    I worked with a friend with a C&C machine. I built a set of alloy wheels that are bead locks. Air filled they have had no issues at 160+ mph. We doubled the center tread and installed small rings inside the tire. After much trial and error, we have figured out a weave that stops any growth of an air filled tire. Anyone in top speed RC knows how hard that is. We've spun the tires on large bench motors to over 300mph, no over expansion, depending or failures. Tires are whats holding back records, not power. Were testing small go cart racing tires as well, very promising.

    Hi Kevin, I'm a Welder, there could be a number of reasons for the porosity, I'd be checking the o-rings in your torch, especially around the tungsten collet, and also the tail piece, it might even be a crack in the tail piece, another thing to check would be any pin holes in your gas lines. Both from the bottle to the machine, and from the machine to the torch, other than that you could change to another bottle of gas, but rarely is gas ever contaminated. Good luck with your endeavours.

      @kevintalbotTV good points above but If your welder works fine for stainless steel but poorly on mild steels it may be your filler metal. Mild steels GTAW benefits from using a filler rod with added silicon and manganese to avoid porosity. It also performs poorly when welded without filler (autogenous) compared to stainless steel for this reason. Try “ER70S” filler rods and see it that helps.

    The argon gas can be very easily blown away in very slight indoor drafts even if you can’t feel it. And even if the argon doesn’t completely blow away the ‘dome’ of argon around the weld can be disrupted allowing air to get in causing the porosity. It seems pretty likely that was your cause for shitty welds considering your welds started coming out better later on out of nowhere

      Why not use a proper tire compound instead of this porous foam? Its a mystery to me...

Due to the large diameter and rotational speeds these wheels experience tremedous forces, no rubber can hold that.

      These cars only need simple steel belted rubber tires. It's just a B to make them. Someone would have to set up the cords then impregnate molten rubber around them in a vacuum. The problem will be balancing them. You won't be able to just install them and go. They don't weigh as much as real cars and the speed at the perimeter isn't much higher than normal cars

  • @CarlMucher

    This quad motor build is INSANE! I had a couple of ideas for tires. 1st idea is maybe carpet. Like commercial type. It would be like a stiffer foam but a woven design. May not come apart. The 2nd idea is either NP1 or Sikaflex. These are industrial, structural urethane. Basically rubber in a tube. Use dish washer soap and water to tool it. Just thinking outside of the box. You have to get it to it's full potential! Can't wait to see how much more it has in it!

She plays with hers so much I'm constantly running out of batteries. about 4 a day and she's only 3 years old. So i think this is the perfect time to introduce her and reintroduce myself into the world of RC cars. And by the looks of this video i have lots to learn. This hobby is huge in the UK it seems. Not as big in the U.S. but thats just one of our many flaws. 😂

    Another wheel idea:
    High durometer skateboard wheels. You'd need to engineer a connector, but that could then be reused on any off the shelf wheel. They're readily available in diameters that work for rc, and relatively inexpensive.

    I've done the math on the tire size question. The centrifugal force that's going to blow the foam out is inversely related to the tire radius, at a given speed. F = speed/radius. So bigger radius tire is undoubtedly better. This is why F1 cars running at 200 don't instantly blow out the tires, despite them being made of rubber.
    TLDR: Big tires = Faster speed before blowout.

    Im sure you know this already, but you need the center driveshaft. The power and load bias between the two front tires and the two rear tires are killing your foams. If the fronts are spinning slower, they are scrubbing the foams off from the push of the rear. And the rears are wearing exceptionally fast because they are trying to push the slower scrub of the fronts. They need to be synced through the driveline. Great video kev, keep up the hard work and dedication brother! Maybe see if you can get a set of balanced steel belted tires on some trick carbon wheels 😎 or take some fiber core gates coolant hose for semi trucks and glue them to some wheels?

    • @JeremyKuhnash

      i was thinking the same, a very interesting piece of kit could be to sync them electronically so that the ESCs are linked to a central controller that monitors the wheel RPM individually and adjusts to suit. Your road car does all sorts of realtime things, the electronics are up to the task believe it or not even at very high speeds.

  • @roanoconnor98
    @roanoconnor98 Рік тому +69

    I think the reason for the rear tyres wearing down is because they aren't connected to the front. With the downforce pressure on the front wheels, the rear wheels could be trying to go faster than the fronts, wearing them out and causing them to blow. No idea if that's the case but just a theory!

      There’s no cameras down track as RC cars hitting a tripod or person at 200mph is a bad day for everyone. Also you’re trying to track something small at high speed which is hard enough to properly frame. There’s prolly no drones as they are at an airfield and you typically can’t fly within a few KMs of those… but they could 100% put a dead cat wind muff over the mic to kill the wind sound.

    The poor welding is due to the pipe being closed on both sides. The air in the tube expands due to the heat. And wants to escape. The air escapes through the weld pool of your weld. The solution is to drill a small hole +/- 3 millimeters in your tube. The welds on your exhaust are perfect because the tubes are open.

    I'm thinking about your wheel/tire problem. Have you thought about using taller tires? That would lower the wheel rpm and scrub off some of the centrifugal force on the tires. In the 80's, we used tires that had large diameter heat shrink tubing around the foam called "caps". You might consider using a heavy grade of heat shrink tubing to make an extra tread on your tires. There's even a grade of heat shrink with adhesive on the ID that melts as you heat it up. Can't wait to see you break the record with this. Awesome!

    Aluminium wheels with holes that are larger on the inside and use windshield urethane for the tyres making sure the urethane goes through the wheel. The funnel shaped holes will anchor the urethane in place. It should have very good traction. Wrapping the wheel with stainless steel safety wire in the urethane will keep them from blowing off the wheel.

    Easy fix for your tyres is to machine billet alloy (cost will pay for its self over time) and get Nolathane glued on it it gets machined in to a tube and slip/glue over alloy wheels it's may cost more up front than you spent on one set but you can reuse the rims over and over just getting the Nolathane re-vulcanized it will never fly off and it's hard wearing and flexible ,way cheaper than the amount of tyres you chewed through in one day Kevin

      @@andy0175 as someone who still enjoys inline skating in my late 40s, I will agree that the hard wheels supplied with many cheap production roller skates/skateboards would be next to useless. But some of the better quality ones with a lower durometer, around 76a or lower have plenty of grip. I’m certainly not saying with any certainty that it’s the perfect answer. I know the softer the rubber, the faster they wear out and two part wheels with a solid core and softer poly tread at those speeds it’s an unknown how well they will hold together. But it’s got to be worth experimenting with.

    you can glue foam to alu perfectly fine with the right glue and roughing up the alu. And it might keep the foam from flying off a bit better because it's gonna flap about a lot less and force that is smoothly introduced is always better than dynamically changing loads. It'd also probably be cheaper because you can reuse the alu wheels and just need to glue new foam to them. Only downside is they're heavier and thus need more run up to get up to speed. Though with that amount of power that shouldn't be a problem and I'd rather be worried about the resistance coming into the drivetrain getting everything hot...

      Incorrect.
      The surface speed of the tire is the ground speed, irrespective of gearing.
      Taller tires will increase the centrifugal force and generate more tire blowouts.
      Lightweight, small diameter and higher strength are the answers
