If You Make A Tiny Car This Fast You Can Drive On Water!
If You Make A Tiny Car This Fast You Can Drive On Water!-June 2024
2024-02-19 EST 22:13:19

There’s nothing wrong with grown men liking R/C cars! At least I hope not, because I could watch these things all day. Check out this adorable little truck springing over a jump, landing in a lake, and just keep on driving!

For my fellow R/C nerds; this truck is a Traxxas Slash 4X4 on paddle tires, normally used for sand. Turns out they turn the vehicle into a pretty decent boat, too. Otherwise it’s stock, with the company’s (literally traction control for a toy car), high-speed gearing and a Power Cell 3s LiPo battery.

Anybody willing to find some paddle tires and try this with your adult-sized truck? Don’t do it, but do it and send us the video. But don’t do it. (Do it.) Be safe please.

Hat tip to FutureSpeed!

The Land Rover Defender Is Dead
The Land Rover Defender Is Dead
Pour one out for the Land Rover Defender. Surrounded by more than 700 current and former employees from the Solihull plant, the last one ever rolled off the assembly line today. The Land Rover Series: 1948-2016. We have no reason to be sad. That last date actually puts a smile...

This Ford F-150 Prototype Sure Sounds Like A Diesel
This Ford F-150 Prototype Sure Sounds Like A Diesel
What do we have here? You hear that? That sounds like a diesel in a mule. We’ve heard pretty confident rumors before about Ford’s interest in developing a diesel F-150 model, and this new video seems to feature just that. Check out the clattery noise and custom panels of the...

Redneck Off-Roaders With Their Own Reality TV Show Is Peak 'Murica
Redneck Off-Roaders With Their Own Reality TV Show Is Peak 'Murica
Diesel Brothers is the latest iteration of walking caricatures fed through a procedural reality-TV meat grinder. Think Fast N Loud with a little more Larry The Cable Guy. I’m ashamed to admit I enjoy watching it. My colleague Tavarish already did such a great job explaining , but I will...

This Is The Only Way To Treat A Museum's Ultimate Off-Road Vehicle
This Is The Only Way To Treat A Museum's Ultimate Off-Road Vehicle
Jonathan Ward’s outfit takes ratty old Land Cruisers and completely retools them. We’re talking scratch-built frames, huge supercharged V8s, and painstaking attention to detail with stratospheric price-tags to match. We figured nobody could bare to beat up on a vehicle like that. We figured wrong. You might have already heard...

Truck Loses Tug Of War So Hard It Bends A Tie Rod Like A Banana
Truck Loses Tug Of War So Hard It Bends A Tie Rod Like A Banana
A tug of war between two trucks—what could go wrong? This poor C/K driver watched as his factory tie rod bent like a twig (or a banana, as the announcer called it) when he tee’d up against a newer Ford. Remind me to never do a tug of war in...
