propeller cars
 

¿someone tried to make a hibrid car using a big motor and a plane propeller?

I saw vids in youtube but I dont find any post of this projects.....

at this moment I making one:

-1/8tt ofna hyper 8 pro chasis
+castle neu 1717 motor
+mamba monster esc
+3-6s 45-90c lipos
+10x10 or 12x10 plane propeller


soon photos/vids :yes:

would work well in an on road RC... she really boogied well...

A member on here Shonen used a ducted fan on one of his trucks, thing scooted around pretty well actually. Check around, he has a thread with all his builds.

thanks ........ I found the post and one vid...........

soon photos/vids

WOW!!! That has ALOT more get up and go than other setups I have seen. Put some stubby wings on it with control surfaces and try to take off a jump :D

pretty cool man. i like what you got goin.

whats the max rpm at full throttle? you may be overtaking the useable rpm of the prop with a motor like that on there. as long as its below 12000 it should be alright though.

That is freaking awesome.

I love it, makes me want to make one.

thanks..... soon we will measure the max mph ....... and is possible we will use 9-12s :whip::whip::whip::whip:

wow, that thing has a bunch more kick than my EDF-powered projects. Buggy chassis much lighter than monster truck. :yipi:

how do you like the handling with all that weight behind its rear axle? my TT-01 handles like crap with its fan hanging behind its ass :mdr: Even if it handles badly though, there's nothing like building something unconventional and taking a break from the norm. :yes:

A 1717 on 6s is 35k rpm, quite a way out of the efficiency range of a direct drive propeller (the air version is a heli motor, after all). My EDF setups have smaller blades and lower Kv motors, which is why I can crank them to 26k rpm and still have them thrust well.

Oh well. As long as you're having fun. :lol:

Try a wood prop. You'll get more thrust at higher rpm because it won't flex as much under it's own force. There will be higher A draw on the system as a result so watch temps.

thanks ........ more tests:
