I just built a continuous rotation servo for the first time in ages, and here you are doing the same thing. However I never thought of gluing the gears together to change the ratio and get more speed out of the gearbox! Great video, don't listen to the complainers who think it's "too hard", lol. I used to make similar cars from crashed servos too, we didn't throw things out when I was a kid if they still worked. This is a classic project, cheap fun!
For your ad... I am about to buy a home, and I work for a major insurance company. They are sketchy... I know for a fact. I will totally be accessing this company to hopefully help me keep rates and premiums low. Thanks Flitetest... You all are on point at all times!
I used a servo in exactly the same manner to control a model loco. I was surprised how the little tiny servo chip powered the much larger motor in the loco with out any problems. It was lovely and smooth and because I had a battery inside the loco there was never any need to clean the tracks.. Great channel FDO
Do the same speed and rotation mod to TWO servos, instead of one (or if you are really adventurous, two PAIRS) Get the cheapest "instant V-Tail" mixer you can find. Mine was under $2 use one servo for each "front" wheel (with no steering linkages) and a 'tail wheel' for the back wheel. A spoon works well, too! Or, if you do two pairs, just arrange them on both sides like a skid-steer tractor, or make tank treads! plug both cables of the v-tail mixer into the RC reciever. plug both servos into the v-tail mixer. You may have to swap wires around on both the rX or the mixer, but you can now have throttle on the throttle stick or trigger of your transmitter, and tank-style steering on the other stick (or same stick if you prefer?), or the steering wheel of your transmitter WITHOUT having to mix anything IN the transmitter. a simple rc car Tx/Rx will work as long as you can plug in servos.
i have done this but instead of putting the resisters on i would center the potentiometer glue it in place. cut the little stopper on the gears and plug it into the receiver with a steering servo and a 4 pack of AA. didn't need the ESC because the servo has one. learned to make sail boat winches back in the AM transmitter days.
I actually like the technical aspect of this project! I don't know if I'll be able to because my soldering iron is gigantic but its worth a try. Plus there is always amazon for actual continuous rotation servos
They have a channel that does cars, Drive On. :D They beat up a Traxxxas there at one point. I am surprised this isnt on that channel but I think it was abandoned sadly.
That REALLY looked like FUN!! 😁 One issue - some pertinent portions of the Build were fast forwarded SO FAST, I didn't stand a chance to see what Andres was actually DOING! 😞😖 Maybe I just got too old, and everyone wants these on-off, hyper time lapse Videos now. But it did look like a cool, cheap way to have some fun with the Grandkids. 👌 Carmine ✈🚂🚙
You should try to fly half a plane so like only the right side of a plane but to balance it out put something small and dens that weighs the same as half of the fuselage and go from there
Speaking as a person who wants to do your Corsair kit I have no idea on how to do the remote coding and whatnot. Can you do a instructional video on that? Please.
This was awesome! I was looking for a good diy fpv micro racer! I think these will be much more approachable than the mini hovercraft for new drivers. Although that might be a fun race off mini fpv hovercraft vs mini fpv car!
Hey, guys...Have you ever built a C-47 Dakota? It's just the military version of the DC-3. I would love to see you guys do it...And paint it up like a D-Day invasion plane.
Looks like to get the competitive edge Josh is gonna need some new wheels, tires and suspension. How much is spending too much on a foam board car? Lol
This is so great... i will make one by sure..... but if you align the two wheel wires, the ones that you bend 90 degrees back, toward the center of the rear wheel you will have a real stering linkage with ackerman angles en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ackermann_steering_geometry thanks for sharing...!!!
It's funny how many (few) people know this... I had an argument with student of the highest technical school in Switzerland. They did a whole suspension for a kart but had it at 90°
This isn't the cheapest and easiest rc car, its meant to be something made with stuff thats lying around. Servos are pretty common especially if you follow flite test.
Waiting for it here... but why is the pot being replaced with resistors in the servo? Should be explained before just doing it. [edit]... oh... to turn a servo into the drive motor with no speed controller required.
Cool project..... not your best tutorial though(usually very easy to follow even for the uninitiated) kind of blazed through a bunch of the points and not much detail.... Did not show putting the potentiometer back in at all.....
why not? what is so difficult about it? if you're into these things you probably already have a soldering iron which here is really easy to use. resistors might be an issue if you don't have some laying around other than that, this is easy af
To advanced? Yeah to make the servo spin it is. There is a much easier way to do it. I did it a easier and different way. I didn’t even use resistors even though I have plenty
Hello Flite Test. A few months ago there was a $40 3 channel EZ power pack( the one with the small servo) and a $35 2 channel EZ pack, but only the 2 channel version is on the STEM store. I would like to inquire what happened to the 3 channel pack. Because I would certainly like to buy a few of them for designing my own planes! but most of all seeing how young aspiring engineers create their own designs will be the best thing that I could imagine!! Thank you very much from Jacquen Franck
You guys should make some robots that you can do like a robot wars thing with. Break each other's robots because you guys would have a lot of fun with that
*Dear FlightTest* ~ can i ask you about something please? How can you use drone gimble parts to make a vertical axis gimble for a Osmo pocket (which has pitch and roll but not yaw) so that the camera stays stationary in space? Ive had a go at making a spring version, but wondered if drone parts could be used. Any help would be greatly appreciated, all the best

