I just love the Villain, I am having one after watching some of these videos on here, I think the truck and trailer are fantastic aswell, thanks for showing off I like it, many thanks.
@lolroflbot123: Hi, this trailer has 4 wheels. They are on an 'axle' that is really just an all-thread rod. At the time the wheels did not have back up nuts to keep them tight. They only had acorn nuts on the outside of the wheels. Because the wheels on one side of the trailer roll 'backwards' against the threads of the rod, they tended to unscrew themselves and fall off, and then their was nothing holding the wheel back from coming off the axle.
my dad and i are making one at the moment and have a 2wd brushless. we are making the tralier out of metal and old r/c monster truck wheels. by the way love this video
@timgaylehughes: This is the Villain "EX" I like this boat a lot. It is very easy to set up and run. It performs very well, and it handles flat or choppy water with aplomb. It is enormous fun for the money. It is very, very durable and rugged. Unlike the current crop of RTR fast electric boats, that are routinely burning up ESC's and LiPo batteries, the Villain EX does not suffer from any of those maladies. It's slower than those FE's, but it is far more reliable and you can count on it 100%.
@timgaylehughes: Yes, I do. I have about 20 or so built, and more in kits to be built. My favorites are the scale boats, the kind you can just set your throttle trim one or two clicks above stop and then cruise slowly for a couple of hours. ;)
@Daylo97: I imagine there is someone out there making trailers you can buy. Search the RC forums and ask around in them. I mounted the trailer using a hitch I custom built for the Summit.

Hey. I was wondering, where can I get these amazing boat trailers? I'm in love with RC boating, and I really want to go realistic with trailers. Any ideas for trailers and maybe good trucks?
I love the truck and the boat Very nice video setup How much would all that cost all 2 gether im geting a U-1 hydroplane boat prettty soon and im going 2 have it cutom made what kinda of idea's could u give me 2 customize the boat ?
Well, no, I don't think I will make a video about the camera on the boat. lol... But I can tell you, it was just the same GoPro camera on the truck, as well as the boat. I just shot the scenes, changed the camera to the boat, taped it down, and shot those scenes. Then I edited the scenes together to produce the video you see here. :)
Hi, I personally do not own a Spartan but many guys in my club do. They are in a completely different class than the Villain. Much more expensive to buy, require more expensive batteries, are way, way faster and require more skill to operate, and are much larger in size. They are indeed nice boats, but not for a beginner in my opinion. Look at Proboat brand, some nice boats that are equivalent to the Villain in cost and performance. The Blast is small, slow, and you will be disappointed I think.
@xKmotx do u have any other boats than the villain ex? If so what is your favorite?(: I'm wanting to get into rc boating cuz right now I'm only doin rc cars
They are always working on them. But then they are racers. And yeah they burn up stuff on a pretty regular basis because they always want to go faster, lol...

That's really cool how you have a little trailer for the Villain EX. I'm gonna try and find one for myself :D
Awesome video man. I love it and now I want a Villian with a trailer lol just no where to run it haha. Good stuff and great driving!

sweet vid man. i have a summit and villian iv,and plan to build my own trailor also.
Supercool! Now you just need to trade in the Villian for a Spartan
@timgaylehughes: I am very satisfied. It is an engineering tour de force. The thought that went into creating this truck is staggering.

Pretty slick and shallow ramp
NICE BOAT
nice scale trailer!
lol at the wheel falling off the trailer at 0:44 haha
@Daylo97: I imagine there is someone out there making trailers you can buy. Search the RC forums and ask around in them. I mounted the trailer using a hitch I custom built for the Summit.
@teknofil007: Thank you for the nice comment. And, good luck with your new Bandit VXL. :)
very good vid
congratulations
Cool video!
Nice Video!!!
Cool! Be sure to post a video and link it here. :)
@timgaylehughes: Yes. It also took many 'takes', and switching the onboard cameras around. It was quite an involved project.
Man, this is too cool. You should send it to traxxas.
@skylinegrechy Thanks! Good luck with your custom trailer! :)
so this *trailer maker and boat cover maker* is someone that im sure you know really well and not obvious at all
cool, nice clip !
sweet video
That was sick and funny
It's starting to look like Traxxas only wants to sell the $500 Spartan!
Where about's in FL does it look similar? :)
This was filmed at Hansen Dam in California.
great idea
i love this video !
great product
@TheCrazyd1996: I built a scale type custom drop down hitch and ball and bolted it to the back bumper.
Very scaled, nice vid.
Verry good !
@lolroflbot123: You're welcome. Good luck with your trailer build! :)
Vielen Dank!

Can I buy one of these?? And also how did u mount the trailer to the truck?
LOL,You should take that trailer back to the tire shop and have that dude fired, he could have caused a major pile up on the freeway.
They are always working on them. But then they are racers. And yeah they burn up stuff on a pretty regular basis because they always want to go faster, lol...
Cam on the Boat? (could your make a Quick video about that?) THANKS

@rowen211: Because the mechanic at the tire shop didn't torque down all the lugnuts properly!
Very cool but would have rathered a different choice of music such as van halen.
Also ever consider trying something like that with a slash 4x4?
Did you make the trailer or did you buy it somewhere?
