Bro plz reply
You make awesome video's Simon 👍
Man your vids are the best
You look just as good as before #nohomo
Watching the vid and listening to what u say carefully. I think u should mount the go pro a bit further to the center of the car to even out the weight distribution on the wheels. Notice it doing wheelies all the time in the water but when u accidentally moved the go pro forward it ran good.
4:39 - The helicopter sound dubbed over the drone footage gets me every time. LOL
Aha just wanted to write something about the Huey sound😅hahaha
Subtitle says [Applause] lol

Finally I am a youtuber actor. The father.
Grattis!
Looking good!!

Your son didnt even like your comment, take away his xbox
You sir, raised a creative genius, thank you.
These videos are so underrated, this guy should have more subs and views !

He has a very good work ethic
*agrees*
@@Rc2Go even though, the average views he gets is very low
FACTS
I appreciate how this guy gets straight to the point without 2 mins of explaining
I have the exact same RC car!
The Bison has a 4WD drive with central diff, wich means that it's front wheels can spin fast, while the back wheels spin slow, depending on the individual drag.
I think this is what is causing the issues with the front jumping out of the water and the car not gaining enough speed. If you could lock the differential somehow, this issue could be fixed!
I agree
He says "I shouldn't be a youtuber" the proceeds to get the most epic footage of an RC car doing flying across a lake. Seriously props to him. The shot where he drove the RC car towards him and a close up on a gopro at the same time was awesome.
Can we take a minute to appreciate that he has never click baited us? :D
Well he did!?🤫 the drone part hahahaha
That reference to Vsauce was very sneaky.
Or was it?
Was about to write the same comment 👍🏼
When?

How much does a sneaky weigh?
Hey RCLifeOn, I found your channel about a year ago when I got my first 3D printer, and I gotta say, you've inspired me with so many of your videos. You do such a fantastic job maintaining quality and expanding on your own ideas in a way that I can understand. You've helped me get started on a few projects that I'm designing with Fusion 360. Please, don't ever stop these videos, you have no idea the reach you have, don't let RUclips's algorithm get to you, if you keep up the kind of work that you've displayed in almost every video you have on this channel, you'll reap the rewards eventually.

He also went ahead to set up the camera :P
This is Simon. He probably flew a drone over there and flew it back after the shot
He's been watching Survivor Man.
The Swedish landscape in your videos and your showcase of failures with funny narratives makes your videos very enjoyable. Keep it up!

The obvious problem: *The grooves from the tires. They are "digging in" the water.* You should have either shorter grooves or more rounded ones.
I know you will probably bot even see this comment or not even want to rework on this.
Either way, nice try and cool visuals on the video in general.
no! they need to be larger and straight in an angle, have you seen quadbikes sand tires?
I think the lips should be at angle, not shorter. I do thing you’re right about digging in the water though! I also think he should make the back wheels get less traction on the water and the front wheels more. Or shift the weight more to the front..
maybe turn the tires around, like on a tractor
wardwyseur Literally the whole video I was like TURN THE WHEELS AROUND SO THAT THE GROOVES ARE PUSHING AWAY FROM THE WATER INSTEAD OF DIGGING IN THE WATER. Just a thought
I thought the same thing. why not just turn the wheels around. So instead of digging, they are just flapping over the water. Car get's less speed, but should get more "air time" and stay over the water.
4:24 that subtle Vsauce reference sold me on this channel. You’ve earned a sub!!
Damn he even put in the Vsauce music
Same with the intro
.....or is it?
lol, didnt notice that before reading this comment.
That’s literally the first thing he did in this video
Everybody : put chill music in drone shot
Simon : put helicopter sound
Its tru tho
And thats so intuitive that he should get a Playbutton for "Best Editor 2018-2020"
(Idk since when he does this)
never give up dude!
what i have learned in this video is to keep trying no matter how many times you fail. i dont have as much patience , something i should work on. thanks for the video
The front wheels were a bit a problem cause they are jumping a lot and every time they hit the water it puts resistant to the back wheels
so you lose momentum i suggest to put something heavy in the front so the front wheels be useful or change the front wheel with skis like snowmobile
Yeah, if its a four-wheel-drive car it makes more sense to keep all wheels on the water at least most of the time. However, small boats tend to be designed to be slightly back heavy so the bow sits higher in the water and makes it easier to cut through the water better. I think rather than adding weight to the front, simply moving the camera mount and adjusting the balance point by moving internal parts around would be enough adjustment to keep the car more level on the water.
NOJ might want to be careful about comparing this machine to the way the boat cuts through water. They are fundamentally different i. how they interact with the water. this RC relies on the surface tension of the water to ride on. the more force pushing down on the water, the more likely the drone will sink. OP is right about the bouncing front wheels causing momentum loss. Though for the sake of science I say he should try both weights, I’m biased toward weight on the front. what do you think?
I would think it is that camera and brace that is making it heavy in the back.
Why doesn't this guy have 2mil subs already ?
i know right
thts why the share button exist
inconsistent posting schedule
not enough videos like this one (I love them but 2mil people are not trying to watch him print a lithopane)
I'm impressed you managed to keep the smoke in the electronics!
So many people don't realise that's what keeps the electrics going. Keeping the smoke inside the wires.
I don’t get it
@@bondebos3478 a common misconception is that electronics require metal and electricity to work, but they dont. All electronics actually run on the smoke that is contained inside the wires and circuit boards. If you let said smoke out, then you're hoopajooped and you've gotta buy new equipment.
The reason you're a youtuber is because you don't give up, you try again and again
Greetings from Paraguay!
Love the production quality!!!
Oh, it's Simon's dad. Hello Mr. Sörensen, I'm a huge fan of your son's work.
RCLifeOn: posts video. Me: goes absolutely bananas!
A clear shot of rainbow
Dat is freaking Awesome!
your central differential seems way too soft: each time the front wheel leave the water surface, you lose so much traction by dissipating power in the front wheels... and your suspension are way too firm: you have almost no damping! soften heavily your spring and slightly decrease the oil viscosity: you will have a way more stable platform. keep the juice!
scsiense
This. Also maybe shift the centre of mass forwards a bit because the front is jumping up a lot.
I was thinking the same James, go pro so far out in the back there was taking way too much weight off the front. But otherwise a really cool attempt.
I bet results would improve by putting sortof like skis on the bottom (extending out the back a bit) to give it some ability to kinda surf across the water surface, since as it is now any water that hits the body of the car just slows it down to make it start sinking.
@@joeledwards6587 or he could have just build a boat :)

