About

I'm James! I make engineering videos πŸš€ Answers to some common questions: 1. I learned almost everything by building models as a kid. 2. I don’t have an engineering degree, as in school I found maths quite difficult. Everything is self-taught! 3. My first RC plane was a Super Cub, which I still have to this day. 4. I drive a Mini. 5. The other people who help make these videos are Emma (who assists with building all sorts of things), Hannah (who films the big tests), and other friends who enjoy helping out from time-to-time. 6. My #1 top tip for getting into this stuff is to build model kits! Subscribe!

Video Description

I built an RC car 100% powered by solar cells.

Technical specs of the finished car Solar Cell Power - 168w Length - 3400mm Width - 270mm Thanks to Arrma for the Limitless and spare Arrma parts.
