The full size counterpart has teflon strips on the leading edge of the rotors to seal them against the case. Given your abilities and tools you maybe able to make something similar that would help with the rotor clash.
Give this man a gold medal 10 stars or whatever for being the first person to put one of these toy V8 motors in an RC car and put it on UTube you're the first I've seen I wonder when someone was gonna do it.
I would have looked at gearbox from an HPi savage. The gears are metal from the factory, it has a 3 speed upgrade option and it’s already designed to be mounted between frame rails. I would have kept the slipper clutch, it takes the shock out of the gears on the upshift since there is no other place to allow slippage to soften the shock load.
That supercharger's tiny intake and exhaust ports are going to choke it. I guess the engine's tiny intake ports are also too small too. Maybe some CNC porting now that you have a broken engine to experiment with?
You know whatd be cool? You make an old realistic model of like a 1970s charger or older muscle car and put that in there to make it a functioning model. Another thing is woth the rotary engines you should make a 13 rotor like the one made irl. Thatd be fukin awesome, id pay big money to see a minature 12 rotor😂
Very cool retrofit for the super-charger. Seems like you have a pretty good ratio on the drive.. very snappy! Just the fact that you now drive it off the back of the crank will most likely make it more reliable. Well done Johnny!😉👍👍
You so need to take it out to a parking lot for a quick rip! I love this project, and your machine skills are impressive, I hope that the blower doesn't shred itself and even worse your new motor to bits, keep it up brother all love!
There are some brake kits for 1/5 scale you could probably get ideas from. I ran hydraulic brakes on my mechatech but they also have cable actuated sets.
Omg,with that supercharger on there,that thing is wicked quick! But you’re right, heard those rotors clanging against each other at speed and the rear tire closest to the camera isn’t balanced at ALL,the other one doesn’t seem that bad however! I LOVE watching this build Man! Well done so far!❤
Ever think about building a turbocharger? They make mini turbocharger keychains that are actually functional and rated for heat/flow. It's got a turbine housing, connected turbine and compressor wheels and everything. I think it'd be awesome.
Second this... Maybe not the keychain one unless they're already balanced and capable of tens of thousands of RPM. Might be quicker to find something else or start from scratch (which would be extremely involved and likely too difficult). All in all I'd love to see a miniature turbo V8 or even less cylinders in an RC car 😀
I need to research this, as it wouldn't surprise me if something already exists. I haven't been into RC cars since the 90s and therefore have limited knowledge of the past 25yrs progress.
When you decide to use the reverse feature built in I highly advise you make very certain the car is at a full stop and at idle. I have trashed many reverse gears in my revo that I converted it to forward only with a center diff and then brushless. Also I eliminated first gear.
I also did this. The unplanned 1st gear delete mod is only good for powerglide skids in Aus burnout cars. 130+mph wheel speeds, with blown, methanol sucking 600-1200+HP, 1k+ torque V8s that skip first gear no worries are way off topic. Bed time 😅
Quick question, I've seen the work you've done which is amazing just wondering why the gearing/sprockets stays plastic rather than machining some aluminum
Have you ever considered building a Dyno for testing your amazing engine work and performance upgrades? I’m sure it can be done in scale from 1:1 versions?
A way to measure the output power with and without the supercharger could be interesting, maybe you could hook a motor and a variable load to do some basic testing. Nice work with the machining of the parts!
@@johnnyq90 i was wondering how it was possible to even run it i thought it would self destruct pretty fast.. i didnt see any gears. i gues i didnt pay good attention. very entertaining to watch btw. try increasing that compression would help alot indeed.
A while back, I had a 1/5 scale FG clone I wish I could have done all of this to. If there is a way to cycle oil through the system to keep that supercharger from eating itself, that thing is going to be a beast. Looking forward to seeing the progress
Do wonder how the gear box will hold up overtime primarily being plastic, although i work with machines that use nylon plastic gears that will probably outlive me spinning extremely fast 5 days a week
Love that it started to make a real blower sound. Would greatly improve performance with modern style Hihelix rotors whether they be interference or not. And making sure if they do you have a decent coating of fuel along the whole rotor. Same as what we do full scale on our 6 and 871 blown race boats haha
I've never seen an R/C actually run with one of these engines fitted. It's usually hours of it starting for 2 seconds and dying followed by messing with carb settings in futility till they give up.
You added Hellcat Red-eye Whine to it xD I am also worried about the rotor slap in the supercharger, even if they bed into each other all that metal is going straight into your combustion chambers and probably hurting the pistons a bit :\
Been watching since the micro turbine days, everytime I see a new vid in my feed I instantly click and watch. Keep up the great work! Would love to see a lathe tour at some point as I have been considering getting one
So theoretically, If you new the weight of that roller and could plot the speed of the wheel from that reflectove tab. You could calculate the HP output right?
I'm not entirely sure the added power and throttle response was caused by any sort of boost. It may of been because surface tension causing fuel to stick to the rotors until its reached high enough rpm to sling the fuel off causing it to burn giving more power. Awesome video and I love all your stuff.
I can't wait for the next episode DSG GEARBOX AND NOS 👀👀👀
Scale RC DSG Farts inbound
exept NOS wont work on nitromethane rc cars ^^

