So we got these cheap on sale boats at Meijer (sorry not walmart.. The SEO tagging made me do it!) These New Bright RC boats are pretty much junk but some Brushless motors and real RC equipment make them not suck so much once upgraded

How to make a $22 RC boat perform like a $100 RC boat for just $300
Yes I know it was probably a lot cheaper than that. Seems a lot of work, though. I don't know if scratchbuilding is actually easier.
Erik Warnes but, the idea of it is the best part. also they're like the boat version of a sleeper car.
allthings possible i can definitely see that. I like the mod, even if a scratchbuilt or a kit would make more sense.
and several thousands in tools and supplies.. drills, saws, welding, glues, etc. But, it is cool to see genuine ingenuity, imagination and diy effort
its all about the fun, who cares about money
Imma make my boat go 30 miles per hour. *tapes box to stampede frame*
MY FUCKING SIDES
That was a Slash.
Yes it was. Forgive me sir.

Haha boat go brrr
I want to be some kind of engineer when I'm out of high school, and let me say your shop is incredible. I did something similar with an RC plane, but with a lot less tools (and sadly functionality). keep up the good work this is super entertaining
Thanks man!
Dont worry too much on the tools, I was in the same situation out of HS as well. Save your pennies and invest wisely!
yeah all I have is a homemade thermite forge, soldering iron, hot glue gun, and a bunch of screwdrivers. soon I'm going to be able to afford a new grinder.

Golden Popsicle hi
Try adding wings on the bottom and make it a hydrofoil? XD
I want to see an RC hydrofoil boat badly
Lol
Its funny bc they didit
Finally i figured out how to spell upgrayeded
All along we were spelling it wrong, damn you public schooling!!!
Lololol

@@dolphinplayzwot2140 uh...thats the joke, "thats not how you spell it" you dont get the joke
One huge advantage you could do is add an extremely large lipo battery put up front not only will you get incredibly long run times but the added weight will help keep it from hopping as much giving much more control.
wow, your shop is so nice and clean. im an auto guy so my shop looks like hell haha
TheGreatestGinja I'm a motorguy yet I can relate :)
TheGreatestGinja I agree I have parts everywhere
You should make a massive rc boat that you can put stuff in
Like a cargo one

The time you guys invest into making these toys/experiments really make me appreciate the video
Haha loved it, great channel man. New sub!
Uwu 300k sub i wish me too
AWESOME video Peter!!! Miss seeing you on FT. Wish you the best of luck on your new adventure! Fly hard!
looks so fun. i used to love drving RC boats when i was a kid but they were really crappy back then, cool to see how fast you can go now with new batteries and motors
4:20 When you get your boating licence!
Hehe 420
420 blaze it

Ayyy

Sick video Peter ! Your ending cracks me up
Thanks Steele! Dude your vlogs are getting more and more awesome to watch (and also your quad skills) Keep it up!
This was so FUN to watch! Thanks Peter for letting us in on your fun.
👌Great video, I always wondered about upgrading toy rc boats to hobby grade. Awesome workshop. Best wishes from New Zealand.
Your works are truly amazing. I hope someday I can build some toys like that too
Upgraded **
Upgrayedd. That's what got me here. Idiocracy fan.
Jerry Sollien For a double dose! ;)

