I think it would be the freakin coolest thing ever if you did a series making a miniature v8 engine. Feel like it would be possible with your milling machine.

8:10 RIP headphone users

This brought me back to my childhood... I had a Mugen MTX-3 and an HPI R40. For me, working on the aluminum and carbon and fine adjustments of everything gave me a deep appreciation for precision works and mechanical grip, racing, etc. I never got super great at racing these cars for more than fun, but still they inspired a great passion within myself for cars and all things precision. Now I work on MRI & CT systems, and built a pretty nice turbo Prelude which is on my channel. Sadly I sold my Mugen but still have the R40, and if I ever have a kid I will surely do a "rebuild" like this with them! Thanks for the upload!!

I love how this is a showcase of all the tools and equipment Johnny's made on the channel so far, like the tapping stand and the fume extractor vent.

The motor mount fabrication was my favorite part! Cool restoration!

We're ready for PART 2!!!!!

So you basically just built an entire new RC car :D

Oh the ending is just too sweet! BEAUTIFUL work

Love your Lathe and milling machine work, every R/C user should have one.

Love this channel! Dude, i think you would like messing with 1/5 scale rc cars too!

Perfect work!!!

Holy moly nostalgia! The first body I purchased for my nitro r/c was an E46 M3...then an E39 M5. :D

I do hope that once this beauty is finished we'll get to see the test run. Thanks very much for sharing this project.

Always loved your channel

I thoroughly enjoyed this. Do more tear down and rebuilds for nitro rc. Can’t wait for part two

Thunder Tiger Ts4n! Have one for 18 years! It was my first nitro 1/10. Great rc for the money back in the old days! Raced it in competition 2 times just for fun and won a second and a first place! So after years i bought the first traxxas revo 2.5R at the time an some how manage to swap the engine from the revo to the ts4n. Crazy fast fun until the gears eventually went to rc heaven.. After watching your video makes me want to bring this thing back to life! Thanks for sharing and were's part 2 and running video?? :D

Looks great again! Would love to see a part 2 ;)

Damn this looks fun

Awesome restoration, with a tasty engine upgrade! I want to see it run!

I absolutely love these videos it’s eye candy to me! Keep up the innovation man🤙🏼

finally these awsome engines are getting put to use, i wanna see the rotary in an rc rx7

I would love to see it run 😍

Been watching on Instagram. Nice work! 🙂👍

Can't believe how a ts4n can last all this time, i have mine since i was 5 years old and now it has 11 years, i just have to change the belts and some plastic piece, the rest is fine and the engine runs really well

Sick. Love it. Also, that's a crystal AM receiver? Holy jesus that IS old.

Just love the CNC work!

Awesome bro !!! I love rc ! I absolutly seeing how u restor ur old one 😍😍

Amazing content) Waiting for next Good luck!

Awesome love restoring old nitro rc 👍🏽

Good video! I like it. I'm going to rebuild my hpi rs4 3 evo this week, just waiting for my chassis to arrive. Can I ask you what products you used to clean the plastic parts, and what you used for the springs before you painted them? Thanks in advance!

I would’ve personally upgraded the hardware to hex drive in titanium, and those s3003 servos are basic.. some upgraded brushless servos are sweet. And a custom carbon fiber top plate/radio tray would be really trick.

JohnnyQ90 Bonus Round...hellz yeah would love to make a little stirling-engine drive RC car for lols someday

Great vid, very nicely done. Thx for sharing👍

Watching the servo install, it looked to me as if the car now has a Gyro and Auto -corrects over steer? Nice job Johnny! Look forward to part 2.

would it be possible to make a set of rims on the 5 axis?

You handmake some of the nicest parts have always loved your engines

Would love to see some top speed runs, I got lucky and found an RS4-2 on ebay that was already converted to a .21 I love these old nitro RC cars

Love the TS-4N chassis... Great reliability... It refuses to die...

It's always fun to clean up an old dirty nitro they look very nice afterwords

yust seen 2 mins of the video, im loving the restorationprocess already!

Nitro will always be the best! Nice up grade!

They should make a motorsporting event called formula micro featuring these works of art.

МАСТЕР !!!! УДАЧИ !!!!

love those vintage rs4s! I have 2 originals rs4s running and enough belts and parts to make 3 more.

My all time favorite rc hpi rs4 super nitro. Nice setup.

Can't wait for Part 2. It is going to be a beast just to control! :) Cheers.