The fact that you’re using 3D printed wheels makes it that much more awesome!! Love the vid! I just posted a video of my xmaxx going over 5000 feet on a lake! I believe it’s a new “unofficial” world record!!
mad respect for my guy renting a whole helicopter just to film video of his rc car 💯💯💪🏼💪🏼💪🏼
5:42 thx for the very helpful subtitles
You should create two pontoon skis for the front "wheels" and just used two rear paddle wheels. Much better control and less friction.
Good idea but then it’s not a “car”
@@brendanbordeaux8421 I thought about that too, before I posted; but technically it still would be a car, since it is driven by a motor and using wheels to push off the water. However, planes that land and take off on water are still planes. They just have the ability to float and even used a runway--with some pontoons containing small wheels under them.
@@TW-lt1vr does that mean a river boat with the paddle wheel in the back is a car?
Wouldn’t work on land...
@@Tailspin80 Pontoons can have track wheels. It would.
I never noticed your teeth weren't straight until now that you have braces.
Dentist probably needs another Porsche... or the Golf course membership fee was due.
@@mbirth exactly lol
heres a little known fact, with modern false teeth, more people are happy with proper false ones than maintaining real ones.
I Had the Problem that everything looked allright but after my Dentist did an xray we where able to see that my teethroots where crooked
@@mbirth He lives in Sweden. Dentist are cheap. Don't know how old he is, but healthcare (including dentists) are free if you are 18 or younger. If you are older you can get 50% back if your visits (during a rolling one year period) is over 3000SEK (about 304USD). 85% back if it's over 15000SEK (about 1520USD). Given that, he probably got braces because he needed them. :)
CONGRATULATIONS ON 600 k SUBS
Wheels are perfect. All your car needed was a 3D printed skid plate with the front ending in a nose almost like a tugboat/sled. It’s the square bare body of the rc that sends the car down beneath the water when hitting
RC Car: Goes on water
Rainbow: I have awoken.
Man in lakeside house -
"Gunilla, Gunilla, that bloody kid is trying to drive his damned car on our lake again"
I wonder if adding underbody treatment could help keep it buoyant and or stable
Or if he actually gave it a hydroplane it would help give it elevation in the water.
I love that you didn't cheat by putting floats on the chassis. That it stays above the water is 100% due to the speed, momentum and of course your wheel design. Fantastic achievement.
Having said that, add some underbody styrofoam and it could stay out on the water all day.
I like this guy, his presentation style is unusual to say the least
6:01 holy shit the water drops created a rainbow and you can see it slowly disappear thats so cool
Hmmmm
Yeah
You
Are
Right
You know you're sick of editing your video when you just put "[swedish]" as your subtitles rather than translating what was said.
Good thing I’m Swedish
@@teodormalmgren8293 I'm not swedish but i understood what he said, at least the middle bit, the first bit sounded like just incoherent yelling with excitement, and the last bit was too faint for me to make out.
or maybe it’s just a phrase that doesn’t translate well?
@@allegorx58 From what i could gather, when it said [swedish] it sound like they're just yelling with excitement, and then Simon said "Look at that!" as he picked up the camera, and then i can't make out what else they say, and when it says [more swedish] it sound like Simon is talking about the RC Car's battery, that it's low or something.
"Thankyou for watching, I will never do this again." Priceless.
Biggest flaw or obstacle you have is your central diff doesn't feed power equally to all wheels once it hits water
Front ones spin up and bounce on the water and rear ones slow down and stop planeing
Try locking up all 3 differentials with silicone putty earplugs and try again
He’s using the hpi savage flux which could already have solid differentials available on online hobby stores
I honor this guy it took almost two weeks to make this video and the editing
Add 2 more wheels on the back and that will keep the front wheel from coming up and will triple the torque compared to when you only have 2 wheels pushing
me: hey i finally got that RC boat i was talking about
this guy: hold my green tire
RUclips compression be like: here is my time to shine.
Okay, when i heard the helicopter sound dubbed over your drone, instant like button. Nice.
Too cool! You are an excellent engineer, killer RC hydro car!
Thank you for your excellent videos! Next video could be you on your electric surfboard racing your hydro RC car 🚙 across the pond!
Hearing helicopter sounds with drone shots. Makea me laugh every time 😂😂😂
You needed to have some fins on that thing, like the front of a boat
Lanthan -Aka Loli- mabey in the middle of the tire
Change the front tires so they don't drown the back tires.
This guy an engineer bro...respect
I just found your channel and holy jesus! Look at this quality of your contents! You have my sub mr!
diffs needs to be locked otherwise you need to hit it 100% straight when trying to hydroplane
Nobody:

