take hate as a compliment. what they are really trying to say it that they wish they were you, but are too lazy to work to get themselves into that same position
I know... I am getting better at not letting things get to me but it still happens every once in a while. I appreciate you stopping by! You are definitely one of my inspirations.
@@MarkSantaMaria thanks bro. I just have a little chuckle at them then BLOCK! It's good if they talk negatively about you elsewhere, because its the best form of free advertising. But I want my comment section friendly for all so nasties get blocked
💯love what you guys do. Jealous viewers will always hate for attention. Besides, Kevin’s right. Views and comments good or bad, more attention to what you are doing.
Also keep in mind that some people commenting on your channel, are most likely very depressed and angry individuals without any purpose in life. Don't let the haters get to you Mark, I'm sure their lives suck way more than your life. You seem like a solid person and I've been following your channel for years. I can safely say that you are definitely someone I would chill with. Ignore the miserable masses, they are everywhere!
Honestly, if you don't watch 100% of your reviews you might walk away thinking you're a huge Traxxas fanboy. But in the last bit of every review you're BRUTAL on what you actually think about the vehicle. You've earned the trust of your viewers. The haters are going to hate.
Thank you Mark, don't listen to the haters. Even if you were sponsored by Traxxas or Arrma who cares? If people don't like it they can go start their own RC channel.
Hi Mark! We saw you win an RC truck at Armageddon and give it to a young boy who was at the festival. You are our hero for doing that. Remember that you have a lot more supporters than haters. We are loyal fans of yours! Happy Thanksgiving! Donnie & Jennifer from Florida. ❤
I don't understand people. If you don't like a channel don't watch it. I got back into the hobby about a year and half ago and have learned so much from you Mark and thank you for that. Don't let the haters get to you, their little opinions mean nothing to those of us who really enjoy your channel and there are a lot more of us then them. Thank you for doing what you do.
Bro, all the RC big guns came to support you and your passion that you share with us all, like you said you cant post every time you give something away or just go above and beyond to help your channel or folks around you. Mark you are fine and have helped me and my kids make decisions on what and why we get what we get, Arrma, Traxxas AND Redcat. Keep your head up and good luck with future endeavors.
Brother, everyone likes free stuff… if they complain about you getting free cars it’s because they wish they can have free shit to. Some people just can’t see others doing better than themselves. Do your thing man, love the channel.
Haters will say what they want. You and I are the reason that we both own TH-cam channels so that way we can share our passion with others. There’s no room for hate on TH-cam.
Mark, At 59 I was looking for a hobby I could enjoy in retirement. I appreciate what you and others (RC Driver) do for the hobby. Happy Thanksgiving ! Enjoy your family this time of year.
F the people who complain. Just keep doing what you do. I’m glad you are keeping up with the videos. RC is for fun. Those who complain need to settle down. This is a hobby for enjoyment. You need to stop taking the negative crap to heart. Some people just need to put others down. Just enjoy the RC time you have, be it with or without making videos.
Dont get too annoyed mate .... Any negative comments i get on my channel i delete block and forget .... Dont give the trolls any opportunity 😅 Keep doing what you do 🔥
Thank you for all you do Mark. I cannot believe how much it cost you to run this channel. I'm sure there are more people like me who enjoy pretty much all of your content and appreciate all your hard work.
Mark, I don’t comment often but have been a follower of you for years. Your name is recognized in our household. I have always been amazed at how hard you work and appreciate all you do for the hobby and is that love watching your videos! I have always respected how well you handle the criticism from people that are honestly not worth the time to talk about. I hate that you had to do this but glad that you did and standing up for your self. Just remember that the majority of us are supportive of you and appreciate you. Keep doing what makes you happy brother and block out all of the losers that are jealous and miserable.
Awesome rant! I love how you work hard for your channel. Two things for the haters. 1. Don't like the content, don't watch. 2. Gotta negative comment, say it respectively and give a rational reason why. 3. Build your own channel and get all that money and free cars. Dude, if you get free cars, that's awesome! If you like Traxxas and AARRMA that's cool, I like them too! Finally, with your job situation versus a TH-cam channel, man gotta do what a man have to. Hope all your hard work pays off!
