RC Boat With Onboard Camera Sinking – Traxxas Villain And Popsicle Stick Boat


An old broken and worn out radio control speed boat is sunk in the lake instead of being put out for the trash man. An onboard camera was put on to record the sinking.It was attached with velcro and tethered with a fishing line in order to recover the camera. A good pull ripped the velcro apart once the boat had sunk. I used my popsicle stick rc tugboat to pull it out to the site where it would be sunk. Please see my other videos for a video of that boat with an onboard camera. Once at the site, the duct tape that covered the holes that were drilled in the hull was pulled off and it began to sink. Only the tug made it back to shore. *** IF YOU’RE INTERESTED IN MODEL TRAINS, CHECK OUT MY HO TRAIN DISPLAY SHELVES ON EBAY.

    epic.. my mrs said to me, what the hell are you watching right as kermit was in frame.
    I was getting all emotional with the sad music and pictures of the boat in it pride lol.
    Nice video buddy, it was put together well.
    Also what camera did you use for the onboard footage?

    @999benhonda i think thats a bit of an over statement still good movie tho

  3. barrown1990 says:

    @iamevan771 i see your point but my rc ships are my pride and joy. i put so much work in to them that seeing the glide along a lake or pond makes it all worth it

    I used to have the same Traxxas boat back in the 1980s and had hours of fun swapping gear ratios on the drive to get the maximum speed, turning hollow aluminm tubes around the motors to keep them cool, swaping the magnetic brushes as they wore out, having an auxilary water pump to cool the engines while it was sitting stil and speeding around the nearby ponds until finally it gave out. I admire your devotion to a once great hero. I thought I was the only fanattic

  15. ShabogamoLakeRider says:

    You should have made a little bouy for it. To mark the sight.

  16. kelccod says:

    It was not just a boat to rc people they are companions they are a part of you they are never forgotten like family

  21. thewindow6 says:

    Really really beautiful!!!

  22. DMCRokka says:

    i would have kept the old speedboat body as a companion item. take the tug popsicle boat to rc boat meets, and have the body as a tow behind item while u r there.

  23. TheCasualTim says:

    now get a rc submarine and go look at its final resting place

  24. iamevan771 says:

    jeezus this is the most depressing song i have ever heard! i never thought an rc boat could mean so much to somebody

  25. ProductionsNolimits says:

  27. XXXTITEXXX says:

    it is insanely sick truck.it gets 10 times more use than my savage.snapped a shaft tho today and i am pretty sad:(

  28. idog678 says:

    does it still work after the water?

  29. mxmaniac6 says:

    For poeple who think the summit is slow, there actually not that slow. they go maybe 25 mph.

  30. TheGrenadercat says:

    i like it but the bodies ugly!!!

  31. c4rdsh4rk says:

    @jordodj hell ya me too i think .. will work well enough in my backyard monster truck truck and also be good for longer drives at decent speeds. versatile for sure.

  32. jordodj says:

    I wanted a electric monster truck that could crawl hit speeds and jump and completely waterproof and i just found it! i am getting this

  33. lamaymusic says:

    been following Traxxas since 86 and its amazing what they are doing!!!!

  34. 84foxracing says:

    how much is that truck?

  35. earthling1984 says:

    very cool!

  36. olegkuznetcov says:

    ЗДОРОВО!!!

  37. alextroch says:

    @VideoGamePlayer12 its water proof and you can change gears/ lock your front and/or back diffs with your remote and prob not

  38. MartyCortez says:

    @VirusTornado you can adjust the Suspention for your own preffrence

  39. MartyCortez says:

    @VideoGamePlayer12 with all the differences then a Revo its not the same Revo is more for racing this is for bashing and crawling slower then the Revo so you break less parts

  40. MartyCortez says:

    @durwank i had the same problen … dont know why either Im still looking for answers

  41. hiddenasskiker says:

    wow u can drive in that deep water that is amazing

  42. VideoGamePlayer12 says:

    Isnt a summit pretty much just an e revo with a slower internal gear ratio, 2 speed transmission, different motor, tires, body and locking diffs? or is there more? Any suggestions on how to raise my e revo up to the hight of a summit?

  43. sweetmonkeylove1 says:

    That thing makes my jeep (real and built) look like a little bitch! AWESOME!

  44. forbenj1 says:

    @VirusTornado it needs shock oil replacement

  45. corazon2169 says:

    movie

  46. xboxluva22 says:

    replace the shock oil

  47. TheOfficialKC says:

    That’s what I thought after watching videos. Looks like it needs stiffer springs to keep the suspension extended for better ground clearance.

  48. VirusTornado says:

    I LOVE THE SUMMIT, but the only problem is the suspension because after sometime the car’s ride hight goes down and you can see that in the vid, but still AWESOME!

  49. durwank says:

    I ran mine in some water yesterday ( didn’t submerge it though ) and after it got wet it seemed to have a problem with going into reverse. It would take me 2-3 trys to get it to back up. The brakes would work fine but when I would try the reverse nothing would happen on the first try. Strange? Has this happened to anyone else?

  50. daivik1994 says:

    they are two completely different cars! the summit, is mainly a crawler. I would go savage because its so big and can handle anything
