It's like... you're not building a RC car, but a real car in small dimensions. Thank you for sharing your magnificent works! 🥰

make the clutch servo arm shorter. for more precise clutch release and less load on the servo

Just amazing to see Johnny building the car

Cork & leather were both used as clutch material in older cars, too! My Hudson uses a cork clutch (admittedly it's in a bath of ATF, which might be way it survives) and lots of brass-era vehicles used leather-wrapped cones much like you made.

I'm pretty sure cork clutches are actually a composite of cork and resin or cork and friction oil. Wet clutch stops the material being brittle or overheating and wearing too much.

Another amazing installment from you. I really enjoy watching your builds, no nonsense sales pitch to buy stuff, sign up today! Thank you for the update.

Following the account for years now, I just LOVE how you're building the dream RC for all of us. Congratulations! Can't wait to hear this thing downshift and rev up!

13:09 sounded a heck of a lot like a real full size V8 hitting the limiter trying to launch with wheel spin haha! Amazing.

I love the way this project slowly unfolds. It just keeps getting better!

As an automotive student, This has becone one of my favorite channels that I subscribed to. Although its small scale Vehicles,the engines are quite realistic. I really really like your Videos and I can relate to what I learn in College to what I see in your Videos! Please continue doing content like this. I truly appreciate and enjoy watching them.

You're so talented in every way, very impressive.

If you had a good transmitter, you could program a mix with the clutch channel and throttle channel. When throttle is at neutral and below, have the clutch servo disengage. The more throttle you give, the more the clutch engages. Would be a bit of a pain for initial setup but it should work.

the way how you film yourself doing these wonderful craftmanship jobs is simply amazing. You are the example I want to follow in my KZfaq adventure!

Always a treat to watch a upload from the mad machinist at work !! Thx Johnny 👍👍😎

Thanks Johnny for doing what you do, this channel is amazing, and your comments seem to be filled with helpful enthusiastic engineers and bewildered laymans like me !

The thing is, that Johnny‘s videos always take so much time to make that I take my extra time to watch it in full length because I love them so much

Thanks for sharing your craft & love for rc cars . I enjoy watching you design, build & work on your dream.

Always an educational experience. Thank you for sharing your passion for Miniature engines and R/C cars with us.

Watching any of your videos just makes me smile and simply amazed by all the innovations. Just imagine how many people you have inspired with your videos. Only thing is we all wish for more and their are over way to quick! Thanks for sharing your expert craftsmanship and knowledge!

This is truly the stuff of my dreams. Love it, tyvm for keeping us updated along the journey!!!

Crazy the difference in complexity with gas vs electric. Your build skills are impressive!

I always look forward to new videos. Wish I had half the knowledge and skill you do. Epic as always.

It is nice to have knowledge and all those tools looks great. Keep it up and good luck out there

you might want to mix the clutch channel into the throttle. when on full brakes, clutch is fully disengaged. as brake is released, the clutch can move in and you could add some expo if needed to smooth it out.

Always good to see what your up to Johnny. Thanks so much for sharing

Absolutly stunning what you have done. I'm really excited to see your next video...

Incredible work. Wow

This has got to be one of the coolest things ive ever seen. I never thought id see a manual RC car, a V8RC car, running coolant, radiator with thermostat, remote start, disk breaks, a real clutch, and just too much to name. This thing is off the charts bud. Freakin awesome. Well done

Je te remercierai jamais assez pour ce que tu nous fait partager ! Tu est incroyable, respect !

Awesome build. Twin exhaust system for the win!

Amazing work!

Looking good. Can't wait to see it out on the test road for a proper run

Machinist are amazing. Love the trade. I don’t know why I love to surface grind so much. Tool and die is a dying breed.

Wow,you have done a really good job

The rc clutch kicks are going to be epic.

Now you need a button (on the controller) that locks the front brakes (only), so you can do some sweet & smokey burnouts!

Nice! Seems like you're getting all the engineering kinks worked out. Keep going! I think it would be cool to see the v12 in a monster truck platform.

The fact you Made the gas tank from an old fuel can is BRILLIANT

Love this build

Cnc machining is always so satisfying

Amazing work, love the little skid marks

Man that's some good work, not easy to fabricate😊😊

Holy moly, I love where this project is going!

I just want to be in the shop watching the work happen! I love it!

So satisfying to watch. Chapeau Johnny!

