V-TWIN Engine 4x4 RC Vehicle Conversion! 

Sp true. He worked long and hard to acquire the skills to do this for sure.

Relax bootlicker. Yeah he's so talented that he can't even open his mouth

As a guy who builds engines for a living yeah I do. And haven’t met one guy who does small tedious work like this in his home. Let’s see what you can make

@@jakelong781 thanks for replying. My instincts said that this was a unique builder. But needed someone like you with true shop experience. I get that the skills are learnable. Calling someone talented and skilled does not mean everyone else is dumb. How much more would we need to see to be able to call someone skilled?

@Alan H, that comment wasn’t for you. It was for Charlie

The clutch problem is one that Johnny has encountered countless times in the past and stubbornly refuses to do anything about. He seems to think you can use a clutch for an engine turning 17k+ RPM on an engine that maxes out at 10-12k RPM without modifying it in any way and always goes 'well shit' when the clutch slips so much that the car barely moves. He does this with gearing too; just steadfastly REFUSES to gear his fast builds correctly and they clutter along at half the speed of continental drift as a result. The man's a god with a lathe but he is terrible with setting up an RC car to work with an engine that doesn't rev very high. And it's really frustrating for those of us who love what he's building and want to see it perform its best. We tell him this every single time and it just gets ignored. With this particular build all he has to do is machine some heavier clutch shoes out of steel and it would have all the power it could ever want to climb basically anything. Instead he left the light weight composite shoes in it and they're just not able to engage enough at the low RPM this engine runs to transfer any power. They're barely engaging enough to keep the engine from overspeeding.

or if he is already working with a differential, he could build a Toyota style hybrid drive, with an electric motor instead of braking the diff

@@TestECull hope he reads this.

A kyosho grc should fix the clutch issues.

@@fabianrudzewski9027 lol no. KISS applies. Heavier clutch shoes would fix the problem here.

It is definitely geared too high for crawling. I think lower gearing might make the throttle easier to modulate as well. Looks like a full size off road rig taking technical obstacles in 4-HI with an automatic. You rev it up and then it jumps over the obstacle with an uncontrolled lunge. Seems like it could also use lower weight oil in the shocks or pistons with bigger orifices. It's a hell of a start, however. Just need some tuning.

Cannot agree more. As soon as I saw this engine that was the first thing I had in mind

or a bentley blower. with the internals where the engine would be in the original.

He should just make the body himself, he’s got the skills!

but i can't find a scale Morgan 3 wheeler in the market.😥

@@Stirlingkit I wouldn't expect there to be one. It's a very simple body shape, either make an aluminium one or make a vacforming mould

Lipos were absolutely magic. Completely changed the hobbies planes and boats as well

@@semiprofessional8470 the charge times on those old batteries were a crime

@@xXAlexbXx-hl9nf what's wrong with 18 hours for 8 minutes of run? Just buy 10 sets with 5 chargers and you can run as much as any normal person would want!

Loool

Why is it nuts?

@@nateg6320 something reserved usually for heavily modified engines, generally not street cars. Not every performance shop is willing to do stuff like that. Plus he did a teeeeeny tiny version of this

@@HatelivesNextDoor roger that 😎

@@HatelivesNextDoor It's basic machining. "Shops" like speed shops don't do any machining, whatsoever. The most they'll do is make up bracketry for mounting stuff an welding tubing together for exhaust and induction. For an engine builder, it's trivial work. And to add, the way he does some of this stuff is actually very cringey to watch.

@@timramich you can take your negativity literally anywhere else on the internet. Maybe channel it into showing us how much better you can do it?

This and the aluminium parts design

The engine may be hot but the rest of the car looks like it's freezing with that shaking, poor thing :(

nah, it spits out much fuel. so it's running rich + cool.

me too

he'd better off with some aluminium shoes as they grip harsher rather then smearing away in the clutchbell like the plastic/carbon ones do in low rpm. and more aggressive gearing for lower speed.

@@casemodder89 Alli ones have their disadvantages too unfortunately. One being they're louder. 2 being they mushroom and a 3rd reason they polish themselves out.

@@casemodder89 some harder composite ones or hybrid would probably be decent though

@@MaNNeRz91 a hybrid 6 shoe clutch grips like hell but does not last too long. had a 6-shoe orion clutch with the central spring in my xray Xt8 truggy and it had some serious bite off the line. but really high maintainence as the plastic shoes wore fast in the ruff clutch surface that appeared when using alu shoes 100% or hybrid with plastic ones.

@@casemodder89 oh nice I had the reds tetra adjustable clutch on my nitro RC. love it... One thing to take into account though is that RC clutches are spinning a lot faster and if jumping or rough surfaces are involved the clutches wear a lot quicker than the clutch on this project would. There's also the addition of dust and sand adding to the abrasion of the shoes and bell and they probably get a fair bit hotter too. There are materials out there that combine aluminium shavings with carbon and resin which work great on brakes I think it's called "sintered" or something?