Man, I like your channel, I think I know what you're feeling. You shouldn't reply or entertain the haters, but here we are, keep doing your thing, this is your channel, not theirs.
You are appreciated brotha. I haven’t been able to do much with rc lately. Would definitely like to get back into it like I was but my schedule makes it hard. But watching your channel and some others keeps the joy there for me. Keep up the good work. And if content dies off some because you went back to full time work, the ones that are here to actually support you will still be here. Happy thanksgiving.
They just hating on what success you have done with your content. I really appreciate what info you provide. By watching your videos I just purchased my first RC car. So thank you for all the insight.
There will always be the people trying to drag others down. Don’t stop doing what you are doing! You and your family have been amazing to the RC community! Your wife with the lives and support she gives you is awesome and your kids for recording the content and racing along side you is so cool. Absolutely enjoy your channels including the camping vlogs. You are one of the main ones to get me into the hobby. Hope you can shake it off and just know there are a lot more people who appreciate you!
As a very long time subscriber and avid follower but not a Patreon member / which no offense I’m not a patron member to any of my favorite creators. I just cannot afford to , but I’m very thankful for your content and reviews ! I’ve bought some cheap msn things I’d like to say I truly like this side of you ! Don’t hold back mark do what you want when you want and us true followers will continue to support you
Keep up the Good work Mark. A huge THANK YOU to you and your family. I know there are many of us who enjoy and also look forward to the content you create. Many haters, only hate and that is all they can do, because the haters do not know how to deal with the envy that they have for you and your channel. Keep it up, and Happy Thanksgiving to your, your wife and boys!
Ugh, I'm struggling to put my thoughts into words. Simply put, some people suck on social media. And some people suck in person too! We know when you really like a car. It's no different for any RC TH-camr. If we can see and sense that excitement, then we know the car is fun. We hope you can keep the great videos coming, and we wish you the best of luck!
Don’t let the haters get you. Whenever you build something amazing there is always people trying to rip it down. Love your content, your fans will be here no matter what direction you go.
Don't let those haters get you down. They’re probably just jealous about what you do. Bump those people off your channel and you be you. I enjoy watching what you do. You have a whole lot more people out there that enjoy what you do. Don't let those few haters get to you. I support what you do. Keep rocking it.
I approve this venting and back you 100%. If people only knew what you did at the Traxxas store helping others enjoy the hobby. It was really cool getting to meet you there that one day. Your a humble guy and I wish you the best on a new job. 💯
Hey Mark, love what you do for the r/c community! I'm 42 and been doing it since I was about 12 years old! You are an asset to the hobby. Don't worry about the haters, you're doing it right bud! Happy holidays to you & the fam from Southern Cali..
As long as you're being honest in your videos and expressing your opinion it is Nobody's Business whether you're getting paid or not that is between you and your family and whoever you're doing stuff for, nobody else's. And as a content creator to another I hope you can continue doing your videos I enjoy them.
Hello Mark, you do this because you enjoy the hobby & helping out the old and new to the hobby. For those of us we really appreciate the content and reviews. For those who don't, all I would say is NEXT. Have a Happy Thanksgiving with your family.
You can’t please everybody and there are always going to be haters and envious folks out there. Even if you were getting paid by whomever then all the power to you dude. You and other RC TH-camrs out there spend hours and hours each week making content that the rest of us enjoy. While you’re spending your time making videos the rest of us are out there bashing, crawling, racing, wrenching and just having fun with our RC’s. You TH-cam guys deserve the freebies when they come. Keep it fun man and don’t let the negative vibes get you down. Happy Thanksgiving to my fellow Americans out there!
Mark, you don’t owe anybody ANY explanations! But, I 100% feel you. Listening to negative comments and haters like that all the time will wear on you mentally. Just remember one thing, when all those miserable people make those baseless ignorant comments, it’s because in reality they envy you, and the hard work you’ve done to get yourself into this position. Like Kev Talbot said, their mad because they want to be you, but are too damn lazy to do what it takes to get there! Love your channel. I watch you, Kev Talbot, and Phil over at Tomley RC. That’s about it, other than a new guy I really like, Nate’s RC. You 4 are the most down to earth guys on TH-cam where RC is concerned and you all want your channels to be about fun, and education. Never stop being you! Hope you have a great Thanksgiving with your family, brother!
