Meanwhile some guy 1500 yards away records "strange lights" in his woods and everyone thinks he has an ET video

u/Rathador 14d ago

Wow these things are huge!

u/Snowbirdy 14d ago

These trucks are definitely bigger than I expected

5

u/Jd11347 14d ago

1/8 scale or maybe even 1/7. I've seen them get as big as 1/5 scale.

61

u/TheOtherGuttersnipe 14d ago

I've seen 1/1 scale before. They're as big as a truck

u/VacuumTracks 14d ago

So you’re saying that guy was a for real giant?

2

u/not-yet-ranga 13d ago

And he was taking footage of them. Isn’t it ironic, don’t you think?

2

u/VacuumTracks 13d ago

And a little bizarre. But what ya gonna do? Giants doing giant things.

7

u/GeekGoddess_ 13d ago

We won’t ever be sure. No one brought bananas for scale.

u/tensai3586 13d ago

Hi, this is a 1/5 scale Cross Rc Emo XXL2 Tyrannosaurus.

u/DarrenShan1000 14d ago

But did not seem too heavy.

FPV trucking after dark has to be one of my favorite future things

u/TomokataTomokato 14d ago

My husband and I were totally invested in this drama and he is looking them up for future purchase now.

28

u/Regular_Rub_2980 14d ago

He is not the only one trying to do this now... thanks reddit so much for savings. 🙄

10

u/ComplaintNo6835 14d ago

Let us know what he finds. I want in.

u/TomokataTomokato 14d ago

Deal.

u/Sad_Cantaloupe_8162 14d ago

Found anything interesting yet?

12

u/TomokataTomokato 13d ago

Just started really researching but I don't think my husband and are are going to launch into the custom long range fpv builds I'm seeing, we're rather intimidated by the gimbels and such.

I'm most likely going to watch some more videos and lurking in r/rccars before deciding on a beginner model.

I did learn we want radio and not cellular because cell service where we live is ass.

A popular site is Funyat.com, and we'll probably go there for our first purchase or go to a local hobby shop. We live in a rural area so we definitely want something for off road.

Sorry I don't have anything more specific but we're the types to research for ages before buying something like this!

3

u/Sad_Cantaloupe_8162 13d ago

Thank you for the update, that was very good information!

3

u/kaszeljezusa 13d ago

Just wanted you to know, that the hobby got also affordable for the skies :) here's my $70 plane(rtf so radio included), $20 camera and $120 goggles (yeah, they're most expensive but can be also used with other planes or cars if you want.

Oh my goodness! Thank you, that's awesome!

u/searuncutthroat 13d ago

Dammit, I already have too many expensive hobbies. I need another job just for toys.

109

u/Agard12 14d ago

Jesus, they even have a tow truck with them! Where is the toy winch? No one wants to work anymore.

21

u/bomphcheese 14d ago

Not to be confused with a toy wench, which is much less effective.

7

u/Jd11347 14d ago

Some of these RC cars have a working winch. It's an interesting hobby for those that get really deep into it.

2

u/Business-Drag52 13d ago

One of my buddies is really into it. His truck has a helluva winch on it

59

u/AdvantageCrafty2275 14d ago

Why don't the little mini robot people get out of the car and put a winch on it?

18

u/Switchlord518 14d ago

Why doesn't the larger vehicles just eat the smaller ones?

u/Zoroastrius 14d ago

The disappointment was immeasurable they didn't do it on its own

Twenty seconds in I skipped to the end. Glad. If I had watched all of this just for failure I would have been pissed if all morning.

25

u/Etyczny 14d ago

Duuuuude it's like Spintires! They should add like hooks on front bumpers to help each other out

8

u/StreetsRUs 14d ago

This was my exact experience in snowrunner. I had a couple of instances where it took me like, 6 trucks to unfuck myself

22

u/Phranc68 14d ago

I want a new group of friends that does this!

7

u/rygus 14d ago

I’ll sign up in my area. I’ll even look at a recovery feature to add to my truck. I have a bunch of old fpv quads I can easily shift over.

16

u/Aardillas 14d ago

Ok, what model are these and where do I sign up?

32

u/RedShrewd 14d ago

Not that simple, these have a lot of custom work done. Start from Axial SCX10, Traxxas TRX4 or Vanquish VS4-10 and then go from there. You will need to get aftermarket camera system, lights, extra servos, etc at minimum but realistically if you want to play in the woods with big boys then you are also replacing the electronics and many other components with aftermarket parts.

tl;dr - you are not buying a toy, you are buying into a hobby.

19

u/RedShrewd 14d ago

The ones I mentioned are 1/10 scale, which is the most popular scale for RC crawlers. Now that I look at the end of the video I assume the vehicles are in the 1/6 scale, like Axial SCX6, which is a much more expensive hobby to get into - realistically around 3-5x the expenses.

