We Built a Remote Control Go Kart and Had a 50MPH Runaway Land Missile *Wake Up Call*
Вставка
- Опубліковано 7 чер 2020
- We've wanted to build a remote control go kart for years. Specifically, our friend Michael had the idea to build a RC go kart after Ike flipped the 670cc Lawn Mower. The goal was to create a remote control system that we could adapt to different projects so we could perform un manned top speed tests. In today's video, we build a remote control go kart with a built Tillotson 212cc engine producing around 15 horsepower. Wanting to test the go kart before the sun went down, we skipped a bunch of safety features and testing, and Ike volunteered to get on it to drive himself around his yard. Instead, the radio controlled go kart went full throttle, accelerating Ike to at least 35MPH in a gas station parking lot and crashing into a curb. We are extremely lucky that no one got hurt and nothing got damaged. From now on, we're adjusting the throttle cable so that max throttle on the remote = barely above idling, more safety features, and testing UN MANNED in a wide open field.
Thanks for Watching!

dude says " but you have no steering" ikes like, "itll be fine"
ALWAYS BE SAFE AND DONT DO WHAT WE DO! We got lucky! We’re gonna give this another shot with 90% less throttle and in the middle of a big field!
cool vid
Ok
Awesome not gonna lie I shit my self when Ike most control of the go kart be careful guys!
My RC gokart ran some big guy over one day and it was scary.you guys gonna make me take out my RC gokart today.
You guys should use servos from an RC truck for the throttle
Am I the only one who wants to see another 4 wheel drive go cart
I think your thinking about grind hard plumbing
i'd like to see a dual motor 4 wheel drive electric go kart
I wolud like to see a 1 motor 4wd gocart
Send it Jerry!
@@brycenbragg5314 look up grind hard plumbing
It'll be fine, are also famous last words.
Always reminds me of “hold my beer, watch this” lol

@Joe Blo U got that.
He should've yelled "it'll be fine" as the kart ran away lol
That would’ve been legendary.
That was damn quick thinking penning it up against the curb. Ike was on his game. Good driving man!
Thanks
@@isaacitllbefine7231 next time test it on axel stands with a yank cord to the spark plug wire !
Fenland Nerfworks yank cord to the spark plug wire? Wtf... you know theres a thing called a kill switch
Yeah, Isaac doesn't seem like the type to panic in situations like that. Just get it done and quick! Great job.
@@knowbull5hit590 believe it or not some kill switches don't work when engines are stuck flat out, old 2 strokes are good at this.
Awesome Idea, I have done this with Cars and trucks for filming but not a Go-kart. Btw please wear sleeves or sunblock when welding, those UVC rays are very bad for your skin.
Best content=beat crashes lol I still remember the runaway 670 widowmaker kart
You might want to try window motors with steel drive gears. They power forward and reverse direction. Just a thought.
When I heard “disconnect the kill switch” I knew this wouldn’t go well lol. Y’all be careful up there!
Ike, "My pride needs mouth to mouth." LMMFAO!!! That is literally the funniest thing I have heard on the internet.
I'm so glad he's ok but damn.... I laughed so hard.
Yes finally a rc go cart
Glad ya safe man.
they should use servo motors there powerful cheap and small
@@danielrouxel5696 they have some big enough to work.
Glad ike is good but got to be honest never laughed so hard 😂 great job guys love your vids 👍
yall show your mistakes. which is how we all learn. watching people succeed is great, but seeing that the process is full of failure is very important. i think alot of people forgot that these days, which stops them from trying. Never be afraid to fail! Great job guys.
Wow, that was sketchy af. Glad no one was hurt. The first remote control kart we made, we tested it without a rider and ended up hitting a tree. Learned a quick lesson after that. Fortunately when our is out of range it doesn't do anything crazy. It will shut down throttle once out of range, even if you turn of the remote.
I think the h-bridge(IBT-2) setup is easier than arduino programming to do this. Also inside the wiper motor gear its filled with rubber. The rubber can come loose and cause it to slip. I filled mine with jb weld and its working great.
Lol I realllly want one of the Honda mini motorcycles..
