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.
Hey Mark! You are awesome! You gave my son a $700 dollar truck YOU won at Arrmagedon.... We were excited you won it cause we wanted to watch you review it. You turned around and handed it to my son. Just wow! Don't worry about the people that give you a hard time. I have met you in person and I can say with authority you are good people.
This is Billy with Traxxas. Just following up on the lost check in the mail we sent you. We are going to send your quarterly payment via certified mail next time. Sorry for the delay.
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.
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. ❤
Mark, your enthusiasm for all things RC is why we keep coming back. You get it, RC is fun regardless of whatever brand or car you’re driving. Thank you for sharing your joy about new products with us. You make it better.
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.
Hey Mark, As a close friend, I just want to take a moment to set the record straight on a few things. I saw the similar remark that “TH-camr” you mentioned comment at SBG about "Traxxas must pay you well" when he spoke out, and honestly, I think it’s worth addressing here. First off, people and companies see you as an RC Content Creator, not just a TH-camr. TH-cam is simply a platform you use to share your passion, and it’s frustrating to see anyone downplay that. Don’t waste your time with toxic voices who thrive on nitpicking flaws to drive traffic to their channels. Sure, Traxxas, like any company, has its flaws, but that doesn’t define the entire industry. Every RC brand has their strengths and weaknesses, just like every person does. Now, let’s talk about your accomplishments this year, which have been nothing short of incredible: -Back in March, you helped raise over $5,000 for the Childhood Cancer Foundation of Southern California. -You helped bring over 26,000 people to the RC Supershow, up from just 4,500 in previous years. You dedicated two days to engaging with the RC community in California, all on your own time, without compensation. -At the National Retail Hobby Store Association event, you were recognized as RC Content Creator of the Year in front of thousands of people, including all the major RC companies. And that's just the tip of the iceberg. I could list hundreds more accomplishments, but I don’t want to make your head any bigger than mine. 😅 So, honestly, there’s no reason for you to rant. You’ve earned your place and then some. I’m the one who’s allowed to rant. It’s 1:22 AM, the turkey still isn’t done, and our guests left hours ago... 🤦♂ Just know that I’ve got your back, and you should be proud of everything you’ve done this year. Keep doing what you do best!
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.
Almost 50yrs old and never owned an rc car. Just bought my first to have some fun with our pets about 1 week ago. Now I'm hooked and already wanting to feed this new enthusiasm with all the content I can get. I stumbled upon one of your videos where it was pretty technical with what you were doing to your particular car and I became even more fascinated. I really appreciate the education you've given me and the world through your passion. And because of people like yourself I now have the start of a new hobby because of how infectious other peoples passion can be. So thank you sir. Not that you were fishing for any of this but wanted to share nonetheless. Subscribed.
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.
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.
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!
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.
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.
Mark, all I ask is that you’re honest. If you get paid or given a car just make it known. Totally enjoy the content just keep doing what you can. I think Traxxas makes good stuff too but it’s great to see other brands do well. Keeps everyone pushing forward.
Everyone just sees all the fun you have. New rc cars everyday. No one sees the behind the scenes of what it takes between the time and monetary commitment. Keep doing what you are doing man!
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!
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!
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.
I have a lot of respect for you because of the rants I have seen or read in the last few days. You are a good guy, I hope to meet you in person one day!
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!
You are one of the people that got me Into RC's. Any time I go to buy a car I look to see if you have reviewed it. To be honest I am surrounded by Traxxas and I find that your reviews are generally spot on. Good, or bad. I got to meet you at the supershow briefly and you were cool as hell. Ignore the haters.
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.
Hy Mark, I am from Brazil, here everything on RC comes from EUA or China, lots of money, so much taxes (about 120%) , ro much time to receive.....so, decide what buy is hard, but you make it easier with all your hard work in shape of reviews and fun action. Thank you, buddy. Don't let lazy haters bring you down, good people are with you waiting for good and technical information from who knows about RC, you. God bless.
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.
I have always thought since i first found rc that, you had an unbiased positive attitude about any and all rc products. You give an honest opinion and I don't feel like I am watching a salesman. I feel like I am watching a guy who has alot of knowledge and is sharing it with us. Cheers and for every hater there is folks enjoying your content.
There’s always someone out there that won’t like what you’re doing or saying (hecklers suck). Keep doing what you’re doing because there’s a large amount of folks who enjoy the content you create.
