I am getting to the point where I am going to be able to relax. Almost all the "making" is done and I will be ordering the new HVAC system early next week. After that I can focus more on the fun and relaxing side of things I hope. I will be ripping out the old HVAC system but right now that might be therapeutic and certainly something different! LOL! Thanks as always for the support and take care! Merry Christmas!
Hi there Addam! Thanks for the update, I think you need to give yourself a well deserved break over Christmas and New Year! So many videos and so much effort you've put in. It's massively appreciated especially as I know what it takes! I hope you get that heater sorted sooner than later! Wishing you and yours a great weekend my friend! 😎👊👍
Thanks Mark! I hope to get the run footage with Al edited up tonight when we get back from the family get together. Then tomorrow is planned to be an RC day so that will give me a couple weeks breathing room for videos, at least that is the plan! Then I can focus on ordering the new HVAC system and removing the old one before it arrives. Once all that is replaced then it will be back to business as normal (I surely hope). I am doing my best to balance everything, this time of year is always a bit rough between Thanksgiving and Christmas as we lost a lot of good folks in my life in that timeframe over the years. But lots of great memories as well so I try and focus on that part! 10 more days and I can kick back, drink some eggnog, eat too much and enjoy the Holiday! LOL! Take care Mark and have a wonderful weekend!
Thanks for the update. We all get busy and your channel will not suffer taking some time off. I've not posted in over a week. Just too busy and the weather sucks
Yeah, I have been playing elf over here making stuff for Christmas goodies. Gave out some tonight and they went over very well so that made it all worth it! We had a great time at my wife's side of the family Christmas get together today and I am still stuffed from it! Good food and lots of laughs! I am not too worried about the channel taking a hit, I just feel like I need to get out at least one video a week (silly personal deadlines). I will be editing up all the run footage from Al coming over and hanging out. That will get a couple videos done and then I am going to sit down and get that 956 done tomorrow no matter what! LOL! I want to do the Hornet and need that 956 done so I can start on it. I have just been frustrated with the whole stupid overpriced repairs on the heat in the garage. Just makes me mad they want 2/3 of an entire new system price for one part and installation! So I am going to order the new unit early next week and start ripping out the old one. I can get the new unit around the 1st of the year and the parts would not be in until sometime in February and may not be installed until March! By then it will be warming up again! LOL! Here I go rambling one again! Thanks as always for the kind words Ryan, Merry Christmas to you and your family bud!
@@AddamsPlayground I get it man!! Life priorities!! The repairs for the heat sucks!! I'm planning on buying a Midnight Edition Lunchbox and I'm going to go with an orange and black scheme. I hope it works out.
Wow... I am pleased to see that you have the Porsche project started! Thank you for "checking-in", always great to hear from you. We all understand that "life happens." Thank you again for your effort
Thank you as always for the kind words! I just feel bad when I cannot get the videos out on time. I know it is my own arbitrary timeline but still! I am going to finish the 956 tomorrow no matter what, even if I have to slap some Red Bull decals on it and completely change the look of it! LOL! Take care and wishing you a very Merry Christmas!
Thanks! I wanted to get some of the footage from your visit edited up but have not gotten to it yet. I plan on doing some this evening but I am still full and sleepy from out family get together today so I have not managed to move from the couch since we got home LOL! I hope you are having a great time visiting your family as well! Take care and enjoy your weekend!!!
Sometimes in life, we don’t get everything we want all at once. Just when we think everything is finally in place, we find ourselves having to postpone things due to circumstances beyond our control. But the most important thing, as everyone says, is to cherish the beautiful moments we share with our family. Wishing you and your loved ones a Merry Christmas!
Very true! We had a great day with my wife's side of the family for their Christmas get together and it was fun hanging out with all of them. Good food, good laughs and memories made! We have our friends Christmas coming up before then our Christmas day and then my side of the family get together right afterwards so it is going to be a good couple weeks, busy but I think we are prepared for it all (mostly, I think!). I just feel bad when I am slacking on the content so felt like I needed to make an appearance! Thanks for the kind words and I hope you and your family all have a very Merry Christmas as well!
It’s a tough time of year to squeeze everything in! With Christmas preparations, family, etc… Congratulations on your four year anniversary!🎉 Your channel’s done real well!👍😊 Those hvac guys have got you by the short hairs!😬
Yeah, it is always busy, that additional stress of the HVAC has not improved the normal levels at all! We will be ordering the new system next week and hopefully sometime around new year I will be putting all that in. I refuse to pay 2/3 of a new system price for one part! Plus I get a new warranty cycle on the new system and can add HVAC install to my list of jack of all trades list! 4 years has flown by and I could not be happier with the results. Numbers aside (only metrics I have to work with) I have met a ton of wonderful folks like yourself from all over the world that I love talking to and can call friends! So numbers, time and stress of it is all trivial when I look at that! Take care Jeremy and have a great weekend!
Thanks for the update Addam. Time's the most value thing we have. Once it's gone, we cannot bring it back. Looking forward for the things to come. Have a great weekend Addam.
Very true, I am trying to balance everything but YT is one thing I can skip to make time for others. I hate doing it but have had to focus on other things. I do plan on spending the day tomorrow doing fun stuff so hopefully I get a bunch accomplished! I am taking everything as it comes and seems like installing a HVAC system is going to be part of my new years plans! LOL! I hope your card gets to you before Christmas but it is one the way! Have a great weekend Dirk!
Thanks! It has flown by, it doesn't feel like it has been 4 years. I have some of the run footage edited and will be working on more of it to get a video ready for Wednesday! Take care and have a great week!
I got my Hornet EVO recently. Building it now. I have a Tamiya Super Stock RZ motor for it. A 23 turn. Vary strong magnets. Can't wait to see how it runs. Have a Vary Merry Christmas Family and all. Congratulations.
Oh, that should be a real ripper! From what I have seen so far they are great driving buggy with a good bit of understeer. I think the light front end and those grip-less smoothie tires are the turning issue. It defintely looks like a lot of fun and it is a very cool idea from them to revamp the classic! Wishing you and yours a very merry Christmas as well!
Thank you, and the same to you! I am editing it up tonight, hopefully some of it will be ready to post by Wednesday. It has been really busy and my head has been spinning going from one thing to the next. Looking forward to it slowing down some and taking a break around Christmas time!
That sux. Understand hvac issues. I live near Houston and lost our 20 year old ac. $12000 later at the end of august hottest part of year finally got a new system. Thanks for always keeping up with posts and awesome videos as always!!!!! Great stats!!!! Congratulations 🎊🎉🎈
Oh wow, Yeah you got me beat! That had to have been rough. I would not be as annoyed if it were a reasonable price, not 2/3 of the price of an entire system. I just don't understand how on part and replacement labor costs close to the same price as an entire ready to install system! Also the 5 to6 week lead time to get the part and then they won't schedule the install unitl it shows up so that adds another 2 to 3 weeks on top of it. It will be warming back up before they even show up to repair it! So I am ordering the system early next week and starting to remove the old system out of there as it only take 2 weeks to get the new system! Just seems wasteful and wrong. Anyways, Thanks for watching and checking in! Wishing you and your family a very merry Christmas!

Oh man! That is rough! The part that rubs me the wrong way is the part replacement is 2/3 the cost of entire DIY system that I can get 4 to 6 weeks quicker! If it were a reasonable price and timeframe then it would be just another bill to pay but this just seems so unreasonable and stupid. So the new system will be ordered and I will start ripping out the old system while waiting for the new stuff to arrive! Thanks for the support and more fun stuff to come very soon! Take care and have a great weekend and a Merry Christmas!
Thanks! The Christmas Story and Christmas Vacation are my top two for sure! I have watched both several times already this year and once each since Thanksgiving. Take care and enjoy your weekend too!
Nice one, Addam! I just watched Mark Bryan build a nice DF-01 chassis, and you slap a dirty run one up on the bench, pure joy! Great to hear you had Al over, I can imagine the laughs in your little forest area, the elves and gnomes must have loved him there, he he! Yeah, that stuff with a heat pump and all those energy draining things, they always get us down this time of year, I know I am completely attempting to do RC stuff almost every day and almost every day I fail to do so, just stuff happening, ha ha! It's okay, it'll be spring again, at some point, ha ha! Have a good one there, buddy!
Yeah the Manta Ray is a mess! So was bench after bringing it out to show you guys, had a brief recording pause to clean up all the dirt that fell off of it! It was a fun day with him over. We did quite a bit of chatting and laughing while out there! I will be working on starting to edit all that footage this evening when I get home from our Christmas get together. The whole heat thing really sucks! I had a buddy come over and fill it with freon and got it up running. went out the next morning and the entire upstairs was a foggy mess from it leaking out. I had to air it out and shut everything down. I have to order the new system and it will be a couple weeks before it arrives so I will try and get a bunch of stuff recorded as when it arrives I will be installing all of it myself. The 956 has been quite an opponent, I enjoyed the build of it but the stickers I have not wanted to do at all! I will get it done before the Evo build as it is my goal to not leave any more of them sitting around unfinished like the RC10T still is and Lazer I need to get the parts on! Hopefully my focus will get more focus soon!!! Take care Mads and have a great weekend!
