RECREATING the MYTHBUSTERS ROCKET CAR (with a RC CAR!)
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 4 сен 2024
- David, Henrik, Johanna and Sylvia try to recreate the epic Mythbusters episodes where Adam and Jamie convert a full size Chevy Impala to RC, strap some rockets on it and try to get the car going so fast that it becomes airborne.
We don't quite have that kind of budget so we settled for a 1:10 scale HobbyKing Desert Fox RC car. The rocket used is the same as in the Rocket knife series. Providing 54kg (120lbs) of thrust for 0.4 seconds.
The car weighs about 2kg so you can imagine the results.
After the first failure David mixes a slower burning charge which makes the car controllable under rocket power!
In the end I think we came pretty close to recreating the original Mythbusters episodes. Enjoy!

David Windestal Done!
two rockets on the knife then try bowling ball again
Shared in our quadcopter group 👍
what about a rocket DLG
David Windestal consider it done
Hahaha! That was epic! Try this again with some vertical stabilizers and horizontal ones as well!!! Would love to see the car go a few miles :D
I have something up my sleeve my friend. You just wait and see *evil laugh*
You have to find the center of mass of the car with the rocket and make sure the thrust vector passes directly through it if you want to fly straight. The rocket motor is so powerful compared to whatever aerodynamic forces you could marshal from stabilizing fins that it would just make more things flying through the air when the thing goes plooie. Not that I'm opposed to things going plooie.....
PeterSripol if he had more downforce he could probably keep more control too
Hi Peter good luck on that ultra light would love to see you fly it for the first time also try some larger wheels tractor supply company has some that might work don't want to see all your hard work destroyed by a less than smooth landing, also try some braces that detach so the wheels have some more support on asphalt once you get that out of the way all you need to do is go further than 120 feet in 12 seconds
Maybe if the ramp was longer so the car has time to stabilize in the direction and then firing a little before being airborne to resist tumbling forwards from push of the rocket.
All these vids are amazing :D
"Thrust angle was slightly off.........." That must go down as the best understatement ever
i think we all are waiting on the rocket boosted tricopter now :D
Marcus Wetterbro old signature
Stiffen up that front suspension your wheels are digging in warping that's why you rolled the first time glue those wheels on some tire glue and rejigger your rocket motor mount so that thrust line goes through the center of gravity of the car don't forget to account for the mass of the rocket motor small wing and fin on the back might help a bit too.
Mythbusters,Flite test, David, and Peter are my life heroes.
Oh my word, my face hurts from laughter! Best line at 10:04 “We’ll the car looks fine!” Hysterical!
7:01 Driving a rocket powered RC-car in FPV is apparently somewhat of a holy experience! LOL.. I totally missed that part when we were out there bro xD
+Henrik Windestål RUclips doesn't like when we use bad language so that's the best I came up with 😁
"here we have the tingle tangle of the wooblee doodlee" Best part.
I'm pretty sure thats the scientific term for that part..
It takes a lot these days for me to really laugh out loud other then a chuckle but when the car went over that jump... OMG that was hilarious!!! Cheers for that.
8:47 - Free Shipping. 😃
You need to make certain that the Mount is aligned with the center of the vehicle to avoid lateral forces and spinning or off center motion. Also driving over the dunage and rocks isn't very smooth.
Multistage, like MythBusters, would be great. Later add a *small* knife - RocketKnifeCar❗
LowLightVideos that wouldn't be enough to prevent spinning. Because of a cars general shape, there is a lot of airflow instability and turbulent flow. This means that as soon as the car leaves the ground, it's going to start tumbling soon after.
Sounds like he needs some downforce
Marty: "What? What? Is it hot?"
Doc: "No, it's cold! Damn cold!"
TheAdkFlyer10 *IS FUCKING R A W*
The center of thrust was above the center of mass which is why it slammed into the ground lol if you put it an inch and a half lower at the angle it was during ignition it would have gone pretty much straight. This was a very enjoyable video to watch!!
This was the best rocket episode so far!
Wow David this is some of your best work yet! Beautiful results, testing, and editing too!
that was awesome :)
+RCSparks Studio they means a lot coming from you man 😃 cheers
A pure Delorean moment - all that was missing was the flaming tyre tracks !
Put some rock solid shocks on that! Stops high speed rollovers.
I love how excited you get after something works!
Hahaha watched it all with a big smile!!! Awesome!
One of the best episodes i've seen so far! I had a lot of fun watching this:) Thanks !
I love your video's man ! Keep up the good work!
+PressTube Cheers
His video has a man?
Awesome!! Simply Awesome. Myth busted but the 13 min run was epic.. Kudos!
One of your funniest videos yet. I appreciate all the work that went into the rocket car. Hey, speaking of broken stuff: What are your plans with the broken knife? Perhaps....Space Knife? I used to love all your high altitude FPV flights!
Wow you guys are actually wearing shirts and jackets! I can't believe my eyes! :D
Don't get used to it..
I laughed my ass off! Thanks David, and crew.
The best thing about the internet is David's hysterical laughing.
Awesome 8-bit ending!
That was awesome, RIP little car, you were a brave soul!
OMG!!! I laughed so hard I could barely breathe for a couple of minutes. This made my day, for sure! Now, Rocket plane please! 🛬😁
Goddamn. David screaming "Holy Jesus" made my day.
