Recreating the Mythbusters rocket car

Written by

Since I have a big rocket now, why not strap it to a car and try and recreate the epic Mythbusters episodes with the JATO car?

Hope you enjoy it as much I did making it

    Devid, you crazy Swede 😀
    Only thing I missed compared to the Mythbusters original… FPV flight with your tricopter following and filming the scene from above 😉
    Keep up exploring the RC world, more crashes at a time 😉

    Ive kinda got the feeling that RC car/truck would have gone quicker with the electric motor removed…
    Any chance of a 2nd attempt?
    Perhaps using a DeLorean as Im sure it’ll easily surpass 88mph! :v
    Either way, Im eagerly awaiting an FPV-Tricopter-Rocket episode…..pleeezz??
    Or is Tri-rocket-copter being saved for the final episode…???
    Thanks again! 🙂

    Anyway amazing video as usual.

    Hint: Your center of thrust is not in line with the center of mass.
    Outstanding and great fun to watch thanks

    mythbusters are incompetent I can “bust them on at least two of their “Busts” (wash board, and civil war liquid fueled rocket).