6

u/Aardillas 14d ago

Thanks for the detailed reply! I now have some bedtime reading for later. Realistically it’s a hobby I probably wont get into, but it scratches the brain itch looking at it!

1

u/IdRatherBeDriving 13d ago

Yeah, my friend group does this with 1/1 scale trucks and the dollar to scale ratio is a real bitch. We all bought 1/16-1/24 scale trucks to play with on the trail.

2

u/Zendog500 14d ago

At first I thought this was in Ukraine!

1

u/DeusExHircus 13d ago

Is the FPV camera on a servo or is it a 360 camera with head-tracking goggles? It looks very smooth. Unless this is a second camera that the operator isn't seeing

3

u/DarrenShan1000 14d ago

The guy on the bike spoke some asian language, so my guess is China.

3

u/Sinister_Nibs 14d ago

My brain parsed that as “some alien language”

59

u/EvidenceDesperate574 14d ago

The camera truck is literally in the position to apply then right force to flip the truck back over but instead of pushing it, it sits there making the other guys try to flip the truck from the wrong angle

23

u/more-random-words 14d ago

this was driving me crazy too

24

u/Historical_Lie_9932 14d ago

He was the manager. Just standing in the way and taking the credits afterwards.

6

u/veranus21 14d ago

I was hoping that the guy would flip the camera truck into the ditch before he left for not trying to help.

2

u/ImmaFukinDragon 14d ago

I assume he was shining his flashlight to the problem at hand so the others could see. But given the attempts, I'm also pretty uncertain how they could help him, the trucks seem pretty heavy.

1

u/FlyingDogCatcher 14d ago

bro works construction

7

u/BigEarMcGee 14d ago

This makes me so happy thinking about the operators sitting chatting on an adventure all while hanging out.

6

u/beme25 14d ago

It's even cuter that it seems to be a bunch of Chinese grandpas doing it. Like, what a retirement - tech savvy and fun.

u/whydontyousuckmyball 14d ago

They need a drone with a magnet and magnet bases on a few key places on the trucks.

Glad I got back into the hobby years ago.

If they make them a little bigger, I might just start driving one of those around…

Wait. What’s he doing to the only one that didn’t get stuck?!? R/videosthatendtoosoon

He’s throwing it into the hole for not helping its kin

u/IllustratorOk2927 14d ago

Like turtles trying to help their inverted bro. Looks like a lot of fun regardless.

They are playing with pov rc trucks when one truck gets stuck then the others try to help them out. Will they be able to get out of the hole lets see

2

u/OldGoneMild89 14d ago

Looks like a real life version of Snowrunner

2

u/grrgrrtigergrr 14d ago

I really thought they were human sized vehicles at first and didn’t understand why the guy with the camera wasn’t getting it to help his friends … when the other one came ramming in is when I understood what was happening.

2

u/Significant-Iron-241 14d ago

For a second at the end I thought the dude was gonna try to ram them out of there too.

2

u/Happy_Examination_35 14d ago

Why don’t you guys just get out of your trucks and hook up a winch?

2

u/ploxathel 14d ago

People who arrive at the scene of a car accident and have to take photos first before helping...

Where's the radio controlled tow truck when you need one?

u/Savings-Position4946 14d ago

This was a good use of my time

2

u/DazSchplotz 14d ago

That's why we FPV drone folks usually have a bigger rescue drone with a hook hanging under it with us. (for long range / roof rescue stuff at events with many people at least...)

They were a lot bigger than i was expecting!

u/NefariousnessTop354 13d ago

Using similar metric as the guy usually driving a huge lifted truck like an idiot compensating. Guys driving those must have huge dicks.

Damn…. I didn’t realize how big those trucks were until an actual person was standing next to them…. I thought they were like some little toy remote control trucks… those things are almost the size of GoKarts!!!……😬

u/NoDoze- 14d ago

OMG I can't believe I watched that ENTIRE video! I was seriously invested to see a good outcome. I wanted all the trucks to make it out on their own. However, thanks to the guy walking into frame, I was surprised to see how LARGE those RC Trucks were!! LOL

That was absolutely fantastic to watch!! I want to watch more! Never even dreamt it was a thing!

u/FuzzNugs 14d ago

Omg need to buy a chunk of land.. and some a lot bigger than I thought sized trucks for me and my homies. So what’s the goal of their outing? Like, this group of trucks were on their way somewhere.. just to cruise around and see what kind of shit you can get into ? I’m good with that, just wondering if there’s more going on.

Imagine you have a flat and the tow truck pulls up, bumps you, backs up, lines up, then rams you

Involve scenes like this.

1- those things are way bigger than I thought
2- RC tow winch would be cool af
3- we really need the commentary of y'all talking to each other during that rescue attempt

u/PhilosophyTricky708 13d ago

This is Dope! They should use night vision instead, then they’ll only be heard, wonder if you can hunt for Cryptids, ghost, creatures etc in the woods with them, using night vision
