How to make RC Car Steering that Self-centers - Front Axle | Toy-grade Mechanism
Вставка
- Опубліковано 22 вер 2022
- Thanks for tuning in! This time we make a basic car steering mechanism out of a PVC pipe for 1:18th scale toy-grade remote-controlled cars. Thanks to the integrated pen springs, the mechanism self-centers (returns) the wheels to a neutral position after power is pulled away from the motor to continue driving straight. Additionally, this steering/axle unit has higher steering torque with the dual-spur compound (step down) gear taking the motor's pinion gear rotation and rolling the rack gear back and forth.
This mechanism can be used in RC cars with 4-channel HIGH/LOW receivers (controllers) and transmitters.
This is my original car steering mechanism design, hope you found it straight-forward to make, with my parts' blueprints and guidance.

PVC pipe + stove = the poor man's 3D printer. Very clever.
I did everything that u did, but my 3 volt dc motor cant seem to move the mechanism, its maybe less powerful, what do i do
All great, but black and white photo gives some misleading and mixed feeling vibes. Maybe its just me. Other than that - thanks for the video
How to make remote for rc car sir?
Is there's 3D models that i can print instead of making? I don't have these tools
I hv seen this mechanism implemented in cheap toy RC cars atleast 17-20 yrs ago. Instead of two spring, in those cars only one clip spring was used. Nothing new here.
I think the electric current will break the motor because at some point it cant move and it will melt the rotor
How to make RC car break Front and back
Say yes for your idea😍❤️👍💯✅🎉🎉🎉
Max wer doo you buy rs car 🚘 motors
Your working level in reality max. It's amazing
I've never thought of using pvc like that, very innovative. Subbed!
That spring corrector is pretty genius
It is exactly what I was looking for. Thanks for sharing your steering wheel project
This is so amazing! 💯
this is exactly what i was looking for, thanks for the tutorial, dude
Incredible
Great work max!
Very nice mechanism.
Your Rc car steering is very simple and it is very helpful for my projects