"how to make a 20 dollar boat into a 120 dollar boat", at LEAST..
How much are the esc, motor, servo and rx?
Oh and you`ll need a tx too..
LoL, yeah I know, but I still wonder what the cost was, because:
I did it myself though with one of those Victory EP boats.
I Pulled the gear, made a mounting plate and fixed an aquacraft outboard to it, connected a steering servo, put in my own receiver and an esc and 8 NiCd cells (yes, NiCd`s) ended up in there, but it weighs a ton (still have it).
But with that setup it had VERY scale performance, and since its around 70cm, weighing that much and having that scale performance (and handling) made it an absolute BLAST in the ocean :D
She`s stationary now, I burned the wires from the esc to the motor and the driveshaft in the outboard is barely moveable :/
Can`t get the shaft loose and don`t know a solution.
The new gear is lying around in wait for me to fix the outboard hehe.
Oh, and planning to add so much weight both inside the hull and to the stern I also reinforced the inside of the hull with fiberglass and molding epoxy.
Next time I`ll just build a boat from scratch like I always have :p
It's called a hobby. You're probably real close with the 120.
A "hobby" eh? Well 25+ years of RC and I never knew it was a hobby 😋
Glad my guesstimation is close though 👍
I am new to the r/. I recently finished a 15-20 year old Dumas kit of a 1930 Chris Craft. There was a motor #2025 or a 5040? The boat is VERY heavy, with a sub planking, and mahogany planking, fiberglass, about 5 layers of epoxy and varnish. It uses the big r/c truck batteries. The propeller is about 1 1/2", the propeller shaft is 3/16". The boat pushes thru the water, makes nice wake, but will not get up on a plane. Any suggestions for a motor with torque and rpm that will make it scoot?
Dick Russell Thats a beautiful vessel :)
You're using LiPo right?
And if you want more speed, look into changing the prop.
Might not look 100% scale on land, but a higher pitched prop will do a lot as far as speed is concerned.
Motorwise there are SO many options you'll have to do some checking and balance your performance and runtime, but I would definetely look into a higher pitch prop first, you might get off very cheap 👍
"im gonna make my boat got 30mph *tapes to slash* xD this channels humor is gold
I remember when I had a car and my brother had a boat. We were driving them around and the signals somehow swapped and I started controlling his boat out of nowhere. Sadly, he drove my car into the pool and I cried for hours. That’s like one of my only reallllly young memories in my life.
Thats sad you should race atleast 1 or 2 feet away from each other.
a few years ago people were modding this boat with water jet propulsion and getting them crazy fast. cheap hobby king boats
I Love what you guys do 👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾 definitely great seeing your projects unfold
I would of just slapped two 9- volts in it and sent it out for its last moments of glory!
Kyle. B
Hahaha
parallel or in series?
@@ricktacularrick7928 Likely in series
Ben refresh my memory, longer run?
@@tonyromano6220 no series is higher voltage, meaning higher current and power
I don’t understand anything your doing but I love it
Should have returned it in origanal packaging so some lucky kid gets a great toy. These guys are all grown up, after years of watching The A-Team.
Moss spyder that would’ve been epic
Yay, I've found Peter! I wondered where you disappeared to.. subscribed!
Nice job! Cool to see true rc enthusiasts still making when shelf boughts not available. The shots of the cabin cruiser , plowing slow up that river pond at the end was really cool, and real looking. Enjoyed the vid
Peter really knows fabrication. Good man!
Very cool, reminds me of projects that my mates and I did in our teens.
I think with all that power and speed, I would have used a brass screw from the outset. A great project though, very cool!
Peter! what is it missing??? FPV! I'd like to see an fpv boat...
Awww Yiss! I think I may tackle that for a future project. I may even design a 3D printed hull and make it unsinkable! Would be fun to drive in huge waves.
Yes, yes, YES! I'd love to see that.
I save up wine corks, then fill a plastic bagful, tie it off and glue it into my nosecone. That way when my boat inevitably rolls over or gets swamped and fills with water I can be a little more relaxed about swimming out to retrieve it. I suspect that a quick squirt of expanding polyurethane foam into the bows would do the same job.
try working out a self righting way of doing it. weight down low buoyancy up high. likethey have in the british lifboats
I just came across your channel and it's awesome. keep up the creativity!
Why did I have to discover your channel at 3:00 am when I’m trying to sleep
0:24 that crash😂
Wow I'm early! It was great helping you and building my boat!!
So at the end of the day, doesnt that mean all you paid all that money for was the boat casing ?
That sound they make after. Sick!
1:13 flite test tools!
When someone picks u a motor. *Queue the montage music!*
Dam you! I'm supposed to go to sleep because I work early in the morning! But noooooooo! Instead I'm stuck in a petersripol youtube rabbit hole! Why do you have to make them ALL so dam awesome and interesting! DAM YOU PETER!! ok I'm going to bed now.😁
you cant spell... im sorry but its DAMN
@@getrecked1018 I'm sorry too... I'm sorry that I didn't realize I was being graded. I hope I still passed tho. I also really hope we're not being graded on a curve becuz it's not the stupidest thing I've ever done, that's for sure! After all I'm just a dum truck driver who was just making silly comments.
Oh and before your more sorry yes I know I spelled though, because, and dumb incorrectly. But then again who's perfect? Oh well.👍
@@painedinks lol dude its all fine and yes you passed A+
I just found your channel today and I love it. Your content is awesome!! Keep it up!
New bright makes some off the coolest scale looking rcs, they should have a second tier option with hobby parts I would buy everything they have
nice "upgrayd" bro
put wings on it so it can take flight like a flying fish!
Ohhh... And you have to have all this equipment and supplies. 😁
I love watching these videos ... such a simple goal but most of us are too dumb to build anything like what you guys do ... cool vids ... I'm subbed
Challenge: try to do vehicle that can go land, water and if you can even AIR!!!!
Rasmus Luukkonen oh yeah yeah oh yeah yeah yeah
That would be an hovercraft - ekranoplan. Land water and air, although can't go to high and doesn't really go through the water, it hovers.
He did a land and water vehicle but no flying, boating and driving.
Peter for Weight I take Rim balance Weights from Autoshop.
Honestly crazy how sum people can just take something apart and rebuild it from start and make it better than before and know exactly what their doing the whole time and have it built in their head before they do it just amazes me
you are great with the technicals AND you make great videos. well done sir!
2:12 possessed plane
Jack Wickham lol
I clicked on this because of the misspelled title! Edit: then I watched the rest of it because the content was awesome!
That is how clickbait works.
Lol
Dayum!! huge improvement!
I wonder if taking a catamaran and putting Magnus effect across the bow of the boat could reduce the weight and add two the possible speed
Cool project! You know what would be awesome... You should sell the boats on Craigslist as the $22 Walmart boats they were for $15 or whatever and then see what the new owners say after they realize how crazy fast they are for the price! Basically a prize give away to someone unsuspecting it.
Does anyone else want to see some sort of Peter-Colin Furze Collab
👍
👍
mint....
Colin is so annoying
Hey, I've done the same thing. Threw a ton of money at a Wal-Mart boat with about the same results. My next step is to add a hydro foil with adjustable pitch just in front of, but lower than the prop.
I love how you just throw everything
Nice video i really like these types of videos!
Hi drop foils?
Peter you should revisit this one, could be a fun one to see again
i liked this vid.....part of the fun is working on them and upgrading them yourself....the boats are actually really cool when finished
wow nice job guys! you think you can modify my cheap vibrator?
Make it fly like those fancy sail boats
I think hulls need to be better for the speeds you're going at, since they seem to be more for looks than function
This was actually a pretty fun video and a cool idea, you've inspired me to do the same and I hope you make more. However, part of the problem is with your propeller. You're using cleaver propellers, or surface piercing propellers, and you have them fully submerged. Those types of propellers should only pierce the water and be about half under water like on the Barbwire boat you guys have. I recommend you use chopper style props which are meant to be submerged fully under water.
*UPGRADED*... please its killing people
Mark Carr haha yeah that thumbnail is why I clicked, thought it might of been a joke video, but no, its just retarded spelling
Mark Carr s I agree SO much. It really bothers me how a thirteen year old kid can have better grammar than someone 3 times their age these days. ARGGGGGH!🤣
Mark Carr how did it go bold writing
I guess you don't get the reference
Mark Carr PUN
Thanks I just finished my own , bought a $25 boat spent 9 days on it and all the parts were only $625 dollars !!!! Or you could just go buy a $199 boat .
canadaguy20081 But it's not as fun.
canadaguy20081 what parks have RC boat races.?venom look better
I think you're the most tactical RC Upgrader the world has ever seen.
Just had a browse through some of your videos. You have a new fan 😎 Just subbed, my Son and myself are first of going to have some fun modifying his slow as RC boat he got when he was 4 or 5 from a friend of his for his birthday. Cheers guys, you rock!
for all you haters there you can get a life because these guys works hard on awsome work so deal with it
Keith Evans he is cool
There are literally no haters😂😂

