I think you're gonna need an almost perfectly flat landing to displace all the weight and yeah throttle up after you land. Gonna take some good timing but you'll get it

Claire is so fun! One of the best parts of your vids is her being annoyed by your rc cars! 😂

What i nice area to run the rcs. The xmaxx did really well on the crossing.

Possible solutions. A ramp that's not as tall, this will let you keep your speed up but you won't get as much air. Or a slipper clutch.

Love this video. Rc cars bringing a smile to everyone's face.

Keep it up Kevin you are an inspiration 😁👍👍

From what Claire said in her video I think I could answer your question on the thumbnail, good to be back watching the vids after my holiday!

I wanted to see like this vid and you bought it!😙 And thank you once again!

Your videos are awesome Kevin!! Always a pleasure to watch them 😉 Have fun!!!

I think you need to be in a boat close to the ramp and you may need a plywood landing zone.. or skies under belly of xmaxx.

Clair looked gorgeous on this video 😍🥰

KEV you are definitely the best..... love this channel. Thank you for all the great videos.

This I definitely one of your best videos, you have come so far kevin.

I've just seen this! Looks like the boys already worked out a method but i think a ski underbelly might also work, it would need to protrude quite a bit and possibly be angled up more at the tip depending on the angle of your landing. Next time you feel another strip down coming up you should think about trying it again.

who else wants to do this???? insane! very cool to see how some people take this hobby...you obviously don't care about money anymore, just having fun...i think you are a good guy that loves what he does.... I enjoy these bash videos... thanks

WPL VS TRAXXAS!??!?! PSSSH

Love your vids brotha!!!! Suggestion : maybe try a ramp that doesn't have as much vertical incline. Longer less vert will send you sailing forward instead of up. With such a vertical incline when you smack the water you’re basically coming straight down. I would think you want to keep that forward momentum to continue the hydro plane. So more speed hit it straight with less vertical incline on the ramp. I can’t really see landing on water causing the transmission to have more stress than a jump that you land on land. Just a thought or hypothesis .

Congrats with the new Land Rover Defender 👌😍😜

Plywood landing with floats and some good hard gears would help

I wonder if softer damper can help smooth out the higher frequency shock from the water. Maybe it will go faster

Very amusing video love the water jumps Clair is in the water more than a boat lol good fun👍🏻✌🏻😀🤘🏻🇺🇸

Entertaining attempt at least ☺️ Thumbs up.

Even a $12,000.00 all titanium X-Maxx doesn’t stand a chance in your hands. Aren’t Traxxas gears made of sintered metal? Someone must be making this pinion gear from forged steel. But then YOU will be breaking shafts all over this car. Peace from the Oregon coast in the USA. Love your channel.

You should do some 1/8 scale RC buggy racing

Ramp on lower ramps to soften the impact onto the water. Your idea of letting go of the throttle is a great idea. Lower ramps could keep you on top of the water better.

Awesome vid kev👍

So much work, I don't have the time to do all this each time I feel like playing with my rc

Xmaxx: “I am inevitable” Water: “hold my beer”

Yo you need to put wings with water proof servos for flaps so hopefully be nice even straight glide down to victory

Excellent video! Very entertaining 😎👍Do the lipos survive the dunking in water? 😯😮

Love your channel Merry Christmas

Respect from the UK bro.

Great video Kevin.

lower you suspension height to when it hits the water it can aqua plane a bit and then get grip. plus locked diff with slipper clutch. PS: you are awesome! keep it coming.

loved the video kev

Have you thought about trying this with your E REVO 2.0?

Love your channel man !

The Power of the Motor is insane

Ooohhh nooo!!!🤣😂 Kev u should of FPV it, better view for hitting the juicy ramp!!!...🤣😂😂☺️👍🏽👊🏽✊🏽

Elmer Fudd calm down guy. Great 👍🏻 seeing that go on water.

How about mounting a set of ski's on the front of the lower chassis & maybe it will keep the front up, & let the rear dig in. Plus, you're still going to have power to the front to help pull it through the initial impact on the water. I have a friend who did exactly that set up on a Suzuki 450cc motocross bike & he went like a bat outta hell for over a 200+ foot crossing & had no issues. It was absolutely amazing. Maybe it could work on the Big X.....best of luck my friend, & keep your videos coming. Big fan here in NJ, USA.

