AWD Moto-Hybrid Nissan Leaf Lapping at Streets of Willows CW Feb 5th 2023
Edited from multiple camera positions over a few sessions to try to make it more interesting. My best lap times were around 1m30s, but I was mostly there to try to explore the car at the limit and find out what it would do when pushed. Notice at 1:04 that the car isn't accelerating as the EV system is not allowing it -- pulling 30kw (or more?) regen and keeping the car at 98mph.
Engine is from a 2008 Kawasaki ZX10R running the rear wheels via chain drive. Front is stock Leaf 80kw electric powertrain.

A match was staged between a repaired Season 2 version of Complete Control and "Bullard Bot" which was a thinly disguised middleweight "Bumper Bawt". It was the only other Canadian robot to compete in Season 2, and was tragically unsuccessful. Yes, the scrolling LED banner was a feature of the original machine. Shot at the historic Masonic Temple.

how can i find you on instagram
@derekbruceyoung
This is what a femboy should moan
Now we need BattleBots Season 2.0 middleweight consolation rumble one on youtube
Chiabot completely dominated that fight with that awesome vegetation. It clearly outgrew Complete Control which did not even push up a sprout during that event.
The way him introduced sunshine lollibot 1:19
Never should have come at him with the rear sound move on paper but horrible in execution
i could watch bad attitude zipping around all day
Pressure Drop feels like a direct precursor to modern day Chomp
Was Derek Young deaf to hear the whistle and the congo?
Was this Round 1 or Quarter finals?
Not round one, I don't remember more than that -- maybe final? I recall the builder of AA talking a big game before the event...
Hazard like the cat playing with it's food b4 it kills it. Tombstone in the new series the same way✊️👊🤛🤜💯💢💥💤
thats san francisco on ramp, headed toward the bay bridge and 101
you can share project?
What do you want to know?
this is Nissan LEAF GTR R34
Stock 108hp 280nm. What EV Default ?
Didn't know this footage was still around. Actually came here after running across the LeafZX video and recognizing the name.
Glad you found it Grayson! Hope all is well with you.
@@DerekYoungdby Derek hows it going lol, I saw that you came to Newfoundland and speeded on an exit ramp onto a highway in what I believe is a Datsun in Marystown, did you remember vaguely what you did in Newfoundland or anything?
@@classiclyricsofyourfaves5734 yes, Newfoundland was great -- I raced the Targa Newfoundland in my Datsun 510 back in 2007. I'd love to come back some time. Here's another clip of my car: czcams.com/video/pvbEg1iipog/video.html
He did you ever get around to building Spinerette or completing the design at all?
That sounds HILAROUS at 0:03!!!!
so so sick! how come the motor doesn’t resist the extra acceleration from the engine, i figured it would put up a fight
Thanks! They're both providing positive torque so they're helping each other out. Think two people on the same tug-of-war team. The Leaf motor just thinks it's driving down a really steep hill all the time.
@@DerekYoungdbycan't you get regen too? Sounds excellent, I've a busa in a seven.. 👍 Can't beat the experience
@@terrybrown6057 yes, regen works -- it's how the battery stays charged, and thanks!
omg okay Derek you have regenerative too !! thats marvelous !!!!! I want someting like that for SURE !
Wait do you only have to hit the clutch shifts for the downshifts? Why is that?
Motorcycle sequential gearbox+ quick shifter allows for this. There's a switch on the shift knob that cuts ignition when the lever is pulled back which unload the transmission and allows for clutchless no-lift upshifts.
@@DerekYoungdby Genius! Thanks for the answer! Why can't it do the same for downshifts?
@@jama211 well I was today years old when I learned people clutchless downshift on bikes. I've never tried it!
@@DerekYoungdby Yes it needs a quick blip of the throttle to increase the revs for the new gear, a bit harder to automate than just cutting the ignition
@@connerlabs Makes sense!
It is so cool
Good to see this and inspirational. I am already scouring the Leaf in Scandinavia for a donor. I was originally looking at liquid cooling a Twizy battery, BMS and Outlander PHEV rear Motor. This is a much better idea.
Make sure it's a 2013+, more support in the hacking community and the charger doesn't need to be moved to fit an engine in the back. Good luck!
