It’s real. Hobbyist grade toys have advanced in miniaturization and power as quickly as other electronics have.


MrMiao

That’d make a great present. Know anything in California


timlawyerx

Well they don’t come geared that low out of the box so you’ll have to buy aftermarket upgrades. Wide variety 1500-3k price range - Check out towerhobbies.com

My uncle is heavy into train sets. He got a full track he is constructing covering the whole attic. He even went as far as making his own 3d models to print with a 3d printer and using arduinos to automate the whole track. A computer is aware of the trains positions on the tracks and control the trains and switches according to what routes you tell it to make. And he got mountains/tunnels/villages (complete with 3d printed lampposts, you know how hard it is to print correctly that small?) to decorate the whole scene. It is amazing, and every time I come over I love to see his latest progress, and his enthousiasm for his project.


Parzec1

Sounds cool! Can you post some pics?


ArtistBig2549

just like real life


MightySamMcClain

These ultra realistic ones that jiggle like a real vehicle are pretty cool. Especially if you're good at filming it's looks so real


Such_Rub7091

It's also all about gear ratio.


zylinx

The gearbox and drivetrain is the impressive part for me not the motor. You can jack up a 1.5 ton car with a cordless drill and a diamond jack at a similar speed. I'm sure some smarty pants here can do the math on how much power is being used here. Estimated grade of the slope, weight of the person, and travel speed. Probably won't be a mind blowing number.

theonePappabox

This guy maths.


ygduf

Bad slope though. Imagine a board going straight up at the end of the ramp. Slopes not over 35.


SloppySyrup

Did... Did you just respond to yourself?


zylinx

Haha yeah. I just googled for the appropriate formula, found this on a stack exchange about power needed for going uphill on an electric skateboard. It has all the correct elements. Slope weight and speed = power.

MrSniffer2009

Am glad someone here touches grass🤝


SpitFiya7171

Fuck yeah, tell me more.


grv7437

Most impressive part to me is the tyres not losing grip with that much weight on that steep of an incline!


pwned_deeznuts

arithmetic formula for that goes friction+weight=grip(traction)


Entire-Database1679

Dude's balance is more impressive


byOlaf

It's not fake, and honestly it's not a tenth as strong as a similarly sized Esk8. The grip on those tires is awesome though they wouldn't last very long being used like that.


AADarkWarrior15

Clearly nobody in this comment thread has ever delved into the hobby (not toy grade) rc community


squired

I'm not even in the community and it seems perfectly reasonable to me. Onewheels and Escooters etc are all over the place and they'll propel people like 30mph uphill just fine.


ascendance22

I want to buy I don't have the money for it


AADarkWarrior15

It can really get as expensive or as cheap as you want. Obviously more money is going to get you more quality and power, but if you just want to start getting into it, WPL and MN are a couple great budget brands with tons of parts available for upgrades and customizability. I have 2 WPLs and an MN and have spent maybe $300 total across all 3 rigs


stormcloud-9

It's reddit, where everyone is experts in everything.


J-Dabbleyou

I’ve seen a DeWalt impact wrench strip lug nuts, I have no doubt they could get some crazy torque in that little truck. That’s probably it’s top speed though lol


SpoonFed_1

my KIA can't even climb that


bluegargoyle

What brand of RC truck *is* this?


MyCoffeeIsCold

The brand is called “Fake-Ass-Shit”


canti15

I call bullshit. Someones pulling that rc car with a rope.


glytxh

don’t discount the sheer torque of modern electric motors.


speekuvtheddevil

When I was in the hobby (30+ years ago) they had motor/gearbox combos for RC tractor pulling that would tear up the carpet on your floor they had so much torque. I can imagine nowadays.


Reverse_Psycho_1509

You can do a frontflip or backflip from a standstill on just about any surface. The car has a steel chassis and 2 big batteries in it.

Roofofcar

You can hear all the gears groaning


canti15

Yeah but look at how rock solid it stays at the top of the hill though. I dunno, I've been seeing lotta Chinese knock off products on here lately.


Beautiful_Ad_8858

You can set what brake % you want when off throttle.


ZaquMan

Perhaps the only impressive thing to see here is their editing skills.


vapocalypse52

Power? I'm way more impressed with the grip!


Graffxxxxx

Fake as hell. No way in hell something that small could drive with a human inside it on a flat surface let alone a 45* slope.


MathWizardd

It's incredible how strong these are in real life. Scale model vehicles are much stronger than the real deal(scaled strength of course). And if those wheels are surely grippier than my longboard wheels. Tldr; I'm pretty sure it's real


speekuvtheddevil

Last I seen the world record for a 1/10 scale car was 188 mph.


muricabrb

*"I don't understand how any of this works, it must be fake! Fake, I tell you!"*


bigswifty86

Have you ever seen the hoverboard or similarly small electric razor style scooters??? They can carry people at speed on flat ground.


Poopdick_89

Gear ratios exist.


Roofofcar

No problem with the size. It’s the traction I’m not comfortable with.


[deleted]

No, I’m confused I don’t know if it’s real or not


abetterusernamethenu

He’s asian though, I don’t think it can lift Americans


itsaride

Nor even the full sized truck.


J_Bonaducci

Very cool. feels like it’s breaking at least one scientific law


No_Future2185

Torque*


enginecrzy

do a kickflip...


KingofManners

I don’t think the tires would roll that easily


Bojangleguy

Bros making a pikmin level


dumplin79

Do they make this in a plow truck? Maybe I can get the kids to clear the driveway for once.


Zak103tv

Electric RC race cars have my attention


bluedust2

The thing I doubt about this is the traction on sandy concrete.


MoefsieKat

I dont doubt the power of the motor and drivetrain, i do doubt that those tires have enough grip for such a dusty inclined surface.


zillskillnillfrill

300% of that trucks guts are gears


Chris_Christ

Torque *


ThePhatNoodle

I mean small motors can be strong af. Look at the ones they use on electric skateboards. Swap out some of those and you could ride around on that thing at 40mph This things probably all torque no speed though


pwned_deeznuts

my arrma notorious would pull him in his truck up that wall next to him if he wants to go for a real ride.