Stressmas busiest time of the year life gets hectic for weeks to shut down for a couple of days when life is that busy it's hard to get motivated or even get your mind into thinking about vids when all you can think of is the to do list don't push yourself mate take care 👊
LOL! Merry Stressmas! I am doing my best to keep everything balanced! The repair bill was laughable and I will be installing a new system around new years it seems. Doesn't make sense to spend 2/3 of the new system price on a part repair when I get a new system with a new warranty for 1/3 more. I can also get that whole package in a couple weeks versus couple months, plus I get to add HVAC install to my resume! LOL! Take care Mark, hope the shoulder is still improving and that you have a great weekend!
Never mind the shambles, I always appreciate your rambles. Merry Christmas and happy and safe New year to you and your family! Fresh start for all in 2025.
LOL! I am trying to not let it get me down! That repair bill got me bent though, buying the whole new system and installing it myself seems to be the way to go, I reset a new new warranty on it all as well! I will be editing tonight when I get home and wrapping up the 956 and starting the Hornet tomorrow, tomorrow is going to be an RC day if I have to pack it up and go to the neighbors house to work on it there! LOL! Merry Christmas to you and you family as well and I hope 2025 will be another good year for all!
LOL! It is a very happy one then, poor thing is caked in it! I think things should start winding down soon. I am getting caught up. I got the 956 wrapped up yesterday and the Hornet build started so that was a relief and fun. Tearing out the old HVAC stuff and replacing it doesn't sound fun but for the money I'd rather replace the system than the one part! I have a couple weeks before it shows up so I can pace myself doing all of that work. It is always something coming up but there have been a lot of somethings lately that got me behind and I hate not getting the videos done!
@@Okpaintguy2 I know it is busy for everyone this time of year. Think I got really bummed/annoyed with the whole HVAC mess. I had just replaced my compressor out there as my other decided to get a pinhole in the tank. So that was an unwelcome expense and then the mini split thing was a really pricey and unwelcome thing as well. Will be replacing the whole system once it arrives some time around new years!
Thanks for the update Addam! Hope you have a great family Christmas get together!! It is hard to get everything together at this time of year let alone slapping together some TH-cam content!! Keep doing the awesome stuff you do amigo 🙌🏻
Thanks Craig! I tried to be prepared this year and still got behind! LOL! That whole HVAC stuff really frustrated but just gonna have to fix it myself and learn something new in the process! I saw you all got out and were enjoying the season recently! I look forward to hanging out with family today and then taking some time tomorrow to get the 956 wrapped up and the Evo started! I'll be starting on the video editing tonight of all the footage from Al's visit as well. Take care and wishing you and the family a very Merry Christmas!
Very true, I am not in the fight alone, I know that! That HVAC mess really got me miffed but I just gotta pick a plan and move on with it. Not a today problem so I am going to enjoy family today and try and have an RC day tomorrow and pick back up with the stress on Monday like it is meant to be LOL! Take care and have a great weekend!
You are very welcome and I am glad Meredith enjoyed it too! I barely got them out this year! I am going to have to start preparing for the holidays a lot earlier next year as time seems to be speeding up every year!! LOL! Merry Christmas to you and the crew! Have a great weekend my friend!
Hey Adam! I’ve been watching a lot of your videos and just wanted to say thank you! I don’t usually comment but I’m younger (in my 20s) and I don’t see a lot of kit videos and sadly not a lot of people my age building rc kits and stuff. I love the creativity and the different take on these! Every year for Christmas I buy my dad and I matching Kits to assemble together and the couple months they sit at my house before Christmas and I’m itching to open them but can’t yet, I love watching your build content on those specific kits and I’m constantly finding new inspiration for the next one. Thanks for the entertainment and the personal feel to the channel that many just dont have. Merry Christmas!
Thank you very much for the kind words! I am glad you are enjoying the videos and feel free to chime in on any of them, I do my very best to respond to everyone even on the older videos. I love the fun Christmas tradition you have going on over there, that sounds super fun! Sadly my dad has a less than zero percent interest in them. I show him a new build and he looks at me like I am in need of therapy (he's probably right)! LOL! It is really cool you and your dad get to experience a new kit every year and you are almost there, just a few more days!!! Thanks for sharing the great story with me! I will keep being a bad influence and making lots more videos for you to enjoy, get some inspiration from and probably end up buying too many toys! LOL! Take care and I wish you and your family a very merry Christmas!! Feel free to email some pics of this years builds once they are done or message me on Instagram with them, I'd love to see them!
@ Thanks for the nice response and I’m glad the videos will keep coming! My dad’s only small issue with the kit world is he likes the more basher friendly trucks. We have Arrmas to beat on and some other stuff, we’ve done tt02 kits, clods, a vanquish crawler, and this year is the turbo scorpion. Do you have any recommendations for kits that are fairly stout for some more aggressive driving? I can’t afford $500 a piece Teknos and don’t need anything quite that intense. But a kit that would handle decent, take some jumps, and the occasional crash at the local track would be great! The older designs are just not quite as stout or they are too pretty to run hard haha
@@toddsmith2632 The Kyosho kits all have been upgrade to handle brushless power so the driveline will hold up no problem. It does not say to in the kit but thread lock the screw going into the counter gear shaft in the transmission (small gear in between the spur and the motor). If it is pre-installed then remove it and thread lock it! I had one that was pre-installed come loose and I can very close to destroying t gears in there! The only real weekend of them is the chassis rails can get bent in hard crashes. Those are usually in stock as they are ones that need replacing the most. They are geared higher then Tamiya kits so you need less motor to go fast. A good 19turn brushed or 3000kv brushless will get them moving nicely! My other word of advice is if something is not fitting properly, you goofed up. These snap together perfectly and if you having to force something it is not a error in the kit but something is not assembled right in a previous step. Have fun with them!!
Last Here I thought I was having a bad day and you talk about a $2,200 repair and waiting 6 weeks for a part holy crap How did you get on the Christmas card list Thank you for the video
Yeah that whole HVAC mess has me pretty steamed. Of course it had a 5 year warrant and is 6 years old as well. I'll be spending the 3K and doing it all with brand new stuff and getting it all done before they can even get the part. I have a card for you already, I had to get more stamps so it will be going out today. Thanks for checking it out and listening to be vent and ramble on! Take care and have a great weekend!
Great update Addam…your comment about canada post totally cracked me up!!! lol - it’s nuts! I have an EVO tied up in that system somewhere…gave up trying to get a video out before Christmas…it ain’t arriv’n any time soon :( - You’re one of my absolute favourite channels to watch…you’re just a down to earth real guy. Don’t get me started on costs…the pricing on stuff now isn’t even reasonable…I think they just pick a number out of the sky and hope you buy it. Look forward to seeing your track runs with Al! (End of run on thoughts)
Hey there Freddy! It really sucks about the postal strike and it has to be frustrating for all you guys! I know a lot of folks are waiting for things that are piling up and may be months and months before they are able to get around to delivering. I wanted to send you all cards but there was no point in you getting a Christmas card in June! Thank you for the kind words my friend, what you see is what you get, I don't sugar coat anything and give it to you guys just like your are sitting here with me. I get the happy perky thing makes for better video views but I am just a guy with the same problem most everyone else has, I just have poor spending habits and record it all for you guys to watch! LOL! Joking aside I appreciate it! The HVAC issue have been stressing my out and that total they gave me the other day was laughable! also the 6 week lead time was stupid, it will be warming up by the time they get the part! I was expecting around a $1000 for parts and labor, but 2200 for it was outrageous and of course it had a 5 year warranty on a 6 year old part... didn't see that coming! The kicker is the entire system (ENTIRE) is 3100 ready to install myself that comes with a new 5 year warranty so it seems I will be adding HVAC installer to me resume soon. I can get the system in about 2 weeks versus the 6-8 for the repairs as well. Sucks I have to pay more but seems silly not to! I will be working on the footage from Al's visit tonight when I get home so those should up next week! Take care and wishing you all the best this Christmas!
Thank your, same to you as well! Al and I both ran the Manta Ray, I did let him run it a lot longer, and we both had a good time getting it disgusting! The tracks was just on the wetter side of perfect for running it out there, it was carving the corners well!
Cheers for the update and know exactly how you are feeling about lack of time etc etc. As for the AC system and being in the trade it is a silly thing that its cheaper to buy complete systems than major parts. We condemn so many systems just because of the repair costs. its bonkers!
Yeah it has been a juggle lately but still have my head above water so it is fine! That whole HVAC thing really got me bent! 2200 for one part with a 6 week lead time on the part so 2 months before any repairs, it will be warming back up by then!! To be able to go buy a new system with a warranty on it for not much more seems like a no brainer. I can also get that whole package in a couple weeks versus couple months. Plus I get to add HVAC install to my resume! LOL! It could be far worse and I get to learn something new, still a hassle though! Take care Glenn and have a great weekend!
@@martinhsrc6699 Merry Christmas to you as well Martin! I ordered the new system yesterday and it will be here in a couple weeks. I think I may get lucky and find at least one new RC under the tree, it is kind of all my wife knows to get me now! 😂 Take care and I hope Santa finds a cool kit in his bag for you as well!
It's a busy time of year. I haven't worked on any projects in a while. It's too cold to run RCs or paint bodies. After the holidays I go into hibernation like a bear. I'll probably start working on builds again soon but for now it's happy holidays! Congratulations on your YT anniversary!
I would love to curl into a cozy spot for a month or so! That sounds amazing!! I know what would happen, One quick nap and I would wake up all fidgety and restless and end up getting into something anyways so no point trying! LOL! Once the holiday hustle and the HVAC issues are done I am hoping I can settle into a nice spot of building and refurbishing a lot of the project on hand. Enjoy your downtime and I hope you have a terrific holiday season!!
