Because VTOL (vertical takeoff and landing) is going to be paramount in the near future when earth’s surface is entirely lava, Youtuber Michael Rechtin decided to try constructing two different versions of R/C plane launchers that require no runway or hand launching. First he creates a stomp rocket style launcher,

This is a compilation video from TikTok/Instagram user RCDriftTok highlighting his best drifting RC car tricks from the past year. There are some impressive feats in there, although they’re all very similar in execution (drift car, hit something with spoiler). Also, anything is possible if you try it a thousand

This is a clip of a life-size R/C flying Superman model, complete with mannequin head and terrible haircut. I say life-size, but I think it’s actually more young Superman, or Superboy sized. I mean it’s not 6’3″. It certainly should have been though. I mean if you can make something

This is a video from a robotic R/C car that a guy outfitted to run errands for him, in this case speeding into the pet store with a note explaining he needs GloFish shark food, and having the money to pay for it. That’s cool, at least until somebody is

This is a flight demonstration of a 1:3.5 scale Black Airwolf Bell-222 R/C helicopter. Now that is one big R/C chopper! The absolutely massive unit measures a very respectable 4.25m (14-feet) in length, with a rotor of 3.75m (12.25-feet). Wow. This thing makes me wonder: at what point do you

Because everybody needs a hobby, Philadelphia-based Instagrammer Sp Wîz built a radio controlled 4-wheeler with a Chucky doll on top and takes it out driving in traffic to startle people. That’s cool. At least until somebody runs it over. Then it’s broken. Broken things can still be cool though. Take

This is a video of a giant RC version of an English Electric Lightning fighter jet (which at times in the video is hard to believe is a model and not an actual full size aircraft) powered by two jet engines losing its front landing gear upon touchdown and having

Because the highway to the danger zone is paved with crashing and burning, this is a video of a giant RC jet meeting its doom in spectacular fashion immediately following takeoff. My favorite part was the straight up and straight down, followed by the explosion that rips the plane’s belly
