      Did you notice on the camera when you increase the speed the tires lose grip because they deform? RC fast cars use a kind of a rubber foam tire. Also you can put styrofoam inside the tires, like GoodStuff to avoid the lack of grip.

    • @keyes195
      @keyes195 Год назад

      I found something that should help you build a better car: if you look at some videos of Project air, you will find out that the gyros aren't a good idea for high speed as they have a tendency to be affected by the small socks that the car experiences. The type of tyres that you need are foam one as they aren't really affected by the rotation of the wheels.

    • @keyes195
      @keyes195 Год назад

      And btw, try to lower your car and reduce the amount of air that can go under it, to increase your grip, lower your center of gravity for stabilisation, and but some holes in the side parts of your chassis to try to make it lighter without losing strength

      Gearing(big gear little gear)(and if you decide to go like 4 wheel drive rc like you watched on youtube the Diffs gearing) you have way too much torque the tires ballooning up like that says it all your power is on the low end right now. When i first got my electric car rc i didn't understand how to get more top end but it's all up to gearing with electric unlike nitro whereas top needle low needle and idle needle determine the tune sure you could put a bigger brushless/batteries or higher amperage speed controller but then more weight and complexity. As for tires switch to bald like tires and get them nice and hot/sticky or find a smooth asphalt road. Another option is dual high kv brushless cans(plus they tend be much smaller and lighter) so you could get the torque(tire snap) at all speed ranges but you would still have to set the gear ratio.

      I recommend you get a hold of a pistol-grip style transmitter. It is far more intuitive for driving; I'm sure it will help you better understand the required control inputs when you're spinning out.

  • @fishandchipsinnit
    @fishandchipsinnit Год назад +84

    Hi! I've been driving hobby-grade RC cars for 5 years and 3d-printing for 3 so here's some tips:
    1. You're right, those are definitely not the right tires for 100 MPH, they are made for a short course truck. They also experience ballooning (which is what happens when the centrifugal forces expand the tire) which caused them to fall off the rims. And yes, they should be glued to the wheels, 99% of rubber tires for RC cars have them glued. For speedruns you would use either foam tires (which have more grip and are lighter, so they don't experience balloning) or belted rubber tires.
    2. The transmitter you're using is okay but it's not really meant for RC cars. It's much more comfortable to use a "pistol" type transmitter (for example a Flysky GT5, which you could use with the receiver you currently have.
    3. The top speed of an RC Car isn't magic and can be easily calculated. With your setup (6s LiPo, 108mm tires, 10T pinion, 50T spur, 1000 KV (motor RPM per Volt) motor) you could theoretically reach 102.6 kph or 63.37 mph, thats assuming 100% efficiency. The formula for this car (direct drive transmission) is: [((KV*nOfCells*4,2)/60)*(pionionT/spurT)*(Pi*tireDiameter)]/1000*3,6. If you wanna convert it to MPH just multiply the result by 0,62.
    4. Unless you have a perfectly smooth surface (like a strip of highway that's about to open) then you need good suspension, that is springs + damping. While the springs make the suspension "soft" or "hard" the dampers are used to make it less bouncy. You can try different hardness springs and viscosities of oil inside the shocks to tune it.
    5. Despite what many people say the aerodynamics of RC cars are important. Things like spinning tires generate a lot of drag so it's best to cover them under a body. I'd look at both racing car bodies (from Protoform or Bittydesign) and speedrun bodies (Deltaplastik) and try to design something similar.
    There is also a lot of stuff to consider about the suspension setup like caster and toe but with 3D printer tolerances they're less important than the things I mentioned. If you'd like to ask about something, I'd be happy to help.

  • @kaio37k
    @kaio37k Год назад +453

    Some suggestions in no particular order:
    - Design it to have adjustable toe. Toe-in would help a lot with stability.
    - Put a good sized vertical fin from around the center to the wing, like the ones you see on 2017 Formula One cars. This would increase straight line stability by increasing the resistance to yaw and steering changes.
    - Adjust the steering input to be speed-sensitive. For example: steering output = steering input / speed. Or something to that degree, whatever works best in testing.
    - Your suspension - especially the rear - is probably adequate in travel and spring force, but probably inadequate in damping, if those shocks even have real dampers on the inside. Those bumps are making the rear bounce and turn, forcing the front to go that way, which causes it to flip.
    - Increasing overall downforce would also help stabilize the car, and make it more resistant to direction changes from caused by bumps.

      also, you need to grease up your fancy ball-bearing driveshaft thing, and also grease up those ball joints. just adding grease would easily add 10 mph to your speed on the driveshaft. adding grease to the ball joints and any other moving parts would greatly improve performance, as especially at high speeds they will tend to "stick" if not greased up. grease reduces friction, which can help reduce wear, but also obivously helps increase movement, increasing performance.

    Foam tires will help, the ballooning hurts performance quite a bit. Also, instead of using two shocks, use one but grab stiffer springs and use thicker shock oil. A proper rc car remote is a must too, it's much easier to control. And a better road will improve stability too

I bet the difference between the two isn't that much frankly.

