Kev, thats a great idea! You should make another super powered, bench mounted, wheel spinner with some protective glass shielding, and let subscribers submit wheels to see what can withstand the most rpm and abuse. Would be great content and almost free r&d on your way to 250mph.

DUDE!! Mad respect to you. You are juggling so many things all at once and the fact that you still film videos for us to enjoy is absolutely incredible. Keep doing what you're doing and I can't wait to see all the stuff you're trying to get to

Classic Kev- "its geeky, its slow.... BUT WE ARE GOING TO PUT 6S to IT!"🤣 Always fun to watch!

[rcocm]

Just keep on keeping on Kev... some people just won't understand, but even they will soon realise the 'channel organisation' means more of everything... it's going to be absolutely EPIC!!

Kevin, with your planes you might find the bigger ones are easier to fly as they have more power and authority in the air whereas the smaller ones are fast, twitchy and difficult to fly well, you might be best to stick to minimum 40 size planes before moving up or down in scale.

Kevin you need a bead blaster for the MT tires. It's basically an air tank with a big dump valve that goes to a fanned bell output. It pushes so much air so fast it sets the bead. There's a channel on here called Tire Doctor if you want to learn more

[logansmith]

I just got hooked on planes they are so fun. I’ve had all the cars once you learn how to fly and not crash, it’s no comparison.

Kev- pro tip for tire repair kits - use liquid rubber cement to lube the plug when inserting it. And auger it out with the rasp real well beforehand.

You could also use the fire method to set the bead on the truck tire. Might make a good video. *BOOM*

[MightyCalves]

Looks like lot of fun videos coming, Kev! Really excited for the planes and speed truck contest!

[BigD]

My son is absolutely STOKED to watch your new jet plane video right now!

You can rebead the tire with an explosion. Get a match on a stick, or a welding torch sparker, a ferrocerrium rod, bbq lighter etc..., then grab some starting fluid or similar, spray a bunch into the tire and ignite it, the explosion will seat the bead, there are some good videos of tractor or 4x4 tires being reseated with this method, I have done it a few dozen times and it's quite effective.
There is also an "air cannon" that used to perform the same task by blasting a large volume of air into the tire. I don't know that it would be powerful enough to seat such a large tire, but may be worth looking into. Also, put a ratchet strap around the outside of the tire, tighten it up to push the bead out closer to the rim can be helpful in getting it to seat just using your air compressor.

The scale semi / Laurie race with a trailer is something I’d love to see!

Creating an all aluminum wheel does improve rigidity over plastic, but they tend to have more weight in them. In my experience, they create a lot of vibration even with the slightest imbalances.

My idea of a custom wheel that could work with the speed car, is to create a 2pc wheel setup. Aluminum spokes, plastic barrel.

[TastierBackInThes]

Kev, anything with thrust vectoring behaves like a helicopter, so does some 3D flying you should be fine. Also bigger the plane the easier it is to fly. That SR71 though, maybe make it your 3rd or 4th model to fly.

[winstonsmasterplan]

Going 250mph in the sausage is literally the only thing you should be focused on, it’s an epic project and the previous videos felt like you was gonna achieve it!

[cquad]

Get a can of starter fluid for engines. Spray it inside the tire and throw a match in it. The explosion will set the bead. Do it outside though. It works good!

[cogboy]

Weight isn't really an issue with the speed sossige, full size lakes racers often load the cars up with lead ballast to try prevent wheelspin and keep the cars on the ground, so I'd reckon aluminium wheels with solid rubber tyres bonded on might be the way forward.

As an aside, I have a friend at Santa Pod who is an ex-marshal who crewed at the Pod. He's also a retired engineer who specialised in making moulds. Turns out he designed the moulds for all of Schumacher's off road 1/10th scale tyres in the early '90s. He also designed moulds for plastic trim bits of Jaguars, Bentleys and Rolls Royces.

[multistratus]

It looks amazing 👌🏻 I love your videos, so special

[aussiedigger]

Very nice Kev! Can't wait to see you fly plane's.. remember helis are much harder!
