Well, you and a bunch of friends
came up with a terrible idea.
And of course, K-Pop RC
stupid ass.
That's me.
Decided to go through with it.
Here are K-Pop RC steps into
insanity, the trollers
stroller story.
But before we proceed.
Don't forget to sub up, bell up,
thumbs it up and leave me a crazy
ass comment.
Welcome to K-Pop RC,
a channel filled with questionable
financial decisions and
all things RC.
The conception, it was dreamt
up during a late night tall can
Tuesday live.
I'm going to make an RC kid
stroller and
I'm going to rip it super
hard. Like let's see how much air we
can get.
And it became a super popular
talking point, so much
so that I had to put the orders in
to get the project started.
Shout out goes to Gus Carter for the
name troller stroller.
It seems to have
totally stuck.
See, this.
Is why live streams are the best.
Step one.
Your girlfriend shares information
with you that some kid outgrew his
stroller for a leash
and their folks chucked the stroller
on the street. Of course, like
any sane, childless person,
I went out into the night
to retrieve it.
There
is.
She's glorious and may rip
pretty hard with enough
voltage.
Oh, it was the nickname we thought
of. Oh, I can't remember.
Oh, man, if you can if you if
any of you dudes can remember the
name of the RC stroller
from last week, remind
me.
Oh, yes, the troller stroller.
Step two.
How the fudge are we
going to get a solid eight s
worth of power to the wheels?
Last week we were talking about.
Making a super, super fast.
RC kid stroller
with a with a speaker inside of
a baby crying and
just like ripping it, like
ripping it so fast.
And we thought that would be really
funny. So I've been doing a lot of
research about it.
We tossed around a ton of ideas on
talking on Tuesday live, and
eventually we figured, let's
rid the world of one more electric
DUI vehicle and
ordered us up an AliExpress
special.
Oh look at this, this is pure
China packing right here.
After waiting weeks for the slow
boat to show up with our bounty,
we got straight to work.
A modest 150 bones
later, we got ourselves a dual motor
drive line set assembly
that we can somehow bolt
to the stroller.
Step three.
Now that we have our driveline
logistically figured out, we need
to drive those wheels as fast
as absolutely possible.
Super fast.
How are we going to do that?
Well, we're going back
to China. Yeah, we're going to order
some more shit from China.
I picked up a few outrunning
brushless motors with what I
thought was a low kv
at 850 KV.
Those bastards, of course, they
didn't fit. They didn't fit.
And my drill press less abilities
were put to the frickin test
when I had to drill hubs, centrally
spaced holes in the motor
mounts.
It worked.
I like it worked out.
It worked.
Out.
Holy shit, guys.
This might this might actually work
out.
Step four.
Driving the motors are a set of esc
electronic speed controls provided
by HobbyWingDirect.com.
Yo, if you need your stupid idiotic
projects powered by some seriously
robust hobby grade tested,
budget friendly motors and escs.
Then dude, go there and use my
discount code kpoprocks
for a nice discount.
These escs can handle six
s, but the motors can't.
So we'll stick to two for us
batteries in parallel to run
this mistake of a project.
Step five, mixing.
So we got ourselves a tough cookie
to crack. We need to mix our
radio signals together so
we can utilize a racing style
pistol. Radio?
Huh? What?
Yeah. What?
Yeah.
Yeah. There's some little microcontrollers
that are built to do mixing
for vtol airplanes.
This will allow us to mix our
steering input with our throttle
input in order to steer
this beast.
Step six,
the first shakedown.
Got my keys.
Maiden flight meeting
of the stroller. Stroller.
Let's do it.
Sweet. All right, so I got zip ties,
and I'm sure you'll get a brick.
Oh, I thought they were heavier.
Maybe we could tie the batteries
to the front.
Oh, and zip carrying the brick.
It's not that heavy.
It's not? No, it's not
that way. It looks like a brick.
I mean, we should have done it
under.
Oh, like underneath.
Oh, no, you're right.
Oh, yeah. That's more probably.
Stop.
Okay. Okay.
Okay. It's working.
The motors are a problem.
Yeah, cause I feel like the.
Yes, he's going to supply more
power, but it's not spinning.
And then the escs realize, and then
it shuts off.
Turn it
with that.oh, that
would have been good on the camera i
think.
Oh, I smell it.
Maybe the thermal cut.
Yeah. That's good.
Well, that's great. That's where I
get all the heat, the brakes.
That was pretty controllable.
You got to get used to it, though,
because the throttle
when you turn left, the throttle,
you gotta train your brain.
Step seven.
Oh.
The creepy support doll
No, I think we're going to call him
Skid the kid, I believe.
Yeah. We got. We got a baby here.
Oh, shit.
Here we go. We got a baby.
Dammit, .
kid. Oh, man.
