NEW 3D Printed RC Car Tires - Driving on Water!!!

- This is crazy! I'm driving a RC car on water by using custom made 3D printed tires. A few months back I failed driving on water, but discovered my 3D printed wheels worked great for traction on sand. However, now I'm back, and today we are driving the JLB Cheetah on water!
Here's the JLB Cheetah RC car: goo.gl/vCsNSf

I'm so greateful for all my loyal followers, and because of your comments I was able to make a new set of 3D printed tires that actually worked! The new tires have a much larger diameter and the paddles is fewer but significantly longer and much less angled.
The new tires was printed with only 5% infill, so there's much more air inside to keep it floating. In combination with a larger battery (4S 14.8V Lipo), the motor was able to keep the wheels turning and therefore keep it on top of the water.

WE DID IT! The best feeling ever to finally upload a successful attempt of driving on water. Thanks for leaving comments, it helps me out so much and I love reading them.
When you put the old tires on, you put them on in their normal rotational position with respect to the tread design. That design is to force water out from the center of the tire - reduce hydroplaning. I'd be curious to see the tires put on backwards, with the tread rotation forcing water to the center of the tire. Would it induce hydroplaning? And if so, how much?
Can you make a fpv drone made with 3d printed parts? It would be awesome to see in action!
Nice job brother!! Loved this style of video! :) Keep up the GREAT WORK! Wish I was there to play !!
Wow driving car, boat, and drone at the same time! He’s got some skills.
Videography of the year, Simon! The shots of the car where amazingly well done. Even pulling that U-turn in frame (how many takes?) was planned out.
Brilliant idea.....
Now get a really long range remote
Great work. I feel like the angle of the wheel find would also make a difference. When I've seen this done on like motorcycles their wheels have little scoops on the.
Success! If it didn't work this time I was going to say you need more power! Clearly that and the larger diameter wheels made all the difference.

Nice work Simon! You didn't loose hope and now u succed !! Keep doing your great work!!
If that car is only rwd you may make some new front tires that are smooth except for a ridge radially down the center that sticks up, so it'd act Luke a rudder for steering in the water
wow amazing 3d printed wheel's
Your driving techniques are better by a lot from the first video too. Punching it upon arrival to the water makes a huge difference rather than slamming the water at full speed with nothing left to give. Awesome job dude! The tires look incredible man.
Bad ass tires man.. I have to get my self a 3D printing machine
Buoyancy has nothing to do with a car hydroplaning it's all about surface area and speed. But well done great looking rig
Atlast!! By your hard work and detention you done it!! Favourite channel man!!! But the drone shot was awesome and who controlled the drone.👍👍👍
Going to print a set of these in NinjaFlex for me Teton. Thanks so much for sharing your work and experience!! Faved and subbed.
One of the best rc car videos I've watched. Brilliant! More please.