    As an enthousiast of Rc speedrunning and recent Bambu X1 carbon (& PAHT-CF) owner, you got me inspired.
    Some tips:
    1. Do really get a surface radio (you'll not need the gyro anymore) Control will feel way more natural.
    2. Tyres are everything. There are only a few brand offering foam tyres that can do 120+ reliable. Rubbers give more grip and only a few will do so. Grap yourself some GRP GT-sized wheels.
    3. Aero will reduce demand for power. But most lack of aero can be solved by power up to 100mph. You will certainly end up with a 4092 inrunner and a bigger ESC which doesn't limit your amp draw. Batteries (max amp draw and voltage sag) will be the next bottleneck. Do some research on "true C rating"
    4. Stiffen up your suspention. Definately the rear.

    You are right about the Universal joints creating that sine wave type motion. However if you have two (the exact same way the CV joints are setup) they actually cancel each other out completely removing the oscillation. That is why any production RC car the buy uses universal joints and not cv joints.

    • @paradiselost9946
      @paradiselost9946 Год назад

      yes and no.
      on the rear, input and out put are parallel and stay that way, neglecting unequal swingarm stuff...
      on the front, the wheels steer. theres the imbalanced uni joint. and the last thing you want is your front steering wheels having non-constant velocity.
      unless youre a rock crawler and speeds are slow enough to not give a damn.
      can always stick them on top of each other coaxially. gets complicated. CV is easier at that point.
      a lot of production cars are coming with CV joints now...

    I think you should get FPV camera + goggles and it will make your driving much more accurate immediately. Also adjust the max steering angle to be less for high speeds: either strongly non-linear control if you can avoid going to the sides during sudden movement or actually limit the steering angles similar to gaming console racing games typically do it.

    This is awesome! I also went down the rabbit hole of 3d printing RC cars and ended up redesigning a traxxas rustler 2wd, reusing the gearbox and drivetrain to create my own 3d printed speed demon. It’s got some reliability issues especially since i run it on 8S, and it’s gotten up to 60mph so far but I’m aiming for 100+. Gearbox is the main issue ironically. This video has got me thinking about doing a more custom build with printed drivetrain parts and such.
    A couple things you should do: buy a set of Hoons or GRP tires, lock the front suspension with a nice, ductile nylon or TPU filament, and lower your center of gravity. Make the wings a higher angle of attack, at this size a flat plate performs relatively efficiently compared to an airfoil. Get a much bigger inrunner motor, and make sure it’s rated for your ESC’s power output while providing adequate torque. These are all things I did and my car runs awesome on a good surface. Great work!

    Other than a smoother surface, you may want to soften your suspension as a common reason for losing power at speed is that the bumps lift your wheels. You may also want to lower the car as to lower the centre of gravity. Adjust your front wheels to some Tow-In, probably about 1 degree. This is not so great for cornering but offers stability in straight lines. Finally, look at adding a shell of some kind. This is primarily for aerodynamics. When you hit those speeds, wind resistance becomes a real factor and especially so if your chassis has areas which are either asymmetrical or potentially look to raise the car off the ground.

  • @theanomynousguy

    I think the number one thing you can optimize is the gear reduction, if you manage to get the amp draw the motor with the current setup at diferent speeds you can get a idea of the power/speed curve and estimate the max speed you can hit with this motor (his max power) then adjust the gear ratio to hit maximum voltage and current at this speed (migh differ a bit from theory, but it would be great start) , also try using gears with number of tooth that are prime one with another (=>1 is their only common denominator) to prevent premature deterioration

    Having a pistol grip transmitter will definitely make you feel more comfortable going at high speeds. I would say find a cheep Traxxas style rc and just get use to bashing it around and comfortable driving. Having a gyro compensate is fine but only after getting use to driving it plane. Also be careful of oscillations at high speeds from over compensation. I cant believe how well the printed car held up after that crash and I am so looking forward to seeing you hit +100mph.

      @@storm4710 sure, braking control is superior indeed, and although preference is not a technical aspect of it, it also plays a very strong role. thing is people is recommending a pistol grip like it is going to magically solve the car stability issues when it will make no difference and he's better keeping that radiolink and focusing on the root issues.

    Audio guy here,
    Nitpick, at 1:57 you mention the velocity fluctuating with a sine wave.
    A Sine wave is a lot less jagged, very smooth and round. You showed something that looked like a slightly distorted triangle wave.
    Love the video tho, first one I see from you and I will check some of your others :D

    Great job man, that thing ended up driving better than a brand new one I just bought lol. There are a ton of little details and caveats to good steering and control but somehow a 3D printed deal like this handles it all really well for what it is. I recommend some good oil filled shocks!

    Im making an rc car in my shop class with a brushed motor and low power traxxis components. It probably makes a bit less than 1 horsepower and doesnt have suspension, but i got it up to 40 mph on my schools track. It was previously capping out at 30 mph, but the addition of a simple cardboard aerodynamic body made it jump 10 more mph. In conclusion, you could add a body to make it way faster.

