ICE ROAD TRUCKER - IT'S NOT EASY PULLING A HEAVY LOAD - Even at 1/14th scale | RC ADVENTURES

Of course, all in Parody form.. ICE ROAD TRUCKING is something I have been discussing with my friends for years in the Radio Control hobby. Some of our viewers know that I like to "spoof" TV shows and bring them to reality in an RC world. Well, until today.. there has been no really way to bring it to the public. Conditions have to be PERFECT for it to work.. and thankfully after many years of waiting - today it was perfect.
#1 - My truck has locked differentials. ALL the time. This is not optional and makes concrete and asphalt driving difficult with a heavy loaded trailer. Usually I would use a Jeep (dolly) for heavy loads. Well, since I am hitting the ice road today.. the locked differentials come in very handy. Also, having the proper tires helps a great deal. I know, I know... "I should have some chains".. but again.. work better in theory than in practice with these smaller 1/14th scale trucks.
I am pulling a heavy trailer today. Approximately 40 lbs. In full size.. a trommel trailer will weigh in at about 49,000lbs.. or 22,000 Kilos. Either way.. a SUPER Heavy Load.
Normally the Canal I was driving on today is covered in snow.. and wind swept. The temperature is usually too cold also.. but today.. Mint. So.. out came the truck and trailer.. and I got loading. Then the PULL WAS ON! Don't worry.. the ice is 3 inches thick.. and only 3 inches of water under that..
PLEASE NOTE : A LOT of our viewers ask is where to buy Semi Trucks, Trailers & Forklifts, after seeing our show. I compiled a list of amazon links for you to look through to get an idea of how much and what you might be interested in. There are a variety of ways to build these trucks - so I have added some parts you might end up wanting. They all can be customized, but for an easy start - these will get you going.

You really captured the over the top drama........ ;-)

[@TheRealRCSparks]

You should try our Parody series "KZbin GOLD".. heh.. then you will understand how much Drama I actually do capture.. haha "Loading Kings" is pretty good too..

[@208fireman]

@@TheRealRCSparks oh yeah I've been watching everything. I discovered KZbin Gold last month. My favorite part is the side by side stop and go scenes, overly elaborate conveyor system, and more gold than most Hoffman clean ups! Don't forget the 21 priority brother.

[@TheRealRCSparks]

@@208fireman Right on brother! Thanks for spending some time on my channel. I hope it continues to distract you during this questionable period in the world. #stayhealthy

Hey, do you have any type of snow tires with spikes on them or chains or something?

[@andrewedwards8159]

Where do u get all ur rc collection from

[@coffeyscarburetors6437]

Where is your wide load sign!!! Safety man. Or else the dot is gonna stop you.

[@coffeyscarburetors6437]

Would also like to see the x maxx riping that ice up.

[@hillninjasadventures5169]

Awesome..o boy if you got that weather that means it will be here soon

[@danthelocksmithman]

the end where you can see that you sliped! love it.

[@rowntrp]

So many shots where it looks like a real 1:1 truck. 😀

[@Ricky_R]

MORE Ice Road Trucking PLEASE!!! This has lots of potential !!!!!!

[@TheRealRCSparks]

The reason it is so rare.. is because the conditions have to be "just right". This was a rare time that I was able to do it. It was as good as it was because Ive been thinking about it for a long time. I will do more if we can .. but its very tough to execute.

[@matthewmitchell3043]

Ok so I found KZbin gold a couple months ago and I'm addicted. I have so many questions so I'm going back and starting from season one.. holy cow I'm 4 episodes in and what a difference from where I caught on. Love all your scale stuff from the builds to the shows keep it up. So very entertaining

[@rookie101_]

Lucky you managed to get unstuck or you’d have been spending the night on the ice! Lol

[@unoefxz]

not only am I laughing hysterically 5 minutes in, you are reading my mind, "should have chained up" came out of my mouth seconds prior...

[@pistolstart]

as a trucker getting ready for the winter this made me very happy. I always look forward to the winter. Its really not that bad.

[@limatime8776]

I just died when you greased the fifth wheel and then cleand the truck off with the air hose lmao

[@scottharris6423]

Must chain those front tires, maybe it will steer better. But the trucker conquered the Ice Road. Did his job!

[@PnPentTV]

I Love When Guys Bring Out The Semi Trucks...You Must Do More Videos With These Trucks...You Should Get all The Guys Together With There Trucks & Put Them Out There On The Ice...

[@satorrotas]

Excellent run on the ice, thankfully it is thick, because the truck must be heavy with his trailer, very good parody and well done, great video!

[@josephsias1319]

The sound kit and throttle control are perfect

[@mainebearhunter3444]

There is no doubt why you are the best on utube . Must see tv my friend, love it !

The tree in the back drop made me think that was real machinery for a second, the amount of detail on them is crazy lol. Great video keep on Ice Road Trucking!

