DIY For Life!




Hello Members and guests,
                                      I would like to present my first RC Car which has a custom made wooden chassis. Here's the youtube video link...


             
 currently I am using a flysky 6 ch. radio, 2 cell lipo, geared brush motors, and a standard servo for the steering. I plan to upgrade the motor and the battery as my current setup is a very low speed one. I also plan to fabricate a body which will sit on top of the chassis. 
Your suggestions / comments are most welcome.

Absolutely GREAT effort. Seems to generate a lot of torquey power. You may want to build it into a Moon Buggy or a Dune Buggy with bigger tyres.

got the idea... after looking at the pictures, I got an idea how the roll cage will look like...will use 1/2 mm galvanised wire to make the roll cage...will paint it blue... now I am going to mix the looks of a buggy and a drift car... hope it drifts...!

Alok bhai, Why cant you use more rpm geared motors..? or try using brushed motors with single stage gear reduction.. will give you a decent speed... Very nice effort.. The car looks good, make it more good bro.. Smiley  Thumbs Up Thumbs Up

I am dreaming of making my own differential gearbox one day...I am currently thinking of upgrading to 1000 rpm geared brush motors and a 3 cell lipo...will cost 2500-3000/- more...so kept it on hold... meanwhile, I designed a reverse system as my turnigy brushed ESC does not have a reverse function...Here's a video overview of my RC car when I was testing the reverse system on the bench...




I need some good looking tyres...I need ideas on how to make cheap DIY tyres...

Cheapest would be to get them off a cheap Chinese rc car you can get around for 300-600 bucks. I had bought a similar car and ripped out the electronics and replaced them with my proportional rc system Tongue
I am afraid that only tailspins and some short power-slides are all that a rear-wheel drive rc can do Sad If you can power the front wheels too, it would definitely drift! Best of luck!! Smiley

I want to sell the 2 motors which currently power my car... i.e. 12 volt geared 1000 rpm-8kg torque DC Brushed motors. tested only for 1 hour.

Reason- I want to upgrade to high RPM motors as I plan to make a 4 wheel drive drift car....... Price-600/- plus shipping. Pics will be uploaded soon. Here's a video of the motors running off a 2S 2200mah Lipo...Kindly PM if interested.

Good build. Sunfoam? Please change the wheels. If need be, buy a cheap toy car and take the wheels off.