Great Hobby. I love RC and Nitro

Ts4n great lil car I've had a few got a 6+ year old ts4n that's never been run

This is why I love you. Thank you for being here.

SO COOL! thanks for sharing this with us

Nitro cars, on a class of their own.. love this.

more rc car videos please I love it!

This dude knows what he's doin'

is the body plastic? just askin bcs i have a rc skoda 120 and i want to convert it from the electric motor to airplane nitro engine. do you think this is possible?

Car looks lit can't wait to see it run

now i've remembered my hpi r40..haven't run it for 8 years:p

Yeeees, i love NITRO!

I need this car Love your Channel Johnny you have my sub

Looks awesome love everything you do!!! You inspire me to be a professional tinkererer also can I have this nitro car on this video? It would be awesome 🤓

such underrated channel...

Giant receiver - chilling in there Me - what are thoooose

My God that's a nasty little engine for that car🤯

Nitro RC 4 lyfe!!! Awesome to see all the cool projects ur doing with nitro engines =P

My boi JohnnyQ90 out here making Better car edits than most pro pages smh

Very good Work RC MAN :) greets chris

Is your clutch and gears gonna handle the new power

what kind a oil used for suspansion system ?

New Subcriber from Philippines

nitro power!!!!!!! and what engine is that. keep up the good work. the pocket NC v2 is cool

This engine is gonna tear this belt something fierce ! ^^

Bhai ye kaha de parches karenge

Sick beginning beat

What RC chassis is that? Seeing an AWD nitro thats belt driven is weird, a shaft driven (if space is avaliable) would hold power much much better. But oddly enough i wanna find the model you have so i can turn it into a drift car 😂 my electric isnt doing it for me anymore

Awesome 😄, i was looking for a video finaly very explicit how to restore a nitro rc car, can you make on fixing a nitro engine

Love Nitro rc with your touch

I know torque is a total different story but that bigger engine is like.. half the horsepower of a ttr125. A whole ass dirt bike. That’s wild.

Any info on that exhaust fan?

Heart attack at 8:11, be careful. lol

My moped has 3.5hp.... Love your videos man !

Sir please make your videos as soon as possible Love you🙏🏼

Anyone know what his new engine model is? Thanks :)

Hello! I also have a TS4N Pro. Can you help me? What components did you use to put that tank? Do you have any codes for the tank and its holder?

Woaw, Nice Job 👍

now i know where all the old thunder tiger stock went

Watching that, relaxing, calmly admiring the craftsmanshift with some music in the background... Then, 8:10

I would like to see more videos like this!

What mode of nitro rc car is that

What did you use to clean the plastics?

Don't use 4xAA battery! Get good 5x1.2V NiMH battery pack or 2x LiIon/LiFe plus 10A step down regulator. This servos under load with gyro will drain a lot of peak current = voltage drop. And pray that this belt will hold good with bigger engine :-)

I remember my mate had something like this when we were younger. Most of the time it wouldn’t start but when it did it was a beast.

Johnny, i really love your videos. Your machining and your ideas are awesome :D I always get some breakfast or lunch, then sit down to watch your video on my tv :D One thing, please get your audio straight xD I always get earraped as i turn up the volume for the music, then when the cnc machine comes, which is at "normal" level in your cutting programm it is extremely loud for me :D Try a more homogenous volume :D But thats just a small idea from me, I want to emphasize again, just how much i enjoy your videos man :D keep up the good work!

I did this recently and the one thing stopping me from finishing is a motor mount. I went from a .16 motor to a .21 motor on a 1/10th chassis.

More videos like these please!

Whoa! Been so long since iv seen a working thunder tiger TS4N

Using AA-batteries is asking for trouble. Li-Fe receiver pack would be much better, safer and last longer. Cool project. Made me think about fixing up my Ofna 2WD 1/8 scale monster truck with a 3.5cc engine with around 1.2Hp.. :)

Can you convert that nitro motor to run on gasolene petrol 2 stroke ,?

hey i have the following problem... Bought a new engine (force r.25) running-in phase, everything on the basic settings... engine starts well as soon as it gets lukewarm, it stutters so much that it almost goes out.. as soon as I adjust the idle mixture screw a little, it goes off when it stutters.. How do I fix this problem... I'm slowly despairing of the new motor :(

what engine that u used bro?

For a second I thought I was at the Bad Obsession Motorsports channe with that titlel ;)

Very nice!