Wow impressive stats Addam 😊 well done dude.. sounds like you’ve got a lot on buddy don’t worry about not putting out vids it’s a busy time with crimbo round the corner 😊 look forward to your hornet evo build 😃👍have a great weekend buddy.. Pete
Hey Pete! It just sucks I have not had the time or energy for it lately. I enjoy doing it but it is the sacrificial thing I have to do from time to time when things get backed up and I am stressed. Once all this heat mess is behind me I will be in a lot better shape. We have to get in and get the system ordered, then two weeks to get it and then install it all. So I have about 2 weeks or so to get a some stuff recorded and edited so I can focus on getting all that stuff installed when it gets here. I am looking forward to the Evo build but have to get the 956 done first. If I don't it will stay like that until spring! LOL! Take care and enjoy your weekend as well my friend!
Hey Addam, a great update and loved the rambling ! I sure know how busy you’ve been and making videos for YT as well…just eats into sleeping time 😂😊😂 sorry about the heater system in your garage, and hey man! Being a loss adjuster and scoping repairs, I know that to source, supply and fit parts can take as much money as buying a new product! See it time and time again, when I am negotiating settlements for home claims 😂😊😂. Thinking perhaps a well earned break over the Christmas time, recharge a little bit 😊😊might just be what you need 😊😊best wishes and a Merry Christmas to you and the family 😉🙏😎🎂
Hey there John! Yeah the HVAC thing really got me miffed but we will be ordering the new system next week and hopefully sometime around new year I will be putting all that in. I refuse to pay 2/3 of a new system price for one part! Plus I get a new warranty cycle on the new system and can add HVAC install to my list of jack of all trades list! In the time it takes to get here I will be working on ripping out the old system. Seems like such a waste but makes more sense in the long run as I get a whole new warranty and all new stuff this way, not stressing on something else breaking in the other unit! I am doing pretty well juggling things but have gotten behind on the YT stuff. I plan on editing up the footage from Al's visit tonight when we get back home and then tomorrow should be a fun day in the basement working on RCs. Things will even out soon enough and other than the kick in the crotch from the AC stuff I have done well! LOL! Wishing you and your family a very Merry Christmas and happy new years to you all! Have a great weekend my friend!
You started the terrible stickers work on 956!! I like the background changing colors...I know that subscribers are way less than viewers but this means that we have subs from really interested people and this I like. CIAO!
I got all the sticker done today, it took quite some time to get them all on there but it is finally done! Now I need a warm enough and dry day to take it out for a run around a parking lot! I know there will always be a lot more viewers than subscribers! I am very happy with the wonderful group of folks I talk to all the time! Take care Nanni and have a terrific week ahead!
Thanks! I did most of that, got the 956 wrapped up and started on the Hornet, I did however ignore the dirty cars for another day! The Hornet build is pretty interesting, lots of new parts to get everything to work!
Yeah, I was a little bummed about the delay but in all honestly I was not going to touch it until maybe Sunday at the earliest anyway so it worked out fine. I do think it is funny they cannot seem to organize a release of their kits at all, it is always one country or another that seems to get things about 3 to 4 weeks ahead of the rest of the world! LOL! Yeah the HVAC stuff blew my mind, 2200 for just the coil replacement and a 6 week lead time on the part or order a completely new system and get it in about 2 weeks for 3100... how does that even makes sense!?!?! I am going with the whole new system and adding HVAC install to my resume it seems! LOL!
@AddamsPlayground I would to might as well have all new i have base boards and pellet stoves myself its a interesting combo but seems to be effective and effective on the wallet to
@@AdventureTimeRC If it were just heat I would go with a wood stove but most of the concern is in the summer. It stays so humid here that I want to protect the tools I have downstairs and all the RCs and other stuff I have stored upstairs I need the AC part. The stupid thing is built so I cannot even cap off the one unit and run the other one. The tech said it has to have at least two units running on it to function properly! Just gonna rip out the problem and start over with a new warranty that will expire before anything breaks and hope for the best LOL!!!
Its good to take a bit of time out, thats some good results for the channel 👍 i’ll be having a nice easy christmas, busy working all the way up til 1630 xmas eve 😭 then its feet up, open the snacks and chill 😎
I am trying to get everything wrapped up so i can enjoy the time around Christmas. I have gotten a bunch done so I am one the downhill side of things! We had a great day today with my wife's side of the family and then we have our friends get together, Christmas and then my side all in the same week so I am hoping to be able to chill and enjoy the heck out of all that! Sorry you are working pretty much up to the last minute, are you an elf?!?! LOL! I do hope Santa brings you some cool toys and enjoy the snacks and chill time! Have a very Merry Christmas!
@ i dont mind it to much, it could be worse and i could be working over christmass. I’ll be away the 28th for the tamiya junkies meet, thats about it really 😎
Congratulations on the 4 year anniversary Addam! You're one of the hardest working in the game mate. I do hope that you can manage to take some time out over Christmas to spend with family ,and recharge your batteries! (you deserve it!) I think that we can all relate to what you are saying 100%. Its a very busy,and stressful time of the year.....and we are forced to reduce hobby and TH-cam time drastically. Its now the 18th of December,and I've not even had time to buy one present,or write one card yet...... Working every day until 9pm Christmas eve as well,panic is now well and truly setting in!😅 Those channel analytics are just like ours regarding the subscribers V non subscribers .....i fail to understand why people who regularly watch content dont hit that sub button??🤔 I don't think many of them realise the amount of time and effort that goes into a channel like yours,they get to watch all this great regular content totally for free......the least they can do is take 3 seconds to subscribe! 🙄 Im actually loving the changing colour backdrop,very psychedelic.😅 As for the Manta Ray,that dirt tells a story of fun.....nothing wrong with a bit of dirt on a runner,if you clean it up then your less likely to run it again any time soon trust me! 😉 Wishing you and the family a very happy Christmas man,and a huge thanks for all the superb content that you have given us throughout 2024! 🙏 🎄 🤶 😊👍 👍
Thanks James! I appreciate it. Think I just got worn down a bit and frustrated with the whole HVAC thing as well. I had just replaced my compressor out there right after Thanksgiving as the 6 year old one decided to get a pinhole in the tank and replacing the tank was a much as buying a new one. Getting tired of everything having a 5-6 year lifespan and made to replaced and not repaired, so wasteful. Things have slowed down some and the purchases have been made so I'm trying to wind it down and get ready to take a Christmas break. My wife is off next week so I will be doing stuff with her, baking cookies and watching Christmas movies on the top of the to-do list next week! LOL! I'm sorry you are stuck working so much but I am sure the nasty weather has gotten everything a bit backed up over there lately. The subscriber thing is always going to skewed, not everyone logs in to watch videos and comment so they can't sub or like videos either. Others, I guess they watch whatever the algorithm feeds them and they see what they see. I stopped trying to figure out the numbers a year or more ago, I just report on them now LOL! I got way to stressed out trying to figure out what worked and what didn't. 4 years in and I am still shocked all the time on video performance. I can spend hours and hours editing up a video and it kind of tanks and I can record one, edit and upload it in under an hours and I get 2-3 times views and subscribers from it... I just put them out now and what happens, makes it a lot easier to not worry about it! I hope you get some time to get some shopping squeezed into your schedule and that you have a very Merry Christmas! Best wishes to you and the crew!!
Totally agree mate,we grew up in the eighties where things were designed to last, and be repairable. Yes, things were more expensive.... but they would always last 20+ years at least! And thats the exact reason why I never by a car produced after 1999,i still play my records on technics 1210 turntables, and I garden with my grandads old gardening tools and a 50 year old briggs and Stratton lawn mower!! 😂 Unfortunately things are designed in obsolesence these days- I always remember my dad telling me about how Ford used to pay engineers to design rust traps in their cars that would bubble up just after the three year paint warranty would run out! It's ludicrous how disposable everything has become in modern life. Electronic devices are the worst, programmed to fry control boards after X amount of hours usage..... Just to get more money out of the consumer. You've only got to look at our own hobby to see how well the old eighties transmitters, servos chargers and brushed motors have survived, most still working perfectly fine 40+ years on...... I doubt the same will stand with all the modern stuff! Crikey, you set me off on a rant there mate! 😅 Glad to hear that you will be getting some quality time off with the family..... Just promise me that you won't be watching our Christmas movie with the wife!!! 😮💩 As for me, I only ever take Christmas and boxing day off.... As I sole trader with 250 monthly jobs to get through I really have to keep going! Also, it keeps me out of mischief (sort of)! 😂 I need to be kept busy, and if I don't work, I don't earn, then can't pay my bills! Mad rush over the next few days, but I will get there! Have a good one mate. 😊👍 👍
I am looking forward to building and driving it. Not looking forward to the rest of the decals on the 956 to get it off the bench so I can start on the Evo though. I really need to never buy another race livery car again, entirely too many stickers!! I think this has like 150 or something around that.. silly!
@@BSslotcars yeah the eyes are not as good as they once were and all the thin window trim and other details are tedious! the race liveries are always a chore, they look great when done but take forever!
Dude I'm jealous of all those damn trucks on your shelves! Lol with I could review trucks. Just not enough youtube subs and content for it. I'm a drone guy, bit these trucks have gotten crazy addicting...I build my own fpv drones, so working on these trucks has been interesting. Love your channel bro, keep doing you!