Mark, love what you do man. Forget those a**hole hater. They are jealous of what you have because they probably still live in mommy’s basement. I was actually hoping Traxxas and Horizon was paying you so that you could continue your channel. Keep up your enthusiasm for the hobby because it’s needed. Thanks
Mark, theres always gunna be haters and shit talkers! There just mad cause they cant do it!! Keep trying to do what your doing. You are an inspiration to us in the rc world!!
Keep up all the hard work. People will always hate what they don't have. Jealousy can get the best of us all. You can't and will not please everyone all the time. I understand your frustration especially since you work so hard. I appreciate what you do and thank you for all that you have done.
Im glad folks like you get out there and share the hobby its no small task. If it starts to feel like work time for a quick break to recharge. Us old controlline guys joke it would take $2M investment in a hobby shop to make $1M, dark hummer thankfull for folks that take the risk, and keep us supplied 😀
First thing to any business, we can’t please everyone.. we do appreciate you for sharing. I’m starting my a cbannel for me and my kids. Same thing just to share my hobby and enjoyment… you do enough for us all as is… you share more than anyone daily. It’s really appreciated… hello from Ohio I have maybe 20k+ in rc cars I wanna share
I have been watching your videos since day 1. Keep up the great work 👍 You are the reason I got into this hobby. I support you all the way!! Keep going Mark!!
Easily one of my favorite RC car channels. I even enjoy the content just checking out local hobby shops. A little bummed RC box club isn't available in Canada. Just keep the quality content coming!
Preach it Mark, it’s because of guys like you and the content you provide everyone that keeps this hobby ALIVE!! Thank you, your wife, and your boys for what you do, we do this hobby because we LOVE IT!! God Bless 👊🏻
Keep doing what you do Mark! You touch on a lot of different parts of the RC hobby and you showcase the joy of discovering new models and products. I have bias to certain brands because i do mostly scale crawlers and your content has me considering more of the faster bashing type platforms that aren't so delicate and fun for anyone to drive. By you getting them for free can save us viewers the headache of buying a couple hundred dollar model that falls short of expectations.
You deserve to make money for what you do. Period. The RC TH-camr community helps keep things alive and exciting. Watching all of you guys is an extension to this awesome hobby. Use Raffle and everything you believe in that does yourself good. 😎
I just started my channel because you inspired me and I want to pass that on to our Dutch viewers. I think it would be terrible if jealous people would interfere all the time while you put all your energy into making your videos. Luckily you have enough people who don't think that way👍
As someone who got into rc this year, I've really enjoyed your channel and content - I hope you're able to keep it going + make a living out of something you love!
bro, you do you. people don't need to know what you make and what you get for free. your youtube is your income/side hustle. and they shouldn't care with all the knowledge you offer and great videos you make. haters are gonna hate. Praying you're able to find a great fulltime job, whether it's your channel or another job. stay positive.
This is one of my favorite RC channels. Not only because of the content, but you always have a positive outlook on things. Seeing that, and someone genuinely having fun brings joy to my day. Keep up the good work, people will always hate.
Just wanted to say thanks for the content you produce! I’m relatively new to the hobby and channels like yours have helped me to make more informed decisions when purchasing new RC cars. Keep up the good work and best of luck to you in your future endeavors!
You should be making money for your time, hard-work, dedication. Don't let these haters get to you. They are losers who have nothing better to do but whine, complain and hate. You don't owe us an explanation. Do your thing and MAKE MONEY off this channel. You put out great content that we enjoy, so get paid. Keep up the great work!
Haters are gonna hate, but I totally get it man. You can only brush it off for so long before something needs to be said. I support you brother and wish you tons of health and happiness on your new adventures in life!
