FiRST TiME TUBiNG BEHiND the THRASHER JET BOAT - StreamlineRC | RC ADVENTURES
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 5 сен 2024
- I have been planning this for a VERY LONG TIME! I have held on to this single inner tube from the wheel of my old 1/5 scale RC Loader, (I got rid of it when I got my 8000lb RC Skid Steer). I have also kept my driver of the JET SKI all these years.. and have always figured he would make a great candidate to be the crash test dummy behind my JET BOAT! The Jet Boat is a Streamline RC "Thrasher" (I have many videos of this excellent boat!). Get one here: streamlinerc.c...
I like the the fact the boat is self-righting. It also has a jet system, that doesn't get caught up in weeds like a prop does.. PERFECT for pulling a tow rope. Also, the ceramic bearing means I NEVER have to grease this thing! The adjustable nozzle gives me great control over how the boat controls itself in the water - and the onboard POWERFUL Bilge Pump means I dont have to go swimming for this boat very often! A perfect water-sport boat for deep and shallow water.
I know, I know.. Im "playing with dolls" or whatever you want to say.. HEY, THEY ARE ACTION FIGURES (hands on hips).. Lol! I cant pull an empty inner tube around..
I added a GoPro HERO7 Black - Waterproof Action Camera with Touch Screen 4K Ultra HD Video ability with AMAZING stabilization software properties - get one here: amzn.to/3hYrgfn
And I already know people will ask about my sunglasses - (they are OAKLEY CLIFDEN PRIZM "Snow-Torch" 56mm - and you can get them from Oakley here: amzn.to/37MwJl1
What can I say?! I had a vision of inner-tubing with an action figure behind a jet boat.. and I make a show about the radio control hobby on RUclips. Seems to go hand in hand if you ask me! hah!

Hope the one to tie the rope to the boats hull lock screw so it sits out of the water was included. ;)
Lovin it. Brings back old memories. My dad called tubing legalized child abuse. And we keep coming back for more! Put a loop or band around the tube and tie the tow rope to that. First tube I ever got towed on was a semi truck tube with an old fall protection belt wrapped around it and rope tied to that. Get your victim laying face down on tube and head forward to help with balance.
Okay...this one had never crossed my mind...so fun to watch Aaron! Leave it to you to come up with another unique and fun way to use a Thrasher!
I remember seeing a water skiing squirrel behind an rc boat but this is pretty awesome too!
Twiggy was cool .
Zip ties and a squirrel 🐿😃
New person
That GoPro footage makes it look super realistic😂 definitely a creative and awesome video medic!
Flip the inner tube inside out so the stem is sticking out towards the boat and then tie the string around the stem and make the string a little bit longer and tape the bottom of the inner tube to make it flat so no water gets in the middle. Love the videos!!
My dad and I built one when I was a teenager. Put a open flap at the bottom. It will help the water get out and help with control. Awesome Video
Lay him on his belly, screen/mesh bottom, and get the rope out of the water.. make a little pole mount on the back of the boat. 🤙🏻 super cool idea I’m deff gonna try this!
Also he should add more power so it gets ontop of the water and now dragging in it
The tether is usually on the front edge in same spot you have it attached on inside, if I remember correctly. This is super cool man
Now you have to do a skier somehow! I bet if you raised the attachment point on the boat, you could lower it on the tube!
That is basically what i said just a little more explained
If you look at an actual tubing tube. The tow point is about of just below the centerline of the tube with a smooth bottom.
LOVE THE IDEA! Good execution of this.
It never ever ceases to amaze me, all of the different kinds of RCing,. If that is a word. If not now it is! That you come up with .. Great rc channel!!!!👌
I say this in the most loving and respectful way, but once again, what am I watching? Why am I watching this? Why am I enjoying this?