@@ParRagon-this is 4 stroke and it will work. In a 2 stroke application the nitrous would pass right through both ports not so with valves.
@@ThomasNygard-my9jt Yep
Yet more proof that no matter what size it is, a V8 with a supercharger will always sound awesome.
.....but never as good as a turbocharged V12
@@toolbaggers I mean, V12s in general just sound heavenly by nature, so there really isn't much competition there.
It fixes everything.
@@toolbaggers turbos muffle the good engine sounds
this super charger is so loud you can't really hear the engine anymore, kind of sadge
The full size counterpart has teflon strips on the leading edge of the rotors to seal them against the case. Given your abilities and tools you maybe able to make something similar that would help with the rotor clash.
Exactly what I was thinking
not all do. its a option to have teflon on the rotors
The rotor slap needs to be addressed via fixing the slop in the blower’s gearset or changing some clearences. Teflon strips will only help performance
@@bigiron4018 I never considered that. I've never seen a blower with enough play in the gear set to cause it.
Absolutely incredible mini super charged v8 😂❤vnit
I really enjoy watching the problem-solving and quality engineering on this project. Great work!

Yeah, and as long as it's related to the subject and relevant to the video, I guess it's all right

Your machining skills are impeccable sir
Have you ever considered selling these?
its gonna be like 20k minimum, the engine alone is like $5000
its ridiculous
@@PneumaticFrog The engine is at most 1500
I suspect he would onyl be able to do small comissions, he currently can't scale up and mass produce these things
Engine can be purchased online. Discounted price, shipped is around $1,200. Custom design and machine work PRICELESS!
For 10k of sure or not?😂😂
I hate commercials but this one about JLC3DP was spot on...
That compressor sure sounds awesome!
18:14 - you only need brakes if you plan on slowing down. Never plan on slowing down. It's my motto...
That supercharger's tiny intake and exhaust ports are going to choke it.
I guess the engine's tiny intake ports are also too small too.

Somebody: How many holes you need in base?
JohnnyQ90: All😂😂

@@CenReaper.No, i think he miss typed. It's still a 12 rotor. Lol
All he needs to do is add a body to accomplish what you’re asking (not rotary) what he’s done already is hard part

With the amount of custom work you already have to do, you might as well use their engine as a template and make one yourself but better lol.
Right!!! I agree!!!
I'm seeing Toyan everywhere and they're freakin fascinating.
"The V8 RC car gets a Powerglide conversion"
Fixed your title.
Lol!
Good stuff! You should try a boost gauge on it, just to see what it's doing.
You'd have to have a very sensitive gauge for the tiny amount that would be putting out
Amazing work! Some Teflon strips on the rotor lobes might be in order.
The supercharger sounds EXTREMELY nice.
Love every video as I live vicariously through your skills!
Same I'm too busy to do any of this
sounds awsome Johnny .. maybe spiral shaped rotors for the super charger?
I wish i had a machinist shop like you man i could do so much more things with my rc car
😍😍👋👋Thank you for including JLC3DP 3D Printing to the project! Really nice work!
But the add has some sound issues. I guess this is not what you expected
@@florianj6490 you are right
there's more passion for engineering here than there is enjoyment for the hobby. i can completely understand and respect it 👌
My day is complete
There is nothing you couldn't build. Mad respect
I’m loving your videos on these v8’s in RC’s.
I think Robinson makes all metal gears for that TMaxx transmission, or use a summit trans , has hi and low and is built alot tougher