LOL, all it takes is perseverance and a lot of unhealthy spending!!! Heavy on the unhealthy spending part... The ground stuff is where I have always been into, I have the one Holy Stone drone and it is the only thing I can successfully fly! Everything else has ended suddenly and dramatically! I get dyslexic in the air with the controls and it has never worked out. The ground stuff I am better with, still crash but they don't tend to fall out of control as much LOL! I am glad you are enjoying the channel. Start working some of the less expensive kits into your channel and maybe you will get a bit more traction in our ground based world! Take care and have a great weekend!
All ramblings accepted 👍 Looking forward to seeing how you get on with the Hornet Evo build and dont forget to check the rear wheel axles to make sure they're not bent as they could be a Tamiya design flaw 🤔🤔🤔 Are you sticking with the original black or going slightly non-box-art? You could go totally opposite and paint it white with the matching wheels and the decals would really stand out from the crowd 👍👍👍 Thankyou for your update Addam 🤘
Thanks Peter, I am glad as it is all I had this week LOL! I had been ahead of schedule for a while and recently caught up to the stuff I had recorded and just did not get any time down at the workbench this week! Sunday I plan on getting down there and tackling all those decals on the 956 and winning that battle! LOL! Then onto the Evo, I think I am going to it black, maybe with some sparkles in it. Although white hot may be a cool option as well... I will have to ponder that idea today as it sounds kind of interesting! Take care Peter and have a great weekend! Did my tools I had sent show up there yet?
@AddamsPlayground A-Ha, so you are the culprit 😆😆😆 Yes my friend, they did turn up and I was absolutely flabbergasted when I opened up the package. I thought to myself, who would send me some Top Notch Quality items like these? What had I done to receive such wonderful gifts from a very special person? I shall definitely be putting those tools to good use when I build the next project after my G6-01 Conversion. I shall give you a preview of what's in store for the masses to watch 😆😝🤣 I must say a Massive Thank You Addam for the accessories that you sent me. They are very much appreciated 👍👍👍
@@cw-01creations46 You are very welcome! You have done so much giving and I cringed at seeing the nippers used to hold the shock shaft (I have done it in the past though!) so it was a fitting gift to a great guy! LOL! Enjoy them and thank you for the cool preview!
Sometimes a good ol' rumble it's just what you need it's good to see you behind the screen no matter what it is big or small 😂 haha Have a good weekend buddy best regards
Thanks, I appreciate you guys. I feel bad for not getting the videos out on time. I know it is my own arbitrary timeline but still! We had a great day with my wife's side of the family for our Christmas get together and then we have a friends gathering, then Christmas and then my side of the family right afterwards so I am just trying to get everything set up for all that to be able to coast through it all and enjoy it! Take care my friend and wishing you a very Christmas!
@AddamsPlayground Addam please don't be sorry when content is as good as yours people will wait and appreciate it 😏 Always family first and your wellbeing then everyone else after 🙂
Out of all the you tube R/C guys i watch and follow you are by far the one i enjoy the most. You make videos that are just real and down to earth. And you also make me wanna buy more cars dammit! But serious i really thank you for your time and the time you take to answer my questions. Means a lot to me and im sure everyone else on here. So here's my question for you today. Where did you get the GPS that you use on your phone for the speed runs and stuff you do? I got that Milan one that you showed a few times and it really doesn't work at all. But ive seen the one you have on a bunch of videos and would really like it. Thanks again Addam and in case you dont post anything before Christmas have a great Christmas and Happy New Year. Dave
Thanks Dave, I truly appreciate that and that is a really big compliment! What you see is what you get, nothing differnt than me in real life expect more of a filter on YT, I keep the colorful language to a minimum on here but have less of a filter in person! LOL! I am more than happy to help out and answer question when I can. Some things I don't know the answers to but those that I do or at least have experience in I will always offer help. For the GPS I use the SkyRC GNSS Performance Analyzer Bluetooth GPS Speed Meter & Data Logger. It works with Android and Fruit phones (Apple). Much more accurate and you can tuck it safely inside the car to keep it from getting beat up. It is quite a bit more expensive but since I was doing more and more speed run challenges it was well worth it to have the phone app and be able to screen shot and keep record of the runs. I will have more videos coming, no worries on that. I am part way through editing the run footage and just wrapped up the 956 today and started the Hornet Evo so more fun stuff is coming up! I do plan on doing some sort of Christmas video as well before the big day! Take care and I wish you and your family and very Merry Christmas!!!
Thanks! I am going to try my best! The late November through mid December has a lot of speed bumps in it for us, lost a lot of great people in the span over the years plus the holidays hustle and the HVAC stuff has got me stressed so just a lot of things going on. Doing what I can when I can and doing my very best to stay in a good mood and enjoy the time of year. The Christmas music is helping, my holy jolly therapy! LOL! Take care and I hope you have a wonderful Christmas!
Yeah always seems in the winter stuff breaks .. well for me over here, I bet the part is like 500 or so and they just rip you off when installing it, congrats on the channel! Ok on the hornet how you going to paint yours?
Yeah, I am sure you are right. The kicker is they have to wait 5-6 weeks to get the part and then schedule the install so I am looking at 6-8 weeks minimum for them to do it. I can order the whole new system, get it in 2 weeks and install it all in my own time well before they could replace one part. Seems terribly wasteful but I am hoping I may be able to sell some of the working parts for a few bucks to recoup some of the difference in price. I have not figured out what I am going to do on the paint. I have a couple ideas in my head but not sure which may actually happen. More than likely be a pick up a can of paint and roll with it plan as usual! LOL!
Merry Christmas to you as well! I will try to take some time for the fun stuff. I have gotten most of the "making" done for Christmas so I should be done with those little projects. Tomorrow is planned to be a day at the workbench, as long as the stickers go on well it will be a fun day! LOL! Take care and have a great weekend!
Yeah, it has been hit or miss here. Thankfully Al coming over gives me some footage for some upcoming videos. We had a good time. I know the weather has been fairly awful over there recently for you all so I am sure that has kept you indoors a lot! I hope you have a merry Christmas and Santa brings you some paddle tires!
We had an ice storm today, stayed home and did absolutely nothing. Found a truck, I’m buying on Wednesday, but that kills my dreams of a couple RC’s I was gonna buy🤷♂️ life..
Eww, ice is never fun! I am glad you found a new truck, not the time of year you want to be buying a new vehicle for sure. I am glad you were able to find something quickly though. The new HVAC stuff is going take out my fun money for a while so I understand.
Yeah, I get a lot of folks will probably stumble across a video or two from time to time skewing that subbed to non-subbed number but it seems to always be that way for bigger and smaller channels alike. Usually more even like a 60/40 split for the bigger channels. I have learned to not get hung up on the numbers as it can drive you bonkers! I check them here and there but tend to not put any weight into them as non of it really makes sense to me what works and doesn't on here! LOL!
Ugg, it is so frustrating. The replacement part is 2/3 the cost of a whole new system at Lowes and is going to be anywhere from 6 to 9 weeks before they can fix it. I can go to Lowes and order it tomorrow and get it in 2 weeks. So I will be adding HVAC install to my resume of crap I have done very soon!
Yeah, they are nuts if they think I am spending that much on a part! I'll be installing a whole new system sometime around new years! I get all new parts, a new warranty and get to add HVAC install on my resume as well!! Yeah is definitely is going to tighten the belt on spending for a bit but I have way to much invested in stuff sitting out there to avoid it. The cold is not going to hurt much out there but I definitely do not want to be out there in the freezing temps doing anything out there. Plus I have to have the AC as it is so humid here in the summer things will rust up quickly if it is not climate controlled. Another speed bump but thankfully nothing more than a speed bump! Take care and have a great weekend!
I miss me painting my own cars too! I still have yet to paint the RC10T and that has been months since I got that built! eventually I will get to it. LOL! Merry Christmas bud.
Thanks for the video Addam. 'Relax' & enjoy the festive season 🙂
From sunny Tasmania, Australia 👍🙂
I am getting to the point where I am going to be able to relax. Almost all the "making" is done and I will be ordering the new HVAC system early next week. After that I can focus more on the fun and relaxing side of things I hope. I will be ripping out the old HVAC system but right now that might be therapeutic and certainly something different! LOL! Thanks as always for the support and take care! Merry Christmas!
Hi there Addam! Thanks for the update, I think you need to give yourself a well deserved break over Christmas and New Year! So many videos and so much effort you've put in. It's massively appreciated especially as I know what it takes! I hope you get that heater sorted sooner than later! Wishing you and yours a great weekend my friend! 😎👊👍
Thanks Mark! I hope to get the run footage with Al edited up tonight when we get back from the family get together. Then tomorrow is planned to be an RC day so that will give me a couple weeks breathing room for videos, at least that is the plan! Then I can focus on ordering the new HVAC system and removing the old one before it arrives. Once all that is replaced then it will be back to business as normal (I surely hope). I am doing my best to balance everything, this time of year is always a bit rough between Thanksgiving and Christmas as we lost a lot of good folks in my life in that timeframe over the years. But lots of great memories as well so I try and focus on that part! 10 more days and I can kick back, drink some eggnog, eat too much and enjoy the Holiday! LOL!
Take care Mark and have a wonderful weekend!
Thanks for the update. We all get busy and your channel will not suffer taking some time off. I've not posted in over a week. Just too busy and the weather sucks
Yeah, I have been playing elf over here making stuff for Christmas goodies. Gave out some tonight and they went over very well so that made it all worth it! We had a great time at my wife's side of the family Christmas get together today and I am still stuffed from it! Good food and lots of laughs! I am not too worried about the channel taking a hit, I just feel like I need to get out at least one video a week (silly personal deadlines). I will be editing up all the run footage from Al coming over and hanging out. That will get a couple videos done and then I am going to sit down and get that 956 done tomorrow no matter what! LOL! I want to do the Hornet and need that 956 done so I can start on it.