When I left that comment, it wasn’t meant to bash you. I’ve been in the TH-cam game for a while, and even though I haven’t posted videos recently, I still make a living off my content and sponsorships. There’s this common misconception that influencers shouldn’t make money on TH-cam, but I’ve found that viewers don’t really mind as long as we’re honest about what we’re saying. I enjoy your videos and watch almost all of them, but sometimes I get the sense that you focus solely on the positives and avoid mentioning the negatives. A lot of people rely on reviews like yours to make informed decisions before spending their hard-earned money. I’m sure you’ve turned to TH-cam reviews yourself when shopping for something for your home or business-it’s a valuable resource for finding out what’s best. My point is that sometimes, we need to step up and address the flaws in a product, even if it means being critical of a sponsor. Personally, I make sure every contract I sign includes a clause allowing me to speak the truth about a product without any backlash from the sponsor. It’s important to be transparent because, for some people, $250 is a lot of money. Protecting consumers should always come first. The rollout of the Mini Maxx wasn’t smooth, and it often takes honest feedback and public pressure to push companies like Traxxas to improve their products. If my comment upset you, I apologize. I know how much effort you put into making the RC community enjoyable for everyone. At the end of the day, though, trust is everything, whether it’s from viewers, readers, or fellow creators. I hope you have a great Thanksgiving and Christmas. Take care!
It's all good man, I'm over it.... thanks for watching and the support. 99% of the RC cars have weaknesses. I think every RC car has its place weather I like it or not. I tend to think of the kid who got one for christmas and loves to watch videos about it. I want him to be proud of his car flaws and all. In regards to the mini maxx, its almost flawless if you keep it in the form that its intended for. Another thing is I'm not the guy you want to watch if you are looking for negativity. There is a long story behind that and it is related to my career in RC. I'll tell everyone about it in an upcoming video.. thats a good idea... haha!
Hi Mark .. you’re a major inspiration bro … I’m a 46 year old dude in Australia 🇦🇺 trying my hand at making TH-cam content as well… PLEASE stick in there bro.. you’re the best Rc content creator out there..
Sign that you are succeeding! Those who hate will probably hate everything, they are just unhappy small-minded people who hate, period! Both Traxxas and Arrma along with the other brands SHOULD be sending you swag, shit for them is freeish (at the cost of an RC model) advertisement, and ultimately is where all if not most who started in the youtube journey see themselves at some point. Do these people not know how anything works? Especially the other TH-camr, wtf, jealous at all!? You, sir, are solely responsible for getting me back in the hobby after a couple of decades, I have spent thousands of doll hairs back in the hobby in all of those brands, and all because of you, so Thank you! I'm truly enjoying the content!
I have found most haters are jealous in disguise. Haters suck. Keep up the great work and keep pushing. Your supporters and fans love and appreciate the hard work you put into entertaining us and being a advocate for the hobby!
I understand 100% brother. I have invested a lot of money and time in my channel since I started RC 7 months age. Probably 5 figures and I am definitely in the negative. I'm just now starting to make pennies, not dollars. And I'm a little channel, LOL. People just do not understand how much money it takes to run certain channels on TH-cam. I get a lot of jealous and hate as well. Like Kevin Talbot said, Take it as a compliment. Love your channel and keep up the great work man.
You don’t have to explain yourself, Mark people don’t know that it cost a lot of money to keep your channel running, and all those cars that you buy comes out of your pocket at the end of the day you do have a life and a career which pays for things for our hobbies Let the hate keep hating. Love your Vlogs. Keep up the good work, Mark. I’ve been following you for a while subscribe to you for a long time and I know that all those cars and expenses come straight out of that pocket sometimes people don’t understand that you have that much love for the hobby. Take care Mark God bless.
Rant videos are the best! ❤ Anyway, it’s clear you are one of the hardest working guys in the RC TH-cam space and deserve all of your success.
Love you’re videos
@@RcFanaticYt thanks!
take hate as a compliment. what they are really trying to say it that they wish they were you, but are too lazy to work to get themselves into that same position
I know... I am getting better at not letting things get to me but it still happens every once in a while. I appreciate you stopping by! You are definitely one of my inspirations.
@@MarkSantaMaria thanks bro. I just have a little chuckle at them then BLOCK! It's good if they talk negatively about you elsewhere, because its the best form of free advertising. But I want my comment section friendly for all so nasties get blocked
💯love what you guys do. Jealous viewers will always hate for attention. Besides, Kevin’s right. Views and comments good or bad, more attention to what you are doing.
