The great thing about RC cars is that you never get tired of driving them. Because they are always broken and you are waiting for new parts.

genius as this guy is ....I appreciate the fact he shows us where some of his ideas weren't that great....proves he's human

Hearing an electric rc shift gears like that was awesome! This car is going to be very fun to drive.

That's a lot of power for that little car. It's going to rip! (apart)

Johnny's Loctite 603 is like ChrisFix's medium strength Threadlocker

this thing is gonna be hella speedy, good aero will probably be a must.

I surprised you haven't made a mini ugga-dugga gun for the wheel lugs

that tapping jig is awesome. one of your best projects. simple but so clean and elegant.

Love watching your build series, the try it approach and finding things don't work and then making a work around fix.... Its great fun.

for a first ever rc electric car that you make, that is always a great success

That brushless combo is a bit overkill im curious to see how those plastic gears survive

That gear shift made me smile

Hobbywing makes some of the best performance ESC's and motors I have ever experimented with

It makes me happy to watch things iwill never be able to afford

I love this channel because you dont talk for 30 minutes and then go eat noodles then do 5 minutes of work. You get straight into it.

You really inspire! I've startet to redo an old HPI savage X 4.6, and I've eyed out the exact esc/motor combo you've got there. I thing fun things are coming for us both!

We could rebuild him. We have the technology.

I used to have one of these..you can change the springs on the shifting arms.. stiffer spring= later shift.. then you could have second hit at around 40% throttle and 3rd hit at 70-80%. That will give you better usable gear ratio and better throttle feel instead of it basically going straight to 3rd and pulling high gear the whole time. Also will keep your motor cooler. Can't wait to see final results! Sweet build!

Thumbs up for the electric build! Been patiently waiting for the uploads, keep'em coming!

Nice one! I really love that you leave your mistakes in the final video so others can learn from them!

I loved my Menace GTR. Shame it was so fast I couldn’t control it and kept on smashing it up. Looking forward to part 2!

Always a Treat to watch you work. Thanks for sharing Mr. Q

That thing is going to accelerate like a BEAST.

Always interesting to watch, keen to watch the next part

Great idea! I've always wondered why 2/3 speeds are not available for normal electric cars and posted it on several groups. The only answer I got is that you can switch out electric motors for faster ones but using a 2/3 speed on your existing motor saves investing in more expensive motors/esc etc. Also I like the switching sound it makes :-)

Each build as impressive as the last Johnny. I think you’ll appreciate the electric platform.. extreme power on tap. It’s also very simple... even though I can tell simplicity isn’t your thing! Thanks for all the hard work in editing to share with us. Always looking forward to your next project

electrism is the king vs petrol engines. I really like that you get into an electric build(way more classy) and i am looking forward to see what your magic hands will show us !!

I love that you put your mistakes in as well man. I've learned so much just from your mistakes it's not even funny. Thanks for your knowledgeable videos brother!

Max 8 combos are my go to esc and motor. Pretty brave of you to install it on a belt system.

Killer build and you are a wiz on the machining and custom work. Wow! Great job 👍👍👍

Wow,that was the LOUDEST "SNAP" I've heard in quite awhile!!! (or MAYBE it was because my throttle was up pretty loud too!?!?) But LOVED watching this build and can't WAIT for the NEXT video to see You test-drive this honey!!! Great job JohnnyQ90!!!

Love all the engineering that you do , I've been building and racing RC car all my life , you need to properly setup your radio and ESC , your settings are off that is why you have full throttle at 20% once this is adjusted correctly the car will be easier to drive.

Weird seeing electric but those brushless motors have the power nice build looking forward to the next phase.

I was SO happy to see that you quietly switched to XT60 and got rid of these bad deans connectors 😊

Wonderful ! Simply wonderful. Thanks for sharing, mate.

I think I've found my favorite RC Channel 👍🏾👍🏾

Awesome bit of engineering there mate.

Thank you for not ruining this video with annoying repetitive music :)

Can't wait to see the end product. No comentating but so captivating! Keep up the great work.

Damn it’s a good day when Johnny uploads a video.

I had the old nitro version of the back 15 or 20 years ago. It was so fast and you need a good stretch of smooth road to open her up and get to 80-90mph. This is gonna be a fast ride!

Amazing! You can race with that!

1st guy in my life i see drill and tap a servo horn. Attention to detail is nuts.

Cool Project! I`m curious of the results! looking forward to the first tests!

Wow this is a great idea of ​​what model it is.

Very excited as I am with any video you make, to see the next part :)

if you would come in front of me, i would give you a huge salute. you have increased my childhood excitement. love your artwork. love you too dear

A tip for setting the height on your mill: Take a piece of paper and put it between the gap of the plate and the mill. When the paper gets scratched you are 0,1mm away from the surface. This saves your cutting edge. Nice work, keep it up =)

congratulations for the project, execution and use of professional equipment 🚀👍

I would highly recommend either upgrading your radio or if that one can do it, adjust the exponential setting so you have more trigger travel in between gears.

mam that issue with first gear not disengaging is something we all wouldve over looked, i think everyone has done something similar. the classic, wow that seems like a simple fix then the wow i see what it was the way it was before. glad to see you owning up to it bc its easy to hide in a yt video, but we are all human and are lying if we say we havnt done that. great video though, i cant wait for part 2, i love your builds

Wow!!! A true Engineer!!!

