Just want to say a massive congratulations Kev 🦾 you deserved that 200mph cap with all that hard work getting cars prepared and the big effort of getting to the world best RC speed car event 😜 glad to be part of your journey Bro 😎 Of course another epic video 🤩🤩
I'm not into RC at all, but watched this because it popped up on my suggestions list. I love the camaraderie between the competitors and the way they all help each other. Great stuff.
The event looks like a tremendous amount of work and design, It's great to see people pitching to help each other. All the cars are fascinating. One of th most impressive was Steve's small car, which started life as a drone with beautiful 3D printed body and it ran 101mph.
WOW!!!! What an AWESOME event! CONGRATULATIONS on the 203!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! That's incredible!!!!!! everybody was just flat out fast!!!!! thanks for sharing it with us!!!
Honestly at those speeds the differentials need to have to be partially immersed in a gear type oil to prevent the gears from disintegrating from heat and friction. The grease on the gears presumably is flung off during high speed runs due to centrifugal forces. Going to a metal case from a plastic will give it stability initially, but eventually it would wear and cause lots of play in your differential, causing lots of gear deflection in the end destruction of the differential gears. It doesn’t seem to be too difficult to fabricate a sealed diff for it. How’s your welding skills?
yeah when I saw him lubing them up I thought, ok, where's the rest? I know it will provide resistance but there's zero lube on those gears at speed. Then you run it again, dry. Most "life size" vehicles setting records go for a pretty much complete rebuild after each run.
Have you ever considered trying to use vacuum underneath the car for downforce? The McMurtry Speirling, a real car, uses vacuums to suction the car to the road and that might be something you want to consider at super high speeds and turn it into an airplane again. I think that’s going to be the trick to future records.
the McMurty isn’t a high speed car it’s uses the vacuum for traction off the line. I bet the faster you get the less effective it is. it’s an aerodynamic problem.
You're both wrong. The McMurtry fans can be adjusted on the fly. 2 tons of downforce stood still. It is limited by the motors for top speed otherwise it would be the quickest and fastest production car in the world. The technology goes back to the 70's can am series. The car could easily do 200mph+ with full assisted downforce if they could build a gearbox strong enough.
Worth to explore but I'm not sure that's the way to go to break speed records. Just design the underside of the car so it creates downforce. Seems easier to me.
@@R6AAO, yep. The Chaparral 2J fan car. 1970. Banned because it was a couple of seconds quicker per lap than anything else in the series. The McMurtrie is currently limited by gearing. Their car which made the headlines was geared for the Goodwood FOS hill climb. They have another prototype which is geared for over 200mph. The main issue with using fan tech in a RC speed run car would likely be packaging.
I remember my Tamiya Grasshopper with a custom-wound 540D electric motor 35 years ago. It's absolutely mental to see these speeds and the technology that has evolved. Well done and huge props!
Yes man IS the hype man!! His energy and everything is so pure!! Man I wished y’all were my neighbors!! Moving closer to him was the BEST move you could make. Help that guy grow! RC on brother!!! To the moon!!!!
I don't know much about all the speedrunning and all, but you should look at adding canards to the front of your car. In the real world that would help with the flipping, but I have no clue if it would on an rc.
I knew it would take some doing to make it happen. If it was as easy as bolting on 100hp worth of motors, and sending it, everyone would have a world record. Good luck on getting it figured out!
Id say mint for the color of that car. This was an insane video seeing all this top speed passes. Seems like tires are the hardest thing stopping you from going faster.
I love it! This content give the fisrt half of XX c. vibe of the land-speed records - slap together what you think will work and shoot. When it goes wrong - reconsider, rebuild and try again. Lovely, just lovely.
For testing the wheel speed 17:50 you should add like a rolling surface underneath the wheel which simulates the road like a dyno but measuring speed through the rpm device instead of
Congratulations to everyone who took part in the event even if your car did 37 mph. Getting a record is one thing but it's the taking part and helping others that counts.
