E-Revo 6 days underwater 

The absolute joy of getting it running again. Well done. We had one that went into salt water, we made one out of two and changed everything that moved and a few things that didn't.

That's why you put floats in your car

I am literally laughing my ass off at 5:30! Its just hilariously bad timing! Congrats on getting the E-revo back!

5:30 throws the hook and rope away very funny

Like new E-revo for sale!

That just goes to show how durable Traxxas tech is. Unfreakingbelievable.

So badass bros! So stoked you were able to recover that beast! Traxxas should be cutting you guys a check! Best advertising ever. Gotta get one now, I'm sold

I accidentally drove my mini Revo VXL into the shallow end of my pool (3ft deep) It was only there for about 10 seconds before i fished it out with the net, but unfortunately the receiver fried. So i took it apart and found the seal a bit off from factory, sent it to Traxxas support and told them it got submerged in a "deep puddle" (lol). but they replaced it and all I had to do was pay for shipping it to them.

And now he's got CHARACTER! Great story!

05:30 that guy made my day !!!! looool

Your photos demonstrate Traxxas engineering is so complex meaning brilliant. Respect for Traxxas cannot be overstated. Thanks for all those photos.

Surprising what people will do to save a $800 rc

when that person threw the 2nd hook and rope went with it... i clapped LOL

I fucking died when he threw the hook and the whole rope went with it, knowing how in his head he was just like fuck

Wow, that truck really started showing signs of rust for only 6 days under water. Glad you got it out! :)

E-Revo's sind halt sehr gute Autos ich selber habe den 1/16 und bin mega zufrieden👍

that's amazing. I have an e-revo brushless and never thought it could hold up to something like that with so few busted parts. stuff like this makes me very glad I bought one.

Very impressive. The guy with the glasses is the brains behind the rescue mission though! I laughed my butt off when the dark haired guy threw his recovery hook into the water before securing the other end. He should hold the camera for now on! LOL

U really do have a friend. from start to finish on your side. Oh yeah ... awesome vid.

Well done on getting it back I remember how gutted I was when my RC Car went under a milk lorry when I was a kid!

Wow so lucky to get it with the hook!!! Amazing! Well done with the rebuild. I really enjoyed the video. We have all done some not so smart stuff with our RCs. Great recovery!

Why did you turn left into the middle of the lake?

Amazing video and an amazing story! Really enjoyed watching this, good for you for never giving up...

SO GLAD YOU GOT YOUR CAR BACK!!!

Persistence pays off, nice work finding your car in the lake👍🏻

Awesome video guys! And thanks for sharing your story.

If finding that thing wasn't divine intervention, then you are the LUCKIEST guy in the world!! Imagine trying to grab it with the hook if there wasn't any water and you could actually see what you are doing. It would take most people more tries than it took you too grab it in these circumstances!! AMAZING

I can't believe you guys found the E REVO! Well done! thanks for sharing = )

Matze ist der Geilste Stoner LOL ist sicher lustig den als Freund zu haben haha alles zusammen eine super Aktion, Congrats!

Awesome video! Thank you for sharing.

Nice job on the clean up! Shows you really care about it!

Excellent video & intuitive very cool :-)

The second guy who threw the rope hahahahahaha

Looks like salt water? Awesome idea! Perhaps buy an RC boat?!

Dieses Video ist echt schon ne Legende. Jeder der im RC Bereich fährt , kennt das Video👍 Ne frage hab ich noch. Wann kommt denn Teil 2 raus ?

Bravo! Das vas wunderbar!

ha! und gleich wieder ab zum see!!! ;)) cooles video!

das ihr den wiedergefundwn habt ist das achte weltwunder

alter krasses ding. hab echt mitgezittert und freu mich für dich das du ihn wiedergefunden hast.

5:31 God damn it Karl

I love to see good friends they were so excited

Good job on getting your E-revo back

ah the sound of a win after long hours trying,well done on recovery

Ohh....Marco XDSchön, dass Ihr ihn gefunden habt.

Good job fellas, nice to see yous have fun in the water but take the time and care to clean and oil up your machine after you got it out of the water. Than on the test drive after you knew enough not to full throttle it till you knew everything was working properly, thumbs up to you both on a great job.

+ RC Stadion echt geiles Video die Geschichte ist echt krass :o ich glaube mein TT E-MTA hätte das nicht überstanden :D

Great job getting it back

Well done guys getting it back

Awesome story thanks for sharing !

Very lucky, my heart sunk when i seen that sink, hopefully lesson learned!

I am so glad you found it . Now ,Did we learn anything ???.LOL

5:30 einfach zu witzig ;D

im glad you got it back i was showing of a new quadcopter and it flew into the lake never to be seen again. On the other hand it did not have GPS positioning and my new one i would have to try and fly it into a lake so moral of the story is get a good one and you have less problems.

