The great thing about RC cars is that you never get tired of driving them. Because they are always broken and you are waiting for new parts.

genius as this guy is ....I appreciate the fact he shows us where some of his ideas weren't that great....proves he's human

Johnny's Loctite 603 is like ChrisFix's medium strength Threadlocker

That's a lot of power for that little car. It's going to rip! (apart)

Hearing an electric rc shift gears like that was awesome! This car is going to be very fun to drive.

this thing is gonna be hella speedy, good aero will probably be a must.

I surprised you haven't made a mini ugga-dugga gun for the wheel lugs

That brushless combo is a bit overkill im curious to see how those plastic gears survive

Love watching your build series, the try it approach and finding things don't work and then making a work around fix.... Its great fun.

that tapping jig is awesome. one of your best projects. simple but so clean and elegant.

I used to have one of these..you can change the springs on the shifting arms.. stiffer spring= later shift.. then you could have second hit at around 40% throttle and 3rd hit at 70-80%. That will give you better usable gear ratio and better throttle feel instead of it basically going straight to 3rd and pulling high gear the whole time. Also will keep your motor cooler. Can't wait to see final results! Sweet build!

for a first ever rc electric car that you make, that is always a great success

You really inspire! I've startet to redo an old HPI savage X 4.6, and I've eyed out the exact esc/motor combo you've got there. I thing fun things are coming for us both!

Hobbywing makes some of the best performance ESC's and motors I have ever experimented with

I would highly recommend either upgrading your radio or if that one can do it, adjust the exponential setting so you have more trigger travel in between gears.

That gear shift made me smile

I love this channel because you dont talk for 30 minutes and then go eat noodles then do 5 minutes of work. You get straight into it.

It makes me happy to watch things iwill never be able to afford

electrism is the king vs petrol engines. I really like that you get into an electric build(way more classy) and i am looking forward to see what your magic hands will show us !!

We could rebuild him. We have the technology.

Love all the engineering that you do , I've been building and racing RC car all my life , you need to properly setup your radio and ESC , your settings are off that is why you have full throttle at 20% once this is adjusted correctly the car will be easier to drive.

I loved my Menace GTR. Shame it was so fast I couldn’t control it and kept on smashing it up. Looking forward to part 2!

Great idea! I've always wondered why 2/3 speeds are not available for normal electric cars and posted it on several groups. The only answer I got is that you can switch out electric motors for faster ones but using a 2/3 speed on your existing motor saves investing in more expensive motors/esc etc. Also I like the switching sound it makes :-)

Max 8 combos are my go to esc and motor. Pretty brave of you to install it on a belt system.

I love that you put your mistakes in as well man. I've learned so much just from your mistakes it's not even funny. Thanks for your knowledgeable videos brother!

A tip for setting the height on your mill: Take a piece of paper and put it between the gap of the plate and the mill. When the paper gets scratched you are 0,1mm away from the surface. This saves your cutting edge. Nice work, keep it up =)

Nice one! I really love that you leave your mistakes in the final video so others can learn from them!

I had the old nitro version of the back 15 or 20 years ago. It was so fast and you need a good stretch of smooth road to open her up and get to 80-90mph. This is gonna be a fast ride!

That thing is going to accelerate like a BEAST.

Thumbs up for the electric build! Been patiently waiting for the uploads, keep'em coming!

Always a Treat to watch you work. Thanks for sharing Mr. Q

if you would come in front of me, i would give you a huge salute. you have increased my childhood excitement. love your artwork. love you too dear

Weird seeing electric but those brushless motors have the power nice build looking forward to the next phase.

Great video, As a long time and now retired racer I would highly recommend you add support to the 2 post you have the tie rods connected to, if you watch your video you will see a lot of movement in the shaft and arm the servo drives and this can give you some very shaky steering. Waiting on part 2.

1st guy in my life i see drill and tap a servo horn. Attention to detail is nuts.

Thank you for not ruining this video with annoying repetitive music :)

Can't wait to see the end product. No comentating but so captivating! Keep up the great work.