Yeah the only vihicle that can go 300mph is the buggati chiron super sport 300 + and the koenigsegg absolute And theres no rc car motor that can go 300mph
Use carbon wheels with rubber spray. It’s a almost like a tire and you could spray it on that and it wouldn’t be super thick and probably 90% confident that it would not come off.
I see a lot about the weight, tyres, power etc but never too much about the steering setup/ alignment, maybe this could be a place to gain some stability at the top end? ( Castor, camber, toe etc...)
Wow, witnessing the fastest RC car in the world is nothing short of thrilling! The speed and precision these miniature vehicles can achieve are truly mind-blowing. It's a testament to human ingenuity and engineering prowess. These RC cars aren't just toys; they're feats of technology and a testament to the passion and dedication of the hobbyist community. Whether it's tearing across a track or zooming through obstacles with lightning speed, watching these tiny machines in action is an adrenaline rush like no other. It's a reminder that innovation knows no bounds, even in the realm of remote-controlled vehicles.
Kind of glad you're not smashing your goals for each video, it shows a true engineering journey of design, engineer, test, iterate,etc.. really great series !!
Yeeeesss!!!!!!!! I’ve been waiting for this video! So cool , four motors! Hope you get the world record ( Current video time 0:58) I love speed record videos! Can’t wait to see the end of videos
I really think the only way tires are going to hold up at those speeds is if someone makes a wheel and tire like a car. Like with an aluminum wheel and then a rubber tire that mounts on that wheel exactly like a car tire and wheel are. That hold air pressure. One major problem with the wheels and tires they are using now is all of the support on the wheels is at one side of the wheel. The framework is all on one side. So that means the other side has to be deforming. And at those speeds if that tire is not perfectly touching the ground evenly from side to side it's going to explode the tire is spinning so fast that the one side of the wheel that does not have frame work is expanding greatly. Then you could have basically like indy tires or something.
You’re awesome Kevin even when times get a little rough you still keep an amazing attitude and continue to persevere onward!!! Truly love watching your channel!
Kevin have you ever considered using hockey pucks as wheels? They don't flex and are made of solid rubber so should be easy to carve out with your lathe worth a try.
Great fun! You, Sir, have introduced me to rc cars, thank you! I have been flying planes, jets, and heli's since the late 80s but never messed with rc surface vehicles. I guess it's better late than never! My 3 vehicles probably run 90 mph with my fastest snd 70 ish with my 2 trucks. Cheers, and thank you once again from a cousin across the pond 🙂
I went through loads of diffs in my rc car so i started sealing the diff half full of car engine oil. Never had a problem again. You just have to clean the housing and use gaskit sealer fill till at least the gears dip into the oil. Thanks..
Love these speed run vids. great in car footage from the sausage....& useful for diagnostics, you could see when the tyre started letting go.....need the speed to be shown in the video at the same time! Congrats to all on achieving your PB's & lots of new hats all round. Commiserations to those who have rebuild projects on their hands.
Hey Kev.. try 8115 panel bond ... this has glass beads a certain size to keep the right amount glue evenly throughout the mating surface. This panel bond can be used on anything rc related... after 24 hr cure this can be sanded and shaped to make a part the way you need too ...
You have not been waiting years he didn’t even do one last year. He built this in. I think just before 2024 bro come on. Are you new because I feel like that you are new and you’re saying something that is not really real
@@Nashdbdrift bruv the first vid of this can out 3 years ago when he first wanted to do this and reach over 200 so yea and I watched it when it came out as I’ve been subscribed for over 6 years now and met Kev so have it
@@Nashdbdrift brother come on leave them alone man let them be happy no need for salt it may of felt like years of waiting to them as for all you know they may have illnesses etc that makes time very important and not go by the same as it does for others myself included things like autism adhd etc time can be a big deal to people not a good look man no hate or anything just comes across like bullying mate n it's not good atal
I'm no aeronautics engineer but regarding the infamous wheel/tyre issue...Kev I would try using the largest diameter wheel and tyre combo possible. This will mean the wheels/tyres are doing lower RPM per MPH speed. This will reduce centrifugal forces and make tyre/wheel failure less likely! regarding the cars lifting off at high speed...I suggest you design or buy a front diffuser/wing ( or even front side mounted? ) to keep the nose planted to the tarmac at higher speeds? That long flat chassis is effectively acting like a wing and the slightest bump at the front of car will raise the front just enough to gain positive pitch and subsequent take-off/disaster! lol. I think the power situation is sorted, now you just need to make the car stay on the tarmac!
