K'nex Drivetrain

I could improve a lot, like I'm trying to figure out how to make a clutch system, since it's a 2 speed manual. Also I need more parts but that's all for now. ChassisDude98 is the channel who created the V-8 engine, but I tweaked it a little bit. This drivetrain includes an engine, torque converter (doesn't make sense for a manual, I know),a 2 speed manual transmission, the driveshaft, and the differential. If you have any suggestions then leave it in the comments.

I loved the torque converter part of it. A very effective method used.
Also probably essential in this situation, as it offers some cushioning in the drive train.
Using a fixed clutch would almost certainly result in something breaking during power up, or shifting, or if something was resisting the rotation of both wheels.

Holy crap, this is so cool! Nice work dude

[@homieboi5352]

Rip whoever disliked this video. You are very alone.

[@octopus2327]

Homie Boi um can you help me find out more about knex i seen you on multiple knex vids

[@homieboi5352]

Random I am Sure thing. What is it you need help with?

[@octopus2327]

Like how to make pistons work more effectively and make better cylinder engine

[@deffman32tech]

nice, you should post a how to video on how to build the individual elements of this. very cool!

[@GMoney-B]

Nicely done!! This is really fantastic. Great job!

[@generalkenobi4509]

Love the differential design!

[@macallac4074]

I wants to play with it! This is badass! :D

[@willlapthorn7127]

That is really cool👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

[@mfbfreak]

There have been quite a few cars with manual gearbox *and* torque converter. That way a clutch is unneeded but you can still shift the gearbox directly.
The upside is that sitting in slow moving and halting traffic is more comfortable, and that people who have a bad left foot can drive the car. Furthermore you can make do with less gears. The downside is less efficiency and the rubbery feeling of a torque converter.

[@Illbebacc]

Wow thats so cool a little while ago when I was a kid I made spider gears so it's so cool to randomly find this video

[@abdullahatalan3064]

Loved it!!! You should share the plans.

[@gagepuffinbarger6939]

Abdullah Atalan thanks but there is no plans. I just wing it with these things. It’s hard to plan stuff out with knex

[@doctorspicer1042]

I am so amazed by this

[@royalnav06gaming85]

I like it

[@danielstark8258]

You should have built a clutch to change gears with

[@gagepuffinbarger6939]

daniel PC/ Xbox yup. I’m working on it 👍

[@FrankDaBank25]

I think daniel changed his name lol

[@spiffyvidz5898]

@@FrankDaBank25 people are still watching this? omg lmao. ive seen this a couple years ago

[@gijsjaradijsja]

well done!

[@azizsantosa9789]

Wow nice project i like it

[@Davidevgen]

thats impressive :P

[@plumbingstuffinoregon2471]

That is awesome!

[@InterDimensionalLizard]

Very cool stuff.

[@abir_96]

Super dude ❤️

[@FrankDaBank25]

That's amazing dude

[@the_gamingneko]

Would love to get your diferental design, could never get mine to work

[@gagepuffinbarger6939]

Steelheart117 I’ll post a vid within a few days

[@zeet1044]

wish i could make that

[@fortun8diamond]

Really nice.

[@anthonybush3134]

Can you do a video showing how to make the 2 speed gearbox

[@gagepuffinbarger6939]

I have a new version that I can work something out

[@benjaminphiliposian3141]

nice!

[@gagepuffinbarger6939]

Benjamin Philiposian stay tuned. Have something way cooler coming

[@mclar3n269]

Good

[@allanegleston4931]

wow.

[@SirFloofy001]

Cutious what ratios the gears are, is high gear 1:1? or OD?

[@gagepuffinbarger6939]

Low gear is 1:2 and high is 2:1. Yes I know it needs a 1:1 middle gear but I’m still working on it 👍

[@vickiesteinkamp1915]

joey Shaffer is my RUclips channel

[@gagepuffinbarger6939]

joey Shaffer very interesting

[@WazVlogz]

Eeee grinding my gears smh... Jk 😂 I like the model its very clever

[@gagepuffinbarger6939]

Oiseau Montez check out my new video. A fully functional car. Sort of

[@shorts6m]

Where are you from?

[@DevinSeeleyDevilO]

use a knex moter instead of a drill [i think]

[@gagepuffinbarger6939]

Devin Seeley using the drill gives higher speeds and the cordless drill has more torque. The knex motors weren’t built for speed or torque.

[@drip_man5817]

bro i tried to make somthing like this on a smaller scale and it didnt work

[@OneCorvette1]

Any chance you posted instructions on how to build this somewhere?

[@gagepuffinbarger6939]

No I did not. What I do is I basically start off with the basic mechanical work of the part and then build around it. Besides, I have new, smaller models now.

[@bunuelito7581]

imagine something getting stuck in one of the gears 💀

[@thejman63]

Could almost put that in a large scale car

[@shuruan3735]

Bro why does nursery rhymes in this video?

[@gagepuffinbarger6939]

My nephew was watching, figured there being a kid in the house would be the obvious conclusion

[@kitsurubami]

i think i had that same lame web development book. I just so happen to be a web developer as my occupation now, but has nothing to do with owning that book or taking classes on it. lol

[@gagepuffinbarger6939]

kitsurubami um ok? 😂 it was my sisters book

[@roberth7782]

where did you get the v8 engine

[@gagepuffinbarger6939]

Robert H I built it but the design came from the linked channel

[@roberth7782]

yeah found that out

[@suspense_comix3237]

Very cool!