I was SO happy to see that you quietly switched to XT60 and got rid of these bad deans connectors 😊

Wow,that was the LOUDEST "SNAP" I've heard in quite awhile!!! (or MAYBE it was because my throttle was up pretty loud too!?!?) But LOVED watching this build and can't WAIT for the NEXT video to see You test-drive this honey!!! Great job JohnnyQ90!!!

Always interesting to watch, keen to watch the next part

英語読めないけど 見てて楽しいし ラジコンとかとにかくものづくりが好きだ

JQ: Those standard tyres will last precisely 10 seconds. They’ll probably turn into pizza cutters and blow at high speed. Definitely recommend foam tyres, even if you need to get small ones and glue them onto large wheels. These might do the trick but Kyosho / Ofna 1/8 scale wheels tend to be quite large: www.ebay.com/itm/RC-4Pcs-Light-Foam-Tires-Nylon-Wheel-17mm-Hex-Set-For-HSP-1-8-Scale-Racing-Car/372401741806?hash=item56b4df9fee:g:wMUAAOSwFLBaWCy5 You’ll need to turn them down and the hexes will probably be the wrong size too, but foam has FAR less rotational inertia and a high speed blowout causes a LOT of damage! You might also consider GRP or Sweep brand belted slicks. They tend not to balloon. ukposts.info/have/v-deo/nnlmo21veqd62qs.html FYI, Schumacher did make an electric GTR, called the GTRe, but it only had a brushed 540 motor. www.rcscrapyard.net/schumacher-menace-gtre.htm In case you get bitten by the RC speed bug you might enjoy these videos: ukposts.info/have/v-deo/i3yVaWmhjG5iwqc.html ukposts.info/have/v-deo/cWaAdrB7gGeLqoE.html ukposts.info/have/v-deo/e3GcgYiApIV00Kc.html ukposts.info/have/v-deo/fZh9ial4gZietp8.html

Killer build and you are a wiz on the machining and custom work. Wow! Great job 👍👍👍

Each build as impressive as the last Johnny. I think you’ll appreciate the electric platform.. extreme power on tap. It’s also very simple... even though I can tell simplicity isn’t your thing! Thanks for all the hard work in editing to share with us. Always looking forward to your next project

9:22 bro,what a strong sticker

Good choice of motor/ESC. I honestly wouldn't be surprised if this thing hits 100mph

I have the same radio, great range and very reliable!

Hi Just Some Quick Advice, You can use a Gear either before or after the first gear wich Engages in the reverse direction but since all the gears will turn you should expect higher gear wear so you should probably look into other materials. Awesome Videos,Love the channel.

mam that issue with first gear not disengaging is something we all wouldve over looked, i think everyone has done something similar. the classic, wow that seems like a simple fix then the wow i see what it was the way it was before. glad to see you owning up to it bc its easy to hide in a yt video, but we are all human and are lying if we say we havnt done that. great video though, i cant wait for part 2, i love your builds

Damn it’s a good day when Johnny uploads a video.

Wow this is a great idea of ​​what model it is.

it would be awesome to hear you speak about what it is your doing. you do amazing work!!!!

congratulations for the project, execution and use of professional equipment 🚀👍

Awesome! I used to have this car. Many years a go though. It was nitro and super fast. Very hard to handle lol

This thing is going to need 3" wide soft foam tyres running on carpet to get traction. Its going to be deadly.

Wonderful ! Simply wonderful. Thanks for sharing, mate.

This channel...I’ve been subbed for years, and I just love watching the process.

I think I've found my favorite RC Channel 👍🏾👍🏾

I had an offroad version of this back in the 90's, had the 2 speed trans on it. Trying to remember the name of it.

Real skills here diy servo horn wow Great job

Thanks, looking good this far! I was just about to order that exact same ESC, but it'd be better off with XT90 instead of XT60. BTW small dirty parts are easy to clean in an ultrasonic cleaner with a tad of soap in the water (to make the ultrasonic cleaner easier to clean ;-)).