Your project is amazingly cool.

Wow! I'm just so excited to see this thing working. And not to speak of the hard take off:s with some wheelspinn. 😁

Can't wait to see this mini-monster doing a fat burnout. :D

sweet build! thanks for posting

Love it. Will be following suit with a similar clutch setup in mine also. Keep up the good work 👍.

This has been so much fun to watch come together. Watch your shin been there done that.

Excellent video! 👍

Been waiting YEARS to see this very drive test. Bravo.

State of the art of engineering. Almost as complicated as our own car minus the fuel injection. Bravo !

Johnny some steel wool inside the exhaust box should cut down the oil but as it’s still a nitro model engine you’ll never be able to get rid of it completely as most nitro mix runs 18-20% caster or synthetic oils. Keep up the good work loving the builds

Great work bro, waiting for the fully finished RC

I love watching these videos. I’ve watched since the very beginning

exceptional. The reference on YT, hands down.

You have built a front mid-engine, V8, rear transaxle, RWD, high-end sports car. I love it!

It looked like you were getting a little smoke when you were spinning the tires. That thing is really awesome!

This deserves millions of views

Always enjoy your builds

Sounds like a nascar, beautifull, you better get a nascar shell 😉 Love this project man

Awesome as usual! A few points i see as weak. -The suspension spring perches are not well supported, they will bend. -The thermostat is located in an area of low coolant circulation, once the engine will be at operating temp, the fluid will stop to flow in the expansion tank, then it will cool down under your set point and the fans will stop, overheating the engine. - The transmission is nice, but will fail fast as it is not lubricated and cooled. -Your clutch is also exposed to intrusion of oil from the engine leaks, it will slip and burn. What you should do is a racing seat with 3 pedals, steering and shifter all linked to your remote/car. So you could actually drive it like a real car. That would be very nice. As always, i am very impressed by your designs and dedication. A work of art. Can't wait for new developments.

Master Craftsman. Beautiful work.

Bro that thing is freakin awesome, I think that you are a master craftsman. Keep up the awesome work and videos!!!

amazing work as always johnny!!!

That exhaust is pure class🎉

Great work for now! We are excited to see more!

Can't wait for new plumbing and gearbox, a full-send take off next !😊 adapt and innovate😊

The little beast is looking and sounding quite mighty!

I wish you good luck for the further construction ! I'm sure you'll make it ! Greetings and best regards !

Never fail to amaze me 😆 love the build

Awesome job brother! I really love this build 👍👍👍👍

You amaze me man. Every thing I’m interested in you give us thx man

Awesome job mate well done.

LANCIA D50 Formula One body on that chassis, it even sounds like one! Super R&D!

This car sounds very nice at the back. The exhaust back box adds some bass to it

It's coming along real nice.

You should polish the inside of the clutch bell, that rough steel will eat through that cork, and a polished surface should provide enough friction for this clutch :)

Loving this build. I was surprised to see just how well that Zippo lighter fuel bottle turned into a muffler XD. I'm sure there will be less oil discharging once you tune the engine a bit leaner.

I have no idea why this is so interesting to me but I subbed to see where it goes. Very cool!

Impressive af ! Big big BRAVO !

This is dopest thing I've ever seen bro!

Next, a dual clutch auto😂

Awesome video. You are an artist.

Very impressive, Cheers from N. California 👍🏽

Q 90 ..usted es un Monstruo en este tema 👍...lo felicito*

Put a bigger fan with more blades on the radiator to make it more efficient 👌

This is genuinely amazing

Actual tyre smoke is epic!!! Can't wait tonsee this tuned, it's going to be a beast!!

Yoooo I was watching all your videos last night and then I see you upload the project I’ve been most excited about let’s goooo 😂

that exhaust is just to clever!

1941 Hudson Pickups have what they call a Safety Clutch. They look like a torque converter. The cone is aluminum with 1" diameter cork disks running in a special lubricant similar weight to ATF.

If you had the same large machinery....you can build your own car.....amazing Launched too many times and blew the clutch lol

amazing stuff

The Project Binky of the RC world...simply fantastic!

Awesome Video Johnny!

Your channel never disappoints!!!

Good job. I love . In my opinion it vibrates a lot and sounds like a loose screw. It is a magnificent assembly of pieces. 👍 and I respect the detailed work. Greetings JohnyQ90
