It’s good to be able to hear the cars when they’re driving for a comparison of the sound.

Thanks for the fun video, it would be cool if you ran them all on a 540 silver can on 2s. My local club runs a 540 class and pretty cool really balances out the field from vintage to modern buggies. Love the track, wish I had the space.

I can't remember the Hot Shot being that nimble. I had a Super Sabre and it never cornered like that. The XLS out cornered most cars, except the PB Mini Mustang. Cool video buddy, loved it.

Hi Gav & Becca, loving the show, recently discovered your channel and going through your past video's. My mate's and I are planning a Rally rc competition and looking at timing systems, just wondered what you are using?

I would have suggested a modern ~$250 2WD buggy RTR shootout, but there's not enough of those currently on the market to do that. It would literally just be the highly engineered Serpent SRX-2 MM RTR vs the powerful but woefully outdated Traxxas Bandit VXL, and we all know how that will go down - the SRX-2 would completely destroy the Bandit and the Traxxas Fanboys will get salty.

@garymurphy5133 3 жыл бұрын

Gavin,liking this track comp for the cars. Can you do a timed lap/laps board like Topgear?. You could even give the driver a name, rather than"The Stig" how about " The Git" just a suggestion.

How does the Falcon do on the track? A shoot out would be fun with tamiya 2wd buggies. Grasshopper, hornet, frog, falcon, fox.

To test the sterling out on the buggys, you should do some weaving in ñ out off the cones.

Have you been steeling traffic cones... Also just built up avante 2011 after having 2001 as a kid.. Do you think bushless is a good idea .. And if so how much power do think 🤔

What lap timing app do you use??

@RCKickschannel 3 жыл бұрын

LapTracker app. I was planning on getting a LapMonitor unit and I talked with the company about getting one on the show. The owner was happy to send one for review but he never came back to me in the end so I found the Laptracker app.

@ericwood2790 3 жыл бұрын

That was pretty predictable, would like to see era correct match ups, like the Frog vs the Kyosho Scorpion . The modern buggies with the right tires will always outpace the classic buggies. Maybe see some of those early 90s tamiyas like the Dyna Storm and Super Astute .

I love my Hotshot. It’s in need of some love but in this condition I can drive and enjoy it. I have everything to restore it but I keep putting it off as it will then become a shelf queen and I’m not ready to give up driving it just yet.

@ptaylor5014 3 жыл бұрын

could you add something to outline the track like a garden hose or long piece of rope Just an idea for you if you have not already thought of it 👍 it would make it easier for us viewers to see were the actual track is.

@RCKickschannel 3 жыл бұрын

100% yes Paul! The cones work well for me but don’t work on camera. The plan is to change to a 5cm rope for edging. The issue is the bill is almost £200! I’m holding off to see if these videos are popular. If people watch them enough, I will save up and place an order for it. 👍🏻

@ptaylor5014 3 жыл бұрын

@@RCKickschannel Sorry for very late reply, but why not just buy a bright yellow garden hose and use that? cost only about £20 not £200! i know the hose will only be about half the diameter of the rope you mention.

Looking at body design, going from the old to the new, What happened!

@VestedUTuber 3 жыл бұрын

Engineering happened. RC car bodies have become a tuning option now, rather than just an aesthetic choice. Like them or hate them, aerodynamically optimized cab-forward bodies are here to stay, at least on the racing side of things.
