It seems like any type of rubber or form glued or attached to a rim is gonna expand even the rim ...if they're expanding on a road surface then ....they probably just ripping apart quicker thru friction G ....could it be possible to use real car rubber ....like a remold...but injection mold a whole rim and tyre as one piece....I'm not an engineer ...it's just a thought ...love Ur stuff kev
Its crazy i remember when this channel first started been watching for years. Love the content so many rc builds have came through this channel. Kev your awesome brother
Such a cool series of builds!!! It’s awesome to watch someone build with creativity and passion, but not take things too seriously! Spending gobs of $$$ but still just having fun!!! THANKS FOR ALWAYS BEING YOURSELF KEV!!! That’s why we’re here!
Thanks for releasing a full build video on this. I remember you releasing this over the span of time. At the moment im currently working on a 1960s Metal Tonka. Im turning it into a Drift truck like Ken Blocks drift truck😊
Hot tip. To cut difficult polycarbonate body shells and wings, use a Dremel cutting wheel, on the Dremel flexible drive with the Dremel small hand held bit holder. Sweet as, turns an hour of blistered fingers into 3 or 4 minutes of cutting wheel effortless work. Then, use the Dremel fine sanding drum to de bur and smooth the edges. Job done, in a few minutes.
Hi Kev, French guy living in Germany watching your channel 👍 love your videos ,mostly for your approach in modifications ,and don't giving a 💩 😊 You need aluminium wheels they can take the high rpm . For a new project ... Transform the 30° north petrol buggy in 8 or 12s brushless ,with axle width modification for more stability 😊 That would be a great project 👍
I am a paint shop Forman for an industrial paint shop. For paint or glue to stick to the metal, we use steel shot and steel grit to leave a deep profile. After we blast something the texture feels like sandpaper.
Wow absolutely amazing work.. love your channel.... . I have several cars... One of my favorites is a highly modified rustler brushless.... So fun.. Im disabled from bad accident and 4th stage terminal... But can still race my cars... Keeps me going... Thank you so much for your videos
The big issue though isn't downforce, they can achieve that, it's the tire/wheel compound. I saw that ev at festival of speed with the "suction" fan...
So glad your teaching younger people some basic hand tool skills. They’re gonna need that. R/C building is a great way to learn real skills and have fun too.
Congrats on 204!!!!!! I probably don’t know what I’m talking about but if the material of your wheels and tires are the weak point then you should run bigger wheels and tires to reduce the centrifugal strain on them. I figure that you can problem solve the issues with the internals to compensate for that.
0 interest in speed anything, but couldn’t stop watching just because of the insane quality and power of all those parts. Very mechanically satisfying. Awesome build!
Brilliant video kev, thanks for taking us along for the ride. Congratulations on making the 200+mph club 🤟👏👏 awesome achievement, and a real serious contender. For the wheels, could you not make them from the same material they make roller skate wheels, add a bolt in centre hub, and can machine them down to size wanted, make them thinner etc. could even lathe small grooves if wanted. Might not be enough traction 🤔 but just a thought.
When I was a teenager before I started drag racing at the track I remember an older gentleman telling me if you want to find the weakest link in your car take it to a prepped drag racing track. Because your tires will not slip/spin and all of that torque to find the weakest link, that doesn’t usually happen on the street because the tires just spin.
This was awesome we need an almost 2 hour video on every single one of your crazy builds !!!!! Love the long videos feels like sitting down at the theatre lol
I’ve watch3d this in bits today, I did watch all your videos when you released them. This is by far your most involved in depth RC attempt. The car is just too heavy and powerful for the tyres, that’s its achilles heal. Just have to find the right recipe to get them to work, then I think it ‘could’ hit that magic 250MPH!
I would go with a billet wheel and glue a rubber tire to the billet wheel all the way around. At least you know the wheels themselves wouldn't break, just an idea. Awesome new car.
aluminum wheels with foam glued down with 3M weather striping adhesive . it's so tough it will hold for decades it's the same stuff auto makers have used since the 1930's it's damn good stuff .

