Oh hello there, I'm Gav.
Aha "Ooh 'ello, I'm Dan!"
Oh 'ello.
We're the Slow Mo Guys.
Um... We're sat down.
Take a seat yourself, if you want.
No need to stand, if we're...
Why would they be stood there- I don't know.
at the computer.
They're like "Oh a Slow Mo Guys video!"
"I'll just stand up to watch this."
A few months ago, we were very kindly given this car, by Traxxas.
Uh, it goes a hundred miles an hour-
BEAST.
We used it because it was the fastest car I could find, on the internet.
And we had a problem, while we were filming it
in that, the audio was too good.
Yeah, yeah.
Crystal clear...
Sort of, so good that it would hurt your ears, to listen to.
Often the case on a Slow Mo Guys video...
Here's an example of it:
(LOUD RUSTLING WIND)
See what I mean?
Yeah, very clear.
Sounds very clear...
So what we're going to do is make a new intro for you
that is worse sounding.
First thing we thought we'd do is test out the speed, by driving it...
at myself.
At, a hundred miles an hour...
I thought "Wouldn't it be cool, if you could jump over a, a one hundred mile an hour object coming straight at your own legs."
I was like "Yeah. So I have- wait, I have to drive it at myself and jump..." and then you were like "Ah, also do a 180."
(Laughter)
So I had to jump, turn in the air still controlling the car, at a hundred miles an hour.
(Increasing sound of RC car)
(Exclamation)
Whoo!
Wa- was that scary?
It's pretty weird.
(Laughter)
(Pleasant music with an undertone of a deep rumbling vehicle)
Next, we decided "What would a crash look like?"
So Dan drove the car across the flat tarmac onto the grass
and I tracked it, in high speed, this is what it looked like!
Whoa!
(Chuckling)
(Pleasant music again, with sounds of crashing blows)
Serious James Bond flips there.
Looked pretty cool.
Yeah, kicked up the grass, flying through the air.
I've done it in real life and let me tell you It's better to watch it when it's a remote control car, not you in the car.
Fiddlin' with the radio, weren't ya?
Yeah, I told people it was an animal and I swerved to avoid it but I was literally just playing with the radio, not paying attention and I span it backwards, into a bush.
Well done there.
Yep.
Good work.
Next up we thought it would be a good idea to pour a lump of flour onto the road and drive, either over it or through it.
Either way, the particles of flour should look cool.
Okay so to help show the speed of this car I'm gonna plonk down an entire bag of flower here...
...and watch it get obliterated, in Slow Mo.
(Loud wind and satisfying 'pop' of the impact)
(Pleasant music)
(Slow Mo 'pop')
(Pleasant music)
(Groaning roar of the RC car)
We were actually mainly out there filming the flamethrower video
of which, all of the audio is fine, somehow.
The, uh, wind must've kicked up while we were doing this one.
So you, uh, suited up again.
Yep.
And we drove the car, through the flames.
(Pleasant music)
(Slow Mo skidding sound)
So at this point, we haven't broken this thing, yet somehow.
So I felt like, the finale was clear.
Just get another one.
Get a second one of these bad boys.
This one's all see-through, obviously so we can see the individual 'bits' when it crashes into this one.
We went for, a, head-on collision.
'BANG'
Oooooh
(Pleasant music and CRASH sound)
(Skidding)
Aww that wheel is wedged.
Up there.
In the car?
Yeah!
It's shoved up inside.
My beauty!
So when we were filming that, I thought...
"little bit wasteful, what we did there".
Some, sort of, very high performance RC cars.
Definitely for enthusiasts.
But I've got to say, whenever I see a RC car...
I always think...
What would it look like if two slammed into each other?
I know, that people that want one of these cars and use these cars would be like "Augh i really wanna crash one into it, but i just can't do it because it's mine."
"It's my, piece of kit."
Like "I really wanna crash one... I don't wanna crash mine!"
Yeah, we've done it for you, in slow motion.
Yeah, so it is wasteful, but now you don't have to experiment and damage your own goods, if you were thinking of it.
Worth it...
You probably weren't, but...
I'm always fascinated by destruction.
A big WET thanks to Traxxus, for giving us two free cars and then repairing them for us.
They put them into the GTA garage and drove it back out
Yeah, just like straight in and out.
Um, very much appreciate it for the use of this video
And, uh, hopefully you got some enjoyment out of it too.
Feel free to follow us on Twitter, buy some smerch and uh...
Second channel.
So there's a second channel too!
Yep.
(Birds tweeting, cars in the distance and a slight tussle of the wind, a shoe skidding.)