I have just been frustrated with the whole stupid overpriced repairs on the heat in the garage. Just makes me mad they want 2/3 of an entire new system price for one part and installation! So I am going to order the new unit early next week and start ripping out the old one. I can get the new unit around the 1st of the year and the parts would not be in until sometime in February and may not be installed until March! By then it will be warming up again! LOL!
Here I go rambling one again! Thanks as always for the kind words Ryan, Merry Christmas to you and your family bud!
@@AddamsPlayground I get it man!! Life priorities!! The repairs for the heat sucks!!
I'm planning on buying a Midnight Edition Lunchbox and I'm going to go with an orange and black scheme. I hope it works out.
Wow... I am pleased to see that you have the Porsche project started! Thank you for "checking-in", always great to hear from you. We all understand that "life happens." Thank you again for your effort
Thank you as always for the kind words! I just feel bad when I cannot get the videos out on time. I know it is my own arbitrary timeline but still! I am going to finish the 956 tomorrow no matter what, even if I have to slap some Red Bull decals on it and completely change the look of it! LOL! Take care and wishing you a very Merry Christmas!
Good old rambling is great for the body, mind, and soul. This time of year is pretty hectic, but we will be here for the next video.
Thanks! I wanted to get some of the footage from your visit edited up but have not gotten to it yet. I plan on doing some this evening but I am still full and sleepy from out family get together today so I have not managed to move from the couch since we got home LOL! I hope you are having a great time visiting your family as well! Take care and enjoy your weekend!!!
Sometimes in life, we don’t get everything we want all at once. Just when we think everything is finally in place, we find ourselves having to postpone things due to circumstances beyond our control. But the most important thing, as everyone says, is to cherish the beautiful moments we share with our family. Wishing you and your loved ones a Merry Christmas!
Very true! We had a great day with my wife's side of the family for their Christmas get together and it was fun hanging out with all of them. Good food, good laughs and memories made! We have our friends Christmas coming up before then our Christmas day and then my side of the family get together right afterwards so it is going to be a good couple weeks, busy but I think we are prepared for it all (mostly, I think!). I just feel bad when I am slacking on the content so felt like I needed to make an appearance! Thanks for the kind words and I hope you and your family all have a very Merry Christmas as well!
@ thank you brother!
It’s a tough time of year to squeeze everything in! With Christmas preparations, family, etc…
Congratulations on your four year anniversary!🎉 Your channel’s done real well!👍😊
Those hvac guys have got you by the short hairs!😬
Yeah, it is always busy, that additional stress of the HVAC has not improved the normal levels at all! We will be ordering the new system next week and hopefully sometime around new year I will be putting all that in. I refuse to pay 2/3 of a new system price for one part! Plus I get a new warranty cycle on the new system and can add HVAC install to my list of jack of all trades list!
4 years has flown by and I could not be happier with the results. Numbers aside (only metrics I have to work with) I have met a ton of wonderful folks like yourself from all over the world that I love talking to and can call friends! So numbers, time and stress of it is all trivial when I look at that!
Take care Jeremy and have a great weekend!
Thanks for the update Addam. Time's the most value thing we have. Once it's gone, we cannot bring it back. Looking forward for the things to come. Have a great weekend Addam.
Very true, I am trying to balance everything but YT is one thing I can skip to make time for others. I hate doing it but have had to focus on other things. I do plan on spending the day tomorrow doing fun stuff so hopefully I get a bunch accomplished! I am taking everything as it comes and seems like installing a HVAC system is going to be part of my new years plans! LOL! I hope your card gets to you before Christmas but it is one the way! Have a great weekend Dirk!
Congratulations on your 4 year anniversary thanks for the update looking forward to the run footage
Thanks! It has flown by, it doesn't feel like it has been 4 years. I have some of the run footage edited and will be working on more of it to get a video ready for Wednesday! Take care and have a great week!
I got my Hornet EVO recently. Building it now. I have a Tamiya Super Stock RZ motor for it. A 23 turn. Vary strong magnets. Can't wait to see how it runs. Have a Vary Merry Christmas Family and all. Congratulations.
Oh, that should be a real ripper! From what I have seen so far they are great driving buggy with a good bit of understeer. I think the light front end and those grip-less smoothie tires are the turning issue. It defintely looks like a lot of fun and it is a very cool idea from them to revamp the classic! Wishing you and yours a very merry Christmas as well!
Happy and healthy holidays to everyone in your family. This is a hectic time of the year. I am looking forward to your footage with Al.
Thank you, and the same to you! I am editing it up tonight, hopefully some of it will be ready to post by Wednesday. It has been really busy and my head has been spinning going from one thing to the next. Looking forward to it slowing down some and taking a break around Christmas time!
That sux. Understand hvac issues. I live near Houston and lost our 20 year old ac. $12000 later at the end of august hottest part of year finally got a new system. Thanks for always keeping up with posts and awesome videos as always!!!!! Great stats!!!! Congratulations 🎊🎉🎈
Oh wow, Yeah you got me beat! That had to have been rough. I would not be as annoyed if it were a reasonable price, not 2/3 of the price of an entire system. I just don't understand how on part and replacement labor costs close to the same price as an entire ready to install system! Also the 5 to6 week lead time to get the part and then they won't schedule the install unitl it shows up so that adds another 2 to 3 weeks on top of it. It will be warming back up before they even show up to repair it! So I am ordering the system early next week and starting to remove the old system out of there as it only take 2 weeks to get the new system! Just seems wasteful and wrong. Anyways, Thanks for watching and checking in! Wishing you and your family a very merry Christmas!

Oh man! That is rough! The part that rubs me the wrong way is the part replacement is 2/3 the cost of entire DIY system that I can get 4 to 6 weeks quicker! If it were a reasonable price and timeframe then it would be just another bill to pay but this just seems so unreasonable and stupid. So the new system will be ordered and I will start ripping out the old system while waiting for the new stuff to arrive! Thanks for the support and more fun stuff to come very soon! Take care and have a great weekend and a Merry Christmas!
Love the shirt Addam! One of my favourite Christmas movies! Thanks for the update and have a great weekend!
Thanks! The Christmas Story and Christmas Vacation are my top two for sure! I have watched both several times already this year and once each since Thanksgiving. Take care and enjoy your weekend too!
Nice one, Addam! I just watched Mark Bryan build a nice DF-01 chassis, and you slap a dirty run one up on the bench, pure joy! Great to hear you had Al over, I can imagine the laughs in your little forest area, the elves and gnomes must have loved him there, he he!
Yeah, that stuff with a heat pump and all those energy draining things, they always get us down this time of year, I know I am completely attempting to do RC stuff almost every day and almost every day I fail to do so, just stuff happening, ha ha! It's okay, it'll be spring again, at some point, ha ha!
Have a good one there, buddy!
Yeah the Manta Ray is a mess! So was bench after bringing it out to show you guys, had a brief recording pause to clean up all the dirt that fell off of it! It was a fun day with him over. We did quite a bit of chatting and laughing while out there! I will be working on starting to edit all that footage this evening when I get home from our Christmas get together.
The whole heat thing really sucks! I had a buddy come over and fill it with freon and got it up running. went out the next morning and the entire upstairs was a foggy mess from it leaking out. I had to air it out and shut everything down. I have to order the new system and it will be a couple weeks before it arrives so I will try and get a bunch of stuff recorded as when it arrives I will be installing all of it myself.
The 956 has been quite an opponent, I enjoyed the build of it but the stickers I have not wanted to do at all! I will get it done before the Evo build as it is my goal to not leave any more of them sitting around unfinished like the RC10T still is and Lazer I need to get the parts on! Hopefully my focus will get more focus soon!!! Take care Mads and have a great weekend!
Stressmas busiest time of the year life gets hectic for weeks to shut down for a couple of days when life is that busy it's hard to get motivated or even get your mind into thinking about vids when all you can think of is the to do list don't push yourself mate take care 👊
LOL! Merry Stressmas! I am doing my best to keep everything balanced! The repair bill was laughable and I will be installing a new system around new years it seems. Doesn't make sense to spend 2/3 of the new system price on a part repair when I get a new system with a new warranty for 1/3 more. I can also get that whole package in a couple weeks versus couple months, plus I get to add HVAC install to my resume! LOL!
Take care Mark, hope the shoulder is still improving and that you have a great weekend!
Never mind the shambles, I always appreciate your rambles. Merry Christmas and happy and safe New year to you and your family! Fresh start for all in 2025.
LOL! I am trying to not let it get me down! That repair bill got me bent though, buying the whole new system and installing it myself seems to be the way to go, I reset a new new warranty on it all as well! I will be editing tonight when I get home and wrapping up the 956 and starting the Hornet tomorrow, tomorrow is going to be an RC day if I have to pack it up and go to the neighbors house to work on it there! LOL!
Merry Christmas to you and you family as well and I hope 2025 will be another good year for all!
A dirty RC is a happy RC! I hope you get caught up with everything you need to do!
LOL! It is a very happy one then, poor thing is caked in it! I think things should start winding down soon. I am getting caught up. I got the 956 wrapped up yesterday and the Hornet build started so that was a relief and fun. Tearing out the old HVAC stuff and replacing it doesn't sound fun but for the money I'd rather replace the system than the one part! I have a couple weeks before it shows up so I can pace myself doing all of that work. It is always something coming up but there have been a lot of somethings lately that got me behind and I hate not getting the videos done!