This channel just keeps getting better and better. Unbelievable craftsmanship!
"making a crankshaft pulley".... this is when I finally decided this guy has a lot of free time
That is the coolest thing i have ever seen, i was in disbelief when i saw this first hand.
The supercharger whine seems louder than the engine lol! I love it!
Yikes, I have trouble keeping my 1/10 scale HPI Corvette running, you are my hero! 😊
I want to see a racing series with the Toyan V8s, it would be spectacular to see the smallest of small blocks on the race tracks of 🇬🇧.
Jonny Q90, the man with the solution for all problems :D
If you don't put a mad max themed body on this masterpiece I'll riot
Hahaha hell ya
Only problem is the motor is turned backwards.
I was like "No way it's going to whine" It whines, and sounds awesome! Nice job!
I need someone with this skill to build a new differential for my Tamiya TRF414M2. I have been looking for years and I can't find one.

A turbo that small might have to spin at a million rpm.
A 2 liter engine already has 100k rpm turbo.

What's your background? The way you engineer and machine parts, especially on that scale is absolute magic!
I'm watching from Japan!
Quick question, I've seen the work you've done which is amazing just wondering why the gearing/sprockets stays plastic rather than machining some aluminum
When working to trim plastic, skip the barrel sander and get a carbide end. Creates smooth cut and not a melted headache.
Thanks for sharing this looked like a lot of work
Are you a machinist? I just love watching your video. Amazing what you can do.
So professional and amazing to watch 💪
Have you ever considered building a Dyno for testing your amazing engine work and performance upgrades? I’m sure it can be done in scale from 1:1 versions?
waiting for the day we'll see him building a RC car with a PDK gearbox
Ooh , that would be sick
headers straight out next time, open a door for venting and mash that gas, let her sing bro!
You should do a Q&A sometime. I would be interesting to see how you got into this. Was this a profession that turned into a hobby? etc. Great videos!
Revo is a great transmission.. won't survive your v 8 torque unless you leave some slipnin the clutch. Good luck keeping that consistent.
Can you remake the whole gearbox into metal? :)
I'm thinking of doing it, not just to strengthen it, but also make the gearing a little longer.
@@johnnyq90 do it :) please :)
Wow, this is super cool I really enjoy this kind of contest. Thank you.
Soooo when are you making your own supercharger?? You’ve definitely got the skills to do it. A twin screw will make a sick build
Sounds wicked with the blower! Just awesome content as always.
So impressed bro...not that it means anything to you, but amazing work everytime....I 9nly hope I can someday catch up to your machining skills
A way to measure the output power with and without the supercharger could be interesting, maybe you could hook a motor and a variable load to do some basic testing. Nice work with the machining of the parts!
That's the future of V8. Thanks EU for caring
maybe you should make the rotors geared to each other to prevent them touching.
They are geared. There is no way they would work otherwise 😅

Such a small engine with the sweet whine of a compressor where the noise matches absolutly to the size it has. Great 😁
Quality as always Johnny.
All this precision work, bro make it look easy ...🙌
LOVE your videos.. I even watched the advertisements in it.
Now you can recreate the Mad Max Interceptor!!! Great work
The “blower” was spinning the right direction. The way you mounted it is backwards
I have to say I thought that was gonna be a low gear ratio but seeing how fast it takes off i cant imagine a 3.00:1 ratio
I'm passionate about that competition whistling V8 engine 😂😂😂 very detailed 👍
A while back, I had a 1/5 scale FG clone I wish I could have done all of this to. If there is a way to cycle oil through the system to keep that supercharger from eating itself, that thing is going to be a beast. Looking forward to seeing the progress
Awesome handiwork my friend- Very competent, One question, what wheels & tyres you using pls
As if this isn’t the coolest freaking thing in the history of the internet!😍
i think your blower ports are grossly undersized in comparison to the rotor size.
This is literal art. ❤

This is amazing! My only youtube-esk comment is can it idle lower for the "CAM" sound?
@johnnyQ90
Awesome project and that supercharger sounds awesome
I'd like to know what thermal camera you use 😬
traxxas revo transmission is pretty fragile when going to forward to reverse and abusive driving
As long as I do it gently, it should hold up for a couple of videos 😂
@@johnnyq90 broke my revos transmission like 5 times

I'd love to see some helical rotors on the blower, maybe that'd fix the issue, The bearing tolerances also seem pretty loose.

Ah going down the same rought i did!. Great transmission. Using the same on my Howin L4 172 build.
Question about the supercharger: Would a dog gear for reversing the spin work as well?
At 3:07 you can also set the endpoints for the servo on the transmitter, to stop the servo arm bending the material