My buddy lost his nitro car down a sewer drain, tried to go down and get it, police stopped him. Gone! Glad you got it back

Legends has it...they never visited a lake again! This alone proves that if you want a great RC, go for the Traxxas brand. I am glad I finally got one; the 1/16th version. It's been almost 1 week owning it and got 4 runs in one day over the weekend with the single 1200mAh battery. I can't wait for my 2nd 1200mAh battery and Parallel connection to be delivered later this week. The snow storms here in Long Island, NY will be even more fun! I am looking for the highest capacity 2s LiPo and a 3s LiPo that can fit in the 1/16th E-Revo VXL. I'll be off for 16 days in December and I think it's going to be the best time to break some parts 😂

Nice rescue and repairs !

Good video guy, cool!

congrats! very cool.

gg 10/10 love you for doing this

That guy is crazy, just instantly gets out and swims to it

looks kinda like the body shell made sort off a air bubble inside as there wasnt too much mud inside. Nice to see it running again

Great vid. Pleased you found it after all that time

Good Job Reviving Car

At least u got it on record - and got the car back!!

sehr geil :D

Best thing to do was put on a swimmers mask and dive down the next morning. But seemed like a fun project to get that back up running.

Schöne Aktion! Viele hätten aufgegeben und nicht versucht das Teil aus dem See zu bergen.

very cool video glad i subscribed

pure entertainment ... subbed!!

you guys are damn lucky DAMN lucky.!

glad you found it

That's awesome

2 thing i wouldn't do 1.)not keep on the gas when going away into the deep part. 2.)i wouldn't wait 6 days i would just go after it right then and there

Do you still have it? Are you getting the 2.0? I first watched this year's ago, still a great story!

Ha, that sucks. But cool to watch what it did and now that it's working again! I picked up a 4x4 Slash from someone used. Pile of junk, rust bucket. So I am in the process of fixing it up, going to take it all apart and fix it!

i am very happy you saved it

Good thing it's still working

When it first went under water, did you try and drive it out by itself at all?

You have it done good. Had it with a gasoline motor. Same day cleaned up and drives if there was nothing went wrong. When you drove on the last moment, you drove backwards and then forewards, never do that, you can burn up your motor throw big resistance...

just awesome!! that's a real good friend u got there also!!

I'll bet you that you will think twice before attempting to skip the water with something that isn't hydrodynamic. You had a lot of added work you wouldn't have had,, if you had of used the product for what it was intended to be used on,, that's not a boat :-) but I'll tell you what,, it was amazing to see that sucker skipping across that smooth water until that wake turned it in the direction it ended up in. They don't steer very well when their skipping and it's all you can do just to keep it on top of the water,, once that sucker twisted sideways,, it was doomed! Oops! yeah,, I tried it and got away with it in a lake that was almost drained with only 3 feet of water but I used the balloon tires off a "Tamia Lunchbox" on a 1987 associated Team vehicle. You are really, really fortunate to have made such a recovery and your patience and ideas paid off for you,, this time. Learn from that mistake hahaha! If you were to place "Ribbed" Tires in the front,, your steering improves and they will still hydroplane for you. Pick shallower water hahaha!

Hammer geile Nummer

RCStation,, haha,, Das is gut ya!! i feel your joy when you found the car,, 😂

I was dying at 5:30 when that doofus threw the hook in the water. First off, the dude should have held on to the damn rope, and second off, the rope should have been a hell of a lot longer like the second one. Lmao made my day!!!

dam that looks cold

Wow that is awesome, not so much that you lost it but the story all together. I just want to know why did you take the erevo past the ledge knowing it was deep and with the possibility of losing it? Ha ha, glad you got it back and running my friend !!

i've watched this about 20 times...while I'm extremely HAPPY that you got your e-revo back...I do have to ask...why in the HELL would you hold the throttle as you watched it go into the middle of the silt pit from nowhere. Le sigh.

I feel so happy for you!!

Wish you posted a list in the description of what parts you had to replace. Looked like the servo & receiver but not sure if the ESC or motor survived - if you read this, add the list to the description (hard to find replies on here)... Nice work and I'm impressed you didn't give up... Congrats!

Good rescue!

Respect bro.

im happy that u retrieve ur car, but why wait 6 days? in that case i would try to dive for it with a torch and a hook and retreive after a day or 2. but great job. i lolled when ur friend throw the hook

I done the exact same thing with my rustler vxl 4x4. Had to change the receiver and all the bearings. Everything else was fine

You deserve a medal for restoring it, just dont attempt to do it again :)

Crazy bro ,but good video bro

12:00 MATZEEE!! xD

This is so epic

After 6 days that's unreal

Echt geil👍😄

I had goosebumps when they found it again xD