Put rubber bands on the wheels ... extra grip so you’ll ride down the slides instead of slipping down them 👍
The Smeared Hot Glue on them.
@@ravenlorans Rubber still has more grip than cold hot glue
Rubber wrist bands would probably work good to

@Abdurrehman Khan yeah if you want to drift.
Servos make great transmissions for micro crawlers as well.

Do you have a link which shows it done a bit more clearly?

Nice!
The servo -> motor transition is explained very detailed and very well.
Thanks a lot for sharing!
try to make a drift run because you can "burn foam" with the rear-wheel drive

I love Josh's king of random shirt!
this would be good for a school class
But too expensive with fpv
@@ELValenin thats quite true
Y’all have to try Traxxas rc cars! They are amazing, also for a video y’all should get a rc plane and land it on a Traxxas slash while moving!
They have a channel that does cars, Drive On. :D They beat up a Traxxxas there at one point. I am surprised this isnt on that channel but I think it was abandoned sadly.
Yea I think I seen that Robin Kester
Good I know you're a pro in DIY, you can make big wheels to play outside the house
Emax interceptor on a budget, I love it! I might do this
Putting rubber bands on the wheels gives them a little traction
Is there a template available for the body anywhere?
You should build a SR 71 blackbird

Use some thick rubber bands for tires, for better traction.
Can you guys make more drone + fpv videos
I am definitely making one of these so I can FPV around the house 👍👍👍👍👍👍😀
You should try to fly half a plane so like only the right side of a plane but to balance it out put something small and dens that weighs the same as half of the fuselage and go from there
great video!
This is dope af. Is there any reason you can’t just pay the little bit extra for a motor and esc though?
Or use stuff from a Unfixable Crashed Toy/Car/Plane/Heli....
And to wanted your question about the kite you made
This is super cool. Yeah, kinda hard for me average Joe, but very inspiring.
you are brilliant
Love you guys
Looks like fun
This is all pretty advanced stuff and requires a lot of specialized tools.
Speaking as a person who wants to do your Corsair kit I have no idea on how to do the remote coding and whatnot. Can you do a instructional video on that? Please.
What wattage do the resistors need to be?
One idea is to leave the Potentiometer in. Just leave the wiper in the middle and make sure its not coupled to the servo shaft.
This was awesome! I was looking for a good diy fpv micro racer! I think these will be much more approachable than the mini hovercraft for new drivers. Although that might be a fun race off mini fpv hovercraft vs mini fpv car!
Still want to see you make a A-10 large enough for that air soft minigun
We did. Look up A10 vs tank episode.
I really enjoyed watching something I will never make
its so creative
Might be easier to use either 0805 or 1206 SMD parts for this
Hey, guys...Have you ever built a C-47 Dakota? It's just the military version of the DC-3. I would love to see you guys do it...And paint it up like a D-Day invasion plane.
Couldn't you also use continuous rotation servos without having to disassemble the servo?
What is the esc you are using
Looks cool!
this is was very cool thanks
This is awesome! Hey have yall seen Balsa on Steam yet? I'd love to watch y'all play it! It came out this summer.
you guys need a camera with a macro lens to show all that small stuff
try making a Antonov An-225 Mriya