[@TATEXPRESSINC]

Awesome Video!🎥

[@Shadow-ol2ik]

I was nervous when the ice was cracking I thought for sure the driver should have his door open so he could bail out. Glad he made it safe and sound 👍

[@MRREE-zw6xc]

Crazy how cold it got!! Just seemed like you just tossed your boat in that same canal!! Have fun my friend!! From warm Southern California

[@Stickies72]

Too cool, Ice Road trucking looks like soo much fun. Thanks for sharing with those of us who do not ever get any snow, here in Socal we hardly get a winter at all.

[@The_RC_Guru]

As a real truck driver who drives the snow and ice mountains all the time, you can know full well what you’re doing and still have the seat sucked up your behind in an instant from a wind gust. Slow down n keep ur fifth wheel greased. This video is pretty accurate for solid ice conditions. I’ve never drove over frozen lakes though. Chains on your front drive axle def would’ve helped a lot here. Cheers.

Yeeeaahhh man ,that was not an easy transport but you did a fantastic job.......thumbs up my friend👍👍

[@TRKISH324]

Great show, Medic! Thanks for always keeping us entertained! A must watch channel for me!

[@RetiredTechnician]

Yes.. I really hope this becomes a winter series 😁.. Or if any big companys are willing to send you a mini rotator for recovering crashed vehicles on the icy roads 👌

[@MrJohnny2thumbs]

YES YES YES and so much more YYYEEESSSSS!!!!! Please make this another series like youtube gold was. Since we do get 8 months of winter lol

[@mjr412]

MrJohnny2thumbs another video like this would be very much appreciated, only get about 8 days of cold weather here sunny central Florida 🤣

[@TheRealRCSparks]

I dont think you guys heard me about how difficult it is to do this, and how rare the conditions are perfect. So.. i did this one so folks could enjoy it :) If there is more opportunity.. I will check it out. but usually there is too much snow and very windy. Its not fun to be out in.

[@MrJohnny2thumbs]

@@mjr412 lol you lucky son of a bitch lol

[@MrJohnny2thumbs]

@@TheRealRCSparks completely understand and hope this winter will be good to you on the ranch and you are able to make more ice road video's. Until them I will continue to support you

[@freddieflanders]

I would love to see more of the awesome tow truck you made that would look great in ice road trucking

[@kurtguy4336]

Freddie Flanders totally agree now that he has a good amount of trailers and trucks he could totally fake a little accident and use the wrecker to recover jayme Davis style lol

Like a mixture of ice road truckers and highway threw hell?

[@davegriffin233]

So much respect for u brother, all u go threw and still put out kick ass videos!!!!!! U are my number one favorite to watch and have been for years. Keep up the great work bro.

Could be a series?!?!....artificial shallow pond? Loading wars on ice?!?!!

Awesome!! You need to do one of those under water shots looking up at truck threw ice 🤣🤣

If the water was deep enough he could, he's got that RC sub drone thing remember?

[@chillminnesotarc9239]

Awesome video. This has convinced me to get a semi truck. So cool. Love the ice roads too.

[@wolff_farms]

Could street outlaws be next on the list of parodies?🤔 would love to see how that would go

[@nickthegrip7821]

I would definitely watch that!

[@bradlusk4531]

Do the Wire

[@GreenLantern814]

There's an RC group around where I live in Iowa that does RC Drags with modified Slash trucks and car bodies. Street Outlaws would be as easy to do as picking up the Traxxas Drag Strip set and modding trucks. They should DEFINITELY try it sometime.

[@hillninjasadventures5169]

Dirt drags please!! If were going that way🤔🤔🤷‍♂️

[@dennislemons5927]

That was awesome. Could be a new parody show. With all of the semi truck's and trailers plus the cargo cans and heavy equipment plus cut up some lumber and load it up and haul it around, you got yourself a great winter time show for when you're not doing Loading Kings or KZbin Gold. Just might need some chains or spikes (small brad nails) in the tires for that little extra grip, especially in the front end. But that was a great show.

[@chiccorocker]

Marvelous. You see, this is one of the bright sides of living in a cold place. It's not that common to have a frozen canal or creek. Great shots.

[@cmoore7689]

I like taking my trucks out in all weather. Gives it a different challenge. Keep on keeping on

[@ExperienceRC]

This is amazing. If only weather allowed for a season of this. Great job Medic, really enjoyed it 🤟🏻✌🏻

[@paulquintoa8348]

Y’all could definitely do a ice road trucker parody during the winter. You got enough yard to close off a ice driving course

[@levitown6366]

You are one crazy SOB. I would be scared to fall through the ice. I would be sweating bullets.

[@unoefxz]

rolling the tires with your fingers makes for a terrific "scale" action figure

[@EricCarter99]

This is awesome thx man keep up the hard work

[@AllOrNoneR.C.]

It's great you made a video out in the cold it's so hard to get people to realize you can still RC in winter. Another awesome video and I'm glad that the ice was thick enough to support the weight. Because you don't want to go losing that multimillion-dollar machine
