Thank you! My first priority is functionality, in order to complete the mission, but I try to make my builds as realistic as possible with the little time I have left!
Man this is sooo cool! I would love to see a pointier bow, I think it would cut through the waves better, and I'm sure you would get a better underwater cam some day but hey, I'm happy to see someone actually makes something as cool as this!
Thanks! I just got a DJI Action 2, so I'll probably use that for underwater footage in the future. My Sony is very old and I think something is wrong with it's optics and it's always out of focus.
Wow, I'm shocked by the work done. It was especially surprising that the ship even at such a distance caught the signal of the control panel. How much did he swim in the end (distance in meters if possible) P.S. The result exceeded all my expectations. Keep it up !
Hello and thank you for your kind words! I hope you enjoy other similar projects I've done (the sunken city) and I'll do in the future! The plane wreck lies in a depth of 10 to 11 meters, about 190 meters from the coast (according to measurements from Google Maps). The boat traveled in a curve due to the wind so it covered about 450 to 500 meters for the whole journey. I used an airplane transmitter and receiver, so range was not an issue. It could easily go further.
It probably sounds like that because during most of the video it was operating at 60-70%. At 100% the motors sound a lot healthier but I wanted to make sure nothing went wrong. These are my first proper RC boats and I'm gathering experience. I didn't want to risk anything overheating while the boat was 200 meters from the coast.
I plan to build a sub and visit the plane again. I'll probably deploy it from a full sized boat though. It would be very difficult to control both the sub and parent boat at the same time.
In the island exploration video it was actually moving much faster. I rarely exceeded 50-60% power here. I wanted to reach the plane with no problems, so I played it safe... 😁
Thank you! You never know what you can build unless you start small. Check out how I started building ships, and you'll get the idea : th-cam.com/video/l8U77MbwlgI/w-d-xo.html
I would definitely change the transmission to make it more robust. On this boat, both motors turned the same axle that went all the way down to the propeller. If you check my latest video, I used the same transmission concept with a small tweak. Each motor turned its own axle that made its way down to the propeller, thus splitting the torque between the two vertical axles. This gave me the ability to utilize maximum power on the motors, thus achieving greater speed on an even bigger and heavier boat.
ενταξει, χαμος η κατασκευη, τρεμω με το ποσες ωρες θα ηταν το συνολικο υλικο για μονταζ! επισης χαρα στην υπομονη σας να ξαναφτιαξετε τον κινητηρα επειδη ηταν αδυναμος! μαθαινεις και πως λειτουργει ενα πλοιο επισης (πχ το κατω μερος με τα βοτσαλα για αντιβαρο)
Μοντάζ : χάος... 😐 Υπομονή : αρκετή, αλλά εξαντλήθηκε όταν έστριβε η κατασκευή από μόνη της και αναγκάστηκα να γυρίσω πάλι σε πηδάλιο! 😁 Βεβαία, κάθε εμπόδιο και μάθημα δίνει πάτημα στις επόμενες κατασκευές. Γενικά, το πιο δύσκολο κομμάτι των τελευταίων project ήταν να καταλήξω σε ένα σχέδιο σκάφους που να μπορεί να την παλέψει με αέρα και κυματισμό. Το συναίσθημα όμως όταν είδα από το drone ότι ήταν πάνω από το αεροπλάνο ήταν άλλη φάση! Τώρα το επόμενο βήμα είναι κάτι μεγαλύτερο που να αντέχει σε άσχημο καιρό...
For my future boat designs, I'll probably 3D print sealed compartments to house the motors and sensitive electronics. A silicone-based grease would be an excellent idea to seal all the shafts!
I use a DJI Mavic Mini. It's old, but gets the job done. An object tracking feature would be useful though. It is very difficult to control the drone while steering the boat at the same time. 🙁 P.S. Unfortunately I do everything alone. My wife or my uncle join me only to keep me company and take selfies...
I'm currently Creating a Bricklinks Studio file of this based off of the visuals I see in the video to try and replicate the hull except using lego motors and putting my own spin on the Style. I want to build my own Lego Technic boat one day, but I'm new to Legos and it's good to study off of what others built. If I successfully complete the file, would you like a copy of it? I'm still learning the software, but it's actually pretty straight forward. Also, if you respond to this comment, is there any way you can get me part numbers for the propeller and accessories?
Send me a picture of the completed boat on Instagram or via e-mail whenever you complete it! I always enjoy people getting inspired by my builds and building their own vehicles. Unfortunately, the propellers, servo motor, battery and electronics are not LEGO, so there are no part numbers.
@brickandgear Okie dokie, and you're welcome! I thought that perhaps it was a Lego Technic one that I have never seen. Thanks for the reply back!👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Dude so cool! Did you do lots of testing before hand? How did you know how many pieces you would need for the build? Did you use a pc program to map the build?
I used LEGO Digital Designer for the design process and tested the boat with three different transmission setups in my bathtub. I ran the final setup for 10 minutes at full power in the bathtub and then went for it. I don't have enough time for lots of testing!
@@brickandgear highly recommend it, I live up north on the west coast of England and the water is so brown it looks like diorreah and it’s so cold, I used to think Mallorca was cold but here? And it’s consistently raining
There's a reading on my controller that displays the signal quality as an error percentage. If the reading is too high, I'll bring it closer to avoid loosing connection. In case of any other failure, I always carry a small inflatable boat with me for recovery.
bobiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii vieras que craftsman se acaba de actualisar como la version 1.18 :) quiero que lo vallas a jugar, saludos, ademas quiero apareser en ese futuro video :) te quiero bobi
What kind of plane was that? Was it a civilian or one of the planes shoot down during the Second World War? Edit: scratch that I didn’t read the description.
Fun fact, the plane probably crashed further away from shore, but was accidentally carried closer to the shore by fishing trawlers. During that process, it was broken into several pieces, some of which have yet to be discovered.
Thank you! I included them after a comment in a previous video concerning stability and roll. The ballast and bilge keels made this one much more stable!
It's incredible how the boat despite the strong currents and the relatively big waves kept going.
Yeap. The toughest part of the project was having enough power to battle the waves, currents and wind, without breaking the transmission.
1:18 Iove the part where you taped the Styrofoam thingy so it doesn't fall apart and pollute the waters
You are actually the first person to comment on that. I always try to keep things clean!
That Lego man has seen things no other Lego Man has.
Indeed! Very experienced crew!
I love the balance between the functioning boat and the fact it looks like an actual boat
Thank you! My first priority is functionality, in order to complete the mission, but I try to make my builds as realistic as possible with the little time I have left!
I love Lego technic videos like this also the tires on the hull is a nice touch
More adventures are coming!
Awesome, and I really like showing just enough of the build that we can see the details but not get bored. Great stuff, so cool on the water.
Thank you so much! I hope you enjoy my future projects as well!
you have done lots of hard work in that video very appreciated
Thank you! I really appreciate the support!
Very impressed 👍🏻 Loved the rocks for ballast. Old school methods with current technology.

