@fullsendEm8076]

How did you make that sick Tacoma?

[@heathergreylive]

My crawler weighs about 13 pounds. 😂 it's basically the opposite of a comp rig but she can still climb with the best of them.

[@WafflesRC-pb4nt]

Heck ya!! That's awesome!!

The rc world is sleepin on you👀

[@StubbsRC]

RTR stands for "ready to replace" anyways

[@willienel1902]

I just subscribed your channel. Hope to learn. I live in South Africa. The big issue we have is an exchange rate that kills the bank, hence I always go for cheap.[19 to 1] Secondly the time it takes to get here is not even worth mentioning (Up to 2 Months) if you are lucky. From China I ordered metal Axles, not sure what I am going to get, but expected delivery Feb 24....I hope you could show me the best place to buy from.

[@jdorseyjr64]

What kind of welder do you use will a cheap harbor freight do the job?

[@Lokithefeline]

You purchased the wrong brushless system man, spectrum is by far the worst. CTle has system very close to the price of that spectrum that's alot better 😊

[@44punisherable]

Aside from the chassis's you're building..the only thing breaking is the cheap stuff? Basically, all you're doing is promoting cheap goods from Amazon. I could do the same but I don't want my stuff to break as soon as I get it. Also loctite for metel to metal screws is a necessity for any mechanical part that move and are subject to high stress. In the end, you're going to spend more on cheap parts than expensive parts eventually

[@TrokaRC]

Wow found someone like minded, I'm all about the real feel and drive. Comp rigs are cool but not for me.
