SpongeBob SquarePants Krabby Patty RC Car Doesn’t Drive Underwater

Ohhhhhh! Who lives in a pineapple under the sea? SpongeBob SquarePants! Absorbent and yellow and porous is he! SpongeBob SquarePants! You’ll wish you could shrink down to sponge size and drive through Bikini Bottom in this official Krabby Patty remote-controlled toy car.

I like to imagine a world where all vehicles look like food. Not just cars that look like Krabby Patties, but SUVs that look like strawberries, pickup trucks that look like pineapples, buses that look like bacon, and minivans that look like marshmallows. I could live in that delicious world. But I digress. SpongeBob’s car is rocking all the proper ingredients: fresh lettuce, onions, tomatoes, pickles, mustard, ketchup, sea cheese, and that Krabby’s secret-formula meatless patty. It’s also got a spoiler.

The battery-powered RC offers all of the typical movements: forward, reverse, left, right, and stop, but if it really was designed to drive underwater it should have had a dive and ascend mode buttons too. Oh well. You can’t have everything. SpongeBob fans can grab the Krabby Patty RC Car over at Urban Outfitters for just $25.

The Hot Wheels RC Cybertruck is a mini Tesla for $400

If you're feeling pretty hype about the Tesla Cybertruck but don't have $39,900 to spend on one, maybe Hot Wheels' newest RC vehicle is more your thing. Sure, it's only 1/10 the size and made out of plastic, but here it only takes $400 to live out yo...

Guy Uses RC Toys To Excavate and Expand Basement

Why hire expensive contractors to expand your basement, when you can use RC construction vehicles to do the job? I mean, that’s what I always say. YouTuber LilGiantsConstrCo otherwise known as Joe is an RC hobbyist. He has spent years excavating his basement using nothing but RC construction toys. That’ll stick it to those expensive contractors.

Joe is a grain farmer from southwest Saskatchewan, Canada, and king of toy-based excavation. He started the hobby in 1995 and has amassed a large fleet of construction equipment vehicles. So far he has used the RC truck and excavator to expand his basement by 30 percent, removing around 30 cubic meters (1,059 cubic feet) of dirt. He also used these vehicles to create a walkthrough tunnel that leads from his workshop to the basement of his house too. That’s all pretty impressive. The man has a lot of patience, that’s for sure.

Joe is the co-founder of an RC truck and construction hobbyists forum that is dedicated to the radio controlled heavy commercial hobby. Who knew that these vehicles could actually do the same jobs that their larger scaled counterparts can do? I suppose he could have just grabbed a shovel and had it done in days, but where’s the fun in that?

If you've ever wondered what Rocket League would be like in real life, this RC version is as close of an approximation as you'll get to the video game. As teased earlier this year, Hot Wheels and Psyonix have teamed up to build an actual physical ver...