We are busy around here too . Then I go and start a shop improvement project. Lol why not !
@@Okpaintguy2 I know it is busy for everyone this time of year. Think I got really bummed/annoyed with the whole HVAC mess. I had just replaced my compressor out there as my other decided to get a pinhole in the tank. So that was an unwelcome expense and then the mini split thing was a really pricey and unwelcome thing as well. Will be replacing the whole system once it arrives some time around new years!
@ Yeah we had a new system put in a year ago. No fun !
Love your channel. Didn’t so at the start when I back into the hobby a year ago.
I am glad you are enjoying it! I am a fungi, I grow on you after a while LOL!!
Thanks for the update Addam! Hope you have a great family Christmas get together!! It is hard to get everything together at this time of year let alone slapping together some TH-cam content!!
Keep doing the awesome stuff you do amigo 🙌🏻
Thanks Craig! I tried to be prepared this year and still got behind! LOL! That whole HVAC stuff really frustrated but just gonna have to fix it myself and learn something new in the process! I saw you all got out and were enjoying the season recently! I look forward to hanging out with family today and then taking some time tomorrow to get the 956 wrapped up and the Evo started! I'll be starting on the video editing tonight of all the footage from Al's visit as well.
Take care and wishing you and the family a very Merry Christmas!
Great update Addam 😊 we could All do with some more time 🤔 And money 🤣 have a great weekend
Very true, I am not in the fight alone, I know that! That HVAC mess really got me miffed but I just gotta pick a plan and move on with it. Not a today problem so I am going to enjoy family today and try and have an RC day tomorrow and pick back up with the stress on Monday like it is meant to be LOL! Take care and have a great weekend!
Thanks for the card. Meredith loved it. Merry Christmas Addam.
You are very welcome and I am glad Meredith enjoyed it too! I barely got them out this year! I am going to have to start preparing for the holidays a lot earlier next year as time seems to be speeding up every year!! LOL! Merry Christmas to you and the crew! Have a great weekend my friend!
Hey Adam! I’ve been watching a lot of your videos and just wanted to say thank you! I don’t usually comment but I’m younger (in my 20s) and I don’t see a lot of kit videos and sadly not a lot of people my age building rc kits and stuff. I love the creativity and the different take on these! Every year for Christmas I buy my dad and I matching Kits to assemble together and the couple months they sit at my house before Christmas and I’m itching to open them but can’t yet, I love watching your build content on those specific kits and I’m constantly finding new inspiration for the next one. Thanks for the entertainment and the personal feel to the channel that many just dont have. Merry Christmas!
Thank you very much for the kind words! I am glad you are enjoying the videos and feel free to chime in on any of them, I do my very best to respond to everyone even on the older videos.
I love the fun Christmas tradition you have going on over there, that sounds super fun! Sadly my dad has a less than zero percent interest in them. I show him a new build and he looks at me like I am in need of therapy (he's probably right)! LOL! It is really cool you and your dad get to experience a new kit every year and you are almost there, just a few more days!!! Thanks for sharing the great story with me!
I will keep being a bad influence and making lots more videos for you to enjoy, get some inspiration from and probably end up buying too many toys! LOL!
Take care and I wish you and your family a very merry Christmas!! Feel free to email some pics of this years builds once they are done or message me on Instagram with them, I'd love to see them!
@ Thanks for the nice response and I’m glad the videos will keep coming!
My dad’s only small issue with the kit world is he likes the more basher friendly trucks. We have Arrmas to beat on and some other stuff, we’ve done tt02 kits, clods, a vanquish crawler, and this year is the turbo scorpion. Do you have any recommendations for kits that are fairly stout for some more aggressive driving? I can’t afford $500 a piece Teknos and don’t need anything quite that intense. But a kit that would handle decent, take some jumps, and the occasional crash at the local track would be great! The older designs are just not quite as stout or they are too pretty to run hard haha
@@toddsmith2632 The Kyosho kits all have been upgrade to handle brushless power so the driveline will hold up no problem. It does not say to in the kit but thread lock the screw going into the counter gear shaft in the transmission (small gear in between the spur and the motor). If it is pre-installed then remove it and thread lock it! I had one that was pre-installed come loose and I can very close to destroying t gears in there! The only real weekend of them is the chassis rails can get bent in hard crashes. Those are usually in stock as they are ones that need replacing the most. They are geared higher then Tamiya kits so you need less motor to go fast. A good 19turn brushed or 3000kv brushless will get them moving nicely! My other word of advice is if something is not fitting properly, you goofed up. These snap together perfectly and if you having to force something it is not a error in the kit but something is not assembled right in a previous step. Have fun with them!!
Last
Here I thought I was having a bad day and you talk about a $2,200 repair and waiting 6 weeks for a part holy crap
How did you get on the Christmas card list
Thank you for the video
Yeah that whole HVAC mess has me pretty steamed. Of course it had a 5 year warrant and is 6 years old as well. I'll be spending the 3K and doing it all with brand new stuff and getting it all done before they can even get the part.
I have a card for you already, I had to get more stamps so it will be going out today.
Thanks for checking it out and listening to be vent and ramble on! Take care and have a great weekend!
Happy days mate, from this Aussie in China, and a big Merry Christmas to you and your family!
Cheers Mate! And Merry Christmas to you as well! Thanks as always for taking the time to say hi!
Great update Addam…your comment about canada post totally cracked me up!!! lol - it’s nuts! I have an EVO tied up in that system somewhere…gave up trying to get a video out before Christmas…it ain’t arriv’n any time soon :( - You’re one of my absolute favourite channels to watch…you’re just a down to earth real guy. Don’t get me started on costs…the pricing on stuff now isn’t even reasonable…I think they just pick a number out of the sky and hope you buy it. Look forward to seeing your track runs with Al! (End of run on thoughts)
Hey there Freddy! It really sucks about the postal strike and it has to be frustrating for all you guys! I know a lot of folks are waiting for things that are piling up and may be months and months before they are able to get around to delivering. I wanted to send you all cards but there was no point in you getting a Christmas card in June!
Thank you for the kind words my friend, what you see is what you get, I don't sugar coat anything and give it to you guys just like your are sitting here with me. I get the happy perky thing makes for better video views but I am just a guy with the same problem most everyone else has, I just have poor spending habits and record it all for you guys to watch! LOL! Joking aside I appreciate it!
The HVAC issue have been stressing my out and that total they gave me the other day was laughable! also the 6 week lead time was stupid, it will be warming up by the time they get the part! I was expecting around a $1000 for parts and labor, but 2200 for it was outrageous and of course it had a 5 year warranty on a 6 year old part... didn't see that coming! The kicker is the entire system (ENTIRE) is 3100 ready to install myself that comes with a new 5 year warranty so it seems I will be adding HVAC installer to me resume soon. I can get the system in about 2 weeks versus the 6-8 for the repairs as well. Sucks I have to pay more but seems silly not to!
I will be working on the footage from Al's visit tonight when I get home so those should up next week! Take care and wishing you all the best this Christmas!
Cheers from Greece!
Well hello, not too often I hear from your area of the world! Thanks for checking in and I hope you have a wonderful Christmas!
Happy holidays! It’s great to see a well used Manta Ray.
Thank your, same to you as well!
Al and I both ran the Manta Ray, I did let him run it a lot longer, and we both had a good time getting it disgusting! The tracks was just on the wetter side of perfect for running it out there, it was carving the corners well!
Cheers for the update and know exactly how you are feeling about lack of time etc etc. As for the AC system and being in the trade it is a silly thing that its cheaper to buy complete systems than major parts. We condemn so many systems just because of the repair costs. its bonkers!
Yeah it has been a juggle lately but still have my head above water so it is fine! That whole HVAC thing really got me bent! 2200 for one part with a 6 week lead time on the part so 2 months before any repairs, it will be warming back up by then!! To be able to go buy a new system with a warranty on it for not much more seems like a no brainer. I can also get that whole package in a couple weeks versus couple months. Plus I get to add HVAC install to my resume! LOL! It could be far worse and I get to learn something new, still a hassle though! Take care Glenn and have a great weekend!
@AddamsPlayground thank you... i will once the hangover is gone 🤣
@rivierarc LOL!
Merry Christmas, hope you get the heating sorted and Santa brings you some cool Rc
@@martinhsrc6699 Merry Christmas to you as well Martin! I ordered the new system yesterday and it will be here in a couple weeks. I think I may get lucky and find at least one new RC under the tree, it is kind of all my wife knows to get me now! 😂 Take care and I hope Santa finds a cool kit in his bag for you as well!
It's a busy time of year. I haven't worked on any projects in a while. It's too cold to run RCs or paint bodies. After the holidays I go into hibernation like a bear. I'll probably start working on builds again soon but for now it's happy holidays! Congratulations on your YT anniversary!
I would love to curl into a cozy spot for a month or so! That sounds amazing!! I know what would happen, One quick nap and I would wake up all fidgety and restless and end up getting into something anyways so no point trying! LOL! Once the holiday hustle and the HVAC issues are done I am hoping I can settle into a nice spot of building and refurbishing a lot of the project on hand. Enjoy your downtime and I hope you have a terrific holiday season!!