So Kev, what about prior to gluing the foam to the wheel, you wrap some winds of kevlar thread? It looks like the plastic is expanding causing the foam to fail. Some winds of kevlar thread may help to keep that from happening, just like radial tires. Just make some radial rims.
You should try turning down the foam tires with a tire turner as much as possible, maybe just save about 2mm thickness max and round off the edges properly, you can also try gluing the edges. Good luck :)
So, I don’t know if you’ve solves your wheel problem, but my intuition says that what is needed is a composite of foam and rubbber or plastic. The rubber/plastic would need to be latticed through the foam in some way or another. Not sure if it would be better to have the lattice come through the surface of the tire or not. I imagine doing it that way would work better with a rubber lattice though. Of course that means paying a company to make something completely custom or somehow doing it yourself. Also, the rubber would probably need to be much stronger than standard RC solid rubber tires.
Damn! epic build. I see the scorched parts are absolutely beautiful. I just built a arrma 1/8 outcast 6s transformed to kraton exb w/ HobbyWing max 6 G2 & 5687 on 8S. I put a M2C perfect mesh motor mount in to fit the 56mm can. I was considering scorched for some options was torn between the two. Well I can certainly say they'll be getting my business for those Absolutely epic steering knuckles! running 43t//25 then 50t/25 (I have no clue where to begin w/ picking gear ratio) My esc was acting overheated on the literal 2nd run through grass field hit a sprinkler head about 2.5 inches protruding & she shut down.. it turned back on 15m later the beeps sounded bad.
You should try putting the Carbon ring on the outside of the wheel but just on one half so you have half tire and half foam. And mayby make the foam stick out a bit more than the Carbon so it dosent scrabe on the ground.🤷♂️
My theory is that driveshaft was weakened from the crash and failed first. Then all the power was sent to the rear wheels, causing the skipping and eventual rear diff pinion failure. Also I think two sets of shocks on the rear with the heavy springs would give you the stiffness and dampening you need, with the added benefit of more mounting points for rigidity.
Cut foam or rubber and line the inside of the wheel maybe or 3d print solid cylinder type wheels ? Seems the inside of the wheel creates pressure or something makin them bow, once the power can get put down this thing gonna rip 💪💯
What about increasing the wheel diameter? for example if you increase the diameter from 80mm to 120mm, you would reduce the rpm of the tires by over 30%! Keep up the good work!
I think you’re on the right lines narrowing the wheels. Go as narrow as possible, less coning, less centrifugal force from the foam and less friction with the surface.
Kev I love your 200+mph build looks like you and all you buds are having so much fun on your quest to the record trys keep up the great trys you will surly get there one day soon. Your right it is the wheels that are holding you back. I believe all you need is someone that can make you real Alum wheels no foams and so plastic at all look at the full scale record holders they all use 100% alum wheels with high speed ball bearing wheel hub combo,s to do over 700mph. I believe this is the way you need to go aswell. (Look in the past 2 See your future) Your Friend Johnny BreedLove.
If I was the MD of a big company, I no I’d take that up as a challenge to make an roc car tyre survive at 250 mph, think of the publicity, worth a try mate 👍👍👍
Kevin, to help prevent back flips. Has anyone tried to add an audrino, Pl or other simple microcontroller and a sensor to detect the angle of the car, then put a servo on the wing to lift up on the back and maybe a wing on front to push down when needed? the controller could attempt to keep it on the ground and all automatically. just a thought.
I had a friend and his dad worked for Lockheed. He brought home some green aircraft epoxy that was amazing. If you can get some of that stuff it may hold those carbon rings in your wheels. I don't know just a thought.

Please give me RC
What about using hpi Baja 5b bead lock wheels?
bro you need to doubble up the wheels its too heavy mate
"Please dont break sausage"
A fear every man knows lol
just ask Dennis Rodman.
Its crazy i remember when this channel first started been watching for years. Love the content so many rc builds have came through this channel. Kev your awesome brother
Such a cool series of builds!!!
It’s awesome to watch someone build with creativity and passion, but not take things too seriously!
Spending gobs of $$$ but still just having fun!!!
THANKS FOR ALWAYS BEING YOURSELF KEV!!!
That’s why we’re here!
Don’t give up Kevin!!! Also this has been one of the best videos I’ve watched on UA-cam in general in a long time. Very very well done good sir!
I got a wheel idea:
Aluminium wheels, beadlock on both sides. Rubber tiers, clued air tight and draw a vacuum between the tire and rim.
Thanks for releasing a full build video on this. I remember you releasing this over the span of time. At the moment im currently working on a 1960s Metal Tonka. Im turning it into a Drift truck like Ken Blocks drift truck😊
100% Kevin Talbot you are the Richard Hammond of the RC world. And I mean that with the upmost respect and admiration. Who doesn’t love Hammond!!

When Kevin learns about DREMELS he might become unstoppable.
Richard Hammond if he had a RC Hobby instead of working at Top Gear. 🤣
Agreed 100% haha

I’ve been watching him for 5 and a half years
This RC hobby needs to start going down the Fan car route since we are breaking the 200mph barrier.
The big issue though isn't downforce, they can achieve that, it's the tire/wheel compound. I saw that ev at festival of speed with the "suction" fan...
It's crazy to think, That this RC car has more horsepower than some cars!
So glad your teaching younger people some basic hand tool skills. They’re gonna need that. R/C building is a great way to learn real skills and have fun too.

