make the clutch servo arm shorter. for more precise clutch release and less load on the servo

Imo, Id shorten the clutch fork side and enlarge the servo side. Bigger amount of throw on the servo for a little fork movement. Is that what your thinking of?

I'm not entirely sure this is possible with the remote but if there is a way to define any code: a little low pass would help, or just an averaging filter. This would dampen the clutch response and make it more smooth. Would work as well or better on the receiver side.

Awesomeness I truly want to thank you for building the scale car and transmission!

Cork & leather were both used as clutch material in older cars, too! My Hudson uses a cork clutch (admittedly it's in a bath of ATF, which might be way it survives) and lots of brass-era vehicles used leather-wrapped cones much like you made.

I know the clutch on my old Industrial sewing machine is cork. Admittately, the modern servo motors offer way better control. Lol

I'm pretty sure cork clutches are actually a composite of cork and resin or cork and friction oil. Wet clutch stops the material being brittle or overheating and wearing too much.

This car does not have a limiter as incorporating an effective one would be very expensive . If you run the engine without load slightly rich AFR ,it can still run away and float valves and break connecting rods from engine overspeed which has happened to other model cars of this kind . Johnny has destroyed an engine from overspeed , excessive RPM before .

Another amazing installment from you. I really enjoy watching your builds, no nonsense sales pitch to buy stuff, sign up today! Thank you for the update.

You're so talented in every way, very impressive.

If you had a good transmitter, you could program a mix with the clutch channel and throttle channel. When throttle is at neutral and below, have the clutch servo disengage. The more throttle you give, the more the clutch engages. Would be a bit of a pain for initial setup but it should work.

Following the account for years now, I just LOVE how you're building the dream RC for all of us. Congratulations! Can't wait to hear this thing downshift and rev up!

The thing is, that Johnny‘s videos always take so much time to make that I take my extra time to watch it in full length because I love them so much

you might want to mix the clutch channel into the throttle. when on full brakes, clutch is fully disengaged. as brake is released, the clutch can move in and you could add some expo if needed to smooth it out.

​@@wedgie502it needs to be on some sort of analog/proportional control though, so it can slip just a bit to start from a dead stop. With his current controller, that little dial is probably about the only option he has. What he REALLY needs is a second trigger for just the clutch. I can see right now, running the clutch plus steering would be an awkward situation. You could easily do it with a 4+ channel aircraft transmitter, it'd definitely take some getting used to though as you'd need 3 channels just for propulsion/braking, and only one for yaw/steering.

I love the way this project slowly unfolds. It just keeps getting better!

This has got to be one of the coolest things ive ever seen. I never thought id see a manual RC car, a V8RC car, running coolant, radiator with thermostat, remote start, disk breaks, a real clutch, and just too much to name. This thing is off the charts bud. Freakin awesome. Well done

As an automotive student, This has becone one of my favorite channels that I subscribed to. Although its small scale Vehicles,the engines are quite realistic. I really really like your Videos and I can relate to what I learn in College to what I see in your Videos! Please continue doing content like this. I truly appreciate and enjoy watching them.

Now you need a button (on the controller) that locks the front brakes (only), so you can do some sweet & smokey burnouts!

the way how you film yourself doing these wonderful craftmanship jobs is simply amazing. You are the example I want to follow in my KZread adventure!

Always a treat to watch a upload from the mad machinist at work !! Thx Johnny 👍👍😎

Crazy the difference in complexity with gas vs electric. Your build skills are impressive!

State of the art of engineering. Almost as complicated as our own car minus the fuel injection. Bravo !

Thanks Johnny for doing what you do, this channel is amazing, and your comments seem to be filled with helpful enthusiastic engineers and bewildered laymans like me !

Always an educational experience. Thank you for sharing your passion for Miniature engines and R/C cars with us.

This is truly the stuff of my dreams. Love it, tyvm for keeping us updated along the journey!!!

I always look forward to new videos. Wish I had half the knowledge and skill you do. Epic as always.

Thanks for sharing your craft & love for rc cars . I enjoy watching you design, build & work on your dream.

Cnc machining is always so satisfying

Always good to see what your up to Johnny. Thanks so much for sharing

Watching any of your videos just makes me smile and simply amazed by all the innovations. Just imagine how many people you have inspired with your videos. Only thing is we all wish for more and their are over way to quick! Thanks for sharing your expert craftsmanship and knowledge!

It looked like you were getting a little smoke when you were spinning the tires. That thing is really awesome!

Machinist are amazing. Love the trade. I don’t know why I love to surface grind so much. Tool and die is a dying breed.

LANCIA D50 Formula One body on that chassis, it even sounds like one! Super R&D!

Johnny some steel wool inside the exhaust box should cut down the oil but as it’s still a nitro model engine you’ll never be able to get rid of it completely as most nitro mix runs 18-20% caster or synthetic oils. Keep up the good work loving the builds

If you had the same large machinery....you can build your own car.....amazing Launched too many times and blew the clutch lol

It is nice to have knowledge and all those tools looks great. Keep it up and good luck out there

Looking good. Can't wait to see it out on the test road for a proper run

You have built a front mid-engine, V8, rear transaxle, RWD, high-end sports car. I love it!

Been waiting YEARS to see this very drive test. Bravo.

Nice! Seems like you're getting all the engineering kinks worked out. Keep going! I think it would be cool to see the v12 in a monster truck platform.

Next, a dual clutch auto😂

So satisfying to watch. Chapeau Johnny!

Amazing work, love the little skid marks

Awesome job brother! I really love this build 👍👍👍👍

Actual tyre smoke is epic!!! Can't wait tonsee this tuned, it's going to be a beast!!

Sounds like a nascar, beautifull, you better get a nascar shell 😉 Love this project man

Absolutly stunning what you have done. I'm really excited to see your next video...

sweet build! thanks for posting

1941 Hudson Pickups have what they call a Safety Clutch. They look like a torque converter. The cone is aluminum with 1" diameter cork disks running in a special lubricant similar weight to ATF.

Can't wait for new plumbing and gearbox, a full-send take off next !😊 adapt and innovate😊

Awesome as usual! A few points i see as weak. -The suspension spring perches are not well supported, they will bend. -The thermostat is located in an area of low coolant circulation, once the engine will be at operating temp, the fluid will stop to flow in the expansion tank, then it will cool down under your set point and the fans will stop, overheating the engine. - The transmission is nice, but will fail fast as it is not lubricated and cooled. -Your clutch is also exposed to intrusion of oil from the engine leaks, it will slip and burn. What you should do is a racing seat with 3 pedals, steering and shifter all linked to your remote/car. So you could actually drive it like a real car. That would be very nice. As always, i am very impressed by your designs and dedication. A work of art. Can't wait for new developments.

Holy moly, I love where this project is going!

Wow! I'm just so excited to see this thing working. And not to speak of the hard take off:s with some wheelspinn. 😁

Loving this build. I was surprised to see just how well that Zippo lighter fuel bottle turned into a muffler XD. I'm sure there will be less oil discharging once you tune the engine a bit leaner.

The little beast is looking and sounding quite mighty!

Incredible work. Wow

This has been so much fun to watch come together. Watch your shin been there done that.

Probably best to be a wet clutch setup since it will take no time to blue your cone. Maybe retrofit a video game racing chair and fpv screen with the appropriate knobs and sensors placed throughout instead of using a hand controller.

Awesome video. You are an artist.