Check out Isaac's newest channel: "It Could'a Been Bad!"
Awesome glad to see it back
I've been there with a mud mower build...got eager to test the new shifter even though I had no seat or kill switch...when I went to turn around at the end of the road I forgot to downshift...let the clutch out with it in 6th gear, even at idle rpms it popped a wheely, dumped me off, drive through a ditch and hit a neighbor's car going 10mph. Destroyed the door and inner door frame. C&C were lucky to have a wake up call that didn't get anyone hurt or cost you $1000s in property damage.
This oughta be good judging by that title...
When you froget that its monday and cars and cameras uploads
Glad to see ole didn't get hurt. Still a really cool idea.
Love you guys keep up the good work
I love you guys I can’t wait for the bmw build
Reminds me of home improvement, Tim Taylor moment
You guys have inspired me to build my very own beast of a go kart
Screw that!!!! Glad you guys are safe👌
I"m only laughing because Ike is ok, but yeah, that was a crazy rip. Ya"ll need to separate the gas and brake, need another wiper motor. and DEFINITELY need a kill switch! And maybe a little toilet paper.....
Definitely toilet paper and pair of shorts lol
they should use servo motors
It’s like when the black widow’s throttle got stuck with John lmao
A little more room you would have got her to 88mph and missed the curb, lol. Glad everybody is ok. Keep up the good work
Great stuff
Missing was Hold My Beer!
they do this WITHOUT beer ... imagine if they drank
Cool idea! I’ve built a lot of big RC stuff and you need to use Linear actuators and RC car style radio. Much easier and faster to do.
Wow, I was waiting for Ike to say... Hold my beer and watch this guys... lol
Glad no one was hurt. Can’t wait to see the end product.
LMAO FUNNY . Glad you’re ok . Ahh the “here hold my beer” moments in life . Awesome vid. Put a tether on it .
I was wondering if it is possible to make a hybrid go-kart. Half electric half gasoline.
I've wanted to do it for years
@@CarsandCameras Also a descent idea for an all-wheel-drive, gas rear, electric front? Ditches all the mechanics trying to get power to the front - small elec motor each front wheel. BTW, a (clothes) washing machine motor, v-belt to the engine (pre-clutch), with super simple DIY rectifier, puts out tons of DC for a couple elec motors.
I've been scheming up a similar hybrid, taking cues from early hydraulic front wheel assist ag tractors. Gasoline driven rear axle with a jackshaft powering a hydraulic pump going to a pair of hydraulic motors on each front wheel.
@@RustyCarnahan THAT. . . . . . . is a freaking AWEsome idea! For me, , like a slower moving, crawly, climb anything kinda rig. I been looking at some of the junk tractors around here to play in the mud with. Theres only 1 with a 4x4 front axle, but its much bigger than the smallish ones that I see being more fun. At one point I had a kinda flash in my head of putting it together sorta backward - the bigger 4x4 front axle as the back of the smaller tractor - so the tall skinny back wheels (on the smaller one), would then be the front. . . . .I'm seeing it again - and that mud pond is lookin fresh.
I said it other times in the past and i'll say it again, please start putting kill switches on everything, it's the most important thing on a go kart, we need you guys to stay alive so we can get more videos :)
I'm happy Isaac was not seriously hurt but I have to admit that ride was absolutely funny as hell.
We need a Land Missile T-shirt. A silhouette of Isac on a go cart with his hards up in the air and maybe a smoke trail behind him. haha keep up the great work!!!
I would soo Freakin buy a Land Missile T-shirt....... but gotta have the feet in the air too - frantically looking for SOMETHING to stomp on.
Wearing a cup could be included in your safety equipment Issac.
I 🚗💨
Why would he need it tho
I said this before watching soo I know now
Well that was exciting! I’m excited to see it working now!
Sick!
The LawnMowerGambler will see you there 😍🍻🏁
That was funny guys I needed that👍
In the 1990's I went to a school to learn how to drive a remote controlled HMMWV as part of a US Army project. Now that was a "land missile," especially if you tried driving it at any speed over about 20 mph.
thats right...its a bad idea...