Is it possible to add a tube filled with air inside the tires to help keep the car more buoyant ?....Think about it......Sounds like a good idea to me.....What do you think ??🏎

Maybe you shoud keep up the full power of the xmaxx wheels so when it lands on water, the rotation of the wheels will keep on rowing against the water both keeping it upfloat and possibly pushing it back and make it run again against water! Hoping you make it jump and run soon sir!

That looks so fun, I had mine all prepped to go to ge beach next Monday... then it but then it spontaneously combusted into flames. Now the middle of me xmaxx is charred and I need a new max6

You should drive the Xo-1 across water with paddle tires.

"For extremely flat surfaces" Don't think this is what traxxas had in mind.

Love ur channel man

Slipper clutch adjustments, all metal gears& throttle Control 🏅

Kev can you do a vid with rc boats?

I think you need to start with a slightly shallower ramp and work the angle up to see how steep it will work. You need to keep up a skimming effect which requires a low angle. It might help if you screw the tip of an old water ski to the front of the car. An old school kids plastic ski for toddlers to learn on snow might be perfect, you might even fit 2x tips. But i'm sure you can bodge something together.

missed it by that much![--------------------------]👍💕

That looks absolutely epic

That looked so cooll nice

Epic Video dude did make me chuckle 👍👍👍👍👍

Great try I've been wondering when someone would try this and of course it was you lol!

WOOOOOO LETS GOOOOOO

When u got in the boat, I thought you forgot to take the car lol

A boat has a flexible shaft to help with rotational speed variances as it crosses the waves and uses so much power to rotate in the water, the gears offer no match for the force of the water, in fact you can't even shoot a bullet in the water as it slows anything down quickly without propulsion, you'll need a slipper clutch minimum to stop this, maybe better grade metal will help but the sudden stopping of the wheels is going to stress most metals

ok, this is epic

Killer if they have a less steep jump go for that if there's one that's a little shallower it won't launch as high into the air and it will make for a smoother Landing

Going to keep stripping the gears because you're tires are cranking the rpms on water then you hit solid ramp and it creates some serious resistance. You need to set the ramp up on dry land and jump into the water

Hay, your channel is the best RC channel that is on KZread.

Nice Kevin the poor xmaxx. I was at the live stream

I think it's possible, but would need to be a much shallower jump, it's always going to bury itself landing off a big one where as a shallower one should act more like a skipping stone.

Fun video... My slash 2wd does 70km/h on 2s... btw Its 2 am

Perhaps try some buoyant skidplate under the Xmaxx. Something like foam board. Basically a small body board strapped to the bottom of the chassis. Maybe a kids floatation "kickboard" swimming aid would be around the right size.

Have a like because of the choice of music (Rosenberg trio)

Great vid as always, I think the jump was to big and to heavy of a car I’d try a much smaller jump thats more for distance. Have a good one bud. ✌️🤘

Im the only person in my family that likes rc , so im the only one that can support my channel and hobby . I wish life went my way for once . Thank god bashfest exists . Btw nice vid kev lol

To keep it floating you probably need some foam (styrofoam or foam with large air pockets in it) under the chassis. Mount it on place with some tape.

Try a balloon type ring good show thanks u can bolloon cover all electric parts gd luck

Hey Kevin! Im pretty sure those ramps are too steep upwards, making the xmax jump, slow down mid air, and practically drop into the water making it impossible to continue at enough speed for it to continue going on the water. Maybe if you made a more shallow jump, and kept up as much speed as possible, would the xmax be able to continue driving after the jump.

@muskokamike127

exactly what I was going to say. Dropping it into the water at that height basically is like dropping it into wet concrete. A lower angle would be like skipping a stone.....at a certain velocity, water is literally as hard as concrete so what he has to do is up the velocity, and lower the angle.

Awesome. Great vid. Get you a protek pinion gear. Or anything but traxxas

Very nice!

I think you should try to harden your gear. Heat it with the gas burner until it glows and cool quickly in oil. I have tried it on other rc parts and it works perfectly :-) Greetings to all

Wicked video bud.......You need to find a jump that is not so steep so you dont loose so much forward speed . then when you land the wheel speed and forward speed will be a little closer to equal .... =less shock on the drive train/pinion....good luck man!!!!!

I love traxxas

Man, I don't think it can be done but if you manage to land it, that would be impressive 👍🏼