Try making a small tripod for the rear hatch on the boat to tie the tow rope to too get it out of the water / prop (jet) wash, then make a two point bridal for the tube to attach the rope at the center point of the tube have your guys hands zip tied to handles and have him sit in the bottom of the tube to lower his c.o.g. My two cents. Hope it’s helpful.
Next I think you got a build a tower for the Thrasher like a full on ski boat has! 🤘
Yes i love that idea that would help pull the front of the tube up more
The only thing is though with the bilge pump inside it flips back over automatically because of the weight on the bottom of the boat so with a tower it would make it harder to flip
That is an awesome idea! What you need to do is take the boat side of the rope and secure it to the top hatch locking knob (the silver thumb screw) this will get the rope out of the water, so no drag, the rope will then be even with the top of the tube, and in the gopro it will look even more realistic as the thumb screw looks like a standard tow point on a ski boat.
That shot @ 7:38 was soo good! Jetboat with spider on lookout, and tube in tow
To make it more stable, being it's top heavy. Get a piece of thin wood, metal, even a screwdriver and put it under the tube. At the end of whatever you put under it, put an extra weight. Kinda like the long stabilizer on a sailboat under the hull. The weight would be at the end of that stabilizer. The longer the rod/stick/pole you use, the more stable it will be.
Love the idea. Just need to workout the kinks. First off the last run is promising. I would tape an old CD to stiffen the bottom of tube, leave a gap at back to let any water in the tube out. Next is the balance of rider needs to be hunched over the tube so it will get on plane. The fluid dynamics force is holding tube to the water from the tubing curve.
The last is to lengthen rope back out of the pumps Jetstream spray, this is one place that 1:1 to small scale work in the same way.
Looking forward to MORE Videos on this tubing setup.
You asked for more suggestions? I have an important one. The rear of the inner tube is rounded, which pulls water upward as the tube is drawn forward. Have you noticed that all fast boats have a straight up transom, while slower sailboat hulls are rounded at the rear? Pulling the water upward has the same effect as pulling the rear of the tube downward, into the water, causing tremendous resistance.. So, how do you fix that? You need to flatten the rear underside of the tube so that the water skims away from underneath instead of trying to curl upward.
I have been enamored with the Thrasher ever since version 1. It's such a well engineered boat. I even contacted Scott to try to buy one of their jet drives. If you ever get tired of the Thrasher, Aaron, you know where to send it, dude ;-) Thanks for sharing your day with us.
That was Kool. You could move the weight of the rider lower in the tube and to the back. Add a scupper to the bottom, a flap cut in the bottom of the tape. If you use an old windbreaker to build a shell around the tube
What a hilarious idea. You're always thinking outside of the box👍 behind your 48" Proboat
What a great time. I was going to make suggestions, but they are already listed below, so.... thanks for the great video MEDiC.
Anything that makes me or others smile is awesome. As long as you are having fun, that's the main thing. Good Job RC SPARKS 💯
Yo Medic! Awesome. You will need to use some rubber cement and attache a loop to the outside of the tube. That'll sort it, just like a real O-Brien water tube! Great Fun.
Tie the rope up on the go pro mount or fab up a bracket to get the rope higher on the boat. The rope is low so it wants to drag the front of that tube down with it!
Attach the rope to the front outside of the tube. Then have your rider laying belly down in a superman like position. That should help out. I love all the videos. Keep up the great entertainment.
Mr Medic Sir! i am not a scale RC boating guru BUT i have done a TON of river running in inner tubes around my neck of the woods, the pacific north west washington state... its part of our annual spring summer activities...
so i watched the whole thing because i always do... and you asked for ideas to make this set up ore stable... i would totally use those two zip ties to run the "tow rope" under ... run the rope under the ties, on the OUTSIDE or boatside of the tube. make a loop tie the line to itself in a triangle shape so your pulling from the front edges and not the back half where the guy is holding the line. thats causing you to nose dive the way its set now, and it wont be pulling from the top as you can push the loop higher or lower on the tube to adjust the fronts angle of contact with the wake of the boat and a bit longer line. i wish i could add a picture in this chat, but if you look up purpose made riding tubes youll see the pull point in the front of the tube... using your zip ties as two points going to one "the tow line" in a triangle is how they set up water ski ropes. you can then add a short linewrapped around the tube for the rider to hold the handle but its now cosmetic instead of the pull point. loving all the vids you post, and youtube gold is better and bigger every episode looking forward to loading wa... er kings!
