Mark, thanks for letting us know what you do and yes hard work is key. I just got back into the hobby this past summer after I retired. I put in 60-65 hour weeks and had no time for fun. I raced on a backyard track with friends in the 80's. We ran every Friday night for years. I always look up my next possible car as I know you probably have one for an honest review. Having the time now I am having a blast and try to get out everyday. I now have 6 R/C's and 5 are Traxxas. My E-Revo 2.0 is my favorite. Thanks for thanking the time to put out quality videos. Many thanks.

I just found your KZfaq channel about 2 weeks ago. I have been trying to watch all your videos in my spare time. I was out of the hobby for awhile but jumped back into it and regret selling everything I had before. Don't worry about the haters they will always hate. I work with guys that ask me how I afford all my rc cars and have 2 Harleys. I tell them we make the same money and if they made better financial decisions they could have more stuff to. Keep the videos coming.

Great video, Mark! I recently got back into RC after a 35 year hiatus. At first I wanted to fix up my old Tamiya Hornet but after searching the internet for parts I realized how much the RC world has changed over the years. Decided to get a modern RC so I recently purchased my first Traxxas Slash 4x4. Slash is just fun to drive and makes me feel like I'm 13 again. Puts a huge smile on my face! Love your channel and all your tips are so helpful! Looking forward watching all your videos.

Good video. I totally get the second car or back up of the same car. You like something so much that you want to enjoy using it, but at the same time don't want to use it because it wont be the same after that. Having another copy brand new in the box frees up the apprehension of using the car you like so much. Having worked so hard to attain what you have means so much more to you than someone that lives off a family trust. I grew up in lower class, single mom with 4 kids working as a waitress family. We didn't have alot and did without what most other families took for granted. I learned to value and take good care of what little I had. I don't sell much so onlookers today might think I have alot. But really, I have alot because I appreciate it, having worked so hard to achieve. I enjoy the enthusiasm in your videos because you love the RC hobby and engage with it. : )

Mark, you be you and let the haters hate. You owe them NOTHING. I always say : If you love something, do it. And do what you Love. You do what you Love so it's not really a job. And the RC world needs more down to earth people such as yourself. My friend is gone now, but he's the one who got me into the hobby and I love all my RC cars and all the wonderful and weird, crazy car fanatics I've met in the last year and a half. Keep up the great work Buddy and don't ever let anyone make you frown. And I always buy two just in case one gets destroyed because of being crazy/stupid or if it catches fire. Lots of positive vibes to you, bro.

I sort of have the same idea of having 2 of everything. I very rarely actually buy something twice, but I do check to see if it is still available to buy. If I have something that can’t be replaced since it’s not made anymore, I am super careful with it so it doesn’t get beat up.

The biggest problem is that with the chassis brace its a total pain to pull apart everytime something breaks. It takes me like 2 hours sometimes just to change a diff. Definable super stressful lol. I can't even imagine having 11 hobbygrade RCs. I only have 2-3, plus some toy grade stuff for my daughter.

No matter what you do for a living you’ve always got to train yourself to enjoy it … that’s my perspective from the day I could work … cause if you don’t and you let your job control your Life then your living to work and not working to live … I’m constantly running into those coworkers that can’t wait till 5 to go home … don’t get me wrong but home is great … but the reality is that work still goes on and if your working a busy schedule and always thinking about going home then basically your watching your life just fly by …so train your mind to get the most out of everyday and try to enjoy what you do for a living and don’t take life to seriously… Like I tell my kids whatever you do in life ..master it and someone will see your goodness…. I’m 48 and had multiple jobs from the day I turned 16 and now been pipe fitting for 22 years now and love it…and the RC hobby has been with me for at least 20 years… love what you do .. live as you can … and take one day at a time … god bless all …

If you read this I had many many R/Cs Hundreds.in fact. many collectables and many funners ( Runners) My favorite way to run them is something youve never heard of in your life. I used to have a hobby shop and I had a one of a kind r/c race track. It was a flat oval 15ft x 30 ft. track. There were 6 race cars to rent to parties. They were 10th scale NASCAR 4WD drift oval and IT WAS THE BEST FORM OF RACING EVER. The cars were gorgeous and stood up to bashing because they all going same direction with foam bumpers under the bodies on all 4 sides and slippery tires helped release impact.forces. I used to dial down speed for younger kids buy they still drifted 100% fantastic. Long run times and there was not any need for a drivers stand. Also NO CORNER MARSHELLING NEEDED.

we have a good number of folks that run RC in the winter to get a racing fix and keep them busy when they cant be out running real sprint cars. alot of those guys joke the rc season is the cheap season.

Mark we watch your videos for great entertainment, an education, good informational reviews, and because you seem like a real down to earth good guy. I think it’s a shame you get bothered about this stuff so much you felt you needed to explain yourself. Shame on those people who even had the audacity to ask! What you do for a living and how you afford all the fun stuff that makes you happy is none of their damn business! And can I just say you have one hell of an awesome RC collection brother 🙌🏼

This video hits different. I literally gave up gambling and started into 1/10 crawlers. I have a trx4 high trail, trx4m bronco and the new redcat fusion. So much cheaper than what i was spending before

You do you! As someone with a tendency to collect stuff, I get wanting a backup. I don't want to play with the collector pieces, so I need a second one... You have a lot of passion for your hobby and it's cool that you share that. Keep it up! :-)

Brother... I couldn't relate more!... I actually have to have a backup for my backup before I can really enjoy something... the first time i went broke in business, people saw the next month I'd have a different car or new clothes or gear, and they'd ask how I could afford it if I just lost everything... all I could say is that I had a backup... and the second time people again asked me how I could seemingly start over not at the bottom when I just lost everything, and all I could say was that I had a backup for my backup... lol... I believe in putting it all out there, win or lose, but I build a backup and a second backup first so I can start over if my hand goes south... good to know I'm not the only one out there... problem is my taste in this hobby is for some of the bigger vehicles... I can't bring myself to buy 2 outcast 8s trucks... but I have 2 or 3 of many of my vehicles, even 1/5 scalers... and in the past, full size as well.... 2 Buick somersets, 2 acura legends, 3 Honda preludes, 2 corolla fx16s, most the same year and I owned them simultaneously... used cars because I wasn't rich, but that's just how I felt comfortable! Cheers to OCD!

In a way I’m the same way with having 2 of everything, just with parts and not the full car, I got enough extra parts to fix the things that break more often.