Haven't even gotten 5 seconds in and I know this is gonna be a wild ride
hah. I'm an RC guy and I was like 'wtf where's your kill switch'. I won't even run a 5lb 1/10 nitro RC without some sort of failsafe that'll pull the brakes on if something goes awry(I have two; an electronic one AND a mechanical spring), much less a RC'ified gokart.
Also, also, get rid of that complicated throttle/brake linkage. Put a standard Futaba S3004 servo on the throttle and use your homemade one SOLELY for brakes.
That looked scary fun!
Isaac, fellow NCian here, the motor is a universal motor. The field is wired in series with the armature. They always spin in the same direction. Only way to change that, is to swap the wires to the brushes (but not the field). Depending on construction, it may be easier to swap wires on the field. Just depends... typically the brushes are wired between the two field poles, so brushes are the way to go. Lionel trains used a similar type up until they switched to the permanent magnet can motors.
Starters are wired the same, BTW! A starter motor, unless it has a set of permanent magnets, will always turn the same no matter the polarity (unless it is a shunt wound motor).
Another name for a univesal motor, is "series-wound". They also have the neat property they will run on AC as well, as long as the frequency is realtively low. A DC specific one without lamination in the field iron would heat rapidly, but it should develop nearly full torque.
Good vid
Drives out of controll "it will be fine" 😂
Good job getting it stopped there Ike. I'm pretty sure I would've abandoned ship... done the ol tuck n' roll, and that could've ended up hurting someone else which would be really bad
Whew ! Close one
RC go-kart amazing maybe independent controllers for your brake and gas. Keep up the good work ... safely
Can’t wait to see the end of this . Never saw this type of build
LMAO!!! That actually brought tears to my eyes laughing so hard. So (too) many flashbacks of similar situations over my lifetime. Thanks for the content guys, you are one of my favorites.
Thanks!
Thanks
New t-shirt ... line drawing of Ike's face when that cart took off, with both his feet in the air.And of course the caption, "It'll be fine" Best selling t-shirt ever. You can thank me later. Really glad he's ok, but damn that was hilarious
Glad you guys are ok I love the videos I’ve been here since the acceleration videos
Glad Ike did not get hurt! Makes me reconsider using RC parts for throttle control on my project.
As far as making the thing safer, i'd suggest a cruise control motor/actuator for throttle since it's already meant to do exactly that. Wiper motor is way too slow for something this crucial. Should be about $40 at a junk yard, about $5 at a scrap yard. Physical dead man switch is a must, kill switch on the transmitter is not enough.
And please no more of that "it only sorta works, so it's fine" BS especially for something like this. Kinds surprised you guys did not take it out on a full RC ride with no passenger first, although i get the excitement you felt there. We need you alive and well. :)
nah just a ec servo on the throttle body would be fine
heres a way to make it completely safe... have a cable going from the throttle to the motor, direct linkage to a steering wheel and finally brakes you can operate with your left foot ... this is a STUPID idea... dont encourage them
I wish I could've seen Isaac's face when that kart took off ! 🤣 Rc cars is my #1hobby been into rc's for 15 yrs. Be safe guys !
I haven’t even watched yet,but I love it.
Glad to see no one got hurt but dude you guys had me rollin... that moment the go kart took off and put you back in the seat was hilarious lol!!! Seriously though...glad you walked away!!!
This was cool. love to see it really work. Just imagine future potential...races with other remotes...?
OH geez! DJI flyaway affects the go-cart too!
So happy to see you got out without any injury or worse. :-)
Hope to see more on this project..
Hilarious I loved it. I'll be back for more!
Guys, You guys are on a good path as someone who loves tinkering like you do and has built Radio Controlled toys out of things that shouldn't be RC.
Use 2 motors in tandem for the steering. One push while the other pulls, this way it makes 12volt motor into a 24v and creates less strain on the system. Use smaller Windshield wiper motors if you have them. If you have VW bug windshield motors, they work really good as Servo's - Grin
Also for the throttle. Remove the peddles from the equation as they create drag and make the servo/windshield wipers work harder eliminating responsive control of the vehicle. Directly hook the Throttle/Break cables to the servo running through the center of a spring system so the springs help return the motor to center point and create an automatic neutral kill switch if you will.