I`m really curious as to how that nylon will hold up under load, the gear engagement seems kinda brutal, but I have no reference point for something like this hehe.. Looking forward to see how it goes :)

9:22 bro,what a strong sticker

Brake discs looks cool on cars and even cooler on RC cars

This channel...I’ve been subbed for years, and I just love watching the process.

This thing is going to need 3" wide soft foam tyres running on carpet to get traction. Its going to be deadly.

Always happy to see a new JohnnyQ90 video!

Awesome! I used to have this car. Many years a go though. It was nitro and super fast. Very hard to handle lol

That should be a monster can't wait to see what the end result is

Good choice of motor/ESC. I honestly wouldn't be surprised if this thing hits 100mph

very interesting to see. I am eagerly awaiting the second part.

I have the same radio, great range and very reliable!

I don't know much about the RC hobby but you do nice clean work. Thanks for the interesting video!

it would be awesome to hear you speak about what it is your doing. you do amazing work!!!!

Very very nice! I wish they still made those

Can’t wait for part 2!

I wish I had the knowledge and tools you do lol awesome

Okay that mistake with the ratchet was kind of fun

the moment i saw your lathe, i subbed. great content

This is going to be awesome

Awesome job on that !

That little car may break the sound barrier. : )

英語読めないけど 見てて楽しいし ラジコンとかとにかくものづくりが好きだ

Is it keeping the gearbox in an electric car a must though? Apart from the coolness and all?

Real skills here diy servo horn wow Great job

I love the fact that we have seen Johnny's last nitro build and are now experiencing his new electric build

That's a very nice car, I have a few myself I haven't ran in some time. Some nitro some brushless. Sooner or later I'll upload some videos of the aluminum parts I'm making for the cars. Awesome video.

Finally project starts👍

Amazing as always. I do appreciate all the automated machines and glad you have manuals as well. However, I wonder what you use for CAD CAM software.

Wow this is awesome keep up the good work

That is going to be a fast car awesome build

That is an amazing set up you have really skilful

I spent the whole video being mesmerized by the tools you have. I’ve never been this jealous.

I'd love to see a vid of the design phase too!

Can't wait to see what the top speed is!

Very nice project!

Love your work shop, you have a lot of amazing machines no wonder you do amazing work

Best Rc build iv seen

Can't wait for next vid. Nice work btw

Very nice, you may want to increase the shift point rpm so it doesn't shift too early. There may be too much load on the spur gears and in effect shredding them if it shifts at too low of an rpm... 😉👍 Nice, that thing is going to fly!

I’m impressed that you figured out why 2nd gear stripped

Cool vid johnny !!!!!! Your skills are A+

Hi Just Some Quick Advice, You can use a Gear either before or after the first gear wich Engages in the reverse direction but since all the gears will turn you should expect higher gear wear so you should probably look into other materials. Awesome Videos,Love the channel.

Can’t wait till the next vid👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽

Really cool build. I need to find a really cheap brushless motor setup for an ebike build. May need to make a transmission like this.

Great video, As a long time and now retired racer I would highly recommend you add support to the 2 post you have the tie rods connected to, if you watch your video you will see a lot of movement in the shaft and arm the servo drives and this can give you some very shaky steering. Waiting on part 2.

That is going to be SO fast

Holy shit this was fun to watch. Cannot wait for part two, will definitely be looking out for it! Will definitely need metal gears and to adjust the gearing ratio in my opinion

JQ: Those standard tyres will last precisely 10 seconds. They’ll probably turn into pizza cutters and blow at high speed. Definitely recommend foam tyres, even if you need to get small ones and glue them onto large wheels. These might do the trick but Kyosho / Ofna 1/8 scale wheels tend to be quite large: www.ebay.com/itm/RC-4Pcs-Light-Foam-Tires-Nylon-Wheel-17mm-Hex-Set-For-HSP-1-8-Scale-Racing-Car/372401741806?hash=item56b4df9fee:g:wMUAAOSwFLBaWCy5 You’ll need to turn them down and the hexes will probably be the wrong size too, but foam has FAR less rotational inertia and a high speed blowout causes a LOT of damage! You might also consider GRP or Sweep brand belted slicks. They tend not to balloon. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/nK9lopppqNetqas.html FYI, Schumacher did make an electric GTR, called the GTRe, but it only had a brushed 540 motor. www.rcscrapyard.net/schumacher-menace-gtre.htm In case you get bitten by the RC speed bug you might enjoy these videos: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/ibKUaJabup6Vkac.html kzfaq.info/get/bejne/b5x_dd11rpe-eYE.html kzfaq.info/get/bejne/eaebgLV60rWnn6c.html kzfaq.info/get/bejne/e858iNZyr8jRhZ8.html