    Honestly you just need some foam tires, sway bars and less suspension travel. Also needs way more power. But you should not focus big on aero, you just need a wing at the back to keep it straight, but at 100mph you mostly just need power

    Universal joint can give you a constant speed but you need two of them. Your suspension is build in the way that the inner shaft is ALWAYS parallel to the wheel shaft. So if you put two universal joints, the will cancel each out. On the test stand you have only one "bend", so the rotation has oscilations, but if the shafts of the gearbox and the wheel are paralell then two oscilations in the universal joints has opposite phase.

  • @lkengarch

    Very nice work. I was dreaming to have this kind of project decades ago. Now there are 3Ds and since that, I believe things can make it highly possible. I would suggest to put in dynamic shock absorber, differential drive and brake system by making individual motors for each wheel etc. to overcome flip and increase stability.

    Nice work! Insane how refined that design is and has become over the years. One thing that you probably already know: your tires are badly deforming at high speeds, and I think that's really hurting your stability. Might need to 3d print larger rims and then make solid or nearly solid tires out of TPU or something.

    I would suggest that you make a 2 motor configuration to make more power. It would also be helpful to try and make a rear wing for a bit of down-force on the rear end which will help the car to grip and go faster.

    you might want to be careful when going at higher speeds with a gyroscope because you can get unwanted oscillations AKA fishtailing and completely loose control of it. also to avoid excessive tire ballooning you can wrap some fishing line between the threads on the tires or go for some foam ones. good luck and Godspeed!!!

    Loved the video! Also got a few tips for you:
    Put a RC Body on it. That would help an insane amount, when it comes to aerodynamics.
    Buy different tires! These things are offroad tires and not even belted, meaning they expand at high RPM, which isn’t good for stability.
    Use a proper RC Car remote, not an RC plane one. That would make it way easier to control.
    Hope this advice helps.

  • @DR-ip1rh
    @DR-ip1rh Год назад

    Here are a few things you can do to improve the stability:
    -Adding some toe-in to the front wheels will help it track straighter. (Toe-out will improve handling in the turn but won't track well) Loose linkages will add toe out, which will cause wandering. For that reason, you should use adjustable tie-rods so you can make adjustments.
    -Add 1 or 2 degrees of of toe in on the rear wheels too. This really helps when accelerating, which seemed to be a problem in the video.
    -Lower the suspension. Your ride height should be only as high as it needs to be, and since you're running on flats, keep it low.
    -Get some better shocks. Losi 22 or 8ight shocks will be MUCH better and still let you have loads of suspension if you want to go offroad. The shocks you have look like they're meant for low speed toys or rock crawlers or something.
    -Your springs and shocks should be set up so that there is approximately as much down travel ad there is up travel. That is to say, when you set your car down, the suspension should compress at least half-way. If you're riding at the top of your suspension travel all the time, the wheels are constantly leaving the ground. Having down travel helps keep the wheels on the ground, which keeps you in control.
    -Your rear shocks are too angled in at the top. They should be about half way from where they are to vertical. This is part of why you needed to add a second set of shocks - the more angled the shocks are, the less weight they can carry.
    -Your front shocks are angled the wrong way. They should be angled more like the rears, but not as much. This matters a lot. Angled in make the suspension progressively more stiff as it compresses, which helps control body roll. Angled out makes it progressively less stiff as it compresses, which makes body roll worse... that's bad.... really bad.
    -Move the motor to in front of the the rear axel rather than behind it, and the battery mounted transversely in front of that. This will give you better weight distribution.
    -Change your wheels to 1/8 scale buggy wheels. You're using short coarse truck wheels, which are designed for off-road. This will require a different hub, so get the wheels first and design to match.
    -Gluing tires to rims is a must... always. clean the surfaces well, and use lower viscosity, high quality CA to penetrate the gaps better and get a stronger glue... don't use the supermarket stuff, it's not as strong. You'll need a good bond if you're going to go 100mph...
    -Use some decent tire inserts. This will help keep the tires from deforming as much.
    -Get a ground transmitter. The old stick controllers just aren't as good for cars... (It is a matter of preference, but you don't see a lot of stick style transmitters these days for RC cars... by which I mean for the last 30 years or so. As someone who has been doing this long enough to have used both, and even made the transition from sticks to pistol, AND as someone also into RC planes, I would have to concede that pistol is better.)
    -I'm not sure what you have for a steering servo, but consider getting a quality steering servo if you don't have one. This will make a night and day difference. You want something with good speed and torque... It doesn't matter how well you drive, or how good your gyro is, if your steering servo can't react fast enough.

  • @julienboucaron9780
    @julienboucaron9780 Год назад

    Nice project, the car is very robust for something 3D Printed and it has interesting features in the design.
    Some suggestions:
    - During the acceleration, the car is pitching really hard on the rear and any bump/steering input is causing instability. Probably need slightly more damping on the suspension on the rear. Having more suspension travel on the front will help to keep control of the steering under very hard acceleration. The pitching movement can be improved a bit with an anti-squat geometry (ideally adjustable).
    - Geometry improvements for stability: adjustable/increased castor (more), adjustable toe on both front and rear
    - Increasing the wheel base can help with the stability, you can take advantage of this and also move the motor on the front of the rear-wheels.