Also, finally. For F sake, put the return spring in the Remote Control so the throttle automatically gets returned to center which will help act as a kill switch since both the spring loaded throttle and Stick on remote will center each unit to middle thus not allowing the Kart to lose control and put Ike in the kill zone again.
Added bonus I just thought about. Add a remote kill switch, if you guys have a 2nd remote you should be able to initiate a "Buddy Box" via remote link and allow someone to have a remote kill switch via shared link thus giving control of another remote to kill or if you want to take it to the next step, give control to the other box so someone else can bring Ike back to safety.
Great work to this point and thank you for uploading the Video. Look forward of your next round.
Brad
Very Cool! i’ve got a qx7 for my fpv freestyle drone and mah i day it’s a great radio
Man, I'm sure glad no one got seriously hurt.
But I'm ecstatic that it's on UA-cam!
Ike, you are a mad, mad scientist! If you ever get to Bama, beers & pizza are on me!
Rc stuff is awsoome👌😁
Drive careless 🤘
“ I can make left turns!! “ LOL !! Bhole pucker factor! Wish you guys could have had a GoPro on your face. Keep the videos coming. I would say round 2 out at y’all’s shop in the woods....
Now That was Cool!!!
Nice 👍🏽
Glad you didn't get hurt Isac!
Thanks
Glad Isaac is ok! Man, that thing just took off? He did a great job getting that thing under control quickly! Glad nobody was hurt.
Glad you're ok Isaac, if a little banged up. Had similar experience on a bike that decided it wanted to be in charge.
It was awsome ready to go again
To improve safety you could change it to 2 separate motors for brake and gas so if the throttle sticks you still have a brake and change the linkage to just push the pedal (not physically attached) so you can still manually push it if need be.
Love y'all's videos, can't wait for more!
You guys are insane!
You guys rock... 🤣
Seriously cool build. Safe distanced go carting...
Times sure are a changing.
Northeast Tennessee here...
Sending love from a fan in Lil Washington. Great content guys!
This is awesome and glad everyone is okay! Keep it up and anytime you "test" something wear a helmet! Isaac just disappeared, that thing is a missile
Man ike you be the man to try doing something like that crazy it'll be fine
No lesson like a practical lesson! Glad you're okay!
That was hilarious! 🤣😂
A motor that spins in the same direction no matter which way the wires are, that's a Universal Motor, can be run on AC and DC, the way to swap directions is to swap the wires to the motor brushes round, not a fault, that's just how they work... :)
Second funniest moment on your channel. Glad no one go hurt but it was so funny.
Man it would sure be sweet if that thousand CC cart was ready for Oregon you guys please stay safe stay well and as always God bless
This video had me thinking of Mr. Toads wild ride. Glad Ike’s good. Y’all stay safe.
first Real carsandcameras episode in a long time. ITLBEFINE
Wow, just wow. I will never forget my dad's jaw dropped when I finished an engine swap on my old ts250. I didn't turn down the throttle and I almost went through the garage wall. Always, always plan for screw ups. Murphy's law is real my friends.
Guys, the throttle should definitely be just a servo connected to the throttle cable off the carburetor. It'll be easier than what you have, just use the PWM signal from the Arduino and power the servo motor separately. Then your wiper motor can do the brake only. I also recommend you put two wiper motors on the steering, one for each wheel but they are both still connected. Good luck, It's gonna be epic.
Or just keep driving it because I assume the videos are behind real life and you've already got it working IDK.
Either way, It's gonna be awesome!
Talk about making a quick trip to the Quick Trip. Glad you're OK Ike.
I kinda want to get into stuff like what y’all do keep up the terrific amazing work guys 👍
That was outstanding!!! 💪😅
Damn, that looked like a cartoon. Glad everyone is good.
I really like the idea of having someone riding while someone else has control. Strap your friends in and send them for a ride what a rush that would be. Could be a fun time if you could make it somewhat safe.
