The Vik - A Tim Allen - (part ccxliii)

[@TSargeant]

Hey Tim! Love all your shows you have made. I think it’s awesome you have a car in most of your shows or movies. You have some real jems in that garage, I’d love to see your own car collection, I can only imagine. Take care and keep on producing the great shows. And take care of those rides!!!

[@dalejohns2758]

Blows me away all the Computer, Electoral crap that's stuffed into every nook and cranny. What could go wrong? Hahahaha I'll stick with my Built 428 SCJ in my 1969 Mach 1.

[@eapoe7395]

Somehow I think that Bodie is out of his element with this project.

[@michaelmurphy7953]

That's a lot nicer way of saying what I was going to say...

[@w.s.soapcompany94]

That was what he stated in the first episode.

[@chuckdortenzio5352]

Out? Way out!

[@themusicgraveyard600]

I see there are some morons in this thread that can't do any better, because you're not working for Tim, Bodie is, for his expertise.

[@ImTheDaveman]

Yup I agree with Tim. Deud! It needs to have PARK! Get on it bruh! Why didn't anybody think of that? I would have assumed these guys knew that without being asked. But when we assume...., you know.., The thing. C'mon man!

[@Labergemusic]

Every time I think to myself "it might be fun to start offering my work as a service" I just go to this channel and watch another part. lol.

[@WayneB27]

Change the label on the Ebrake button to Park , job done .

[@johnhill2075]

Can't help thinking that somewhere hidden in that workshop is a wall full of dents the shape of Bodie's knuckles and forehead... 🙈 Been following for a long long time, first time I've literally shouted WTF at the tv 🤣

[@TheCanadianBubba]

Driveline brake, a ring with detents somewhere on the drive shaft that a servo actuates the lock pin... super easy👍

[@jayphilipwilliams]

Tim isn't quite getting electric. Not stepping on the accelerator pedal IS neutral. The car doesn't want to go anywhere. He's viewing it as though it's an automatic.

[@BearsFanGoomba]

I loved the look on Tim’s face when he heard Bodie’s explanation of how to put the car in park 😂😂😂😂

[@russh6414]

I like to see the design process spinning in action real time!

[@kevinthomas8025]

I agree, there should be a "disconnect" for when it's "parked" that turns off the motor and applies the parking brake

[@jtw2055]

Definitely needs " park " to lock the transmission to where if the gas pedal is accidentally stepped on it won't move and an interlock that cuts power to the motor until the key is on and the shifter is in drive or reverse .

[@1991pony]

OK, here's what you do. Get a button that's marked "P/N" ( park/neutral). Tim pulls into his parking spot, hits the p/n button which also sets the electronic parking brake. It's an electric motor, it isn't sitting there idling at 700 rpm. If the car is stopped, the motor isn't running.

[@Buckwired]

Oh my gosh 🤦🏻‍♂️. If you want a "Park" gear, get the TorqueTrends 2:1 reduction,(which is already on the revolt motor) but exchange for the one they with a park pin controls by a solenoid. When you select park, it drops the pin in place and keeps the gear reducer from rotating, and back that up with the electric parking brake Bodie is talking about. THATS basically how your automatic transmission "park" gear works in your beloved ICE cars.

[@LAsmogfree]

didn't the early GM Corvair's have a vertical trans shift lever on the dash near to steering wheel? simple with the two speed powerglide, just saying!

[@danwat1234]

I am shocked nobody said the word "pawl" as in parking pawl, once! If the differential doesn't support it, fine. Would be nice to have 2 ebrakes then, for both axles and neutral tells inverters to not allow any power to motor. Or could reach down underneath the rear and pull the emergency stop hah. Video was great I KNEW Park was going to come up then it became hilarious

[@Ghostface-1393]

Watching the home improvement snake episode right now lmao

[@lutomson3496]

great videos im on team Tim with the ability to be in neutral and transmission locked like a park

[@Santafefrank]

Thanks, Tim & Bodie 😊

[@marctompkins3001]

Yeah, I’m with you about not having a park! Heaven forbid you pull into a 7-11 on a grade and you don’t have a park.

[@butchp1384]

If you put it into Neutral, and the E-brake automatically engages, like Brody said, that is the same as Park. Not understanding what Tim isn't comprehending on that? The E-brake would obviously disengage when you put the vehicle back into Drive or Reverse.

[@Greatday68]

If I was Mr. Allen, I would fire this incompetent guy. How long has this build been going now. Well it shouldn't take that long. Hell I could do it quicker and better and I'm physically disabled

[@Mooneyes747]

I am 100% with Tim need to be in park with brakes on.

[@derekjohnson3790]

Tim Allen welcoming the electric motor? Man I could've sworn he drank gasoline for breakfast pissed oil and shit sludge. Yeah the world is a different place we're living in another dimension for sure.

[@MrJkbrown75]

Tim could also spend five minutes learning how ev vehicle drivetrains work.

