RC V8 Car w/ SUPERCHARGER & Auto Gearbox! 

I can't wait for the next episode DSG GEARBOX AND NOS 👀👀👀

Yet more proof that no matter what size it is, a V8 with a supercharger will always sound awesome.

I don't like ads, but I do love the fact that you got sponsored!

The full size counterpart has teflon strips on the leading edge of the rotors to seal them against the case. Given your abilities and tools you maybe able to make something similar that would help with the rotor clash.

I really enjoy watching the problem-solving and quality engineering on this project. Great work!

Your machining skills are impeccable sir

I would have looked at gearbox from an HPi savage. The gears are metal from the factory, it has a 3 speed upgrade option and it’s already designed to be mounted between frame rails. I would have kept the slipper clutch, it takes the shock out of the gears on the upshift since there is no other place to allow slippage to soften the shock load.

That compressor sure sounds awesome!

Somebody: How many holes you need in base? JohnnyQ90: All😂😂

You know whatd be cool? You make an old realistic model of like a 1970s charger or older muscle car and put that in there to make it a functioning model. Another thing is woth the rotary engines you should make a 13 rotor like the one made irl. Thatd be fukin awesome, id pay big money to see a minature 12 rotor😂

18:14 - you only need brakes if you plan on slowing down. Never plan on slowing down. It's my motto...

That supercharger's tiny intake and exhaust ports are going to choke it. I guess the engine's tiny intake ports are also too small too. Maybe some CNC porting now that you have a broken engine to experiment with?

Have you ever considered selling these?

This channel just keeps getting better and better. Unbelievable craftsmanship!

Very cool retrofit for the super-charger. Seems like you have a pretty good ratio on the drive.. very snappy! Just the fact that you now drive it off the back of the crank will most likely make it more reliable. Well done Johnny!😉👍👍

I hate commercials but this one about JLC3DP was spot on...

You so need to take it out to a parking lot for a quick rip! I love this project, and your machine skills are impressive, I hope that the blower doesn't shred itself and even worse your new motor to bits, keep it up brother all love!

Love every video as I live vicariously through your skills!

Quality as always Johnny.

😍😍👋👋Thank you for including JLC3DP 3D Printing to the project! Really nice work!

Amazing work! Some Teflon strips on the rotor lobes might be in order.

I'm seeing Toyan everywhere and they're freakin fascinating.

With the amount of custom work you already have to do, you might as well use their engine as a template and make one yourself but better lol.

So professional and amazing to watch 💪

there's more passion for engineering here than there is enjoyment for the hobby. i can completely understand and respect it 👌

Good stuff! You should try a boost gauge on it, just to see what it's doing.

Jonny Q90, the man with the solution for all problems :D

I wish i had a machinist shop like you man i could do so much more things with my rc car

I need someone with this skill to build a new differential for my Tamiya TRF414M2. I have been looking for years and I can't find one.

I was like "No way it's going to whine" It whines, and sounds awesome! Nice job!

My day is complete

This is literal art. ❤

There is nothing you couldn't build. Mad respect

"The V8 RC car gets a Powerglide conversion" Fixed your title. Lol!

Love the quality as always.

I think Robinson makes all metal gears for that TMaxx transmission, or use a summit trans , has hi and low and is built alot tougher

If you don't put a mad max themed body on this masterpiece I'll riot

Impressive! Well done 👍

There are some brake kits for 1/5 scale you could probably get ideas from. I ran hydraulic brakes on my mechatech but they also have cable actuated sets.

Amazing work. Love it. 🤘

Omg,with that supercharger on there,that thing is wicked quick! But you’re right, heard those rotors clanging against each other at speed and the rear tire closest to the camera isn’t balanced at ALL,the other one doesn’t seem that bad however! I LOVE watching this build Man! Well done so far!❤

I'm watching from Japan!

Wow, great job!

Fabulous work.

Wow, this is super cool I really enjoy this kind of contest. Thank you.

Once again, another awesome video. I love the effort you put into your builds. And the super charger sound is 👌

The supercharger whine seems louder than the engine lol! I love it!

Fricken brilliant

Insane man....... Love it!

Bro this is nuts I absolutely love it.....❤

this is truly amazing!