Cool, I did something similar, although my boat is a little bigger, I used parts from a broken E-flight helicopter. It works, but haven't tested it in water yet, wish me luck 👍
This guy deserves more subs
What motor did you use for the upgrade?
Paused at 3:04, It looks like an Emax red base RS2205-2300KV.
"emax redbottom 2206, its the 2300KV version!"
Mk4Thumper
paid $22 for plastic even after having a 3d printer?
Does a 3d printer make blank plastic material?!
Craig Ster yes
Shivanshu Mahim He meant that the 3d printer still needs rolls of plastic to use.
that costs money
@wesley nope it would have cost cents literally cents to print that boat hull
Brandon Piper the. He probs did it for convenience because it’s just $20. And it wouldn’t take that long because, you know, complicated prints take awhile
I modified mine by putting a 3s 11.5v lipo in it, works pretty well
is the stock motor able to handle 12v? got one(modified controll via wifi) as well, but am running it at 5v.
I love the Donzi
I was scrolling down the comments just to se if anyone else saw that he spelt upgraded wrong in the thumbnail 😂 lol
BALLISTIC YTXD heeehee funy vidio
"24 volts of power" fuck that pisses me off.
voltage is not a fucking measurement of power.
That was the joke.
Sam and what is electricity used for?
MrSandystorm, trust me you don't know what you are talking.
Voltage is a measurement of electric potential difference, or tension, this is the difference in electric potential energy between two points per unit electric charge, not a measurement of power.
"Up grayeded "......that just funny. Looks like you had fun doing this and that's what matters.
I remember seeing one of these with a fishing rod on the back of it. The man was pretty sure it wouldn't work though.
Have you left flite test?
123jerro he has
Nooooooo
what kind of esc?
Emax Blheli 30A speedcontrol!
Wow Peter I didn't know you had this channel, what happen with you and the guys at flight test?
Bet you they didn't have no problem draining all his talent & genius.. but they where not willing to compen$ate appropriately!
I feel the same way.
hopefully a cheap shit one because who in their right mind would put anything decent in those plastic fantastic shitbox things.