I feel all of this as an RC creator in such a small niche (RC drifting) I don’t get sponsorship deals and 100% of my content is produced at a loss. The truth that I’m finding is that there is not enough volume of viewers for any of it to be monetarily profitable unlike full sized cars that have millions upon millions of content consumers. I’ve learned what I needed to learn with growing a small niche and now it’s time to grow with a wider market.
Mark you and I have never met in person. But you have helped me out with many rc questions thru your channel. Not only with rc problems but with helping others enjoy rc by referring them to your channel and relaying the rc knowledge I learned from you. Please keep up the good work.
I’m sorry you’re going through this bro! You’re a great content maker and you would have more people upset if you quit than you have haters. I appreciate you and Thank You!
I feel your pain, brother. My channel is a fraction of the size of yours and I experience many of the same comments. I don't think viewers realize how much effort (money, time, resources, time away from family, etc.) goes into making YT vids. I also operate at a loss, trying to build my channel up into something that can provide for my family, and certain viewers crap on me for it. You took the words right out of my mouth, man. Good job! You're speaking for the lot of us, not just MSM. Bravo!
@@Zeke_Salcido It sure does, man. I work 11 - 14 hours a day at this trying to get 3 videos out/week. I have no idea how Mark does it. He's constantly uploading great videos. I don't think he sleeps, lol!
Have always loved the content, I've watched you since my first traxxas car. Sorry to hear about all the negative comments lately, wouldn't be the same without a good rc video after a long day. Happy holidays Mark
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.
Hey man, I love your content because you are just so sincere about your love for the hobby. Traxxas gets a lot of hate but they make good stuff and just because you like it doesn’t mean you are a tool or paid lackey for them. Keep doing what you are doing and don’t be afraid to be successful by accepting some sponsorships. Just don’t change! Keep trucking sir!
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..
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 really love all of your videos. There super informative and helps out newbies like me a lot. Don’t worry about the haters. They are just upset with all of the fun you have. Thanks for the videos and keep em coming.
There’s always gonna be haters…let them be miserable…let their comments roll off like water off a duck’s butt…keep doing what you love…I enjoy your channel!
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.
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.
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.
I hardly ever comment but I couldn't stay silent watching this. Not our business what you make and no matter what you make good for you. Everyone is free to watch if you enjoy or buzz off if not, but it boggles my mind to know ppl actually say what they say. Keep up the good work and I don't think you have to justify anything. Those not happy and simply watch something else!
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.
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
The haters are always going to hate you count on that. But once you get through all BS you’ll find that they’re some decent human beings that enjoy and appreciate what you do. Keep pushing forward and continue making people smile in this hobby.
Mark please stop telling these haters about your bag! If you get paid or get free cars so what? They do that because you are good at making us give a damn about all these RC cars and of course “the hobby”! If people have a problem they can start a TH-cam, create and EDIT content and make it not look cringeworthy, they can do the same. Keep doing your thing bro, no receipts needed 😂
Mark, the best feeling in the world is when you get to the point in your life when you stop caring about what people think of you......keep up the great videos and oh by the way I've been in the hobby for 40 years and I like Traxxas too....
Most of us in the RC industry do it for the love of the hobby and not the money. I have realized the more haters you get that just means the greater your success. Keep up the good work, I get hit with the same thing at my shop and my answer is always I just stock what sales and there is a reason certain cars sale more than others.
Love your videos, keep doing what you do. I grew up on RC racing RC10s and JrX2. Just back into it a few years ago. I’m now 49, some people make fun and ask why I spend money on this hobby and think they are just toys. But they don’t understand about taking on something that makes you happy!
Hey mate! I just got into RC stuff almost a year ago and one of your videos inspired me to start making my own…granted, I have like 50 subscribers…that’s 50, not 50 million or 50 thousand…but 50! Haha either way, I just enjoy it and I’m grateful to have a full time job I enjoy but making videos and material is a lot of work and from what I’ve seen, your videos are proof of that. It’s not about just getting hits or subscribers. Your passion is in it as well as your knowledge and you’re passing it on so kudos to you! Enjoy what you’re doing and hope you keep staying true to what you’re passionate about. I see a lot of guys posting things like destroying their rigs just to get views and that’s not for me so keep up the great work man and I hope it all works out for you!
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 🔥
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.
I love your channel and thank you for doing the videos! My favorite is when you get excited and have to calm yourself down 😂. That’s how I feel with RC cars!
