Summit and Villain EX

My Summit 4WD towing a Villain EX, launching it and recovering it, all from radio control.
The trailer was custom made several years ago by a trailer maker who is no longer in business. I have no idea where someone can get a trailer made today.
The boat cover was custom made several years ago by a boat cover maker who is no longer in business. I have no idea where someone can get a boat cover made today.

[@dorado1221]

Pretty slick and shallow ramp NICE BOAT

[@Crazylegs973]

That's really cool how you have a little trailer for the Villain EX. I'm gonna try and find one for myself :D

[@neilastragtemania]

I just love the Villain, I am having one after watching some of these videos on here, I think the truck and trailer are fantastic aswell, thanks for showing off I like it, many thanks.

[@JUCDVPR]

Awesome video man. I love it and now I want a Villian with a trailer lol just no where to run it haha. Good stuff and great driving!

[@xKmotx]

Well, no, I don't think I will make a video about the camera on the boat. lol... But I can tell you, it was just the same GoPro camera on the truck, as well as the boat. I just shot the scenes, changed the camera to the boat, taped it down, and shot those scenes. Then I edited the scenes together to produce the video you see here. :)

@lolroflbot123: Hi, this trailer has 4 wheels. They are on an 'axle' that is really just an all-thread rod. At the time the wheels did not have back up nuts to keep them tight. They only had acorn nuts on the outside of the wheels. Because the wheels on one side of the trailer roll 'backwards' against the threads of the rod, they tended to unscrew themselves and fall off, and then their was nothing holding the wheel back from coming off the axle.

great product

[@skylinegrechy]

my dad and i are making one at the moment and have a 2wd brushless. we are making the tralier out of metal and old r/c monster truck wheels. by the way love this video

[@mikekoz6351]

Supercool! Now you just need to trade in the Villian for a Spartan

[@james123456754]

sweet video

[@tfaison2011]

great idea

[@sbiggdaddy5264]

That was sick and funny

[@redneckdadncoh2564]

Nice Video!!!

[@patwill0007]

very good vid congratulations

[@BashMonkeyRC]

nice scale trailer!

[@xKmotx]

@timgaylehughes: This is the Villain "EX" I like this boat a lot. It is very easy to set up and run. It performs very well, and it handles flat or choppy water with aplomb. It is enormous fun for the money. It is very, very durable and rugged. Unlike the current crop of RTR fast electric boats, that are routinely burning up ESC's and LiPo batteries, the Villain EX does not suffer from any of those maladies. It's slower than those FE's, but it is far more reliable and you can count on it 100%.

[@charlesgoolsby7929]

awesome dude

[@Monster73196]

lol at the wheel falling off the trailer at 0:44 haha

[@kyrkbymannen]

Cool video!

[@tulliobestia]

i love this video !

[@xKmotx]

@timgaylehughes: I am very satisfied. It is an engineering tour de force. The thought that went into creating this truck is staggering.

[@ToyotaGuy1971]

he was just demonstrating the importance of tandem wheels :b

[@MyPuppers]

[@lolroflbot123]

@xKmotx thank you so much for the advice and replying so soon!

[@xKmotx]

@timgaylehughes: Yes, I do. I have about 20 or so built, and more in kits to be built. My favorites are the scale boats, the kind you can just set your throttle trim one or two clicks above stop and then cruise slowly for a couple of hours. ;)

[@RCMAN23]

this video is so asome

[@Cheremissin]

Perfect vid! Liked it very much! Where you have bought this trailer?

[@xKmotx]

@timgaylehughes: Yes. It also took many 'takes', and switching the onboard cameras around. It was quite an involved project.

[@skylinegrechy]

thats awesome

[@xKmotx]

Vielen Dank! Es ist ein "Traxxas Villain EX"-Modell Boot. Sie sollten in der Lage sein ein bei Ihrem örtlichen Hobby-Shop zu finden, sonst sucht ein online.

[@xKmotx]

[@Airfilterer]

[@xKmotx]

It's starting to look like Traxxas only wants to sell the $500 Spartan!

[@WasDannyHere305]

[@xKmotx]

@TheDamian2002 *The trailer was custom made several years ago by a trailer maker who is no longer in business. I have no idea where someone can get a trailer made today.* I custom made the hitch with plans inside my head.

[@xKmotx]

Cool! Be sure to post a video and link it here. :)

[@timgaylehughes]

@xKmotx do u have any other boats than the villain ex? If so what is your favorite?(: I'm wanting to get into rc boating cuz right now I'm only doin rc cars

[@xKmotx]

@skylinegrechy Thanks! Good luck with your custom trailer! :)

[@nauticalknot]

Hey. I was wondering, where can I get these amazing boat trailers? I'm in love with RC boating, and I really want to go realistic with trailers. Any ideas for trailers and maybe good trucks?

[@mw2filmmaker]

i would love to have that

[@xKmotx]

@neilastragtemania: Thank you for your comments. :)

[@MicBergsma]

haha wow that is so awesome!

[@xKmotx]

@MrWilliam27: Yes, it was a custom ordered cover. Got it many, many years ago. I no longer have the contact info for the lady who made it.

[@ScooteringRC]

@xKmotx how did you make the boat trailer and would it fit a traxxas blast?

[@xKmotx]

@Daylo97: I imagine there is someone out there making trailers you can buy. Search the RC forums and ask around in them. I mounted the trailer using a hitch I custom built for the Summit.

[@xKmotx]

Cool! :)

[@jsalcedo3]

THATS COOL

[@timgaylehughes]

did u have 2 people- one with the boat controller and 1 with the car controller?

[@xKmotx]

They are always working on them. But then they are racers. And yeah they burn up stuff on a pretty regular basis because they always want to go faster, lol...

[@xKmotx]

@lkhyable Itis waterproof, and it has a brushed motor.

[@xKmotx]

@LesPaulGuitars1 Thanks. Yes, it is my boat.

[@march61000]

[@MrWilliam27]

I like the boat cover, was it custom made? I want t make or get one lol

[@xKmotx]

[@Daylo97]

[@xKmotx]

About 10 years ago, I bought it from an online retailer.

[@xKmotx]

Thanks! :)

[@LesPaulGuitars1]

@filipino4ever162: Good eye! Yes, as a matter of fact, three different times it came off during the making of this video! ;)

[@mrgrouchyguy]

LOL,You should take that trailer back to the tire shop and have that dude fired, he could have caused a major pile up on the freeway.

[@timgaylehughes]
