15kW Electric Snow Racer Made With 3D Printed Parts
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 27 сен 2024
- Today I am building an electric snow racer using 3D printed parts. There are 240 screws in the back wheel to get traction on the ice. The wheel is powered by a 15000 watt brushless motor and a 300A electric speed controller.

This is so cool. It would be great to see it on a large lake or something so you can get full speed. I just wonder whether it would be better to have a blade for steering? Also maybe the wheel should be mid-mounted and steering at the rear? That way you would wouldn’t need additional weight so it should be faster and more agile
and he needs to make a chain guard out of metal for safety also he could use a seat thats the same style as a snow mobile for protection and better weight distribution so the power goes straight to the ground and a ice blade in the front for steering
Yeah, putting blades under all all 3 skids like on ice-yachts would do wonders for both speed and handeling.
The blades from old ice skates could work, way less friction than the plastic.
And a steel sheet behind the seat, if any metal part comes loose it'll shred that thin piece of acrylic to bits.
The traction problem could be solved by stronger springs, the shocks are not desirable because they dampen the motion of the drive wheel.
A blade for a steering mechanism sounds to me like an imminent trip to the hospital. Although the whole project is of that nature I suppose.
@@sebastianolsson9063 thats how snowmobiles do it
That feeling when you've been struggling on a build, all your ideas aren't working, you can't diagnose the problem and you're in a pit of despair.... then a brief moment of brilliance followed by exhilaration of it finally working.
Nothing like it, and it was obvious on this build. Good stuff!
The exhilaration is mixed with resentment of all the time that could have been saved. I know it well! These things are just part of the path, however, and can't be avoided.
Except it doesn't work and I know he can do better than this video. Take the time you need op and do some iterations on this.
yas same, im indie game dev, sometimes after 3 or so days struggling, just while laying in my bed, solution becomes so clear to me, just poof amd 10 min of work
and its usually a good nights sleep away.
3:48 - 25mm axel is not as much overkill as having bearings in the wheel and on the mounts also! 🤯😜😁
.. And having the chain tensioned between a stationary frame and hinged arm is not the best idea… good thing the shocks are super stiff or else he would have an epic backslap from the chain flying off.. 🤯😅
Man, I love your content! I wish you could put out more of it, but I understand how time consuming these projects can be. Super innovative and original ideas. Keep it up!!
A few suggestions to improve things:
1) Put the motor on the swing arm.
2) Remount the shocks so the wheel holds up most of the sled. This way, it’ll dig in better and you won’t need to use weights.
3) But blades on, at least, the steering ski so you actually can turn.
To fix the grip, really all you needed to do was mount the shocks so that they would have some preload once you sit on it. So, when holding everything in the air, the wheel would be too far down, if that makes sense. That way the shocks are always actively pushing your wheel into the ice.
Exactly
The chain tension while the motor is running would also pull it towards the motor (up). Maybe mount the motor lower, too.
@@goatboy150 belts exist
@@kirill2525 Belts are a myth.
And I fail to see how that's relevant.
@@goatboy150 lots of people use them instead of chains. and they strech so thats how its relevent.
Simon, your videos are EPIC. Can't wait for your next video drop.
8:00 gotta love that feeling. Normally celebrated completely alone at around 3am.
It's like a mini bike on ice. I think that if you move your seat over that rear wheel you won't need the extra weights. Thanks for sharing. This is awesome.
Then the Chain of Death is under his Balls.. Do you think this is a good Idea for his Family planing in the future? :) *joking*
You can understand why they use a belt in snow machines. Plus if you attached sharp edge steel to the ski for steering.
I look forward to seeing a update on this fun ice racer. Cheers from the icy north.
This is awesome! 👏😎
Oh you are here 😎
@@awaisjatt1499 yup 😉
Individually insulated multi-stranded copper wires?! I think anyone would have made the same mistake. Glad that you figured it out!
Fun project. The force from the chain will collapse your joint and therefore shortening the chainstay(giving more chain play) and lifting the wheel when accelerating. Pivot should be slightly above motor to add traction when accelerating. Or mounted on the same rail as motor :) thanks for the entertaining video.
