Is it possibly be tires are buoyant enough to keep the car floating at all times?
slickrick9
Is it going backwards?

+1 for username, made me chuckle

+1 for the title.

People do that with their snowmobiles in scandinavia

Most of the real rc cars made today can do this.

They do it on a full sized cars and bikes too.

DELS! This is in Rhode Island! Man, I miss that fucking frozen lemonade.
OhMyGodTheyKilledKennedyYouBastards
THANK YOU! I thought I was the only one to catch that.

Surprisingly several of these trucks would remain buoyant at idle. Add brushless power and you got a boat
S1lv3rflame
With high mAh Lipo batteries (often 2 in a car) makes them too heavy to remain buoyant at idle.
intashu
Depends on the truck and tires. This truck easily would sink if sitting still, but (specially with paddles) would breeze over the water.
intashu
My stampede used to float with sealed tires. But it wasnt brushless and wouldn't be remarkable in the water... And not waterproof either.
Tennman1
Daaaaayummmm!
Visiblur
It's not floating, it's driving so fast that it creates a layer of pure speedforce under the tyres.

@MyPenisIsBigInSomeCountries Is that a Traxxas Bigfoot or Slash by chance??! ;)
ghoscanCat
Ours is a slash 4x4, that looks like a big-foot.
torturedblonde
Yeah, I think you're right! We should totally try this with our Slash @ the lake by Mom's house!! ;))

This is what happens when you let Jesus take the wheel.

yourmotherandIthinkyoushouldmoveout
It's a Traxxas X-maxx .I tried this about 15 years ago with an HPI Nitro Rush. It's still at the bottom of Mission Viejo lake I'd presume

Greyeyes1973
I did it across a small pond with my JATO once but it was a really shallow pond just in case
NKato
HPI...that wasn't cheap.
Nize426
Is the Traxxas x-maxx (bit much on the 'x's) naturally buoyant? Or just enough air to keep is semifloating. Or it's actually sheer speed
yourmotherandIthinkyoushouldmoveout
Big air filled tires and speed. Those tires are spinning so fast that it hydroplanes but will sink if it slows too much, flips, etc.

I won't even do this with my slash, way too risky
Remiah
The slash is also a lot bigger and heavier. I would risk my brushless bandit or rustler any time
yourmotherandIthinkyoushouldmoveout
The slash is 1/10th scale. The Xmaxx is 1/5th. Slash is tiny.
Remiah
Actually x Maxx and slash are available in many different scales. I saw 1/5 : 1/6 : 1/8 : 1/10 and 1/16 online.
yourmotherandIthinkyoushouldmoveout
Actually, you're wrong. There's only one X-maxx. Yeah, there areonly two scales to the Slash, but nobody cares about 1/16th.
yourmotherandIthinkyoushouldmoveout
Then there are the t-maxx and e-maxx at 1/10th scale.
misterbookman
Just don't let off the throttle because that shit will sink like a rock... a very expensive rock..........Well maybe a semi-expensive rock.
Kodaxmax
The expensive petrol/diesal powered RC cars a super light and super powerful
skribs
Depends on your budget. For Bill Gates it would sink like a cheap rock.
sickburn
$950, Traxxas X-Maxx. 20-30 lbs. 50mph.
Tylendal
No problem. Just take a snowmobile to go down and get it.
CraftedLine
800$ roughly? I live by Traxxas
railgap
air filled tires, mate.
Iammoney45
As a kid I had a amphibious RC Car, it wasn't this fast in the water, but it was at least 10y ago. IIRC it wasn't too expensive.
lopsidedoreo
Semi-expensive rock was my nick name in highschool
MisterLemons
I was thinking the same thing, but I'd bet those tires are pneumatic.
Conboss
Thousand dollar minitruck...
Coyote8
Its an E-maxx, it definitely floats
yourmotherandIthinkyoushouldmoveout
Not an E-maxx. X-maxx. Only Video I know of https://www.facebook.com/MHORRC/videos/731037527074902/
Ripi
Traxxas 8s X-Maxx?
azgrak
Probably float but, float tires up. Ruined anyways.
imnotmattdamon
*anyway
iamthugnasty
How heavy is a good rc? They have disproportionately large tires so they could possibly float.
Buttholium
I have a nitro powered rc and it is a heavy beast. It definitely would not float even with it's large tires
NickJames23
The plastic chassis/shell is packed with foam noodles
FernandoRumdebum
The battery is a heavy fecker (about 2lbs/1 kilo for a car that size). If petrol engine they're not as heavy, but still a fair bit. 1/
FernandoRumdebum
2/ Also there's not much air in the tires really
DerKeksinator
Had a baja, it was 8kg...
lronMaiden
Baja is gas powered 1/4 scale. My 1/8 buggy was around 4 kilos with 6s 6000mah lipo. 1/8 and 1/10 are normal sizes för RC.
DefunkMyJunk
I have a nitro RC but the tires aren't inflated
Conboss
Share? I had electric and really want to get a nitro one
DefunkMyJunk
It's not a really good one, I was just a kid and went for a cheap one: Kyosho Inferno MP7.5 sports 3 (right out of my head lol)
BelarusianPotatoFarmer
Heavy enough to sink. Most off-road tires are vented to let water drain as they have foam in the tire.
Conboss
I exploded my tires because I went to fast on road... fun time!
PrincessDonaldTrumpBANNED
Unless he built it himself
holyguacamonica
Foam floats super well.
dj505
Until you fill it with water, getting rid of the air. By itself it still floats, but can't hold anything else up.
SwitchPup
...are we thinking of a different type of foam? Because there are a lot of foam pool toys that float, even with weight on them. The foam

My cousin used to do this on his snowmobile, then one day his engine choked or something and it sunk to the bottom of the lake
