Intromission: Homemade Highspeed Electric Car

If you've ever wanted to sample fashioning your own electric car, this is a very elliptic way to make a sopranino speed car out of common materials as well as a pair cheap things from an electronic store. No more outlay $30-$60 dollars connected RC cars, when you can make your have.

Advantageous, you produce the play out of the have!

Step 1: Gather Materials

For this project you volition need:

1. 9 volt battery + shelling plug

2. DC Motor

3. 8 Bottle caps

4. Roughly cardboard

5. Hot glue grease-gun or super glue

6. Scissors

7. Bamboo sticks and straws

9. Drill

10. Plastic gears

8. Nonobligatory: Connected/off switch

Step 2: Create the Wheels

If you're using a sweltering glue hit man, plow ahead and hype it in. Wait a couple proceedings for it to heat, and and so you can lead off. Take a pair of bottle caps originall, and mucilage on the edges of the sunken side for both caps and then glue it together to form wheels. Proceed to do this for all four pairs of nursing bottle caps (eight bottleful caps in total).

Step 3: Drilling

Instantly you can take your drill and drill lesser holes into the midway of ONLY ONE side of the rack. Make a point you are oil production into the center of the wheel equally best you can. You can label the center if you want to.

Ill-use 4: Forming the Base

You can laid aside your wheels for now, A you will be devising the base. Cut out a small rectangular basis of unreal, at most 6 inches, it shouldn't exist besides large (I clipped the unreal in the prototype). Take your plastic straws and lay tabu where you want the axles of your wheels to be. When you're satisfied, you buttocks gum them down. Get into't vex, you can trim them later.

Step 5: Gear System for Wheels

Attach bamboo sticks to your wheels, so you should at once give birth two bamboo sticks with four wheels on each end. Don't glue them yet, as you need to insert a plastic gear onto one of the sticks. Future, take your motorial and attach a gear onto the motorial shaft. Then visualize out a satisfactory positioning where the efferent's train is mesh with the gearing of the wheel around. When you're satisfied with everything, plow ahead and start gluing. And then now, when the motor spins, the gear on the irradiatio will turn the gear mechanism on the bamboo stick which wish twis the wheels and thus make the entire automobile move.

Maltreat 6: Attaching the Stamp battery and Finish Touches

Take the 9 volt assault and battery plug and plug it into your stamp battery. The slots should have alternating sockets and should be able to associate nicely. Incoming, line up a place to impound your assault and battery so that the wires from the battery chaw hind end reach the motor. When you find a satisfactory position, glue down the bombardment. Now is where you can use your switch if you want to. Take the red wire and connect it to the motor. The disastrous wire goes to the switch and goes from the switch to the motor. Later that, you'Re already done with the physical phenomenon components. Next, you can add some walls to your base to make your motorcar Thomas More aesthetically pleasing.

Pace 7: Testing

Now that you're done, you arse test your car. This video shows the exact layout of the railcar that I made. Also, reverse on youtube annotations.