I’d try a longer rope. Would get him off the wake and bring his nose down possibly
Your all a boat that life.
😂🤣😂😁
you’re
He's all aboot the boats
sooooo cool Jet boat and RC man
Great to see you not giving up and finally got RC man scating across the water 😎👍
That's a very cool idea. I would try still knotting the string to the valve, but going under the tube rather than from the top. Hopefully this helps at speed and it doesn't want to dip and dive down any longer. Otherwise you can tape the string to the middle of the tube, it should not try to either lift or dive the front. Anyway, good luck, that's so cool.
whens the drone recovery happening ? -- the string needs to be just above the boat -- it was fun to watch
You need to make a high bar for the back of the boat to keep your tube more stable
that spider is in the back like 'it's my turn next dad!!!"
This is why I like you channel so much. The things you come up with to go out and entertain yourself and your viewers is the best I enjoy watching.
Super fun video 👍
I'll never forget getting slingshotted around my dad's boat until I had whiplash. My neck hurt for a couple days afterwards but it was still fun. Just not on rough water
Center of gravity is hard to reach with scale figurines . LOL Fun video . Appreciate the work you do .
every time a video comes out it makes me fun sir! Thanks you
Make a round metal bar with eyelets on both ends one 90° for the stern canopy nut for attachment upper eylett for rope another ziptie on front of tube for rope...I'm 3 hours late lol 😆 you're fun to watch that's what matters you have fun👍😎
Id tape the rope to the tube so it spreads the load about 1/3 way up, and tie it higher on the boat, that battery door screw looks like a good spot.
Love the ideas an videos you come up keep them come... Hope all is well with you and yours.
If you can get the tow rope out of the water, it should help. Affixing to the capture nut on the removable top of the boat might be a good anchor point. Or, if you have any in your backstock, a scale bed mount tire carrier from a crawler might elevate the anchor point - if you could attach to the boat without doing any damage. The pitch of the boat while pulling the tub might allow the GoPro mount to be an adequate anchor point as well. Anchoring toward/closer to the bow will give odd geometry while turning. In any case, I think a slightly longer tow rope would also be beneficial.
Next time. Put the Go Pro on the Rc Dude/Inner Tube. Love the Creativity !!
Hey fella from oz, Pmsfl, that was great , just a tip, tow rope needs to pull maybe from the silver lock on the top of the thrasher, not from underwater, maybe go under the tube after that, practice makes perfect my friend and having fun along the way is priceless!!!! Love your work mate , keep it up , been watching for years now and I always get a laugh...... all the very best to you and yours during our current “ problem “
Wrap the tube in netting a net/mesh bag gives the pilot a place to set but also allows for attachment points for a harness. Attach to the tow rope at 3 to 4 spots around the front of the mesh should work.
I would love to see more of this! Maybe a tow bar like you see on wakeboarding boats to make the pull point higher up, modify the tube so it has a pull hook on the front of the tube. This could be an awesome series!
There are a lot of good tips down here in the comments to solve your problems with the tube. As someone who has a 1:1 boat and pulls real funtubes on a regular basis I would recommend to pull the tube from the front center. Not with the rope over or under the tube. So maybe put a ziptie over the tube or loop a rope around it. Then attach a ring to the rope or ziptie or connect the pulling rope directly to it. On the boat, connect your rope as centered and as high as you can. Also place the action figure with his butt in the tube hole just like a real tuber. The weight distribution is much better this way. The action figure doesn't need to hold the rope because it's already attached to the tube. In real life you only hold a rope like this when you a wakeboarding, waterskiing or kneeboarding. Good luck! I think round 2 with these changes will go much better.