I lost the shoe
and be a great dad.
All right.
We're good. Yeah. So we got this guy
with a super cute shirt.
Look, it's like upside down
dinosaurs.
I don't know. It's being He's being
eaten by a dinosaur.
It's hilarious.
It's funny.
Kind of holding up..
skid the kid in tow. We make it to a
large parking lot to see if
we can get this thing to spool out.
New tank mixing radio
in hand and two extra
pounds of human replica as ballast.
We are ready to go.
I can't wait to try out the new
radio, got a new radio.
It's got a built in mixing.
It should be good.
We got skid the kid.
Oh, maybe
they're going to call the cops, oh people are looking.
It's okay. It's not.
It's not real human.
after some casual child abuse.
We found a few issues
with the stroller, the first being
the motors high.
Kv, they do
not supply enough torque
for takeoff or even
to stop the stroller.
Yeah, these motors, man, they got to
go.
There's no way
they don't want to cooperate.
No, but they're shutting
now.
I mean, they're warm.
You can adjust that. Doesn't seem like it has the same amount of
power.
Well, i think it's slowing down.
What happened to the speed.
Is there a giddy up button,
uh,
k that's steering?
So.
All right.
Oh, super hot.
Yeah, super hot.
The motors were basically just
cooking themselves.
They were, like, just on fire.
And we later found out that was even
with it running at 75%
in reverse.
At 75%.
Throttle in reverse.
Getting a little dirty.
You thought, Oh,
poor kid.
That's going pretty fast.
Just not nearly
as fast as I wanted to go.
Yeah, that's a little warm
or a little or
later we're going to kid the
kid over there and then the motor is
being really shitty
raining.
I mean.
Wait. Hold on, hold on.
Do I hear something sizzling. Is it
going backwards faster than it is?
Oh, I think it is.
But something might be sizzling to.
Look.
Oh, shit.
Yeah.
That's why I was going so fast.
That means the motors are really going to melt,
uh.
I'm going to go straight.
Sure you are.
Yeah.
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Oh, Jesus.
Here we go.
Oops.
That's the problem.
Oh, something just fell off or
just lost the part.
K-Pop and lost his nut.
Come with me now.
Come, come, come.
Come this way.
I'll show you the secrets.
I'll show you the K-Pop.
Our secrets.
Secrets,
secrets. Secret.
I you see.
So I had to make a 3D print, a fan,
to push air through
through it, you know, keep it cool.
I did do a mirror one on this side
because it spins the opposite
direction.
Uh, yeah, it's pretty sweet.
And then, of course, you got the
escs up in here
was too big, hobby wing.
Hobby wing kind of budget.
Quick run,
you know, waterproof.
Yes, they're great.
And then we got a really cheap
radio link.
Receiver.
And radio.
And this is probably the
shittiest radio could ever get, but
it has mixing.
So you can do tank mixing, which is
power steering this thing.
We're shooting this thing by giving
it more power left to right,
and that's what steers it, which is
actually quite a mistake.
I feel like that's the that's what
makes this thing the hardest to
control squirrely, because when one
wheel gets picked up and it starts
to spin faster and it hits
it does this like crab walk of power
and it's just like, no good.
But we are having, you know, like
Crazy High Torquey motors
and we ended up burning one of them
out. So instead of just
replacing it with just like another
one of the same motors,
we cut the kV in half and
we cut the kV in half.
Yeah. When you cut the kV and have
it's 350 kV,
you're going to get more torque
but lower RPM on the top
end. So we're going to sacrifice a
bit of speed, which I don't think we
could ever get. We don't have more
speed going no no.
So this should make things easier to
sort of like get things
going because before we have to
push, like I literally had to push
the thing to get it to
start moving
and also like I do
terrible. Like, I mean, this is kind
of a terrible job.
Look at this is just the brackets
here and here and all.
And I think there's like one.
No, just the two.
Well, the spacers
the spacers that you put in right
here are your toe.
We have. But I feel like it's just
like a piece of plastic.
And I think one of the wheels is
told a little bit more than the
other, which might make it steer
better. On one side, something was
looking a little wonky with, Oh,
it's one with this angle here.
It's wonky because we crashed it so
many times.
The good projects are the ones that
stew.
You slowly work on them, smoothing
out those kinks.
And you know, if you can slap around
a small doll of a child,
you know, consider that a bonus.
But here we're we're swapping
out the higher KV Motors
for half the KV at 350.
It should provide us with like an
adequate amount of torque on startup
and should also keep the
temperatures down,
you know, to like a reasonable
non melting the coils
together temperature are
we right.
Well you're going to have to sub up
to find out how it goes, how
many people we terrify and
what face tattoo skid
the kid's getting for his birthday.
Anyway, that's it for this episode.
K-Pop out.