Thank you for considering me as a mechanical genius! 😁
I did go through a few stages before reaching open water designs, though!

Very cool, would be interesting to see a dual propeller set up. It sounded like the engine was struggling in the video.
It probably sounds like that because during most of the video it was operating at 60-70%. At 100% the motors sound a lot healthier but I wanted to make sure nothing went wrong. These are my first proper RC boats and I'm gathering experience. I didn't want to risk anything overheating while the boat was 200 meters from the coast.
This is awesome I got my first rc boat yesterday and its fast but this is amazing
I'd like to build a fast boat one day. I'll need more powerful motors though. LEGO motors are not strong enough... ☹️
@@brickandgear thats ok, they’re still cool
Can you make mini sub to deploy from the ship so you could get a better angle and explore more?
I plan to build a sub and visit the plane again. I'll probably deploy it from a full sized boat though. It would be very difficult to control both the sub and parent boat at the same time.
I love the boat and the turtle

Wow the speed it went at is insane. That thing is bulky and it was mooooving

Based on its Journey and travel would there be anything that you would change in it's design?

I thought the big boat would release a submersible to dive down with a camera on it. Still amazing!
Thank you! A submersible that dives from the boat is a great idea, but I'll need an FPV system for that!
I just went to Greece for vacation, it was wonderful. Are you ever going to make a Lego submarine? Maybe it could even be launched off of the boat!
Hello! I am currently building my second generation submarine. Expect a video soon!
For better range on the antennas, try orientate the two antennas perpendicular from each other
Oh. I actually thought this was the case with airplanes because they change direction in 3D space. Should I do that in boats as well?
Very nice I love the building
Thank you! I really appreciate it! 🙏
So cool! I would never be able to do that!

Amazing video well done with the build. Also, I thought that sea turtle would attack the ship 😅 when it was mentioned in the title.

Where did you get those long rectangle pieces for the hill of the ship?
You mean the pieces of styrofoam? I cut them myself and covered them with adhesive tape.
Was that a WW2 fighter/bomber, or a more mod aircraft? 🤔✈️
It's a Beechcraft King Air A90 that crashed in 1985.
@@brickandgear too bad; he could have blamed the crash on being shot down by enemy pilots…
You should try some silicone grease both for lubrication and to keep water away from your motors.
For my future boat designs, I'll probably 3D print sealed compartments to house the motors and sensitive electronics. A silicone-based grease would be an excellent idea to seal all the shafts!
Much lego youtubers are underrated
True...
What drone do you guys use ?
I use a DJI Mavic Mini. It's old, but gets the job done. An object tracking feature would be useful though. It is very difficult to control the drone while steering the boat at the same time. 🙁
