Shave that thing! //Simon 2.0

“I’m crying inside but that’s fine, I always do” I felt that.

This guy is best at everything. Sarcasm, funny, cinematography and that is not the best part. This guy is a genius engineer too.

1:44 sounds like scratching of a record. It went perfectly with the beat

The chopper sound effect to the drone is amazing

"There's no chance of failure" 20 seconds later: "It's gonna fail like 99%"

The amount of failures you had on this one makes me feel better about myself. Thank you Simon, you have done me a service.

Brings back memories of testing boats in the bathtub because it was winter... Nitro testing came to a real quick end by way of my mother with a wooden spoon.... Love your videos man...

Love the helicopter sound over the drone footage. That cracked me up 😂

Anybody who has been in the "failure zone" should watch this video. It's so great at capturing the mindset of refusing to give up when the universe just keeps fighting back hahaha! :D

Your determination on these projects is something to be admired and duplicated by others. :)

You nailed the footage of it in action, on board and from outside, really looked great.

Nice job on building that. You have a good eye for getting everything balanced and placed right. I used to create some of this kind of stuff in my earlier life and I know that things like this boat are pretty hard to get just right. It looks like you got things right on your first try. This thing corners so smoothly. It is so stable that you don't even put the lid on!

wait, you have a set of two humongous motors and jets and you did not print a new hull to fit them both and shoot that thing to mars ?

It's enjoyable to see this kid growing up along the years, he ahas a mustache already lol, I'm getting old

Well done. Neat project. My dad had a jet boat from the time I was about 10. 19’ 1973 Carlson Glastron CV-19 455 Oldsmobile engine. He replaced the pump with another Berkeley pump don’t recall the mode numbers but it came from a drag boat that burned down. The pump on he outside or the transom was longer and a little lower and the pitch was adjustable. That gave us between 15-20mph from the more efficient pump and getting more of the boat out of the water. So from like 52-55mph to about 70-75mph. Then the engine was rebuilt with 10:1 forged dishes pistons and a large Crowler cam and the better of the iron head factory castings and it made great power and that got us to around 90. That engine lasted about 3 seasons of super hard running. Lots of people raced then at Indian Lake Ohio. But even with a much lesser engine it still goes 70s because of that excellent pump.

Hands down, the hardest part of making an RC boat is the freakin coupler.

There's just something not quite right about a person who makes a full size, 3d printed love doll of himself 👀

today we're bringing back the rainbow boat, proceeds to paint it black

There is only one thing better than a nice powerful motor in your boat ... 2 nice powerful motors 👍👍

A lot of effort has gone into all these different shots ect, you have my sub for that alone.

Simon: "the rainbow boat is back" Also Simon: proceeds to paint the boat in black

“Rainbow boat is coming back” *Spray paints it black*

You are funny and clever. So much fun to watch. Hope you get millions of subscribers.

That's one of the most stable planing hulls on an RC boat I've ever seen! :D

Your 2.0 is so weird standing in the corner 😂

There is a reason why they call the couplers “Love Joy” Love them because they work and it’s joyous to surmount problems!

I laughed so hard, all those quacks yet "IQ 200" xD

Every 5 seconds im like “ooh whos that back there?” And its the manican

That intro is so creepy omg I love it 😂😂😂

Three words: *_Helical Shaft Couplers_* You're welcome.

Great effort to build and then tearing apart so you can rebuild. The model you crested it's a great one. In stead to cut it off you could make a mold from the boat and then make it from carbon fibre so you can enjoy the fruit of your labour selling the hull to people how appreciate your boat design , like I do.

"IQ 200" just thrown in there so subtle. love it

You learned the importance of balancing and centering the hard way :D

So if the unicorn boat has now been painted black can we say that it's a rainbow in the dark? Dio would be proud.

I’m a Swedish kid myself so I should know this but I feel like every single Swedish person on KZfaq is just so funny and adorable! Simon: I really want to show this boat on a nice sunny day Me: in the Swedish winter I’m pretty sure that’s probably never going to happen

I think if you shrink the exit nozzle diameter by 10 - 15% it will increase your acceleration and top speed. Just a thought. Great vid.

Such an underrated channel!! keep doing you dude!! Hilsninger fra Norge!!

Just so you know you do have what you need to make a centered coupler. All you have to do is put that coupler in the drill chuck. mount a drill bit in a vice and turn the part rather than the drill bit. Effectively turning you drill press into a hack rod lathe. Only thing is your limited to the size of your Chuck on your drill press as to how large a part you can drill.

Nice video of trip to water. Many camera angles appreciated.

Those beautiful scenery drone shots are what put your videos a cut above the rest!

it must be creepy having a lifesized you in your room at all times xD just staring

Put a taper on your nozzle to increase thrust. For a reference, look at jetski nozzles.

