I Love the idea of what you have here ... there is no other rc boat like this on the market today

[@rcprinter]

Thanks! This was designed by the guys at 3DSets, you can print your own with the design files here: 3dsets.com/product/3d-sets-skippy-boat-trailer/

Looks great! So cool!

[@DuhRake]

Another great looking build!

[@rcprinter]

Thanks! 😄

[@jaycestaff7300]

i love the jet outbored motor🤩😄

[@lasermike2147]

Thank you for the build video. I'm thinking about building this to pull behind my Landy or i may have to build one of the vans. 3Dsets is a slippery slope!

[@rcprinter]

They're all just such great projects that are so well designed. Do it!

[@lasermike2147]

@@rcprinter I decided on the buggy for my next 3Dsets print. I grabbed 4 different models on their black Friday sale. Both VW's and both Vans. The hardware from rcprinter should be here soon!

[@KidWanderer79]

That looks a lot like the Shuswap lake. Wish you guys would make a video explaining how to wire these things though.

[@rcprinter]

This certainly is the shu! That's canoe beach. The 3dsets build guide does a pretty decent job of walking you through how the electronics work in this build. If you have any questions, post in their facebook group (or ours) and you'll get help pretty quick.

[@eiscingdeath2004]

I'm kind of surprised you didn't glue the hull together to make it more watertight. Any particular reason not to other then making it easier to disassemble?

[@rcprinter]

On this build I just wanted to follow the 3dsets build guide and it doesn't call for glue. I might glue it someday tho and maybe epoxy it too.

Long time no see, nice boat

[@rcprinter]

Thanks! Was a fun project.

[@JohnnySmith-z8p]

I would love to add this to my collection of rc boats.... But I don't have a 3D printert

[@rcprinter]

Printers have come down a lot in price luckily.

[@Felix-gv3su]

Thanks for this great video are you also going to Build the Trailer for this Boat to Hook it up with your Jeep?

[@rcprinter]

Maybe someday, lots of other projects on the go already tho.

[@dronefootage2778]

that's so cool, NICE work! it must have taken for ever to design this, if you don't mind me asking which program did you use?

[@rcprinter]

Hey I didn't design this one, I got the design files here: 3dsets.com/product/3d-sets-skippy-boat-trailer/

[@rcprinter]

[@JohnnySmith-z8p]

If you ever want to mass produce the boats pieces as a whole boat kit to buy , THE WORLD would greatful for it ..... " i don't own a 3D printer " .

[@carloshnunez]

Very nice and well design 🔵🔵🔵🙂🙂🙂👍👍👍🔵🔵🔵

[@rcprinter]

Thanks, I can't take credit for the design though. You can get the files yourself here: 3dsets.com/product/3d-sets-skippy-boat-trailer/

Thanks for the link mate @@rcprinter

[@JohnnySmith-z8p]

Just give us a price for your invitation..... and we will pay for the true hobbiest

[@Fabrizio-t4s]

Sembra un po' pesante

[@rcprinter]

yessir, she's a pig. You can install a second motor which I think would make it much more fun to drive.

[@lipoz-n-nitroz4012]

Seems underpowered.

[@01Pinger]

Too heawy and bulky
