On this thrilling episode of Tomley RC, our intrepid host embarks on a daring quest to create the longest RC car known to man. Drawing inspiration from a fellow RC enthusiast, Tomley sets out to achieve this feat on a budget, in stark contrast to the extravagant costs of his counterpart's creation. Armed with Hyper Go cars and a vision, he meticulously constructs the chassis, ensuring that the final product matches his own towering height of 6'1".
With a keen eye for detail, Tomley delves into the construction of the skis, uncovering the layers that make up these essential components. As the build progresses, he fine-tunes the suspension, steering, and electronics, aiming for a perfect balance of stability and speed. Despite encountering minor setbacks during testing, such as a broken steering link and suspension issues, Tomley's determination and expertise shine through as he pushes the limits of his creation.
The culmination of his efforts is "Long Boy," a marvel of engineering crafted from foam board and wood, embodying both form and function. Through rigorous testing on various terrains, Long Boy proves its mettle, showcasing impressive speed and resilience. As the dust settles from exhilarating jumps and high-speed runs, Tomley sets his sights on future upgrades, teasing the arrival of "Fast Boy" and hinting at even greater feats to come in the world of RC car innovation.