Really good idea 💡 from the boat it looks almost real
I actually did the same thing with my son's Buzz Light year toy and I had to use a fine nylon mesh screen material, it allows the water to drain once on plane, good luck
Very creative...& hilarious! Great job 😜
Got it! Airplane pontoons for skis! On Flite Test website plans for Dollar Store foam board pontoons!
Man this is awesome! Hope you will figure what to do soon! Can not wait for the next thrusher video!
Lol awesome work! The dude has to ride the tube with legs trailing mainly for weight / in the water and hands holding the front of the inner tube handles. The rope would get attached to the front of the tube itself. at least thats how we used to do it. It would also be cool to put a rudder on the tube so you can steer him in and out of the wake. Could step it up and make a wakeboarder with a steerable rudder but that might require a lot of r+d lol Or use the surfer guy rc
Lets see some more boats! I’m pretty sure we’re all addicted!
Creative repurposing at its finest. 👍😎
@DeviousRC 66 i see your game, and I will raise you! If you can't encourage someone's creativity and enjoyment of how they want to use their rc's then you have no place on this channel! " leave and don't bother coming back " Aaron has inspired many rc enthusiasts and youtubers with videos just like this.
That’s how real tubes are in full scale with a covered bottom
KiLLER idea!!!! 😎👍👍
The awesome part is... It WORKS!! Aaron, you never cease to amaze me.
👏👏👏👏👏🍻🍺🍻
Carmine ✈🚂🚙
Awesomeness. I like them shades too brother 😎😎
Yeah this is going to be awesome !!
Hey Aaron, if you tape your tube on top and bottom and add a zip tie to the front and hook your tow rope to it, you should be able to run the rapids.
Just make sure your tube is water proof top and bottom
She shall not sink
Yeah I love it that was outstanding !! I did see a video while back, a guy made a set of skis with a action figure , can't remember what kind of boat he used . But it was pretty cool
Great job bro. Waiting for the air chair..
Those glasses,will be perfect for a Marvel Comics Ant Man costume;for either Halloween,or Comic-Con.
You might try to tie the rope to the retaining pin on the Battery cover.
Cheers Roger.
You should tie the rope to the gopro mount so that it is like one of those wake boats. That way it is pulling straight forwards instead of down wards. If you do that, then put the rope through the hole in the bottom of the tape cover. That way it is pulling upwards on the front of the tube. That would lessen the chance of it nose diving into the water at a higher speed
You need a tower that they have on wake boats
Heheheh!! Awesome Aaron!! Thanks for sharing this with us buddy!! Great RC entertainment!!! 👍😁👍😁
That’s one of your funniest videos yet. Not sure why but, I can’t seem to stop laughing when I’m watching it
That’s actually kinda cool. One recommendation: It might work better if you wrap the string around the tube and have it go to the boat from the lower point of the tube if that makes sense. That is just how our full scale speed boat tube is designed that actually holds humans, and yes it almost always has the front end very high so it is normal. Still a very cool concept 👍
1. Place the rope further up in the boat. Use your GoPro mount like a wakeboard tower. That will help bring the tube up some and less down drag on the rope.
2. Let the rope out farther back from the boat and it will be in less prop washy water.
3. Tie directly to the tube and keep the knot at the waterline.
4. Vent your tape on the bottom so when the tube fills with water, the water can scupper out the back as you accelerate.
I think that will alleviate all your issues.
I actually built ALL of that last night bro..and you are ON POINT! I have had so many people offer help for this "problem".. that I think the next video will be very good. I have yet to try these changes, but you guys will be the first to see it all done later today
@@TheRealRCSparks right arm! I'm stoked to see it! I just used my own boat, wake tower and large towable tube as reference. Keep up the good work on the channel. Love the content!
