on this episode of kpop r/c we take this and we change it from a recycled
dinosaur burning monster and turn it into a angry pixie dust eating
monster it's gonna torque on demand lips
hey, welcome to kpopRC, the channel where I make sick videos of scale models pretty much
anything that's got a remote join me while I drain my wallet and build the
most crazy, big scale,
sometimes outlandish RC projects out there so don't forget to sub up for
giveaways and sick-ass rc content
sometimes there is fire.
first of all if you haven't seen the beginnings of this monster MCD fifth
scale build check out our conversion from The Canadian fifth scale Nationals
winning truck to the WRC inspired kpop kana link in the top right corner I've
got two sponsors to shout out for this amazing bill first is cardinal racing if
you want one of these masterpieces of engineering then look no further than
cardinal racing.ca second sponsor is hobby wing direct.com go there make a
user and comment down on one of my videos to enter and possibly win this
motor and ESC combo
conversion is one out of necessity the plan is to take this huge RC car and
film it possibly in urban environments and a two-stroke chainsaw motor may land
us in some serious heat so let's tesla the ship out of this platform gain
some serious linear torque and pray we don't peel the tires off the rims let's
lets get started first thing we do is we remove the gas burning two-stroke motor
the MCD being is race bred as it is does so with only four bolts with super cool
about the MCD platform is the motor whether it's electric or gas lives on a
motor caddy I assume the pro racers in Europe have
many engines on many caddies for quick motor changes or even gearing on the go
in and out fast between mains
the electric kit is comprised of motor mounts a handful of screws and a battery
plate pretty simple design machined to perfection I expect no less from MCD
quality control the quality of the components is always top notch the motor
I will be using is the hobby wing easy run 56 113, 56 mill radius 113
Mills long at eight hundred kilovolts it's a monster it's a monster about
the size of a coke can and the magnets are super strong I can barely turn the shaft
with my fingers , just look at the size of thing, all I had to harvest from the old motor was
the Caddy itself as well as the clutch carrier the electric motor doesn't have
a clutch as part of the driveline it just uses the clutch carrier as a way
to center and mount the motor to the caddy and of course the previous owner
used enough lock tight to kill a small dog, resulting in my ass
having to drill out a few of these hardened five millimeter bolts, fifth scale
is no joke
providing enough angry Pixies to get that torque on demand I'll be running a
few Gen's ace 5500 4s 45 C batteries in series
making this a whopping 8s of fury that's 28 volts nominal pretty fricken crazy
it's the most powerful ESC motor combo I own
delivering that power is the Hobby wing easy run max 5 ESC this is the older
version now the ESC comes with thermal shutoff for the built-in temperature
probe on the motor a little peace of mind when running such high voltages and
pushing this much power through the drivetrain don't let its size fool you
though it almost seems a bit small but we'll see, this ESC is very capable and we've
had no problems running them HARD with a few fifth scale cars they are tried tested
and true
the kit went together like butter I can't believe the size of this motor the
hope is to have tire burning torque right off the bat that two-stroke motor
had a clutch spring rated for certain rpm but this motor this motor should
just rip from the get-go
yo here you can see the motor caddy this bottom plate allows you to remove the
power unit with four four bolts this whole engine assembly was held on to the
chassis by four bolts the two-stroke motor was no slouch
it is however being replaced by a slightly lighter setup we shed a few
grams on this one the major difference between a two-stroke and an electric set
up is the two-stroke has a torque and horsepower curve whereas the electric
motor is straight-up linear you don't have to wait to get to your peak
horsepower and your peak torque you've got it right from
zero rpm mounting the motor and move right onto the
ESC the fit conveniently into the receiver
battery box after drilling some speed holes I think we should be alright in
terms of air flow
scary is all fudge, so I mixed this pretty cool throttle is ESC
this is for model tether aircraft right like they stay in the middle and they
like, so let's plug them in No
that's it for this episode of kpop RC and sorry it ended with such a soggy
display of lazy videography but what can you say this is a cold March day I think
and it was raining pretty hard so you're gonna have to subscribe for more
Gymkhana style footage from this thing I will be definitely definitely shooting
some urban style actual gymkhana i stitched together footage at some
point so stick around for yet behind the scenes of that but let's be real that's
not going to be for a little bit probably after e30 projects finished
right things gonna get finished huh anyways yeah