Like i said aluminium wheels specially made in size and width and with 3D milling you can make it just like a plastic one, and some kind of rubber like on dragsters or high speed cars on the salt lake city, maybee you can contact one of those people for info, plastic wheels don't work Kevin not for what you want to do
Also ,I just wanted to stick my two pennies worth in 😉. I was wondering if any of your viewers could maybe make you some solid , or semi solid wheels with their own 3D printer ?. Surely one of your viewers has a 3D printer and could design some wheels with reinforced plastic printed wheels ?. Who knows ?. It's not me though , good luck on your next runs. 250 MPH is on the cards 🙂
@@KevinTalbotTVsucks but what can you do unfortunately it is what it is regardless you hit 203MPH which is absolutely awesome to see. Once again congratulations 🎉 hopefully you hit that world record. Thanks for a long and entertaining video
gotta keep the traction material on them. Then you have the weight issue. You also have to remember: the "life size" high speed attempts aren't reaching the speeds these r/c cars are. They are doing 600 mph, but these r/c cars, in scale, are doing TWO THOUSAND miles per hour.
@@muskokamike127scale isn’t really relevant… especially smaller tires have it much easier on the same speed. also the land speed record cars use jet engines and have no traction issues
@@hardywoodaway9912 sorry, that's just wrong. Smaller tires/wheels spin faster therefore are subjected to higher centrifugal forces. a 2" wheel can spin at 12,000 rpm whereby a 3" wheel will spin at 8000 rpm to achieve the same ground speed.
@@hardywoodaway9912yeah, traction is definitely the issue on the aluminium wheels. As you say, speed fund for decades have not been driven by the wheels. You would need a good way to stick high quality rubber to aluminium discs.
@@muskokamike127. Very true. The smaller radius does lower the centrifugal force, but then it also increases it by the square of the RPM. So in your examples the 2” wheel has an RCF (relative centrifugal force) of 8178 whereas the 3” wheel has only 5452
I reckon that house you were staying in in Wales was on 1 of these Reno shows, the stone thing in the garden and the wind things look familiar. Awesome and worth waiting for video and now 1 for the longest jump with the snowboard sausage car or what ever it was, that thing over the grass hump jumped amazing
I would suggest finding someone who can machine you up a billet aluminum wheel that will hold up to those speeds. I’m not sure what to do about the rub or foam to make it hold up, but I think the wheel not growing out of shape would help the rubber or foam stay on.Just a suggestion.
300+ mph wheel idea: the wheel is a 3d printed titanium skeleton with a tire made by weaving rubber/elastomer-coated aramid fiber thru & around it. It will be a lot of work to make & balance, but it won't break if you join/bond the fibers well enough. Good luck, these speed runs are fun to see!
Well done on 200mph cap. Idea for the wheel and tyre issues, billet aluminium with tungsten micro spikes. Billet is light and incredibly strong, micro tungsten spikes on the surface give the required grip. Probably ridiculously expensive but would survive the high loadings. A larger diameter would also reduce the centrifugal forces.
Thanks to you I got inspired tonstart speedrunning! I am glad you got 203 mph, which btw would have been the world record by the time you started building your first speedrun car😁! What a nice event!!! Keep it up!
I'd add a little light oil in those diff housings kev, just enough to cover the teeth of the bottom of the crown wheel, it'll stop thermal expansion of the diff parts on those high speed runs which is whats probably causing enough meshing issues to the point they start grinding the gear teeth to bits.