Everything makes sense now.

i found your chanel a couple months ago and i like it so much, it gave me a lot of ideas to do with my 3d printer, regards from mexico dudee...
Those jump cuts are on point.
“The video wasn’t horrible..... it was str8 up dogshi-“😂
0:21 lol
I can't believe in 7min u have 1.6K views and 60 comments... If that doesn't give you perspective of how many people in the world there are idk what will.
Try driving it underwater by putting concrete in the wheels
It would have to be very clear water, or else you would run the risk of losing the car. It would work in a pool, but that’s kinda small.
You would use fpv and have gps and compass so you know where it is and what direction it’s going
Finally, a true all-terrain vehicle
adding a spine down the center of the front two wheels would help keep the car straight and allow you to steer some. Check out sand tires for some similar designs to what you have and you might be able to get all the way across the lake
Change the front wheels, they creating too much drag on the water.
I second that
I 'd say that when it goes wheelie, the front wheels spin faster (because of no friction) and the rear wheels loose speed. And that's why it goes wheelie and then back down, front wheels slow down and then again it goes wheelie and the cycle repeats itself.
I'd convert it to rear wheel driven only to solve this.
he should add weigth to the front, and modify both front and rear wheels ... the should be different though, I agree with that.
@@Evans_Man it has 3 differentials one in the front and the backand a centre one where the spur gears which is why when it gets onto a wheeliethe front wheels will go faster than a back as the diff will spin the wheels that have less friction faster
@@Evans_Man Or he could go with no center diff.
PLEASE MAKE A RC 3D PRINTED BOAT WITH A 2040 MOTOR
WOOOHOOO a new RCLifeOn Video!! But I think you're overusing the term ''boring'' a little in your newer videos. Also In the older ones you always seemed SO exited about a new project, and now it often seems like you're a little annoyed..
Nonetheless your videos are still the best, the above is just how I feel about it 😉👍
I love it, it keeps making rainbow and I love it
I love the helicopter sounds during the drone shots!
Can someone explain to me how at 6:53 and again at 7:12 the film is being shot from just in front of the car?
Who is filming that and how? It is like the camera is a few centimetres in front of the car the whole time.
Probably with a drone, that's the only way I can think of. It's too stable and too continuoud for anything else basically, I think
I thought he was talking about his teeth braces.
20% of people : hey look hes walking on the water
80% of the people : hey look theres a error at (timestamp)

Please don't give up we need you for RUclips
OK, I laughed unreasonably at the chopper sounds on the drone shot. Well played.
You are the best you tuber . love your vids the fails and success .you keep it real . also it looks as you live in paradise
Great video! I'm not going to lie, those pants are the first thing I am seriously thinking about ordering that has been suggested by a RUclipsr... other than stocks...
I agree with Nik, capsbr and Manual Frias. Your front wheels should take more load, that would (hopefully) stabilize the ride. Since they don't do propulsion, you could design them to give you max uplift in the water (e.g. flat center) and some side-traction on sand (ridges along the diameter). Or - extreme version - just let the car slide at the front; with the slides having roughly the same profile: two rails on the sides and a flat center-piece (or a rail in the center and flats on the outside or ......).
Your back wheels similarly might have two sections, the center - smooth - for lift, the sides - paddles - for propulsion.
I absolutely love the project ... and your persistence.
I love the air footage with heli. sound...
Drone shots with the helicopter effects is freaking mind blowing lol
need for speed race in the water that's cool dude thanks for sharing
Love this guy so much
You should use very soft shocks cus when the wheels hits small waves they dont absorb very well and it goes deeper in the water making it loose rpm, and you should increase the contact with the water somehow
RCLifeOn: Drags wheel out of screen.
Me: Puts face in screen because of amazement
The solution is easy. Needs a flexible wheelie bar. Simple. Flexible pole/ poles coming out the back like a wheelie bar, with tiny hull on the end. Would even correct slight course deviations.
