The recovery vehicle is the star of the show 😁. Appreciated your time for this vid. I’m sure after this vid you will be taking the car apart , regrade or replaced all the bearings. Thanks for Sharing. Much appreciated 😀

@RCKnockout Год назад

The Ruko definitely came in handy….I did take it all apart to clean it and lubricate everything

@williamstrachan 26 дней назад

I think the recovery vehicle worked better upside-down tbh. Good effort, even though it didn't really go to plan at all!

@josephroman7396 Год назад

The Paddle Tires are facing the wrong way. If you watch Traxxas’s video on how to hydroplane, they say face the wheels the opposite ways so that the paddles push the water down and away, instead of digging into it.

@RCKnockout Год назад

You’d have to give me a link to that video….I couldn’t find any “how to hydroplane” video from Traxxas

@eddietorres486 Год назад

U need a constant speed of atleast 35mph or faster... and a smooth transition. Too much bounce is taking you below the needed speed to stay hydroplaning

@RCKnockout Год назад

Yeah the bounce on the entry is killing my momentum

@Tad3r Год назад

The tires are under the body on a slashthe water has nowhere to go. Try without the body

@RCKnockout Год назад

That is a fair point….but the only thing holding the styrofoam in place is the body….also all the videos I’ve seen online the body is on when they are doing the hydroplane

@wrenchingoncars1884 Год назад

Idk man, I think that when you went the last time and Slash died half way, at that point, dirty water or not, I would have walked in and got it. As for the recovery truck, that thing did amazing. You pushed it to its limit doing things it's not meant too. I applaud the recovery truck. Also for being ill prepared Slash did make it accross and that was great to see. Keep up the good work.

@mitymike Год назад

I would change over to the Traxxas tires and learn how to hydroplane on a puddle before trying to cross a pond with the slash. Also you should secure the flotation foam better so it doesn't shoot out the side if the truck tips in the water

Those are all good points

@wolfiecrawlsrc58 Год назад

A slight modifications to the front bumper would help, the xmax has a much larger chassis a plate covering the bottom would definitely assist in keeping the front end up, as soon as the water fills the body you have a drag net. Interesting and cool experiment, gotta confess I’m not going to be attempting this.

@RCKnockout Год назад

Yeah it’s definitely risky….I think the plate would probably get in the way though…..all the videos I’ve seen online….the Slash’s were all stock aside from paddles and floatation devices

@joserizo5851 Год назад

Maybe you can tie a piece of string to the bumper so you can just pull it back in quicker in case it stops on the next attempt

That might not be a bad idea….it would have to be very thin string though…..otherwise it might hinder the machine in the water

Oh man this is awsome!!! G r eat video. I want to do this with mine using the monster 2.8 pro line paddles.

@RCKnockout Год назад

Thanks man! Yeah I think it might work better with 2.8 paddles

@adriananderson304 Год назад

It's not just paddled you need you need to have an amphibious bottom boat design so it has resistance to bounce off the waves and weights so that it can float smoothly with the paddles will move it was momentum and force the truck and torque so get it right when I get back

@michaelclement4961 Год назад

You can’t jump it into the water. I have the best luck driving off the bank straight onto the water. Well it works for my Xmaxx

@RCKnockout Год назад

It’s much more difficult…..I’ve done it before with my Xmaxx off that same dock…..that’s why I started there…..I think the tires are just too small on the slash though…..the bounce into the water just kills all the momentum

@venomrogue1 Год назад

It’s just water. Strip down and go get it…lol. Don’t film it tho 😂 Or bring a boat with you…even a blow up type Styrofoam will water log. Probably what happened as to why the slash looked like it was sinking.

@RCKnockout Год назад

That’s true…the water was gross though lol 😂

@jah-jah87 Год назад

Put the Styrofoam inside front and rear bumper, you got more than enough space and should help keep the nose and rear floating
