HPI Baga in wheel electric motor conversion that can go up to 200 Km/h, faster than anything on the market. Going on sale the end of Feb 2016, you can reserve yours today
I think this will be the future for car motors. I have been following it on facebook for many months and I have seen it go in mud, snow, rain, water, rocks, sand, you name it they tested it . This is the future I would bet on it. I also saw this motor installed on a Go Cart , man if a little motor like that can make the go cart move at 40 kph with a 150 lbs person on it, I can see it making the 1/5 RC car fly.
I was at Sanair on the weekend and got a chance to see the Tidnab car being tested, all I have to say is SWEET, keep up the great work, I want one of those
What was speechless is watching these small motors installed on a full size go cart , that thing went flying, Im a believer now.......................I don't think there is any other RC motors out there that can be installed on a go cart
I'd love to see the evolution of this. 4 wheel independent drive with full size torque vectoring, traction control, abs....the tech already exists. just need someone with enough money to put it all together.
Weird how this never caught on, like really wtf, all that free extra torque… the dynamic setting potential… pissin me off that we still aren’t here yet. Every big manufacturer should be offering this stock by now.
That'll add a lot of unsprung weight and kill suspension speed. Yes, suspension speed is a thing and very important in racing. Especially off-road. This tech is very cool though.
I have never seen anything so crazy, sign me up I want 4 of these motors for my Losi, I just watched the Go Cart video on line when will those crazy ass motors be on sale..................keep up the great work , your the best
Very, very nice. Have a few questions: 1. How does it cope with dirt, stones, water, mud, etc? I imagine dirt getting between the magnets and the windings wouldn't be good? 2. What do the motors weigh? Do you notice a big difference in handling because of the added unsprung mass? Maybe it would make sense to make the motors so that no rims/axles/hexes are needed and the tires mount directly onto the motors to save some weight? 3. What ESCs do you use, is there some kind of traction control? I guess using two standard ESCs will feel like a completely locked rear diff when driving? 4. Do you have plans to offer different sizes and kv-ratings for other applications? I'd be interested in motors that fit in 1/5th scale touring car tires.
+Jo P Having tow motors allows for better handling, and as for the weight , it is less than the weight that is removed from the car when you install them, you remover the gas motor, the gas tank, mufflers and all the other parts in a few testings we did we added more weight to the cars
He brings up good points, the added unsprung weight will not be good, you will always have locked differentials (not good at all for racing), and the motors are exposed to the elements such as water and stones....
Funny how they fail to mention the side torque on the motor bearings. I thought of this years ago and found it to be a failing idea due to the amount of debris encountered within the wheel area and the amount of torque the bearing will go through when taking corners. There is a reason why they use in-runner motors on surface vehicles. All i see is a lot of people replacing motors at an alarming rate. Just like the 3D TV, this will only be a fad and will fade away within a few years. (RC'ing for 30+ years)
that was more like 50kmh. For the people saying the bearings are issue, this is not true. All wheels have bearings behind them. The problem here would be rocks getting into the open outrunner design breaking and dislodging magnets. Should have used a sealed motor design to keep debri out, and massive water proof bearings.
Guys you can make one at 1/10 scale using a quadcopter and flight controller, mount a motor for each of wheels, the mounting of the motors would be tricky bit! But wow it would go!
200km/h? NOT TRUE!! What about resistance? like the wheel size and weight, traction, weight of the all car? isnt it count?? please redo the test but take it on the road with speed camera and then show us 200km/h!!
Same here. I call bullshit on the 200KM/h part. For the rest nice idea but these motors are not powerful enough even when 2 of those in combo... Whit these on you should be VERY VERY happy if it reaches 100KM/h
for the dumb ones: perfect condition means theoretical potential. a perfect condidion cant be achieved. perfect condition would be no resistance in a vakuum.
this can be done actually in a different manner and it would work flawlessly.. The wheels have to be O rings and having a calliper that surrounds a segment of the wheel fixed with it's own miny transmission and brushless motors making the O ring wheels spins as fast a spur gear. (i would use low kv motors for this. because it's like running on the spur gear. LOL.
This is nasty, after I saw the youtube video when they installed this little RC motor on a go cart, and that thing flying around with a full size adult on it, Im convinced this is the best RC motor out there. I WANT IT
This has to be only an initial step as percentage unsprung weight on rear wheels would be horrendous. If the motors were inboard and connected to axles, I could see the point....
glad to see im not the only one that has issues with this idea, to be honest it might have etter application in larg scale rc aircraft but i wouldnt put it on a car there are others playing around with this idea but even their protoypes have a more refined aesthetically pleasing look to them, these look like you found them on the shop floor, and dont even get me started on the sparks just hooking them up to the battery.