Sounds wicked with the blower! Just awesome content as always.

When you decide to use the reverse feature built in I highly advise you make very certain the car is at a full stop and at idle. I have trashed many reverse gears in my revo that I converted it to forward only with a center diff and then brushless. Also I eliminated first gear.

All this precision work, bro make it look easy ...🙌

Dude this is incredible love this type stuff, subscribed for sure!

Nice idea on the transmission mounts

Ever think about building a turbocharger? They make mini turbocharger keychains that are actually functional and rated for heat/flow. It's got a turbine housing, connected turbine and compressor wheels and everything. I think it'd be awesome.

LOVE your videos.. I even watched the advertisements in it.

When working to trim plastic, skip the barrel sander and get a carbide end. Creates smooth cut and not a melted headache.

I'm passionate about that competition whistling V8 engine 😂😂😂 very detailed 👍

A way to measure the output power with and without the supercharger could be interesting, maybe you could hook a motor and a variable load to do some basic testing. Nice work with the machining of the parts!

traxxas revo transmission is pretty fragile when going to forward to reverse and abusive driving

Good stuff man!

A good real full size super charger has one groove cut length ways down the very top of each rotor blade with a teflon strip inserted into the groove cut slightly protruding pass the edge of the top of the rotor blade so it help center the rotor in the case as it turns and protects the case from metal to metal scarring and it also helps provide a better seal as the blade turns which means better boost and more power to the engine.

The dude has some awesome skills

waiting for the day we'll see him building a RC car with a PDK gearbox

Duuuude! You and your channel are sooo amazing❤😊

I think I put in a 3 speed auto in my savage. They are adjustable for shift points too

Now you can recreate the Mad Max Interceptor!!! Great work

You should do a Q&A sometime. I would be interesting to see how you got into this. Was this a profession that turned into a hobby? etc. Great videos!

As if this isn’t the coolest freaking thing in the history of the internet!😍

quality as always!Look forward to next episode😇

I want to see a racing series with the Toyan V8s, it would be spectacular to see the smallest of small blocks on the race tracks of 🇬🇧.

Ah going down the same rought i did!. Great transmission. Using the same on my Howin L4 172 build.

That is so sick

Revo is a great transmission.. won't survive your v 8 torque unless you leave some slipnin the clutch. Good luck keeping that consistent.

Can you remake the whole gearbox into metal? :)

Love your work

LoL NICE ! Such a small engine with the sweet whine of a compressor where the noise matches absolutly to the size it has. Great 😁

Epic as always!!!

That's the future of V8. Thanks EU for caring

I'm so glad you addressed the wonky wheels because it has been BUGGING me

rolling road and all go ahead you legend

Only you can pull this off Johnny.

Nice work👌

gotta love the name of the fueltank? seamless... hehe can see the line across the entire thing.

Been watching since the micro turbine days, everytime I see a new vid in my feed I instantly click and watch. Keep up the great work! Would love to see a lathe tour at some point as I have been considering getting one

I think it would be cool seeing you try to make an auto yourself like that sequential 3 speed you did. Could call it the 'microglide' playing off of gm's powerglide.

The “blower” was spinning the right direction. The way you mounted it is backwards

A while back, I had a 1/5 scale FG clone I wish I could have done all of this to. If there is a way to cycle oil through the system to keep that supercharger from eating itself, that thing is going to be a beast. Looking forward to seeing the progress

So impressed bro...not that it means anything to you, but amazing work everytime....I 9nly hope I can someday catch up to your machining skills

I have to say I thought that was gonna be a low gear ratio but seeing how fast it takes off i cant imagine a 3.00:1 ratio

Awesome handiwork my friend- Very competent, One question, what wheels & tyres you using pls

Nice job

Love that it started to make a real blower sound. Would greatly improve performance with modern style Hihelix rotors whether they be interference or not. And making sure if they do you have a decent coating of fuel along the whole rotor. Same as what we do full scale on our 6 and 871 blown race boats haha

Damn, that's cool !

I believed you need to take a look at the seating if the bearings on that supercharger !

Omg, it sounds sooo good

Haha. That "binding" is the clearance of the rotors sealing.... all that work to reduce the efficiency of the blower.

17:53 I'm zoomed in on that unit 😊😊😊