Wow impressive stats Addam 😊 well done dude.. sounds like you’ve got a lot on buddy don’t worry about not putting out vids it’s a busy time with crimbo round the corner 😊 look forward to your hornet evo build 😃👍have a great weekend buddy.. Pete
Hey Pete! It just sucks I have not had the time or energy for it lately. I enjoy doing it but it is the sacrificial thing I have to do from time to time when things get backed up and I am stressed. Once all this heat mess is behind me I will be in a lot better shape. We have to get in and get the system ordered, then two weeks to get it and then install it all. So I have about 2 weeks or so to get a some stuff recorded and edited so I can focus on getting all that stuff installed when it gets here. I am looking forward to the Evo build but have to get the 956 done first. If I don't it will stay like that until spring! LOL!
Take care and enjoy your weekend as well my friend!
Hey Addam, a great update and loved the rambling ! I sure know how busy you’ve been and making videos for YT as well…just eats into sleeping time 😂😊😂 sorry about the heater system in your garage, and hey man! Being a loss adjuster and scoping repairs, I know that to source, supply and fit parts can take as much money as buying a new product! See it time and time again, when I am negotiating settlements for home claims 😂😊😂. Thinking perhaps a well earned break over the Christmas time, recharge a little bit 😊😊might just be what you need 😊😊best wishes and a Merry Christmas to you and the family 😉🙏😎🎂
Hey there John! Yeah the HVAC thing really got me miffed but we will be ordering the new system next week and hopefully sometime around new year I will be putting all that in. I refuse to pay 2/3 of a new system price for one part! Plus I get a new warranty cycle on the new system and can add HVAC install to my list of jack of all trades list! In the time it takes to get here I will be working on ripping out the old system. Seems like such a waste but makes more sense in the long run as I get a whole new warranty and all new stuff this way, not stressing on something else breaking in the other unit!
I am doing pretty well juggling things but have gotten behind on the YT stuff. I plan on editing up the footage from Al's visit tonight when we get back home and then tomorrow should be a fun day in the basement working on RCs. Things will even out soon enough and other than the kick in the crotch from the AC stuff I have done well! LOL!
Wishing you and your family a very Merry Christmas and happy new years to you all! Have a great weekend my friend!
You started the terrible stickers work on 956!! I like the background changing colors...I know that subscribers are way less than viewers but this means that we have subs from really interested people and this I like. CIAO!
I got all the sticker done today, it took quite some time to get them all on there but it is finally done! Now I need a warm enough and dry day to take it out for a run around a parking lot!
I know there will always be a lot more viewers than subscribers! I am very happy with the wonderful group of folks I talk to all the time! Take care Nanni and have a terrific week ahead!
@@AddamsPlayground 9 days to the D day...
@@NANNIRC I know, time is flying!!! Seems like it was Halloween a few weeks ago!
@@AddamsPlayground Did U planed for summer vacations?
Congratulations on the 4 years anniversary! I’d get the buggies cleaned up, get the decals on the Porsche then as a reward, build the Hornet lol!
Thanks! I did most of that, got the 956 wrapped up and started on the Hornet, I did however ignore the dirty cars for another day! The Hornet build is pretty interesting, lots of new parts to get everything to work!
@@AddamsPlayground cool. My second kit ever was the original Hornet. Fond memories. Will be excellent to see the updated and tuned up version done!
I finally got my Hornet today to what a great pre order 😅😂and ouch on that heater price
Yeah, I was a little bummed about the delay but in all honestly I was not going to touch it until maybe Sunday at the earliest anyway so it worked out fine. I do think it is funny they cannot seem to organize a release of their kits at all, it is always one country or another that seems to get things about 3 to 4 weeks ahead of the rest of the world! LOL!
Yeah the HVAC stuff blew my mind, 2200 for just the coil replacement and a 6 week lead time on the part or order a completely new system and get it in about 2 weeks for 3100... how does that even makes sense!?!?! I am going with the whole new system and adding HVAC install to my resume it seems! LOL!
@AddamsPlayground I would to might as well have all new i have base boards and pellet stoves myself its a interesting combo but seems to be effective and effective on the wallet to
@@AdventureTimeRC If it were just heat I would go with a wood stove but most of the concern is in the summer. It stays so humid here that I want to protect the tools I have downstairs and all the RCs and other stuff I have stored upstairs I need the AC part. The stupid thing is built so I cannot even cap off the one unit and run the other one. The tech said it has to have at least two units running on it to function properly! Just gonna rip out the problem and start over with a new warranty that will expire before anything breaks and hope for the best LOL!!!
Impressive stats. Nice work 👍
Thanks! I have done really well in the 4 years, still a small fish in a big pond but I am very happy with where I am at!
Its good to take a bit of time out, thats some good results for the channel 👍 i’ll be having a nice easy christmas, busy working all the way up til 1630 xmas eve 😭 then its feet up, open the snacks and chill 😎
I am trying to get everything wrapped up so i can enjoy the time around Christmas. I have gotten a bunch done so I am one the downhill side of things! We had a great day today with my wife's side of the family and then we have our friends get together, Christmas and then my side all in the same week so I am hoping to be able to chill and enjoy the heck out of all that! Sorry you are working pretty much up to the last minute, are you an elf?!?! LOL! I do hope Santa brings you some cool toys and enjoy the snacks and chill time! Have a very Merry Christmas!
@ i dont mind it to much, it could be worse and i could be working over christmass. I’ll be away the 28th for the tamiya junkies meet, thats about it really 😎
Congratulations on the 4 year anniversary Addam!
You're one of the hardest working in the game mate.
I do hope that you can manage to take some time out over Christmas to spend with family ,and recharge your batteries! (you deserve it!)
I think that we can all relate to what you are saying 100%.
Its a very busy,and stressful time of the year.....and we are forced to reduce hobby and TH-cam time drastically.
Its now the 18th of December,and I've not even had time to buy one present,or write one card yet......
Working every day until 9pm Christmas eve as well,panic is now well and truly setting in!😅
Those channel analytics are just like ours regarding the subscribers V non subscribers .....i fail to understand why people who regularly watch content dont hit that sub button??🤔
I don't think many of them realise the amount of time and effort that goes into a channel like yours,they get to watch all this great regular content totally for free......the least they can do is take 3 seconds to subscribe! 🙄
Im actually loving the changing colour backdrop,very psychedelic.😅
As for the Manta Ray,that dirt tells a story of fun.....nothing wrong with a bit of dirt on a runner,if you clean it up then your less likely to run it again any time soon trust me! 😉
Wishing you and the family a very happy Christmas man,and a huge thanks for all the superb content that you have given us throughout 2024! 🙏
🎄 🤶 😊👍 👍
Thanks James! I appreciate it. Think I just got worn down a bit and frustrated with the whole HVAC thing as well. I had just replaced my compressor out there right after Thanksgiving as the 6 year old one decided to get a pinhole in the tank and replacing the tank was a much as buying a new one. Getting tired of everything having a 5-6 year lifespan and made to replaced and not repaired, so wasteful. Things have slowed down some and the purchases have been made so I'm trying to wind it down and get ready to take a Christmas break. My wife is off next week so I will be doing stuff with her, baking cookies and watching Christmas movies on the top of the to-do list next week! LOL!
I'm sorry you are stuck working so much but I am sure the nasty weather has gotten everything a bit backed up over there lately.
The subscriber thing is always going to skewed, not everyone logs in to watch videos and comment so they can't sub or like videos either. Others, I guess they watch whatever the algorithm feeds them and they see what they see. I stopped trying to figure out the numbers a year or more ago, I just report on them now LOL! I got way to stressed out trying to figure out what worked and what didn't. 4 years in and I am still shocked all the time on video performance. I can spend hours and hours editing up a video and it kind of tanks and I can record one, edit and upload it in under an hours and I get 2-3 times views and subscribers from it... I just put them out now and what happens, makes it a lot easier to not worry about it!
I hope you get some time to get some shopping squeezed into your schedule and that you have a very Merry Christmas! Best wishes to you and the crew!!
Totally agree mate,we grew up in the eighties where things were designed to last, and be repairable.
Yes, things were more expensive.... but they would always last 20+ years at least!
And thats the exact reason why I never by a car produced after 1999,i still play my records on technics 1210 turntables, and I garden with my grandads old gardening tools and a 50 year old briggs and Stratton lawn mower!! 😂
Unfortunately things are designed in obsolesence these days-
I always remember my dad telling me about how Ford used to pay engineers to design rust traps in their cars that would bubble up just after the three year paint warranty would run out!
It's ludicrous how disposable everything has become in modern life.
Electronic devices are the worst, programmed to fry control boards after X amount of hours usage..... Just to get more money out of the consumer.
You've only got to look at our own hobby to see how well the old eighties transmitters, servos chargers and brushed motors have survived, most still working perfectly fine 40+ years on...... I doubt the same will stand with all the modern stuff!
Crikey, you set me off on a rant there mate! 😅
Glad to hear that you will be getting some quality time off with the family..... Just promise me that you won't be watching our Christmas movie with the wife!!! 😮💩
As for me, I only ever take Christmas and boxing day off....
As I sole trader with 250 monthly jobs to get through I really have to keep going!
Also, it keeps me out of mischief (sort of)! 😂
I need to be kept busy, and if I don't work, I don't earn, then can't pay my bills!
Mad rush over the next few days, but I will get there!
Have a good one mate. 😊👍 👍
Happy Holidays Addam!
Thank you! Wishing you the same! Things are simmering down so I am hoping it is a nice and chill Christmas!
Nice updates I can't wait to see what you do and what you think of the new hornet EVO!
I am looking forward to building and driving it. Not looking forward to the rest of the decals on the 956 to get it off the bench so I can start on the Evo though. I really need to never buy another race livery car again, entirely too many stickers!! I think this has like 150 or something around that.. silly!