Love how when you got to cutting metal, you went all this old tony on the chop!
I know it would be a little more complex but did you ever consider a tracked design? Oh and a hex head screw would work better... speaking from a Canadian perspective who knows many winter runners.
Love to see him making improvement in shooting skills
You just created the newest Olympics sport race, RC Drag Racing! Experimenting can be fun, great fun just watching your build.
NO WAY! thats the motor i send you??? 😍🥰
Where did you get the motor from?
@@callumhughes6044 i am living in china and bought them from a factory here i know.
and because i gave up on all my crazy projects i packed the stuff and send it to simon a while ago. told him he can do whatever he want with them. glad to see something epic!
"Pls leave a like, It tends to make the video more popular" Nice, convinced me, also the way you're not overselling it!
"But they look good for the thumbnail" is the best reason to add stuff.
Loving those new camera angles! Stay building!
I would suggest more preload for the wheel and add blade for your front ski. I'm glad someone is making my childhood dream come to life :D
this thing is CRAZY! BUT STILL LOOKS LIKE SO MUCH FUN!
put those beefy shock absorbers to use brother. mount the drive wheel in the full extension and let your weight on the frame transfer through the shocks into the wheel.
The map in the background is awesome!
I'm surprised they would let you run this on their ice. It just chewed the crap out of it. Great video.
It's crazy how you 3D printed all those metal parts.
That's a pretty sick ice dragster!
I want to see this on the lake next winter.
You should add some blades, like ice skate blades, to the front ski. That way you should be able to turn a lot easier. Great build!
That's a really cool idea! You might be able to address your traction issues by setting up a tension system based on the weight on the seat instead of fixed weights.
I love how you call it "chain of death" and then do not hesitate to put your private parts right above it during first ice test :) That's dedication!
0:45 Those are called 'pillow blocks'. No idea why. Cool build!
I have a 12 inch studded lawnmower tire i was thinking about adding to a tiny snowmobile sled. It looks like a ton of fun.
When that thing finally grips it looks line it really goes
You really been in your bag these last couple video series!
You’re inventing whole new vehicles, which astounds me. Vehicles with no steering or brakes are - one way to go...! ;- )
please bring this to lake hopatcong in NJ next January to showcase this project, its the largest manmade lake in our state with so much riding space for you to complete all your tests. our crazy locals often drive trucks on the surface of the ice showing how thick it gets in deep winter.
Thanks for telling us about the problem with the insulated wire. I would not have thought that could be the reason and would have made the same mistake. That is the most frustrating problem you can't even blame on yourself or someone else. Respect that you found it. It reminded me of an ESP project I once did and my GND was actually an NC pin, and I really didn't understand, why my project, which worked on a breadboard, stopped working.
take it to the lake!!!! top speed run would be awesome
4:01 smoothest sponsor transition ever
Wow! an invention that didn't break in use, grats
I'm happy that you are working Metric System so that I can understand what you are saying in the video
Holy crap i tried to make one of these as a kid out of an electric scooter and one of those sleds this is a childhood dream come true
Thank you! It is definiately inspiring me to make an all terrain electric wheelchair for my mother...
Get the Ryobi skill saw and either put a metal blade (toothed) in it or just use a wood blade on the aluminum. Use a square and let it cut
You are so young and so talented to invent smth that nobody would think about :)
"... but they look good for the thumbnail" I love it :D
OMG, I dreamed of having my GT Snowracer powered like that in the '80s!!!
This is freaking awesome! You inspired me to start making RUclips videos on my RC cars!
Love that you share your trials AND errors - always a success!!
man we got a lot of snow in winnipeg this year ,that would have been awesome to play with
The Zamboni is gong to love leveling out that ice. 2x👍
Nice Video that Ice got shredded
Add a ice skate blade to the front or connect the steering to your rear wheel...perhaps both? Maybe that helps with the turning. I dunno, I'm just an armchair engineer. Great content! (Y) Thanks!
Great work !
Don't forget to pick up all aluminium outdoor to not contaminate ground !
8:06 I have no idea how many times I can relate to this reaction. Nice job!