Just want to say a massive congratulations Kev 🦾 you deserved that 200mph cap with all that hard work getting cars prepared and the big effort of getting to the world best RC speed car event 😜 glad to be part of your journey Bro 😎

The welds on his chassis brace actually looked fairly decent
Second that.
I'd be curious to know how hot those diffs get on each pass. Probably feel the heat at the axle cup with your finger.
Welding wise i believe he's very good at it
@@TheNamesArif I say that would be I great skill. But apropos. Can he weld two soda cans together? It’s much more complicated than most would attempt.
Props to Kevin for all the BOOM! work in the videos. Massive amounts of work to entertain us.
I really think your issue with the diffs is a lack of backlash. You need that extra space for when the gears get hot and expand
Where's Noah's mum
Exactly what I was thinking.

@@hardywoodaway9912yeah, traction is definitely the issue on the aluminium wheels. As you say, speed fund for decades have not been driven by the wheels. You would need a good way to stick high quality rubber to aluminium discs.
@@muskokamike127. Very true. The smaller radius does lower the centrifugal force, but then it also increases it by the square of the RPM. So in your examples the 2” wheel has an RCF (relative centrifugal force) of 8178 whereas the 3” wheel has only 5452
Well done Kev!.. That’s no small achievement 👏🏻👏🏻

boom!
You have worked so hard and you deserve that world record 😊
The mgm esc really only work with the lmt motors. Also Need mini Bugatti veyron tires, maybe some belted tires
Congratulations my man well done good sir hell of a job !
08:45 a REAL MAN!
Great video I enjoyed it. Nice to see the modern RC world are used to race some years ago.
You boys need a parachute to deploy when your car goes sky born
I reckon that house you were staying in in Wales was on 1 of these Reno shows, the stone thing in the garden and the wind things look familiar. Awesome and worth waiting for video and now 1 for the longest jump with the snowboard sausage car or what ever it was, that thing over the grass hump jumped amazing
I would suggest finding someone who can machine you up a billet aluminum wheel that will hold up to those speeds. I’m not sure what to do about the rub or foam to make it hold up, but I think the wheel not growing out of shape would help the rubber or foam stay on.Just a suggestion.
Been waiting on this video for awhile since your last speed runs 😮hopefully youll get what you want to get💯💯💯🇺🇲
Looks like a lot of fun. I'm surprised no one has made machined aluminum wheels for these. They would be dead straight and very strong.
What an awesome event and an awesome bunch of chaps, and well done Kev on getting your 200mph cap!
Massive congrats to all of you guys!! Great entertainment. Just a crazy thought, do you think you could machine hockey pucks to use as your tires?
300+ mph wheel idea: the wheel is a 3d printed titanium skeleton with a tire made by weaving rubber/elastomer-coated aramid fiber thru & around it. It will be a lot of work to make & balance, but it won't break if you join/bond the fibers well enough. Good luck, these speed runs are fun to see!
This video says alot about the SCORCH brand. Well done sir
I love it!!! That looks like a lot of fun.
Finger flick for the 175! Makes it official. nice work brother.
Actually?!?!!! Whooohoo!!! Super excited for you KEVIN! 🎉🎉
You and Rob are an awesome combo!
Well done Kevin Talbot, I think your channel is amazing 🎉 - Jack aged 7
Well done on 200mph cap. Idea for the wheel and tyre issues, billet aluminium with tungsten micro spikes.
Billet is light and incredibly strong, micro tungsten spikes on the surface give the required grip. Probably ridiculously expensive but would survive the high loadings. A larger diameter would also reduce the centrifugal forces.
Welldone from uk mate not everyone is super smart so i appreciate you pointing out the channels that confused me
Thanks to you I got inspired tonstart speedrunning! I am glad you got 203 mph, which btw would have been the world record by the time you started building your first speedrun car😁!
What a nice event!!!
Keep it up!
I'd add a little light oil in those diff housings kev, just enough to cover the teeth of the bottom of the crown wheel, it'll stop thermal expansion of the diff parts on those high speed runs which is whats probably causing enough meshing issues to the point they start grinding the gear teeth to bits.