Mark, I find your videos enjoyable and informational. And look forward to what you put out next. Do not listen to people who are unable (lazy) to accomplish what you have over the years. I hope your able to keep it up and going strong, looking forward to what you put out next. Good luck brother.
Amen brother, people are delusional and do not understand how things like this work. THANK YOU FOR SHARING THIS AMAZING HOBBY THAT WE LOVE!!!! I started with a nitro rustler and now have a handful of Traxxas cars I really enjoy, nothing like your collection but that’s okay 😊
Do your thing and enjoy your life brother, you make killer content and you’re a great guy. Sell some rcs. Make money like every other TH-camr and never be shy to ask for help with travel and operating expenses. People forget they are watching your channel and others for free! Best of luck man! 💪🏻
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.
As a small channel with just over 1k subs im spending 2k a month for content and im not making any money from my vids ,the people that want it will work to get it ,you do you Mark we love creators like you and Kev,keep pushing brother ❤ sending love from Australia
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
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!
Even if you were paid by any company it’s nobody’s business I’ve gotten into rc’s because of your channel and watch every video you post even sometimes two-three times over so thank you for everything you do
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!
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!
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!
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.
Great video sir!!! let them know!!! I’m a fifth year-old adult and I knew you were doing it out of the love of the hobby and I really enjoy your videos and thank you for sharing your experience with me!!! you have the best background music and the best videos. Thank you for shuffling out your harder cash… always looking forward to your next video. Keep your head up there’s no telling where this could lead you!!!! hearts, and prayers to you and your family. God bless!
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!!
Don't think people realise how much work goes into videos, editing e.t.c, I'm only a small channel, burnt trying to grow so my outlays are huge with no income from TH-cam, I do it for the passion, I'm not always right or will agree on cars. Keep going MSM, great content 👍🏻
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

You guys are amazing in the rc industry

This is Billy with Traxxas. Just following up on the lost check in the mail we sent you. We are going to send your quarterly payment via certified mail next time. Sorry for the delay.
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!
Well
Said.
Couldn’t agree more! We’ve learned to just ignore any negativity, and just keep making videos for everyone because we love the hobby.
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.
YUP! Thank you!
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!
Same here. Got into it my last year in San Diego.

First off, people and companies see you as an RC Content Creator, not just a TH-camr. TH-cam is simply a platform you use to share your passion, and it’s frustrating to see anyone downplay that. Don’t waste your time with toxic voices who thrive on nitpicking flaws to drive traffic to their channels. Sure, Traxxas, like any company, has its flaws, but that doesn’t define the entire industry. Every RC brand has their strengths and weaknesses, just like every person does.
Now, let’s talk about your accomplishments this year, which have been nothing short of incredible:
-Back in March, you helped raise over $5,000 for the Childhood Cancer Foundation of Southern California.
-You helped bring over 26,000 people to the RC Supershow, up from just 4,500 in previous years. You dedicated two days to engaging with the RC community in California, all on your own time, without compensation.
-At the National Retail Hobby Store Association event, you were recognized as RC Content Creator of the Year in front of thousands of people, including all the major RC companies.
And that's just the tip of the iceberg. I could list hundreds more accomplishments, but I don’t want to make your head any bigger than mine. 😅
So, honestly, there’s no reason for you to rant. You’ve earned your place and then some.
I’m the one who’s allowed to rant. It’s 1:22 AM, the turkey still isn’t done, and our guests left hours ago... 🤦♂
Just know that I’ve got your back, and you should be proud of everything you’ve done this year. Keep doing what you do best!
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.
WELL SAID
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 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.
I have a lot of respect for you because of the rants I have seen or read in the last few days. You are a good guy, I hope to meet you in person one day!
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!
You are one of the people that got me Into RC's. Any time I go to buy a car I look to see if you have reviewed it. To be honest I am surrounded by Traxxas and I find that your reviews are generally spot on. Good, or bad. I got to meet you at the supershow briefly and you were cool as hell. Ignore the haters.
Most of us (myself included) appreciate all you do for the RC community
Keep keep in it real !!
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.
Hy Mark, I am from Brazil, here everything on RC comes from EUA or China, lots of money, so much taxes (about 120%) , ro much time to receive.....so, decide what buy is hard, but you make it easier with all your hard work in shape of reviews and fun action. Thank you, buddy. Don't let lazy haters bring you down, good people are with you waiting for good and technical information from who knows about RC, you. God bless.
