FIREFLY (Glowing Skateboard Filmed by Drone) / Samadhi Production (Jan Minol)

Remote Control Quadrotor DeLorean / Back to the Future II

Full disclosure: I love anything that is related to Back to the Future II. This do-it-yourself is almost as cool as Mr. Fusion. These clever Russian lads have created a remote control DeLorean time machine using quadrotor technology. Check it out, McFly, it’s cute as a button and completely bitchin’. In addition, check out below, the […]