[@sheerwillsurvival2064]

I just want that bronco

[@TheCanadianBubba]

Great to see it getting better too 👍has been there a long time as well.

[@69A12SuperBee]

Put that ‘63 Plymouth Sport Fury gauge cluster in there and he’ll be happy 😊 I know I would.

[@johnsadler6534]

Tim call ReVolt. They can answer that question. Or ask Tesla how they park their car.

[@SpatialDragon]

Okay, I am not hating Bodie. Not a big fan, but warming up. Have the Park engaging the electric brake. Or Tim you carry a parking chock and throw it down every time you stop and get out.

[@joshrepik]

Tim - automatic semis don’t have park. You put it in neutral, set the brakes, and you’re good. You start it in neutral and then go to drive or reverse. It’s pretty common these days

[@jamesford2942]

What it needs is a park sprag like an automatic transmission has that when engaged also cuts power to the motor so no chance of accidental motor engagement. You need a neutral position so the car can be moved when it breaks.

[@bobbyp9786]

You are right Tim. When placed in neutral, then hi power contactor should drop out and allow the wheels to freewheel. Only if the e- brake is engaged (park) should it lock the vehicle in place. It should also have an emergency brake hydraulic or cable type as a 2nd safety.

[@Hoaxer51]

My Mercedes has a button on the end of the column shifter that puts it into park.

[@waynemagaw504]

I woulda bailed on the thing about the time Covid hit......

[@ODGColornChrome]

The electric shifter was from a 1937 hudson terraplane, it was called the electric arm.

[@kurtludwig6962]

I like idea of Cord gear shift ❤

[@buickgnx007]

To put it in park, 6-8 more months 😂

[@Krishell]

Hook up a ebooster from bosch. Cheap from ebay etc. It's a electric power brake booster. With "handbrake" / park built inn. Works perfect for this. (And use the electric handbrake when you leave the car. Just like tesla etc.

[@edbrown2061]

Nope! While Teslas may have a “park” button on the touch screen, it does the same thing as an electronic parking brake. While I get Tim’s concern about it rolling while unattended, the E-Brake will do the same thing. Put the switch to neutral which Bodie already said was going to be -drive/neutral/reverse, and then put in the E-Brake and it’s the same thing as a park button. Unless there is some mechanical linkage or electronic solenoid in the transmission, you can’t have a “park”. Again, designing something like this on a computer before hand would have saved time and money on this build but I don’t think this type of original build has been done before. Every other build I’ve seen is someone taking the guts of a Tesla and mashing them into another vehicle. This is pretty much an original EV system being built to fit a street rod. It’s double the work.

[@MarkInArizona]

Given they will need a column drop, why not make the drop into an A/C outlet between the column and dash in an oval form? [The A/C then blows up through the steering wheel into Tim's face.] Then integrate switches on each side of it in a 1934 design style. That way the notch in the dash looks like it is a feature instead of something "not fixed" when the column is dropped. I'd just cnc the part out of aluminum and chrome it. But it could be welded together from steel and painted.

[@the_ran_dumb_car_guy]

It would be four, park, reverse neutral and drive

[@leefoulds2569]

Tim, i love your work, and desire for automobiles, but you are making a boo-boo with this one. Put a coyote, or an LS motor in it, to make it thunderous!!!!

[@rbruceBruce]

Why not put a button for park but it sets the electric e brake. It's a mental thing for Tim. Lol

[@tylercoulson7906]

I hope this is a joke. I hate E cars but I get how thay work

[@decencywarrior9598]

Just pull out all the controller s from an Ez-go golf cart and re install into the Vik - now what's so hard about that?

[@bradwiebelhaus7065]

Tim's correct.

[@joshrepik]

Yessss

[@ericmueller1987]

Anyone else smell toast? Nice.

[@77nizzova53]

Its Electric!!! It doesn't have "park"!!!!!

[@michaelbrausch8874]

If Brodie did as much work as he does flapping his gums this project would be history! What we all would like to see is your beautiful smile once In awhile!

[@richardpeterson8640]

First to view. Thanks Tim!!

[@eapoe7395]

Somehow I seem to think that Bodie is out of his element with this project.

[@alkennedy1124]

Tim any of you ,,,want to help build my race track in the desert 🏜 California, near Mojave east 30 miles, just out side the north EAFB, ???😢thanks BigAl California

[@fredhuston7865]

What a waste of a nice body. Electric cars suck. Tim has no idea how this car works, embarrassing.

[@MichaelVanDyke-c1g]

Wrong car choice for this, sorry just the truth, putting ten pounds of extriment in a one pound bag , and Brodie is not having any satisfaction trying to finish a mistake. Don't mean to be critical but just too many small spaces, won't be fun to drive. I think a 50s truck or car would have been a smarter choice with Tims decerning ergonomics n handling n ride needs met. But easy to be critical after the fact. Both men very successful n acoplished in their fields. Best of luck , stay friends. We all learn from mistakes.