Just EPIC. Pleased to watch it again, this time in one take.
This was a nice break from the real world 😊
Brilliant video kev, thanks for taking us along for the ride.

It seems like at this point with 100 hp you might need to upgrade to go cart parts?
I remember when your shop in the UK used to be just as empty as your shop in the Isle of Man good on you for all your success bro💯👍..
Have you tried having this monster pull a child in some kind of go kart yet? Get him in some safety gear and let's see how fast it can tow him. 💪🏼
Kev, loving these long compilation videos! It really shows the ebb and flow, and insane amount of work you’re putting into these cars! Keep it up!
thats insane...it literally torches off all the foam in just one run. Love the little wind tunnel it creates with its speed.
Watching ya from Newfoundland, Canada 🇨🇦 🤘🏻
yo!!
…Is this completion video a lead in to more RC World record attempts 🤩🙌
KILLER BUILD!!! Awesome run!!! SOMEBODY has GOT to figure out the tires!!!! Thanks for posting!!
I'm glad u never gave up on it, excellent video mate.
Soak the foam tires in a wet adhesive. maybe apply a coat of bali sealer. You need to make your foam slip stronger
Kevin. get an engineer to turn up some aluminium wheels!! THEY shudnt fly apart!!!x
Awesome video-so much fun to watch!
This was awesome we need an almost 2 hour video on every single one of your crazy builds !!!!! Love the long videos feels like sitting down at the theatre lol
Kevin you are a beast. These videos have so much work put into them and it shows. I've been watching for atleast 4 years. Cheers

Haha, wrote this prior to watching the whole video. Looks like it definitely does not work with rubber. But it may with foam?

Great movie kev, this problem deserves a lot of testing and development!!!
Yes Guy Kevin🇨🇦
Thanks for turning me onto the Gen's Ace lipo!!! ❤❤❤❤ I had I had a soft case 6s china batt explode in the thrasher boat!!! 😮
Oh no, did it melt the boat?
Those thrashers look like a ton of fun!
@@volvo09 no I caught it in time!
metal wheels and rubber with steel mesh tires are must!
Good job awesome build 200 mah club
You should try putting the Carbon ring on the outside of the wheel but just on one half so you have half tire and half foam. And mayby make the foam stick out a bit more than the Carbon so it dosent scrabe on the ground.🤷♂️
Wow kev. I dread getting to the diffs in some of my cars and struggle to find the time and energy… this is 10000x more work!
My friend and i love watching all your videos from Detroit Michigan.
This is amazing 😮
All I can say is, wow!
My theory is that driveshaft was weakened from the crash and failed first. Then all the power was sent to the rear wheels, causing the skipping and eventual rear diff pinion failure. Also I think two sets of shocks on the rear with the heavy springs would give you the stiffness and dampening you need, with the added benefit of more mounting points for rigidity.
Kinda cool because I remember when all these videos came out and seeing it all in 1 is even cooler
Last thing you can do to keep the tires from blowing out is take a hot wire and make side ways lines in a spiral
Lot of work and you still pulled it off well done kevin Talbot 👍👍👍👍👏👏
well done kevin.Greece is watching...
Absolutely Brilliant Kev !!!!!!! 😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊❤❤❤.
Great efforts! You are definitely going to make 260.
I don’t need to watch all the videos cause I’ve already watched them when they first came out. I’m an OG fan.
boom!
"WHAT HAPPENED" LOL JK
Kev Man that Car / Rig is Epic Dude !! 200mph club at last, yes mate !!! 👍
Cut foam or rubber and line the inside of the wheel maybe or 3d print solid cylinder type wheels ? Seems the inside of the wheel creates pressure or something makin them bow, once the power can get put down this thing gonna rip 💪💯

Kevin. The weight of the car is your Achilles heel. Over all weight and downforce create excessive deformation - flat spots on the foam tires.
Awesome video... Love seeing the progression... Watch every minute!!
cool car bro
Hi Kev, hope you’ve had a good day😊❤
I know it’s a “little thing” but appreciate you saying
“For less than a dollar” opposed to free 🤙
Maybe 3D print a wheel that looks like Rob's 3D printed insert but making it one solid piece might work. Happy RC'ing Y'all!!!!
Must be nice getting free rc car stuff 💯
Wow....jealous much?
@@geoffneibert124 uhh ...yeah
A parachute system that deploys when you let off the power would save some much money on damage repairs. Surprised nobody's made one yet.
Kevin, to help prevent back flips.