Beyond badass right here!!! Let's get this car some visibility and hit the likes! Making me look at prius's differently now 😆
Please add the cam view of dashboard. We should see the speed range also.
Might be faster without all the electric stuff once it runs out of juice. Sounds astonishing!
The engine has an alternator that provides power for the electric motor. I wonder if the battery pack is standard size.
This is the coolest project I have seen all year!!! now just add a turbo and you will really fly. You have inspired me, my next project will be a parallel hybrid just like this! Well done
Thanks! The next move for the car is an upgraded inverter that will nearly double the EV hp (110->200!). Looking forward to seeing what you come up with!
I'm on the EV bandwagon, but God that's a nice result for the three donors. Great project.
LOVE IT! So satisfying to see it RIP! I think we need to get together sometime and show off our builds side by side!
I can't wait for manufacturers to embrace this concept! Performance plug in hybrids with tiny high revving engines and beefy EV powertrain are going to be the future of high performance!
You were in Battlebots?? That is so sick!
Still am! battlebots.com/cast/
I saw this on Superfast Matt’s channel and thought I’d love to see you do this with an older car, like an Austin 1100, Karmann Ghia, MGA or a 1932 Ford. Can you imagine a 1932 Ford coupe with a blown Zetec, battery, motor/generator, transmission and computer, etc? At the strip and through the twisty bits, you run the Ford Zetec or Ecoboost and charge the battery as you drive. When you need it for everyday use, you use the motor. When you need to travel a long distance, you stick the Zetec on.
My original plan was to do a Civic EF hatch or Wagovan with EV front, bike engine engine rear but that would have been a much larger/longer project. And you really want to use both power trains at the same time for maximum fun.
@@DerekYoungdby I forgot to mention the two drivetrains together.
@@DerekYoungdby Those cars don’t have any character or personality.
@Chris Henniker Neither does a Smart fortwo but I get millions of views and likes 🤣🤣🤣
that is awesome. How did you sort the dial for the balance between the motor and engine? Canbus programming? Did you write it or know a place that can custom code?
Arduino (Ruggeduino actually) monitoring the leaf throttle position and the blend/boost knob value and then sending commands to the Dynamixel servo over RS485 through a shield. No canbus interface for this.
@@DerekYoungdby do you have any videos on how that works or how that system is built? Im at the stage in my humvee build where my electronics knowledge falls short of my creativity
@@sdalin27 no, sorry, but the Arduino stuff is pretty straightforward. Lots of documentation out there. Are you trying to build a drive by wire throttle?
@@DerekYoungdby No- have built a LT1/8 speed humvee with junkyard BMW 750Li seats. trying to control lights/turn signals since the lamps use the same filament for brake and turn signal, Secondly trying to get use out of my Jaguar F-Pace steering wheel buttons which I think are interpreted via resistance levels controlled by resistor paths on the steering wheel board
@@sdalin27 sounds cool, but that's out of my wheelhouse. Good luck with the project!
I wish they could bring this bots back and show the new school some of what the old school can do
Sick!
So rad.
wild, well done
Amazing!! Thanks @superfastMatt for sending me here.
This is in SF!! I need to see this in person!!
Fantastic!
I love this so much, if i saw a Nissan leaf screaming past me on the highway my jaw would hit the floor! Do you have to change anything at the DMV? I guess since they don't smog motorcycles it shouldn't matter
Beautiful engineering man
For some reason this feels a bit wrong to say, but I genuinely think this is cooler than a GR Yaris.
That thing must fly, considering EVs are made to be efficient and aerodynamic to have a chance at getting decent range.
Please please please do a build breakdown on this I have always loved hybrids of this kind (esp the ones that use bumpstart like lmdh) like the one Sahsa Anis has, 350z Hybrid KERS I really wanna see more out of the car Please do a build breakdown
Brilliant 👍👍
SuperfastMatt sent me.
By the end of the month, this comment will have so many 'thumbs up'... ;-)

How did you build it?
Coolest shifter EVER! just such a cool idea (the build) build series???