@@AddamsPlayground Yeah I wish tamiya had pre cut stickers... when your older it's just a pain cutting them all out!
@@BSslotcars yeah the eyes are not as good as they once were and all the thin window trim and other details are tedious! the race liveries are always a chore, they look great when done but take forever!
Dude I'm jealous of all those damn trucks on your shelves! Lol with I could review trucks. Just not enough youtube subs and content for it. I'm a drone guy, bit these trucks have gotten crazy addicting...I build my own fpv drones, so working on these trucks has been interesting. Love your channel bro, keep doing you!
LOL, all it takes is perseverance and a lot of unhealthy spending!!! Heavy on the unhealthy spending part... The ground stuff is where I have always been into, I have the one Holy Stone drone and it is the only thing I can successfully fly! Everything else has ended suddenly and dramatically! I get dyslexic in the air with the controls and it has never worked out. The ground stuff I am better with, still crash but they don't tend to fall out of control as much LOL! I am glad you are enjoying the channel. Start working some of the less expensive kits into your channel and maybe you will get a bit more traction in our ground based world! Take care and have a great weekend!
All ramblings accepted 👍
Looking forward to seeing how you get on with the Hornet Evo build and dont forget to check the rear wheel axles to make sure they're not bent as they could be a Tamiya design flaw 🤔🤔🤔
Are you sticking with the original black or going slightly non-box-art?
You could go totally opposite and paint it white with the matching wheels and the decals would really stand out from the crowd 👍👍👍
Thankyou for your update Addam 🤘
Thanks Peter, I am glad as it is all I had this week LOL! I had been ahead of schedule for a while and recently caught up to the stuff I had recorded and just did not get any time down at the workbench this week! Sunday I plan on getting down there and tackling all those decals on the 956 and winning that battle! LOL! Then onto the Evo, I think I am going to it black, maybe with some sparkles in it. Although white hot may be a cool option as well... I will have to ponder that idea today as it sounds kind of interesting!
Take care Peter and have a great weekend! Did my tools I had sent show up there yet?
@AddamsPlayground A-Ha, so you are the culprit 😆😆😆
Yes my friend, they did turn up and I was absolutely flabbergasted when I opened up the package. I thought to myself, who would send me some Top Notch Quality items like these? What had I done to receive such wonderful gifts from a very special person?
I shall definitely be putting those tools to good use when I build the next project after my G6-01 Conversion.
I shall give you a preview of what's in store for the masses to watch 😆😝🤣
I must say a Massive Thank You Addam for the accessories that you sent me. They are very much appreciated 👍👍👍
@@cw-01creations46 You are very welcome! You have done so much giving and I cringed at seeing the nippers used to hold the shock shaft (I have done it in the past though!) so it was a fitting gift to a great guy! LOL! Enjoy them and thank you for the cool preview!
Sometimes a good ol' rumble it's just what you need it's good to see you behind the screen no matter what it is big or small 😂 haha
Have a good weekend buddy best regards
Thanks, I appreciate you guys. I feel bad for not getting the videos out on time. I know it is my own arbitrary timeline but still! We had a great day with my wife's side of the family for our Christmas get together and then we have a friends gathering, then Christmas and then my side of the family right afterwards so I am just trying to get everything set up for all that to be able to coast through it all and enjoy it! Take care my friend and wishing you a very Christmas!
@AddamsPlayground Addam please don't be sorry when content is as good as yours people will wait and appreciate it 😏
Always family first and your wellbeing then everyone else after 🙂
Happy TH-cam anniversary buddy
Thanks Thad! It both seem like yesterday when I started and also a very long time ago at the same time! The last 4 years have been a blur for sure!
Merry Christmas
Thank you! Merry Christmas to you as well!
Out of all the you tube R/C guys i watch and follow you are by far the one i enjoy the most. You make videos that are just real and down to earth. And you also make me wanna buy more cars dammit! But serious i really thank you for your time and the time you take to answer my questions. Means a lot to me and im sure everyone else on here. So here's my question for you today. Where did you get the GPS that you use on your phone for the speed runs and stuff you do? I got that Milan one that you showed a few times and it really doesn't work at all. But ive seen the one you have on a bunch of videos and would really like it. Thanks again Addam and in case you dont post anything before Christmas have a great Christmas and Happy New Year. Dave
Thanks Dave, I truly appreciate that and that is a really big compliment! What you see is what you get, nothing differnt than me in real life expect more of a filter on YT, I keep the colorful language to a minimum on here but have less of a filter in person! LOL! I am more than happy to help out and answer question when I can. Some things I don't know the answers to but those that I do or at least have experience in I will always offer help.
For the GPS I use the SkyRC GNSS Performance Analyzer Bluetooth GPS Speed Meter & Data Logger. It works with Android and Fruit phones (Apple). Much more accurate and you can tuck it safely inside the car to keep it from getting beat up. It is quite a bit more expensive but since I was doing more and more speed run challenges it was well worth it to have the phone app and be able to screen shot and keep record of the runs.
I will have more videos coming, no worries on that. I am part way through editing the run footage and just wrapped up the 956 today and started the Hornet Evo so more fun stuff is coming up! I do plan on doing some sort of Christmas video as well before the big day! Take care and I wish you and your family and very Merry Christmas!!!
Hey Adam it’s ok have a great Christmas
Thanks! I am going to try my best! The late November through mid December has a lot of speed bumps in it for us, lost a lot of great people in the span over the years plus the holidays hustle and the HVAC stuff has got me stressed so just a lot of things going on. Doing what I can when I can and doing my very best to stay in a good mood and enjoy the time of year. The Christmas music is helping, my holy jolly therapy! LOL! Take care and I hope you have a wonderful Christmas!
Yeah always seems in the winter stuff breaks .. well for me over here, I bet the part is like 500 or so and they just rip you off when installing it, congrats on the channel! Ok on the hornet how you going to paint yours?
Yeah, I am sure you are right. The kicker is they have to wait 5-6 weeks to get the part and then schedule the install so I am looking at 6-8 weeks minimum for them to do it. I can order the whole new system, get it in 2 weeks and install it all in my own time well before they could replace one part. Seems terribly wasteful but I am hoping I may be able to sell some of the working parts for a few bucks to recoup some of the difference in price.
I have not figured out what I am going to do on the paint. I have a couple ideas in my head but not sure which may actually happen. More than likely be a pick up a can of paint and roll with it plan as usual! LOL!
Well done Adam!
Thanks for all the vids, Merry Christmas!
Hare Krishna
Thank you and thanks for always taking the time to check in! Merry Christmas and hope you are doing well!
Merry Christmas my man…throttle back if you need to! I’m on the road a lot and sometimes you just need a lazy break….i sure do
Merry Christmas to you as well! I will try to take some time for the fun stuff. I have gotten most of the "making" done for Christmas so I should be done with those little projects. Tomorrow is planned to be a day at the workbench, as long as the stickers go on well it will be a fun day! LOL! Take care and have a great weekend!
good stats mate . i feel tbe pain . now been a month since i’ve run anything . the stars just aren’t aligning here 😂👍
Yeah, it has been hit or miss here. Thankfully Al coming over gives me some footage for some upcoming videos. We had a good time. I know the weather has been fairly awful over there recently for you all so I am sure that has kept you indoors a lot! I hope you have a merry Christmas and Santa brings you some paddle tires!
We had an ice storm today, stayed home and did absolutely nothing. Found a truck, I’m buying on Wednesday, but that kills my dreams of a couple RC’s I was gonna buy🤷♂️ life..
Eww, ice is never fun! I am glad you found a new truck, not the time of year you want to be buying a new vehicle for sure. I am glad you were able to find something quickly though. The new HVAC stuff is going take out my fun money for a while so I understand.
Thanks for the card Addam 😂.
Email me your address and I will get one over to you!
That's the same thing on my channel, most of my views were from non subs....weird how youtube algorithm works
Yeah, I get a lot of folks will probably stumble across a video or two from time to time skewing that subbed to non-subbed number but it seems to always be that way for bigger and smaller channels alike. Usually more even like a 60/40 split for the bigger channels. I have learned to not get hung up on the numbers as it can drive you bonkers! I check them here and there but tend to not put any weight into them as non of it really makes sense to me what works and doesn't on here! LOL!
Because they want you to buy new not fix old stuff
Ugg, it is so frustrating. The replacement part is 2/3 the cost of a whole new system at Lowes and is going to be anywhere from 6 to 9 weeks before they can fix it. I can go to Lowes and order it tomorrow and get it in 2 weeks. So I will be adding HVAC install to my resume of crap I have done very soon!
2k on a coil. Damn that puts a dent in the rc budget.
Yeah, they are nuts if they think I am spending that much on a part! I'll be installing a whole new system sometime around new years! I get all new parts, a new warranty and get to add HVAC install on my resume as well!! Yeah is definitely is going to tighten the belt on spending for a bit but I have way to much invested in stuff sitting out there to avoid it. The cold is not going to hurt much out there but I definitely do not want to be out there in the freezing temps doing anything out there. Plus I have to have the AC as it is so humid here in the summer things will rust up quickly if it is not climate controlled. Another speed bump but thankfully nothing more than a speed bump! Take care and have a great weekend!
Miss you painting my cars. Merry Christmas.
I miss me painting my own cars too! I still have yet to paint the RC10T and that has been months since I got that built! eventually I will get to it. LOL! Merry Christmas bud.