Just want to say , I appreciate your strong work. I thoroughly enjoy watching and learning from you and the rest of the community.
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.
I have always thought since i first found rc that, you had an unbiased positive attitude about any and all rc products. You give an honest opinion and I don't feel like I am watching a salesman. I feel like I am watching a guy who has alot of knowledge and is sharing it with us. Cheers and for every hater there is folks enjoying your content.
There’s always someone out there that won’t like what you’re doing or saying (hecklers suck). Keep doing what you’re doing because there’s a large amount of folks who enjoy the content you create.
I feel all of this as an RC creator in such a small niche (RC drifting) I don’t get sponsorship deals and 100% of my content is produced at a loss. The truth that I’m finding is that there is not enough volume of viewers for any of it to be monetarily profitable unlike full sized cars that have millions upon millions of content consumers. I’ve learned what I needed to learn with growing a small niche and now it’s time to grow with a wider market.
Hates show that you’re doing something right!!! Please continue to do what you do! I look forward to your videos!
Mark you and I have never met in person. But you have helped me out with many rc questions thru your channel. Not only with rc problems but with helping others enjoy rc by referring them to your channel and relaying the rc knowledge I learned from you. Please keep up the good work.
I honestly wish you are paid by the manufacture or the cars. You deserve it bro! Keep up the hard work! Thanks for the great videos !!
lol ignore the guys that are throwing hate. Just keep doing what you love and making us all happy. You don't owe anyone an explanation.
I’m sorry you’re going through this bro! You’re a great content maker and you would have more people upset if you quit than you have haters. I appreciate you and Thank You!
I feel your pain, brother. My channel is a fraction of the size of yours and I experience many of the same comments. I don't think viewers realize how much effort (money, time, resources, time away from family, etc.) goes into making YT vids. I also operate at a loss, trying to build my channel up into something that can provide for my family, and certain viewers crap on me for it. You took the words right out of my mouth, man. Good job! You're speaking for the lot of us, not just MSM. Bravo!
I can consign in this poor boy.. folks just don’t get it but it does take A WHOLE LOT ….
@@Zeke_Salcido It sure does, man. I work 11 - 14 hours a day at this trying to get 3 videos out/week. I have no idea how Mark does it. He's constantly uploading great videos. I don't think he sleeps, lol!
Have always loved the content, I've watched you since my first traxxas car. Sorry to hear about all the negative comments lately, wouldn't be the same without a good rc video after a long day. Happy holidays Mark
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.
Jealousy is a tough emotion to overcome for many! It isn't your responsibility for them and how they react, they are! Thank you for what you do Mark!
Hey man, I love your content because you are just so sincere about your love for the hobby. Traxxas gets a lot of hate but they make good stuff and just because you like it doesn’t mean you are a tool or paid lackey for them. Keep doing what you are doing and don’t be afraid to be successful by accepting some sponsorships. Just don’t change! Keep trucking sir!
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..
Who does your editing?
I for one appreciate your enthusiasm. And I share your love for the sport, keep on trucking!!!!
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 really love all of your videos. There super informative and helps out newbies like me a lot. Don’t worry about the haters. They are just upset with all of the fun you have. Thanks for the videos and keep em coming.
There’s always gonna be haters…let them be miserable…let their comments roll off like water off a duck’s butt…keep doing what you love…I enjoy your channel!
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.
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.
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.
Hey man f-em, i enjoy your content,thanks for taking the time to do the channel!
I hardly ever comment but I couldn't stay silent watching this. Not our business what you make and no matter what you make good for you. Everyone is free to watch if you enjoy or buzz off if not, but it boggles my mind to know ppl actually say what they say. Keep up the good work and I don't think you have to justify anything. Those not happy and simply watch something else!
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.
Your channel, many other channels, all these haters are so nonsense!
Thanks for sharing your hobby, enjoying it and joining it!
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
The haters are always going to hate you count on that. But once you get through all BS you’ll find that they’re some decent human beings that enjoy and appreciate what you do. Keep pushing forward and continue making people smile in this hobby.
Mark please stop telling these haters about your bag! If you get paid or get free cars so what? They do that because you are good at making us give a damn about all these RC cars and of course “the hobby”! If people have a problem they can start a TH-cam, create and EDIT content and make it not look cringeworthy, they can do the same. Keep doing your thing bro, no receipts needed 😂
Mark, the best feeling in the world is when you get to the point in your life when you stop caring about what people think of you......keep up the great videos and oh by the way I've been in the hobby for 40 years and I like Traxxas too....
