And now his released video of his Prius eCVT. Will be obviously be a bit different from the Tech Teachers heavier-duty all cleaned up display model.
I actually like been in-use thousands of hours tear-downs better as showing the blood-guts&feathers working conditions realities. You know . . . the road dirts, grits and filths kept on the outsides. The heat and wear accumulations kept retained on the insides.
Note the thinner motors sections from the lighter chassis. Using a multi-link chain transfer drive.
Neat he is showing the actual rare earth magnets.

Well Ill put this here. I thought I would be the first to put a gasifier in an RC truck. This dude beat to it and did a really great job on his build.
This is my 74 square body. I have started Ultimate Scale RC and produce a kit create this truck from an existing and very popular RC platform from RC4WD.
Thatâs kind of freaky Matt. I canât figure out why the terrain looks in scale to the truck size and where do all the little tools in the bed come from. Also how did it get all crusty looking.
LOL yeah these builders have some crazy skills. 3D printing has changed the game with the RC hobby. Yeah weathering these things is a thing and an art. They have all kinds of ways they do that. Some will take metal flakes from a band saw and stick that to the bodies, then add salt and water. Then they paint over it. Then you sand areas you want to expose the rust.
You still can 1-up that guy, you could build a charcoal gasifier, and feed one of those rc airplane engines. but the gas ones are 2-cycle, and mostly used for planes that are 10lbs or larger, which I suspect is a fairly large plane.
After looking at the prices for some of the stuff⌠I would probably decide to just let the guy with the fake one win.
