Are you going to have a throttle control?

.
Yes a tuned pipe rc valve look

Finding a way to control was not easy I almost lost hope I will surely revise the system the gearing ratio is 9 turn of engine for one turn on wheel Should be quick with the punch

Soon for the first test there will be a short video The linkages gave me a headache but I found a good way I will add spring on one side stil have To Find a way to set the idle and have a neutral.
Currently it brakes when idle and fuel tank is to big

It runing Good

VERY NICE!! Looks like she runs great!

I don't know why I said to the scale 1\16 its a 1\18 dromida 4.18 truck The real test once all the small adjustments have been made Much better than the previous model, not faster though Balance well wit Good acceleration at start-up from standstill it drift corner and tight turn

Moves out well. Good work!

Good Fun ! Man you got it going on with the transition !

I enjoyed your video David. That thing really scoots. Very stable too in the tight turns. All stars on your build.

Bob

Enjoyed watching this, great work

Thank you all I really had fun building it it was easy as well less time to build than almost all the other models This little truck has advantages like the reversible differential so you can use any engine model.
By any I mean turn right or left The parts to modify like the drive shaft are easy to find, made with aluminum, a simple bar that can be modified easily with a gear of the right diameter which is fixed with a set screw. On m'y I used a derlin gear from junk stuf Which I modified very simply One end of the drive shaft is larger with an x-shaped notch the gear that lay in my junk pile had a tip like a busching Which was part of the gear I shortened it then cut with notches To fit and fixed it wit a ruber bushing glued in place That way it's held in place. Now What will be the next build

Looks and runs great. Excellent job David

That is just lovely. Good work!

Great job David…. I’ve enjoyed watching your solutions to make your models run
Looks like a lot of fun on the ice!!

Slipping /sliding/spinning /jumping !!! That looks like alot of Fun other than the cold weather LOL Good job !

Here's another one

So many childhood memories doing similar with Christmas RadioShack RC cars .....(our children's childhoods 1980s)

Maintenance day for the small truck ful engine inspection complète brake down piston conecting rod reset after brake in the engine has a super Good compression al Good Then I received parts for the brake calipers of my nissan skyline I have two kinds of fat all are written in Japanese Chinese I recognize one but the other pink color tells me nothing it say Rubber grease The other package the only sign I can decipher translate is rx_2 I wonder if someone can give an indication of what sort should go in and on the piston for the instalation and The other kind for slider pin The last time the guy who did the job put the wrong thing which destroyed the seals
Deciphering the instructions in Japanese impossible, that must be why the last time was not correct

Just looking at the instructions gives me a headache If I knew which kind was used last time I could use the other this time If I don't manage to know in the end, I have a chance out of two of succeeding
Looks like it's the same thing but I think one kind is really to go on the piston seals the other in the pins

another great build
were did you get that car
I might try and replicate what you did

It's pretty easy to replicate. Car is cheap its a dromida d.t 4.18 desert truck eBay as à couple cheap parts avalible If you want more detail it will be a pleasure

I think that you are lucky
the cars are hard to find for me or expencive (60 dollar +)

Me it was a new truck at the time I paid $150 Canadian dollar I really enjoyed it when it was electric, I used it for several years This year the current speed controller has broken and I said to myself why not convert this To a cox engine After checking it was obvious that it was possible I don't really calculate the total cost But for me it was not very expensive because I already had all the things to build it Just the exhaust system for example must have cost me almost $40 on ebay plus the norvel .061 hélicoptère cooling head 25 or 30$ cant remember It's cheaper to look for a model 1\16 nitro Something like an exceed blur hsp bugy those .7 has Good power i also have one But in the yard in winter it's a bit big it want to move fast this 1\18 Is more adequate And .049 cost ridiculously cheap to ride fuel gets more.expensive So I have to be creative to keep having fun for cheap