Smile and wave then ask. Are you mad bro!!! Block and move on! Hope your day gets better. Happy Thanksgiving
@KevinTalbotTV and @MarkSantaMaria
You guys are amazing in the rc industry
I retired from the Navy, found this channel and something fun to do! Please keep enjoying this hobby! Most of us are civilized humans! God bless you!
Also keep in mind that some people commenting on your channel, are most likely very depressed and angry individuals without any purpose in life. Don't let the haters get to you Mark, I'm sure their lives suck way more than your life. You seem like a solid person and I've been following your channel for years. I can safely say that you are definitely someone I would chill with. Ignore the miserable masses, they are everywhere!
100% Thanks man!
Honestly, if you don't watch 100% of your reviews you might walk away thinking you're a huge Traxxas fanboy. But in the last bit of every review you're BRUTAL on what you actually think about the vehicle. You've earned the trust of your viewers. The haters are going to hate.

As hard as you work, you should be paid. Don't let the comments get to you. You're doing a ton to help people and the hobby.
I don't understand people. If you don't like a channel don't watch it. I got back into the hobby about a year and half ago and have learned so much from you Mark and thank you for that. Don't let the haters get to you, their little opinions mean nothing to those of us who really enjoy your channel and there are a lot more of us then them. Thank you for doing what you do.
Even if you were getting paid, how is it any of our GODDAMN business?
No crap
People just want unbiased reviews, some TH-camrs give biased reviews because they don't wanna risk affecting their flow of free stuff.
Bro, all the RC big guns came to support you and your passion that you share with us all, like you said you cant post every time you give something away or just go above and beyond to help your channel or folks around you. Mark you are fine and have helped me and my kids make decisions on what and why we get what we get, Arrma, Traxxas AND Redcat. Keep your head up and good luck with future endeavors.
Brother, everyone likes free stuff… if they complain about you getting free cars it’s because they wish they can have free shit to. Some people just can’t see others doing better than themselves. Do your thing man, love the channel.

At 59 I was looking for a hobby I could enjoy in retirement. I appreciate what you and others (RC Driver) do for the hobby.

Thanks man! I also have a great team that makes all this possible. I totally forgot to mention employee expenses... thats a big one.... haha!

Awesome rant! I love how you work hard for your channel. Two things for the haters.
1. Don't like the content, don't watch.
2. Gotta negative comment, say it respectively and give a rational reason why.
3. Build your own channel and get all that money and free cars.
Dude, if you get free cars, that's awesome! If you like Traxxas and AARRMA that's cool, I like them too! Finally, with your job situation versus a TH-cam channel, man gotta do what a man have to.
Hope all your hard work pays off!
Man, I like your channel, I think I know what you're feeling. You shouldn't reply or entertain the haters, but here we are, keep doing your thing, this is your channel, not theirs.

This hobby is addicting. I literally have to mail my RC cars to another mailing address because my wife gets mad.lol
Please ignore such comments and don't let them upset you. As many others have said, they just wish they could be doing what you are!
Don’t pay attention to the negative comments! You have great content and I have learned a lot.
Thanks!

Us old controlline guys joke it would take $2M investment in a hobby shop to make $1M, dark hummer thankfull for folks that take the risk, and keep us supplied 😀
First thing to any business, we can’t please everyone.. we do appreciate you for sharing. I’m starting my a cbannel for me and my kids. Same thing just to share my hobby and enjoyment… you do enough for us all as is… you share more than anyone daily. It’s really appreciated… hello from Ohio I have maybe 20k+ in rc cars I wanna share
I have been watching your videos since day 1. Keep up the great work 👍 You are the reason I got into this hobby. I support you all the way!! Keep going Mark!!
Appreciate what you do! Love watching the channel and the content you and most TH-camrs of this hobby provide. Thank you.
I learn so much from you Mark
Keep up the good work
Keep on keeping on.
Always enjoy watching your channel.
I really appreciate your channel! Thank you for everything you do and have a Happy Thanksgiving!
Easily one of my favorite RC car channels. I even enjoy the content just checking out local hobby shops. A little bummed RC box club isn't available in Canada. Just keep the quality content coming!
