I'm restoring my old rc car that I had for the last 15 years, and I'm upgrading its engine with a much larger one. Old one is 0.6hp while the new one is 3.5hp. I'm also changing the gearing for higher top speed.

I think it would be the freakin coolest thing ever if you did a series making a miniature v8 engine. Feel like it would be possible with your milling machine.

TheHAHA199 scale v8’s are bigtime lacking in the hp department. For an rc car he’d be better off to build a 2stroke miniature version of the yamaha rz350 motor.

Can you stop with the 2005 cliche? It makes no sense. It's like you guys really don't understand the fact that we have a volume knob just as you do... you are also assuming that we have the volume all the way up at all times. I watched through the whole video without any bit of ear rape. Seems like the only one that noticed it, was the one not wearing headphones.

This brought me back to my childhood... I had a Mugen MTX-3 and an HPI R40. For me, working on the aluminum and carbon and fine adjustments of everything gave me a deep appreciation for precision works and mechanical grip, racing, etc. I never got super great at racing these cars for more than fun, but still they inspired a great passion within myself for cars and all things precision. Now I work on MRI & CT systems, and built a pretty nice turbo Prelude which is on my channel. Sadly I sold my Mugen but still have the R40, and if I ever have a kid I will surely do a "rebuild" like this with them! Thanks for the upload!!
I love how this is a showcase of all the tools and equipment Johnny's made on the channel so far, like the tapping stand and the fume extractor vent.
The motor mount fabrication was my favorite part! Cool restoration!
We're ready for PART 2!!!!!
Love your Lathe and milling machine work, every R/C user should have one.
Oh the ending is just too sweet! BEAUTIFUL work
Perfect work!!!
Holy moly nostalgia! The first body I purchased for my nitro r/c was an E46 M3...then an E39 M5. :D
So you basically just built an entire new RC car :D

Awesome restoration, with a tasty engine upgrade! I want to see it run!
Can't believe how a ts4n can last all this time, i have mine since i was 5 years old and now it has 11 years, i just have to change the belts and some plastic piece, the rest is fine and the engine runs really well
I absolutely love these videos it’s eye candy to me! Keep up the innovation man🤙🏼
Looks great again! Would love to see a part 2 ;)
I would love to see it run 😍
Been watching on Instagram. Nice work! 🙂👍
Thunder Tiger Ts4n! Have one for 18 years! It was my first nitro 1/10. Great rc for the money back in the old days! Raced it in competition 2 times just for fun and won a second and a first place! So after years i bought the first traxxas revo 2.5R at the time an some how manage to swap the engine from the revo to the ts4n. Crazy fast fun until the gears eventually went to rc heaven.. After watching your video makes me want to bring this thing back to life! Thanks for sharing and were's part 2 and running video?? :D
I would’ve personally upgraded the hardware to hex drive in titanium, and those s3003 servos are basic.. some upgraded brushless servos are sweet. And a custom carbon fiber top plate/radio tray would be really trick.

Bluebird servos are cheap as chips, much better upgrade. Much faster and higher torque. A good servo is not a useless upgrade. With all that extra power especially, it would make the car easier to control and obviously more responsive to inputs. Why be content with just functioning when it could function better?

wait people think a $150 or $160 is a lot for a good servo? lol. its worthh buying them having a slow servo or one with no torque sucks.

Awesome bro !!! I love rc ! I absolutly seeing how u restor ur old one 😍😍
Sick. Love it. Also, that's a crystal AM receiver? Holy jesus that IS old.
Just love the CNC work!
finally these awsome engines are getting put to use, i wanna see the rotary in an rc rx7
Love the TS-4N chassis... Great reliability... It refuses to die...
Can't wait for Part 2. It is going to be a beast just to control! :) Cheers.
Awesome love restoring old nitro rc 👍🏽
Great vid, very nicely done. Thx for sharing👍

Great Hobby. I love RC and Nitro
Watching the servo install, it looked to me as if the car now has a Gyro and Auto -corrects over steer? Nice job Johnny! Look forward to part 2.

I know torque is a total different story but that bigger engine is like.. half the horsepower of a ttr125. A whole ass dirt bike. That’s wild.
It's always fun to clean up an old dirty nitro they look very nice afterwords
more rc car videos please I love it!
Looks awesome love everything you do!!! You inspire me to be a professional tinkererer also can I have this nitro car on this video? It would be awesome 🤓

Another awesome build johnny it's unreal the things you fabricate cant wait for the next video
Very good Work RC MAN :) greets chris
That looks more like rebuilding rather than restoring.... Either way awesome job..👍love the older nitro RC's just finished a OFNA Monster pirate that is all stock original.
Good video! I like it. I'm going to rebuild my hpi rs4 3 evo this week, just waiting for my chassis to arrive. Can I ask you what products you used to clean the plastic parts, and what you used for the springs before you painted them? Thanks in advance!
Woaw, Nice Job 👍
I need this car Love your Channel Johnny you have my sub
Ohh yeah I have the same car (TS2N).. completely disassembled ^^ Maybe I would reassemble it again someday :D
Good work

Sick beginning beat
Don't use 4xAA battery! Get good 5x1.2V NiMH battery pack or 2x LiIon/LiFe plus 10A step down regulator. This servos under load with gyro will drain a lot of peak current = voltage drop. And pray that this belt will hold good with bigger engine :-)
Do some sick drift RC plz.
My moped has 3.5hp.... Love your videos man !
such underrated channel...
I have the same RC car lol. HPI RS4 I think it was... Mines has all the aliminum and carbon fiber upgrades. There was no plastic left on it. I finally bought a novarossi engine. It was considered "the ferrari" of nitro engines at the time. Used it a few times and didnt do this anymore. Girls and college more important. I still have it. Maybe one day I'll restore it. Last I tried, one of the servos didnt work.
Cool video
More videos like these please!
I have an old Kyosho with a broken engine mount, it's been in a cardboard box for about 15-16 years. Probably gonna stay in that box until the end of times.

Using AA-batteries is asking for trouble. Li-Fe receiver pack would be much better, safer and last longer. Cool project. Made me think about fixing up my Ofna 2WD 1/8 scale monster truck with a 3.5cc engine with around 1.2Hp.. :)
um salve do Brasil + like. interessante. e muito caro no meu país. parabéns.
WOW! 3.5 hp is a lot! My Rc car has just over 2 electric horsepower, wich is insane allready. I can only imagine how fast this one will be!
Nice video buy Holy crap warm a fool before the heavy machinery scared the crap out of me lol
Sir please make your videos as soon as possible Love you🙏🏼
Johnny, i really love your videos. Your machining and your ideas are awesome :D I always get some breakfast or lunch, then sit down to watch your video on my tv :D One thing, please get your audio straight xD I always get earraped as i turn up the volume for the music, then when the cnc machine comes, which is at "normal" level in your cutting programm it is extremely loud for me :D Try a more homogenous volume :D But thats just a small idea from me, I want to emphasize again, just how much i enjoy your videos man :D keep up the good work!