Excelente trabajo esperamos ver el resultado final le envio un saludo desde Venezuela.

I don't know much about the RC hobby but you do nice clean work. Thanks for the interesting video!

Amazing! You can race with that!

on the road, when you will be driving, there will be more resistance from driving it so the gears wont engage so quickly.

Love your work shop, you have a lot of amazing machines no wonder you do amazing work

Brake discs looks cool on cars and even cooler on RC cars

Cool Project! I`m curious of the results! looking forward to the first tests!

Really cool build. I need to find a really cheap brushless motor setup for an ebike build. May need to make a transmission like this.

Always happy to see a new JohnnyQ90 video!

Very nice, you may want to increase the shift point rpm so it doesn't shift too early. There may be too much load on the spur gears and in effect shredding them if it shifts at too low of an rpm... 😉👍 Nice, that thing is going to fly!

Wow!!! A true Engineer!!!

I love the fact that we have seen Johnny's last nitro build and are now experiencing his new electric build

i think you need to make the gears engage at higher throttle inputs. try stiffening the clutch springs like you did with the V4 4 stroke 1/8th car build

I spent the whole video being mesmerized by the tools you have. I’ve never been this jealous.

This is going to be awesome

I`m really curious as to how that nylon will hold up under load, the gear engagement seems kinda brutal, but I have no reference point for something like this hehe.. Looking forward to see how it goes :)

Very excited as I am with any video you make, to see the next part :)

Looking forward to part 2 when we see 0-lost in I just put in on the ground and turned round to get the controller

Your gonna do what you like anyhow. Its noisy for videos but get a spray mist coolant system. What I have been taught with carbide tooling is drenched coolant or none at all. Counterintuitive being a spray mist. But it seemed to work well.

That should be a monster can't wait to see what the end result is

That's a powerful system. Gonna be interesting to see if the transmission will hold. IMO the transmission is pointless, but I guess you do it for the fun.

Best Rc build iv seen

Teach me my master! amazing build! thank you!

You can adjust the shift points for 2nd and 3rd gears. Should be a set screw with a spring behind it. When you tighten the set screw it will raise the engagement rpm.

I wish I had the knowledge and tools you do lol awesome

Amazing as always. I do appreciate all the automated machines and glad you have manuals as well. However, I wonder what you use for CAD CAM software.

That is an amazing set up you have really skilful

That's a very nice car, I have a few myself I haven't ran in some time. Some nitro some brushless. Sooner or later I'll upload some videos of the aluminum parts I'm making for the cars. Awesome video.

the moment i saw your lathe, i subbed. great content

That is going to be a fast car awesome build

I would recommend more silicone grease in your ball diffs. I always loaded mine up til it oozed out. Better too much than not enough

Thats why i love more electric motor s than gas !!!!!!! So beautifull sound and project

I’m impressed that you figured out why 2nd gear stripped

Thats just AWESOME Id love to have a lath like yours I'm building a plane from foam board I've got the wing put together already its 4ft 6inch wing span A lath would come in handy to build a lot of the parts im going to have to order and cost more money Just building the plane its self only cost me around 10 bucks 3 sheets of foam board and 4-5 glue sticks The electrics and connectors are whats going to cost the most If I had a lath I could cut that down a bit lol Great job That thing works great 👍✌️

Nice built. Maybe you need a extra support for the rear of the motor. You have A lot of gears. Tekin has can mounts. It will help to prevent flex

Super cool watching this. I love rc cars of all kinds. I wouldve used loctite on all the screw going into metal. Lol. Im guessing the plastic 3 speed gears are going to fly apart at full throttle, probably the clutch as well. If the clutch and plastic gears dont just fly apart at 90000rpm than theyll melt from the heat of friction with the metal gears. Lol. I dont see gears made for running the low rpms of gas doing well at 90000rpm electric speeds and heat. Lol. Its gonna be awesome.

Very very nice! I wish they still made those

Is it keeping the gearbox in an electric car a must though? Apart from the coolness and all?

Awesome bit of engineering there mate.