Idk if you read these or not ...... but i have a project idea for you .... That little buggy you pull around......I've seen you fight with that thing often. I think you should put a motor on that thing. high torque, low speed...a slow walking pace. Put a free wheel sprocket on it like a bicycle (amazon 12$) and the right gear ratio would keep it slow and controllable without the need for a variable throttle, but would still have tons of power to the wheels. A simple push button a Continuous Duty Solenoid Relay, so you don't burn the coil. (amazon 14$) Just for times when you are dragging it across the sand or something. The free wheel would allow you to still pull with your eboard at higher speeds.

I think the dislikes are also 3D printed. I don't know about you but I liked this video.

Its beautiful country where you live. Aside from the 11 month's of winter

5kW motor on 600W (peak) power source (14.8V*4Ah*10pcs) Transmitting 5kw of power using a TPU coupler (but is orange so it should work) Man, you bend the laws of physic.:))

just bought my first 3d printer like an hour ago cant wait, love your channel and the creativity you put into it :)

Try looking up "bellows coupling" those couplers are extremely tolerant to misallingment and also very rigid.

LMAO 😂 😂 I was yelling in my head, just use a u joint!

The entertainment value of this video is gold.

it looks wicked fast and maneuverable

To drill perfectly centred holes with a drill press, mount the drill in the vise, and the workpiece in the drill.

9:54 wow that *is* fast

Some people don't care but I highly appreciate the 4k content. It's 2019 and a bunch of people still do 1080p

stumbled onto your shtick......now i'm addicted.....and i hold you personally responsible...keep up fine work!

"The unicorn boat is back!" Instantly spray paints it all black...

Hey man are you going to make an rc submarine? It could be really intersting!

And then ..... Suddenly you notice his hoodie...... That's quite a valid question though....!!!! 😂

A pair of universal joints in the shaft from the motor to the propellor. Solves alignment and reduces vibration, also helps isolate thrust.

I want to hang out with you a whole weekend making 3D printed stuff

For your motor to propeller using a U joint would do the trick.

That B roll was badass

omg the aquastar is a beast of a motor. A few people use it to power their Power Racing series gokarts and they are ridiculously fast.

Thats too much power for one man, how was able to handle this its simply astounding, (Read in dramatic anime voice)

youtube you er late recommending this guys channel.

..and it works AMAZINGLY well !!! BRAVO !!!

Really well produced and very entertaining

If I would have a 3D printer and all resources like this guy ... *I would have reached Mars.*

Sometimes you have to reinvent something to appreciate enough the actual item invented before for you... EX : *couplings*

your such a cool guy with awesome ideas its nice to watch ur machines

This is so relaxing thinking of all the problem solving you got to do to get to that beautiful product

7:50 *try's in bath Me: that's to small bro

have you ever thought of lifting the boat on hydrofoils so that the friction is reduced and you can fly it on the water?

Wow superb boat what a acceleration simply love it I will try to put new engine in my boat

first video ive ever watched of this man and he was funny enough to get my subscription,people like you make me excited to learn electrical engineering etc

"I JUST SAWED THIS BOAT IN HALF!"

Dude Simon 2.0 is pretty scary in soldering time lapses.

1:44 the sound of the screwdriver actually fits into the song well, wow...

Love the water cooling!

That's... not a boat anymore. It's a friggin' rocket.

Imagine your on a boat and this passes you. At full speed

Excellent persistence and great video of final results, drone and camera work from the boat. Thanks for the effort in putting this all down on film.

Im impressed man, you have new zealand 🇳🇿 on your wall map.... way cool 😎

Can you guys feel the rhythm on 1:43 I’m the only one?no way

He should not have secured the duct to the boat until the motor was attached. That way it would be guaranteed to line up eliminating vibration.

You r so funny... 👍... by the way all you needed a universal coupling. But I believe you knew that... Great sense of humour 🤣🤣🤣

killed it with the meme. nice build

pro* tip on the not having a lathe issue: Put the coupler in the drill press & put the drill bit in the vice. The drill bit will want to center its self. *this is a bodge, don't blame me if the drill press picks up the vice and throws it into your spleen

Me: Mom can we get mr beast Mom: we have mr beast at home Mr beast at home:

I appreciate you taking the time to make this model and for sharing this video. Awesome boat and I can't wait to see that motor let rip!

You should print a boat. Like a life sized boat. ✌🏾

That motor can move some real boats! Where did you get that motor? I would like to get one too!

Battery specs? 5000 watts is a bold claim in a tiny boat, better show you've done the math :D

That's actually super dope.

Your boat looks like a toucan ... Cool vid !!!

8:36 I'm pretty sure I've been to that part of Chernarus.

If you want to really smooth out sealant, use either alcohol or soapy water with a glove on. Keep you glove coated with a lot of it and it's easy to make it really smooth, we do this on aircraft

I like you World Map! )) Very cool. Your Jet Boat is nice. I am waiting next generation...