FYI. Get the Diablo Blade for cutting aluminum extrusion on a miter saw. Works GREAT and lasts forever
That moment at 8:06 is the BEST feeling in the world.
to make it turn you might have considered embedding the blades of skates into the steering ski on the front
If you swap that wheel out for a track, you'll make a skidoo!
Maybe... make two tracks and have a slight sliding gear-ratio to enable differential turning.
Simply just set the shocks so that the wheel sits lower then the sled when not under load. Then when you sit on it you will actually have constant down Force.
you did a good job ! I celebrate you parts.Best regards from south Germany.You are like me 40 years ago...
Seat could be on pivot points to put all the weight of the pilot onto the wheel axis. Nice video!
Tracks my guy your building an electric snowmobile. 🙌
That is such a cool prototype!
How to make friends:
Step 1 make something dangerous.
Step 2 let them have a go
If they survive congratulations you have made a friend.
Great video. Keep up the good work.
The most underrated chanel ever! Freakin love your contend
adding a skate instead of the plastic front or just a skate blade under the front blade, will let you turn much better with some weight over the steering wheel. well done!
Looks nice! If you somehow could mount everything underneath the seat (or between the snow skiers), you will get a safer design that does not need any extra weight.
Pro tip: get a cheap bar of soap for grinding aluminium. Smear some soap on the cutting disc as its running and you'll get much better cut speed and blade life with aluminium cuts. Prevents the Al from galling and loading up the disc.
really cool, I guess that's why they use belts on snow mobiles huh
Gorgeous Swedish spring days... BRRRRRRRTEEEEEEEEETCH
Youngsters the master of editing with normal sounds but ending with and incredible montage!! Love it
I used aspirin for cleaning the wires. Essentially aspirin is an acid and when heated (smells very horribly) it disolves the insulation and allows you to tin your wires properly.
So in the future solder the wires in a very well ventilated area using some aspirin tablets to clean the varnish off.
I've been stuck on a single problem for days. I know those feels. So frustrating and I could tell your reaction when the motor moved was completely genuine.
Nice job! Suggestion: reverse the position of motor and the wheel. The wheel should be right underneath the seat. Your mass will give you better traction. Higher the seat should give you a better lean on the turns. The motor should be furthest to rear for safety.
"What the Hell could Go Wrong" is now the new "What, Me Worry?" 🐯
That's awsome! Great 📷 angles.
"This is the kind of motor that you start using when you want to die from your own invention." - Best Simon quote ever!
It could benefit from something like the carbide runners on the bottom of snowmobile skis that cut into the ice and would allow some traction for turning. Also some kind of brakes would be nice if it is going to go that fast, unless smashing it is part of the fun.
8:04 that reaction was great. You could see how much pain he went through.
Nästa steg - medar! Så *piiip* cool leksak!
Man that wheel construction super cut was top tier 🤩
I think you just maybe have invented a new class of ice racing 😉
Great job, now you can make the next Disney on Ice show
You are getting better at not thrashing your projects , at the end of the video. Good job man!!
Only thing I would change, the steering is done with a ski which would work great in snow but for ice I'd recommend replacing it with skates. They are a lot easier to steer with. Course what do I know 😅
Go to Lake Baikal. There you can accelerate well and the ice is perfectly even.
Great video! Looking forward to your review of the Teamgee electric skateboard!🙏❤️
Put a lever under the seat the presses up on a mount that pushed the tire into the ground. That way you don’t need shocks or weights because it’s just your body mass holding the wheel into the ground.
Your randomness is the best :))
Raising the stearring wheel and the seat back could be good for better back posture
Nice work Simon
Always a pleasure to watch your videos
for good turning, use carbide slides like on a snowmobile ski. way better control. only will need it on the nose ski
for the isolated copper wire, you just have to brazing it at around 400°c with flux, the isolation will burn and you will can brazing normally
Bruv that looks so fun, also the troubleshooting looks so frustrating xD
Nice job
You can make the spike Weel lower and when you sit push it down
What an awesome video! I would suggest uploading this in two parts with more behind-the-scenes footage instead of just a quick montage of the main steps. This way you get more out of all the hard work you put in and your audience gets to watch two videos a month instead of one!