Hang in there Mark, your channel is great . Hope everything works out and you’re able to keep producing content 😎👊
Preach it Mark, it’s because of guys like you and the content you provide everyone that keeps this hobby ALIVE!! Thank you, your wife, and your boys for what you do, we do this hobby because we LOVE IT!! God Bless 👊🏻
Thank you for doing what you do on this channel. I appreciate all the content you make .
From Diesel
To all of the haters,if you don’t have anything nice to say, don’t say anything!
Keep doing what you do Mark! You touch on a lot of different parts of the RC hobby and you showcase the joy of discovering new models and products. I have bias to certain brands because i do mostly scale crawlers and your content has me considering more of the faster bashing type platforms that aren't so delicate and fun for anyone to drive. By you getting them for free can save us viewers the headache of buying a couple hundred dollar model that falls short of expectations.
Haters are motivators I always like to say. I hope to keep seeing more great content from you as I always enjoy every video!
You deserve to make money for what you do. Period. The RC TH-camr community helps keep things alive and exciting. Watching all of you guys is an extension to this awesome hobby. Use Raffle and everything you believe in that does yourself good. 😎
thank you mark. you’re totally justified in being upset with those people!!! keep doing what you’re doing.
hey man i have been watching for awhile and love watching. dont let those people get you down. i really enjoy your videos.
I always appreciate the videos from everyone showing new stuff good and bad and fun videos its a shame people have to hate on it
Mark your doing a great job and don’t let them get you down. I always enjoy your content
I just started my channel because you inspired me and I want to pass that on to our Dutch viewers. I think it would be terrible if jealous people would interfere all the time while you put all your energy into making your videos. Luckily you have enough people who don't think that way👍
The great support definitely out weigh the haters so all is good. ;)
As someone who got into rc this year, I've really enjoyed your channel and content - I hope you're able to keep it going + make a living out of something you love!
Never mind the hate bro. Keep doing what you enjoy
Mark, you going to have some people that will always have something to say. Keep doing you man, don't let them in your space.
Every once in a while I got keep it real... haha
bro, you do you. people don't need to know what you make and what you get for free. your youtube is your income/side hustle. and they shouldn't care with all the knowledge you offer and great videos you make. haters are gonna hate. Praying you're able to find a great fulltime job, whether it's your channel or another job. stay positive.
This is one of my favorite RC channels. Not only because of the content, but you always have a positive outlook on things. Seeing that, and someone genuinely having fun brings joy to my day. Keep up the good work, people will always hate.
Mark ur awesome. Don't listen to rude people. You got me back into rc I appreciate. Ur videos.
Just wanted to say thanks for the content you produce! I’m relatively new to the hobby and channels like yours have helped me to make more informed decisions when purchasing new RC cars. Keep up the good work and best of luck to you in your future endeavors!
You should be making money for your time, hard-work, dedication. Don't let these haters get to you. They are losers who have nothing better to do but whine, complain and hate. You don't owe us an explanation. Do your thing and MAKE MONEY off this channel. You put out great content that we enjoy, so get paid. Keep up the great work!
Don’t let these haters mess up your joy. Keep it the great content man
Haters are gonna hate, but I totally get it man. You can only brush it off for so long before something needs to be said. I support you brother and wish you tons of health and happiness on your new adventures in life!
When I left that comment, it wasn’t meant to bash you. I’ve been in the TH-cam game for a while, and even though I haven’t posted videos recently, I still make a living off my content and sponsorships. There’s this common misconception that influencers shouldn’t make money on TH-cam, but I’ve found that viewers don’t really mind as long as we’re honest about what we’re saying.
I enjoy your videos and watch almost all of them, but sometimes I get the sense that you focus solely on the positives and avoid mentioning the negatives. A lot of people rely on reviews like yours to make informed decisions before spending their hard-earned money. I’m sure you’ve turned to TH-cam reviews yourself when shopping for something for your home or business-it’s a valuable resource for finding out what’s best.