Just a note you guys should put hot glue on the wheels and smothen them out with popsicle sticks
Awesome 🤩👌
You started recording again!!
Is there a tutorial for the chassis and other parts
i just made a crazy tiny rc car course and put a video out not even a few days ago lol
Looks like to get the competitive edge Josh is gonna need some new wheels, tires and suspension. How much is spending too much on a foam board car? Lol
Hey, Josh . . . leave the racing to the youngsters. :)
The stabilizer behind you, is it an Pietenpol?
Sure is. :)
Wait, why does the pot go back in the servo if it was desoldered and replaced with resistors anyways? Did I miss something?
the POT is the hub for the second gear, the drive gear.
This is so great... i will make one by sure..... but if you align the two wheel wires, the ones that you bend 90 degrees back, toward the center of the rear wheel you will have a real stering linkage with ackerman angles en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ackermann_steering_geometry thanks for sharing...!!!

Way too complicated, you can achieve same thing with a cheap DC esc and a cheapo dc yellow reductor.
That's exactly my opinion as well. 😊
This isn't the cheapest and easiest rc car, its meant to be something made with stuff thats lying around. Servos are pretty common especially if you follow flite test.
Hi, I like your videos I am 11 years and I want to learn to make these planes so do you have online class so that I can learn. I stay in India
I use a cheap Powerbank to Power it 😉
I want to see one that use power pack h and differential thrust
Hey when do we get a video of the freedom fox 🦊?
hahaha...it's really fun
Waiting for it here... but why is the pot being replaced with resistors in the servo? Should be explained before just doing it. [edit]... oh... to turn a servo into the drive motor with no speed controller required.

Can you post again in drive on please?
yes! awesome
funky
What happened to drive on ?
We waited 2 weeks for this 🤔
Is it de sodder or de solder ? I though it spelt "de solder "
And can you do RC dogfights plz
Mabye next time make a v22 osprey
He had a king of random shirt
Stefan could try rapping ;D
Simple is a relative term I guess
I want to buy that car
17:46 what was that :D
Replacing the driver servo with a motor works too i think...
5 minutes. Not bad.
The red ones go faster
I can't do this, I don't have a SODDERING IRON.
I do have a SOLDERING IRON though.
It's only in English that the "L" is pronounced.
@@l8ur1e
Does this mean that the Flite Test folks don't speak English?
😎 Cool
Make a kit
Drive test
Hi
Turn a Quad into one of these¡. AWD and insanely fast. LOL! Nice work!!!!
It would be insanely fast with brushless motors
It would pretty much drift on foam board tires lol
@@redneck2994 not a bad idea... :D
The average person would never be able to do this project.
kidding me?...this is an easy and awesome DIY
@@inemm not special at all...why do you sound so angry? This is an awesome project!

Basic DIY project as far as i am concerned, Soldering is intimidating at first but a little practice, and its a breeze.
“i made these when i was younger” WHAT HOW
Here’s a neat little simple project.
Proceeds to perform something very complicated.
He made rc planes when he was younger? And used old parts?
Wyatt Camacho and he managed to do all that wiring when he was a kid
@@LukeLuk-e yeah, so? i knew how to do basic circuits like the one in the video when i was like 8.