I think this is like the 100th video on here claiming the "world's fastest RC car" no matter what the scale size is. According to the Guinness World Records the fastest RC car record is/was 177mph and that was set back in 2014. The same guy also ran that car at 196.21 again in 2014. I have no doubt that has since been broken and wouldn't be to hard to do, if you can get a Ducted Fan jet to fly 200+ mph then with the right gearing a 12s or 14s electric RC car can do it. For those that don't know the conversion 200 km/h is only 124.274 mph.
Not practical at all, you will be replacing motors frequently. Dirt, dust and small rocks and pebbles will ruin those motors quickly. This has been tried many times and the reasons mentioned are why manufactures haven't put it out for production.
will you guys be making this for 1/10 and 1/8 scale aswell john? because i would be extremely interested in those scales. oh and where are you guys located i want a job with you guys! i think you have something with this technology!
When you use the mirror in the shithouse to come up with your company name, then I guess this is the kind of thing you find exciting. Highly inventive think tanking conversation taking place I think... " Let's call ourselves Bandit, like the guy with the Trans Am in the movie, we make toys go really fast too....and neither of us can act either " " Nah, let's call ourselves Tidnab instead. It's WAAAY cooler..." This is why Namtab never made it as a super hero I assume.....
should be connected to the steering channel on he reciever somehow, so you could adjust the different wheelspeeds activly when turning, that would be cool
I'm a little unconvinced of the speed, but the smoothness of the performance seem not to bad. the other thing is how much for the individual wheel motors, and what's the ingress like. Can't see them lasting more that ten runs
that's a nice rc car but I like the losi baja rey and the losi 5ive t, I like the losi 5ive t because its a good all terrqain monster and I like the baja rey because of its speed and suspension along with designs
Everyone is saying that its fake but when you think of it its not that far from the Traxxas XO-1 which already dose +160km/h (+100mph) STOCK and can still be modded
The titles false, theres one i seen in a HS thats a 1/5 says 216km/h in big yellow letters on the box. and that was last summer, before this video. If it was capable or not, is another story, but i didnt see this one carry itself at 200 either. And theres a youtube video on here of a guy who bought a car that goes well over 300.
To reach 200 km/h, the wheel must have a diameter of 7,73573165748031 inch (19,64875841 cm). If the wheel is about 5,90551 inch (or 15 cm) it would reach a Speed of about 153 km/h. But i dont know how to calculate the power, wich is necessary to oppose the mass and wind resistance. (By the way, i just had fun to calculate this)
Motors in wheels is never a good plan! The added unsprung weight makes the suspension work overtime to keep the wheel touching the ground. The faster you go, the more of an issue it becomes. This would have been a much better design if the motors replaced the diff, or replaced the existing 2-stroke engine.
Nice I was just thinking of this 9-17-2016 and then I ran across this video I would like to see many different scales of these cars with waterproof drone I don't think the motor will be a big deal mud I don't know still you learn as you go and it's a new platform never seen like no other ready to test them all no gearing makes it better in accelerating and 24s could be max voltage with the right setup down to 8s there would be no need for six in 1/10 scale and bigger I mean 6s in 1/18 to 1/12 wicked ♒️🌬🎗🏎🏁👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾🎟
How much for the system? What all is included? Will they fit inside the front wheels of a Baja to make them 4wheel drive? What voltage do they use? How well do they hold up to dirt and mud? I know the videos showed them being used at a baseball field, but I want to know how long were they tested in off road conditions.
I like the setup but the speed you stated isn't the fastest as the Traxxas Rustler I own tops out at 237km With only a modification on ride height, gear ratio and wheel diameter as a change from the original setup. I do have plans to place a 2 speed box in it soon.
How do you guys plan on keeping rocks and debris from getting inside the motor and destroying the windings and such , everytime I have had an open case motor it’s been destroyed by a tiny Little Rock that’s got inside while running and ruined the motor
You do not show this in motion. Taking a temp was completely useless and pointless, it wasn't under any strain or pulling the actual vehicle, simple free running wheel with no proof it goes 200kph .. And traversing that power into motion is something else entirely, what modifications have been made to keep this vehicle on the ground ? How long do the batteries last ? Many questions unanswered.
the idea of brushless motors as the the wheels bearings is interesting but rather dumb on a practical sense. Bearings can take quite serious beating while driving.. bearings are easy to fix and replace..
12s @ 24v??? Correct me if I'm wrong but Isn't 12s something like 44v. They also show tempratures and speeds with no load what so ever so of course they are going to be good. The people in this video clearly don't know much about electric R/C's should get their facts straight before trying to convince people to invest big money into a brushless system
+Gon Qu it's ok I get it, nothing personal. It just when you see so much negatively on what I believe has a lot of future potential, it's all trial and error that is what our country is founded on the industrial revolution.