My point is that sometimes, we need to step up and address the flaws in a product, even if it means being critical of a sponsor. Personally, I make sure every contract I sign includes a clause allowing me to speak the truth about a product without any backlash from the sponsor. It’s important to be transparent because, for some people, $250 is a lot of money. Protecting consumers should always come first.
The rollout of the Mini Maxx wasn’t smooth, and it often takes honest feedback and public pressure to push companies like Traxxas to improve their products. If my comment upset you, I apologize. I know how much effort you put into making the RC community enjoyable for everyone. At the end of the day, though, trust is everything, whether it’s from viewers, readers, or fellow creators.
I hope you have a great Thanksgiving and Christmas. Take care!
😂 You meant everything you said on tomleys video and now you’re trying to be nice. You were definitely trying to bash him.
@ I did mean everything I said on his video. And I mean everything I said here too. Simple as that.
and it was meant to bash him
It's all good man, I'm over it.... thanks for watching and the support. 99% of the RC cars have weaknesses. I think every RC car has its place weather I like it or not. I tend to think of the kid who got one for christmas and loves to watch videos about it. I want him to be proud of his car flaws and all. In regards to the mini maxx, its almost flawless if you keep it in the form that its intended for. Another thing is I'm not the guy you want to watch if you are looking for negativity. There is a long story behind that and it is related to my career in RC. I'll tell everyone about it in an upcoming video.. thats a good idea... haha!

👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
I bought an xmaxx because of you and Kevintalbot. Keep doing you mark I need more traxxas content
Hi Mark .. you’re a major inspiration bro … I’m a 46 year old dude in Australia 🇦🇺 trying my hand at making TH-cam content as well… PLEASE stick in there bro.. you’re the best Rc content creator out there..
I have enjoyed all of the videos that I have watched. You do an amazing job. I will continue to watch them as long as you are making them.
Just keep doing you. Love all your content. Block the haters. Happy Thanksgiving to you and your family.
You really are good guy, don't let those jerks bother to you. You and jang really are the heart of r c on youtube
People are going to hate no matter the circumstances you do you. Both channels are awesome and the content is very informative.
Good video Mark! I don't live far from you if you ever need help with anything!
Sign that you are succeeding! Those who hate will probably hate everything, they are just unhappy small-minded people who hate, period! Both Traxxas and Arrma along with the other brands SHOULD be sending you swag, shit for them is freeish (at the cost of an RC model) advertisement, and ultimately is where all if not most who started in the youtube journey see themselves at some point. Do these people not know how anything works? Especially the other TH-camr, wtf, jealous at all!? You, sir, are solely responsible for getting me back in the hobby after a couple of decades, I have spent thousands of doll hairs back in the hobby in all of those brands, and all because of you, so Thank you! I'm truly enjoying the content!
Nobody business but yours bubba. Keep on doing you. I appreciate your stuff.
Let ‘em have man!! Keep up the awesome job 🤘🏻thanks for your honest output/reviews!!
I have found most haters are jealous in disguise. Haters suck. Keep up the great work and keep pushing. Your supporters and fans love and appreciate the hard work you put into entertaining us and being a advocate for the hobby!
THANKS MAN!
@@MarkSantaMaria I got your back sir! Keep pumping that content out!
Dont worry about those folks just do your thing keep up the good work
Keep doing your thing! I watch you all the time and appreciate all the great content
That was awesome thanks for the rant I feel better lol
I understand 100% brother. I have invested a lot of money and time in my channel since I started RC 7 months age. Probably 5 figures and I am definitely in the negative. I'm just now starting to make pennies, not dollars. And I'm a little channel, LOL. People just do not understand how much money it takes to run certain channels on TH-cam. I get a lot of jealous and hate as well. Like Kevin Talbot said, Take it as a compliment. Love your channel and keep up the great work man.
You don’t have to explain yourself, Mark people don’t know that it cost a lot of money to keep your channel running, and all those cars that you buy comes out of your pocket at the end of the day you do have a life and a career which pays for things for our hobbies Let the hate keep hating. Love your Vlogs. Keep up the good work, Mark. I’ve been following you for a while subscribe to you for a long time and I know that all those cars and expenses come straight out of that pocket sometimes people don’t understand that you have that much love for the hobby. Take care Mark God bless.