Congratulations, David, you reinvented the ancient Jetex 50 rocket powered car!
Now this is a perfect use for a miniature rocket motor! Just a few center of gravity versus center of effort issues to iron out and it will fly-ish. Better than a silly rocket knife any day!
But wait! I just wondered if the rocket needs to be at the front??!!
More rocket cars please! :¬)
4:44 should be the start (or end) of all your videos. Classic!
Brilliant! Classic tomfoolery!
That ramp was good lol
David make a rail for it to run along until it gets up to speed...lol... Love your videos...
great video. linked it on the tested.com reddit thread.
The reason for the mid air spinning is that the time difference between the front wheels and the rear wheels leaving the ramp is relatively small, gravity has started a downward pitch to the front that is magnified by the eccentric pressuring of the rocket motor to the car's center of gravity. If you could calculate the amount of pitch, maintain exact speed and then offset the rocket motor an appropriate amount to the CG, you might get the car to fly straighter until your thrust is complete.
That was the funniest so far! Can't wait the next one!
Direct the thrust through the center of mass and you might get a more straight in air trajectory. Very entertaining. Thank you.
Wow now that was CRAZY!
Tons of fun on this video!
David’s laugher is the best
7:07 the wheel comes off the rim! hot damn!
lol, i laughed more than i should at "you think THAT was the problem"??
If you added 88mph and the proper jiggawatts,you could have went back to the Future! An awesome movie! Who knows? Next time use a Delorian car.
Woah that's surprising!!! I've never seen him with a beard before
9:47 there are a few frames in the FPV view where you can see the rest of the car floating away from you. It tore the FPV equipment off the car!
It's like being hit by a high-speed train, flying through the air in slow motion, watching the lower half of your body fly away into the distance.
You have to put it in a Me-163 Comet and see what happens!
LOL @ 4:45
if this doesn't scream pyromaniac idk what does lol
SHOULD ADD SOME WINGS TO THAT ROCKET/CAR !!!!
Second run was awesome!
You and mythbusters made the same mistake: not aligning the rocket with the center of mass.
David, awesome, and sooo funny!
Very very nice episode!! Thank you David! :-D
Brilliant. Great video. Thanks
The best part of this video is the rocket-powered car. The second-best part of this video is the crazy redheaded Viking laughing maniacally while sprinting across the screen. I wish he'd been wearing a pointy helmet and carrying a big axe just for extra comedic effect. Maybe next time?
WOW amazing suspension and buggy all around :)
Mythbusters are back =) Thanks!
So....multistage...eh?.....eh?.....you know you want to. 🚀
I feel that the Jato 3.3 by Traxxas would've been a more apt car to do this with.
It's like that saying, give a man a fish,feed him for a day. teach him how to fish feed him for a lifetime...
Except it's, give a Swede a rocket a rocket, he'll make en epic video. Teach him how to build it and RUclips will be epic for all of eternity!!!!
love your work David an family!
David - you're nothing if not enthusiastic! love it! any chance of you taking another go at a crash helmet? I reckon you could get through it with a couple of changes!
You are nutz! In the best way possible. Great video.
Damn, I was just thinking how fun it could be to strap a sugar rocket to the bottom of my mini quad the other day, I might have to give it a go!
this is awesome!
Try putting on a GPS speed meter. try a Garmin forrunner, they are regularly used with rc speed runs. Also try using a gimbal if you want to keep it straight while driving.
Would be awesome if you could do the rocket jump again, but this time have the rocket on a gimbal for thrust vectoring with some sort of gyro correction to keep it flying in the same direction :D
Its like you're playing Kerbal Space Program, but with real rockets! Have you thought about multiple stage firing yet?
I love these videos!
Tires ballooned up big time!
Well I sat down to breakfast once again got my iPad to watch rocket knife knowing the car was going to be on holly crap oh my god that was fantastically epic how are you going to top this office chair with rider lol
Now we need rocket plaaaane!
Good project with RC car !
That is awesome. And also so dangerous.
That was insane! I like it!! Can you do a scaled down cementtruck episode :P LOL, just kidding..Dang..i like this true mini myth style!!
SO glad i watchied till the end!
this was just plain awesome. :)
Very Cool....Slow Mo is Awesome
This is great. Next step: ignite before reaching ramp, extend wings, take off.
Lol.. That comment made me think of the Red car in M.A.S.K. for some reason: ruclips.net/video/o2Z1yLO9C-Q/видео.html
Perfect! I think a paint job is in order...
(Och tack för svaret!)
OMG I just had a nostalgia orgasm
really glad ur posting vids again, as always man thumbs up
That was a great episode!
Bravo David, bravo!!!
David went full on viking with that beard!
This was awsome david.
Those pizza cutter tires were awesome
Oh yeah ! That was good !
Your editing is getting better ;)
David please make rocket plane. I know you've done that already but I can't get enough :) please, please
Hey David. i love your videos. what camera do you use for the slow mo?
Great video Guys
Awesome video!
I'm envisioning a much better solution to the ending of Back to the Future 3 🤣🤣🤣
great stuff
Nice vid prefect fpv
AMAZING!!!
I love it guys
No comments on the pronunciation of ass-fault instead of asphalt? You guys are too nice :D
That was awesome! Next time can you light the rocket before you hit the ramp? Thanks.
Put some down thrust on it by angling the motor down and farther up front