Thats what I like, never know what is in your head👍🏻👍🏻
You should see how many RC boats it takes to pull you around the pond! Omg best idea ever, just saying, from fellow Canadian RC guy!!! Im gunna do it! Oh wait... i only have one rc boat and its under water... so you gotta do it brother!!!
Add a wake tower to one of your boats. Pulling the rope up and out of the water will stabilize the boat and rider.
I had a cheesy rc bass fishing boat that allegedly could catch fish, if they were tiny and didn't put up a fight. I used it to drag a duck decoy around. Similar, but not the same. Still just as much fun.
Hahaha really cool Video and looks like a lot of fun my friend........thumbs up👍👍
This video made me spppppp happy thank you
I love this idea Medic! Im no big shot engineer but i know boating and pulling from higher up like your go pro mount would probably solve most your problems. Better yet make a scale ski pole / wake board tower for this thing!!
Awesome, yup always easier to pull weight over frothy water. Not going to suggest more because I know you will get it. Still awesome.
You are crazy that’s why I like your channel when in doubt throttle out 👍👍🚤
I believe my tube has a protective cover and at rear is a flap to let water be pulled out when moving forward. Also the rope hooks to a harness that has 2 anchor points . Maybe couple zip ties to a rope and a key chain ring as hooking spot?
LOL! Awesome dude! thanks for making me laugh, I needed it! Awesome boat, would love to have one for my river!
Hey, use some tire glue and glue some grommets at the 11 and 1 o'clock positions to the tube itself. Most water ski tubes don't have the rider holding the rope, they are holding onto the tube...
Haha fun idea buddy. Maybe a longer rope would help get the tube out of the thrust wake. 👍👍💯
The little spider at the 7:40ish time mark..lol
Idk why but this made me think of the Toyboata
Definitely equip a boat with a custom krazy joe wake board tower. That will change the angle so that it wont dive. Possibly put a one way valve on the bottom of the tube to drain water. It's not re inventing the tube it's just making it scale in every way possible
One thing I had in mind, pull from the go pro mount more like a modern tow boat.
Yup, no real ski boat ties the tow line under the water. Tie off on the latch cover or better, the go pro mount.
Anyone remember Twiggy the Water skiing squirrel? They pulled him behind an RC Ski Nautique. I saw her once at the Cleveland Boat Show. It left an impression on me.
With a jet drive, you have a good amount of thrust coming back which ends up actually pushing straight back as well as to the sides. If you can capture whatever you're towing (or even if you have another boat following) and the wake, it ends up sticking pretty well. Makes it easier on the following craft as well. So in this case you can see that when towing with a jet, its pretty much impossible to towing directly in the center. I was a craft operator on a couple 11 meter rhibs. Same concepts regardless of size🤙
Love it bud!!! What makes u the best on RUclips? Hell yea rc.sparks
What about a Para sailing? That would be cool to see if you can do it.
Since its boating season over there in Canada i think alot of us would love to see a scale drive with the boats on trailers down to launch them, but as always gotta have KJ and the crew and make a awesome day of it with famous Medic events, something similar to loading kings maybe but boats? Just an idea, either way i love all your content so much encouragement from your channel i have RC fever!!!
Like recovering a drone?? 😅
Great idea man I enjoyed
The ideas you come up with never ceases to amaze me sir! Too funny to watch this!
It's called an air valve dude and make him a set of water skies or a wake board loved the video as always
I’m actually in the process of making this happen with my new bright ski boat. I’ll be using a fisher price teething ring, they come in different sizes so we’ll see how it works. Will be using a long shoe string for the tow lead.
Thought one: I hope he's got a life vest. Thought two: I want them shades!
Thought three: Ju need a bigger boat!
Hey medic great clip as always an idea to maybe make it more stable a metal plate on the bottom with some style of trim tab at the rear for stability and a lift plate up the front to keep the front up on a plane almost like a boat hull
Or even curve the plate
