What could go wrong? Riding mountain bikes with an RC car
Вставка
- Опубліковано 6 лют 2025
- Yes, I know nobody asked for these RC videos. I think I got it all out of my system for the time being. Today, we attempt to jump a mountain bike and RC car over a tabletop at the same time. It turns out that this isn't nearly as easy as sending the car or bike alone, as they actually travel at different speeds to clear the same jump. After some technical problems and a steep learning curve, we finally figure out that a bigger battery makes it much easier to time.

If you're interested in the Maxx, just go to your local hobby shop and they will probably have it. You'll also need a charger, battery, and probably some tools. This thing is an absolute beast! It might need a little polishing after landing upside down about 300 times.

“As Durable as a golf ball! “If Traxxis does not use that quote they are crazy!
They wont quote it. Because for them they want it to be more though then a golf ball.
no cuz if they have to proof that they will lose and it will be a false claim
There quote is the fastest name in radio control

You're not the 1st comment saying "Traxxis" It's Traxxas but am I missing a joke or something?
Everyone’s talking about “what could go wrong” but what about the stuff that went right, like that was insane!
Anyway thanks Seth.

@RITA 21 y.o !!!! I NEED S Е Х !!! OPEN MY САNАL ! what????
My buddy & I met Seth on the trails yesterday. He is truly just a good dude!
Man, I don't ride mtb, I do bmx, but I swear every time I click one of your videos I end up watching 10, theres such a casual and cool tone to the channel, but somehow all the camera angles, audio, everything, feels so professional and it's nice to see a channel that makes it look so easy while also being so cool.

They couldn't have given him an X-MAXX?
@@VantagePoint2 that would be amazing😂
I love how his channel is getting involved with rc cars
This is basically everything I thought I was doing when I was a kid, but the literal version of it. Loving these RC vids by the way!! So Much FUN!!
sorry sir you were first with this idea, take the mone for this video they obv stole it from u
Love the videos. I’m a divorced dad and finally found something my son and I both watch and share an interest in. Time spent together is time well spent. Thank you Seth!
We need updates on some projects you left dangling:
Oval chainring
Mineral oil in brake lines
He had a status on the baby oil brakes after a year or so. They worked perfectly.
LOTS OF UPDATES NEEDED
I can't remember in what video, but he definitely updated us on the mineral oil. Worked good apparently
Fooker pedals and rev grips

Vote Seth Alvo for president!!! Make america a little different, but kinda the same again!

No, don't add the again part it sounds good like "Make America a little different, but kinda the same"
this is quality, I would totally vote for Seth
Today on Berm Peak we’re building backyard trails at the White House.
I love Seth. "What could go wrong??"

Seth: I haven't been able to find any videos of people hitting mountain bike jumps with RC cars
Matt Jones: coughs in the background
Pat Smage's done a lot with RC cars too
I can't believe how much this channel has succeeded in 4 years when I started watching this channel
Need to adjust the compression and rebound on that RC. Lol
I was about to say, I think they maybe forgot to take out some spacer that comes in packaging so its smaller
I drive rc cars for a hobby and when it starts to dive down he needs to floor it and pitch up hit breaks or reverse. One problem I see he holds the breaks on Landing and that causes a lot of the crashes. (Edit) spelling/grammar I instead Of im
The shocks are over sprung and under dampened
Fig
Yes could be the driver too, you guys are toxic😂😂
“We’re doing something different, but kind of the same”
This is Seth’s favorite line
I thinks it’s everyone’s favorite line now.
I think he originally meant for it to just be a tag line for the second channel after saying coincidentally like, 4 videos in a row. Then the two channels started mixing content.
It's like "the pick that BosnianBill and I made".
Seth: we don’t know what we could do break a wheel off this thing.
Me: I just fix em and keep driving!
That’s the point

I got into rc's at the start of covid, its so cool seeing you connect both of my hobbies. hope to see more of this kind of vids.
Who’s here after Seth announced that he broke his ankle? Get better soon Seth!🙂
yup
I just realized something, he broke his right foot and ankle. In his video he put a fooker pedal on his right side. I'm thinking driveway gap.
@@markkorneychuk7899 i was thinking about that ever since he installed it...
Where did he announce this? I didn’t find out until i watched his halloween video just now
@Bobby Pichetto he said that he didnt get it on video and that it wasnt a crash. if u watch his recent video titled 'so heres the story with my injury' he explains what happened.
for bike hacks: you can make yourself a chain guide by putting a piece of hose around a plastic handlebar mount for a bike light or one of that shiny reflective thing, that comes on cheap bikes and then attaching it to the chainstay with zip ties and 3m tape and it works pretty good.

I think the problem with Seth's bike would not have been fixable with a chain guide. He says the chain kept coming off the drive train for no reason, but it looks like it was because of a malfunctioning rear derailleur.
I used to be SUPER into rc cars. Traxxas is one of the best brands in my opinion, they are near indestructible and super fun to play around with. Great video
LETS GO BABY, ive been waiting for him to get a Traxxas for so long now and it finally happened
Traxxis RC Car: exists
Nokia Phones: Finally! A worthy opponent!
Our battle will be legendary!
if you know hobby grade RC's properly you know traxxas cars are usally on the weaker side compared to other big brands, also they will at a moments notice sue you and destroy your company if you even look at using any of thier ideas they stole from someone else

