for the hundreds that said NFW ...

that redbenjoe can make a 4WD vehicle -
and have it scoot up a 35% ramp
HA !!!

Dude, that thing is sick!

 

[im_alan_partridge]

Rbj is truly a man for all seasons

That redbenjoe has way to much spare time and I suspect is slightly crackers! Has some impressive skills tho

 

[Fatdog]

I just enjoy sitting back and watching Ira's brain go to work. It is fascinating.

 

[redbenjoe]

well thanks for all the admiration, fellas --

tonite --just for the jollies -
i made one with tank type treads --it should do 45 degrees --easy

BUT --steering this sucker will require TWO motors

pictures later -- IF it works

[redbenjoe]

as of an hour ago --it works -
45 degree slopes --all nite long -
and goes over anything -
i am such a freekin genious ( with clown tendencies )
pictures shortly

 

[redbenjoe]

now i need to ask you guys ??????? seriously

are there any commercial ( non-custom ) toy cars//trucks --
RC or not RC--that can do 45 degrees ? ... or even more
and weighing ALOT ?

i dont mean with speed and momentum ( anything on wheels can do that )

i do mean --SLOW - like starting at zero at the bottom and climbing at one mph

 

[Northerner]

That's pretty cool! No idea on your question tho

 

[Superduper]

I have built and operated many RC cars/trucks/tanks and I would say most if not all will do 45 degrees. The motors are very powerful and probably equivalent to 2000hp with big rig type torque if life sized motors of similar scale were introduced 1:1 into a real car. Also 4wd and monster tires (on trucks) or obscenely sticky foam tires (on cars) are the norm for today's RC cars. I'm talking Tamiya, Kyosho, etc.

 

[redbenjoe]

thanks ,,,
i know some RC cars can go crazy fast --so of course --at speed --they can race up and jump very steep ramps-

but - can any --start at the bottom --and crawl up 45 degree ramps ??

 

[blu_fuz]

None that I ever had as a kid...... but if you check youtube vids maybe you can find some.

Are you using sandpaper belts as tracks?

I use my tracked vehicles for other purposes...

The secret is to go slow. These RC vehicles have so much power/torque on a power/weight ratio that going fast on a steep incline simply causes it to flip over head/heels. They pop wheelies like crazy. There was even a famous RC model called wild willy that did that all day long.

and when i use the sandpaper for the tracks -- its like have 2 belt sanders !!

now - tonight --when the beach sand // and glue dries on my ramp -
it should do 50 degrees " and beyond "

Nice tiger. I want to get one so badly. I'm thinking 1/4 scale though

 

[floyd]