Most of us in the RC industry do it for the love of the hobby and not the money. I have realized the more haters you get that just means the greater your success. Keep up the good work, I get hit with the same thing at my shop and my answer is always I just stock what sales and there is a reason certain cars sale more than others.
Love your videos, keep doing what you do. I grew up on RC racing RC10s and JrX2. Just back into it a few years ago. I’m now 49, some people make fun and ask why I spend money on this hobby and think they are just toys. But they don’t understand about taking on something that makes you happy!
You do a great job don’t let the haters bring you down. Jealousy and envy are always out there.
Anything you get for free or discounted is well deserved for the work you put in. Haters are gonna hate .......
Hey mate! I just got into RC stuff almost a year ago and one of your videos inspired me to start making my own…granted, I have like 50 subscribers…that’s 50, not 50 million or 50 thousand…but 50!
Haha either way, I just enjoy it and I’m grateful to have a full time job I enjoy but making videos and material is a lot of work and from what I’ve seen, your videos are proof of that. It’s not about just getting hits or subscribers. Your passion is in it as well as your knowledge and you’re passing it on so kudos to you! Enjoy what you’re doing and hope you keep staying true to what you’re passionate about.
I see a lot of guys posting things like destroying their rigs just to get views and that’s not for me so keep up the great work man and I hope it all works out for you!
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 🔥
Who cares what people think!!!! You keep doing what you’re doing !! You’re great!!! Your real fans appreciate it!
afterdark mark is lowkey more entertaining than family friendly mark🤣that's why i like this channel
Thank you!
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.
I love your channel and thank you for doing the videos! My favorite is when you get excited and have to calm yourself down 😂. That’s how I feel with RC cars!
Jealousy is ugly ! Don't let the haters get to you ! Keep up the great vids and best of luck.
Mark, I find your videos enjoyable and informational. And look forward to what you put out next. Do not listen to people who are unable (lazy) to accomplish what you have over the years. I hope your able to keep it up and going strong, looking forward to what you put out next. Good luck brother.
Amen brother, people are delusional and do not understand how things like this work. THANK YOU FOR SHARING THIS AMAZING HOBBY THAT WE LOVE!!!!
I started with a nitro rustler and now have a handful of Traxxas cars I really enjoy, nothing like your collection but that’s okay 😊
Do your thing and enjoy your life brother, you make killer content and you’re a great guy. Sell some rcs. Make money like every other TH-camr and never be shy to ask for help with travel and operating expenses. People forget they are watching your channel and others for free! Best of luck man! 💪🏻
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.
As a small channel with just over 1k subs im spending 2k a month for content and im not making any money from my vids ,the people that want it will work to get it ,you do you Mark we love creators like you and Kev,keep pushing brother ❤ sending love from Australia
Just subscribed to your channel. Thanks for trying to grow the hobby here in Australia mate
Your videos helped me discover this hobby which I absolutely love so for that I thank you for all you do for the hobby!
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
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!
Haters will be haters. It's none of anyone's business if you're a paid endorser of any brand. Keep up the great work.
Even if you were paid by any company it’s nobody’s business I’ve gotten into rc’s because of your channel and watch every video you post even sometimes two-three times over so thank you for everything you do
Appreciate what you do! Love watching the channel and the content you and most TH-camrs of this hobby provide. Thank you.
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!
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!
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!
I look for your post before anyone else your not yelling into the camera nor are your vids shaky you are very professional thanks 😊
They hate you because they aint you. Keep up the good work mate
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.
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
Don’t pay attention to the negative comments! You have great content and I have learned a lot.
Thanks!
Great video sir!!! let them know!!! I’m a fifth year-old adult and I knew you were doing it out of the love of the hobby and I really enjoy your videos and thank you for sharing your experience with me!!! you have the best background music and the best videos. Thank you for shuffling out your harder cash… always looking forward to your next video. Keep your head up there’s no telling where this could lead you!!!! hearts, and prayers to you and your family. God bless!
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!!
Don't think people realise how much work goes into videos, editing e.t.c, I'm only a small channel, burnt trying to grow so my outlays are huge with no income from TH-cam, I do it for the passion, I'm not always right or will agree on cars. Keep going MSM, great content 👍🏻
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.
I bought an xmaxx because of you and Kevintalbot. Keep doing you mark I need more traxxas content