Seth: What could go wrong
Me: a lot of stuff
Haven’t touched a bike in quite a while. Had a real bad injury about a month ago. Came off of a massive jump, instantly my front tire completely flew off. I went head over heels, got 15 stitches in my face, had internal bleeding, and tore both my thighs open, and dislocated my right shoulder. Hoping to get back when I feel ready. I’m no quitter though.
why did you feel the need to share this?
Luke J why not
@@calistaharsulla3199 get back on the bike my guy
Timmyfranks 1 thanks man! I definitely will.
@@calistaharsulla3199 get well soon
This is UA-cam as its best! Grown men bringing out the children inside then. The world needs more people like you!
My two most favourite pastimes in one video, I would love more content like this.
Growing up in the 80's this was pretty much standard practice for me and my friends. Freestyle bmx and rc cars. Bow and arrows too. Browning or Bear archery: send this guy some compound bows and targets man!
Pretty epic dude! Super fun! You're to the point where you can just vlog your life and we will all watch with joy and amazement. The dream realized!
Pretty much sums up my youth
How? You nailed everything I did, RC, Bikes, Archery
Seths not into weapons, lefty liberal
When they say trails are for everyone, they mean hikers and bikers. Rules for RC have never been established, at least not for my local trails. I've seen RCs several times, both on the single track and pump track. It does not happen often enough to where it's a problem. But yah, if the activity increases, it's a problem. Way to random and out of control for anyone to hike or bike within a LARGE and unexpectedly changing perimeter. Seth, thanks for starting a discussion. I for one would like to see more people get outdoors, so I'd love there to be some guidelines on both sides of the equation where RC and other trails users can coexist. I'm just not aware of any rules they should be following nor any that I, as a biker, should observe if I see RC operators in my area. Who has right of way? What should we call out? etc.
i think if it is a multi use trail then rRC can go on it. but if it is solely made for biking i think they would disrupt biker's attention
lmao no one cares u didnt have to write an essay abt it
Yeah I'm not reading that
Electric bikes are not allowed on most trails where bikes are allowed, in Norway
I would not mind RC cars on trails, however i would like to have some warning sign at the Trail entrance. Maybe a Orange Flag or something which is well visible. RC cars will probably travel the trail multiple times or focus on a section, so if i come blasting down a Hill i would like to know beforehand that a rc car might be shooting round the corner. As long as we cooperate, we can all have fun on the trails i think!
Thicker Oil in the shocks and stiffer valving in the shock would make it more stable when landing.
lowering might also be good for stability.
It doesn't matter too too much if someone asked for the video, as long as it is fun too watch and gives you more subscribers, that's all that really matters. Great video, see you next time!!
Glad to see Traxxas step up, and glad to see more RC content! Love my Maxx!

10/10 for that double backflip at the end, perfect landing wow!!!
I dont even bike myself but i still love watching this😂
samee lol
U should try it's so addictive
Start riding bro
Great job seth I remember when you were still in florida with no space for your bikes now your living the dream in your new house with your dream bikes. Keep It Up!
idk whats more crazy. The fact that I mountain bike and also race RC buggies in club racing, or that Traxxas also watches these vids. So awesome!
I don’t care what videos he makes, even if it’s making pancakes, still great and enjoying. Always jump up when I see a new video. Keep up the work

Seth reasonably clears jump
RC, Im going to do whats called a pro gamer move
This is so surreal. Earlier today I rode Kanuga for the first time and seeing Tortuga again is a treat. Great video Seth and crew!
That was fantastic!! My old neighbour had a petrol RC car and it went so fast and was as durable as this one!! 10/10 Seth!!!
Seth, you should do a vid on the specifics on how to build flow/ gnarly trails. In such, how to know when to put a jump, roller, and when to and how to build berms. Mostly just a how-to vid on trail building. Thanks!
uploaded 16 seconds ago. damn im early. IM LOVING THE RC CAR CONTENT
Hi Seth! Love the vids❤️
"Today we are going to be doing something a little different but kinda the same" absolutely class love it 😁👌👍
Great video.
Truck info for those wondering:
Traxxas Maxx 4s with $110 light kit, Sledgehammer tires on stock wheels and nothing else that I can see.

Bro what. I’ve loved rc and mountain biking for years this channel is now my favorite
Thanks for inspiring me to got build my own MTB trails you are my favorite UA-camr and when I watch your vids I don’t feel like I am watching I feel like I am there
One doesn't own emotion, and when one is owned by emotion, it's a reflection of one's belief that one owns them ♦️Non-Duality
The rc car was imbalanced because of the gopro thats why it was so hard to land. Great video tho!!!
Looks like the bigger battery they installed afterwards helped to rebalance it.
not entirely true, you can control a brushless rc car mid air using throttle and brakes, a good driver can land it perfectly on wheels no matter how it takes of. In this video the driver didnt see the car as hes landing so he couldnt adjust accordingly. also there was something wrong with the shocks...
Steth: drivetrain explodes
Me: immedialty exited for next video
I love that James is just that sage in the woods who comes back just as the world needs him most

Never expected a car to send so hard

Hilarious! Only on this channel could I end up watching MTB and RC cars. Kudos Seth!
New channel anyone? “Little shredders by Berm Peak”
Yesssss
I think Seth is going through a midlife RC crisis!
If this becomes an RC channel I'm out.
Glad to see you said you think it's out of your system for the time being.
This is like the perfect video I just started riding MTB, and i've been doing RC for 20 years!
i'm totally down for more rc, like bikes are obv the main focus but seth doing random other stuff is super entertaining
Damn just came back to this channel and he changed so much I miss the old Seth
Ok just saying, I thought this was a biking channel. Again, just saying, but I liked this channel because of building and riding, but I think the RC element is just not Seths Bike Hacks kinda stuff. Not sure who else agrees, but please just build and ride and save the random stuff for the second channel.
Hey guys “we’re doing something different,,,, but kinda the same”?!
2 quick things, try landing the car in transition, and also when using a lipo battery dont run it till its flat because it decreases the battery life significantly. Also be very careful when charging and storing lipos, they’re dangerous! Cool vid too!
Heal fast and well. Stay safe, and good luck.
