We are blessed in Hertfordshire with lot's of clubs right now. Let's support them all so that continues .onwards and upwards 💪
Booming growth at the moment
I wish it was as popular in the states, I couldn’t pay people to come out and our club is dying, basically dead. All the kids just want to vegetate staring at phones. They can watch videos of streamers, why would they want RC cars?
I'm 64 and love playing with my toy cars, all 60 of them. Thanks guys
Cheers Brad
I think Manscape shoukd sponsor your videos after this smooth ball video 😂
Would be good
Always have neat balls
The south of England seams to be booming for new RC clubs, its so great to see this hobby bouncing back like it used to be
We will keep popping along and promoting them
Made me laugh so many times, another fantastic video chaps. Smooth balls and don't mention big bores in one video. You guys are on a roll .... oh and keep playing with those toy cars 😂
Cheers Lee
Absolutely love watching you guys, would be awesome to have you both down under for the vintage bash.
Maybe one day we can Popalong
Looking forward to seeing them on track 😊
So are we
Spat my brew out a few times there 😂 you cant beat smooth balls 👌 the diff on my cougar is silky smooth. Yes its got the upgraded trans, but with i guess the same treatment i gave to mine thanks to matt tunks 👌 buttery smooth. Looking forward to seeing both at oz. Kit tyres on grass will work, shock oils, spring kits will help tune the car in. But i love the idea of running a n event with box fresh, brushed cougars 😎
Hahaha
Don’t waste ya brew
I love watching you guys and your videos. Reminds me of when I was a kid and rc racing. Unfortunately my local club gets together so rarely due to all the shift workers. I'm truly envious of the rc life in the Uk.
Cheers.
Thanks buddy
love your videos. I work night shift. I usually stay up a bit after work which is usually when you upload.
Awesome! Thank you!
The motor of choice for vintage in Sydney, Australia (covering most classes) was a (Johnson) 540 silver can at hillsoffroadrc (home of the 2025 world championship), and currently the torque tuned motor at St Ives RC (home of the 1989 world championship). Brushed motors are very cost effective for the slower classes (budget/beginners/Vintage). Brushed motors for the slower classes make a lot of senses financially and for simplicity.
Agreed
Keep on mentioning the Trucks 🤣🤣
Will do
" something a child plays with " my wife has gone nuts she's a teacher teaching your kids
Please rebrand as Popalong Toys! 😁
Interesting
Smooth balls? Sandy Balls? You boys crack me up🤣 Seriously though, 'Buster' is a legend and a really nice bloke, and he has a mahoosive collection of RC cars. If you're racing at Stevenage this Tuesday I'll popalong and say hello ;)
Reasons brushed motors are better:
1) Fewer cables!
2) Sparks!
3) They smell better!
I like brushless power in my modern race cars.. but something feels wrong about people 'upgrading' vintage cars to brushless.. I am a little surprised that with the re-re market booming.. AE/Trinity/Losi haven't started re-releasing some of their classic motors.. seems like a missed opportunity..🖖
That would be good
@mark i will be racing in my first Tamiya TCS race next month and I am building a tt02R chassis for the race my question is about the diffs. I built them with the anti wear grease per the instruction manual and I am wondering if that is ok or if I need to change to a lighter grease in the rear diff. The race will be on an asphalt track. I keep seeing people on TH-cam running the rear diff a looser than the front diff. Thank you for any help. Looking forward to my first TCS race next month
@@rickzfpv3118 yeah mate that’s right, I run loads of aw grease in the front and keep the back as loose as possible with no grease
But how do you get those balls so smooth? Would really like to get close to that for my Cobra!

Another amusing video. I hope to get to chat with you at MK GP.
And we've got Cougars in the UK as well 🐆
Yeh when I mention " the beach " to my gorgeous wife she's watching me, we agree it sounded like a good idea at the time. I'm convinced I've still got Turkish sand in my laundry. There is a secret rumour regarding running in new diff balls/plates. Also does Modelsport still do send and skim commutators?
No I 🦌
Would you guys know of a decent TX that i can use with multiple tamiya models? i currently have around 6 TX's but would prefer to get rid of them and only have one bound to most of my RC cars.....
Is Spektrum any good as a TX?
🐆🐆🐆
Hahah
Sandy bull's 😂
Hahaha
I run brushed motors in my RC10b2. 19 turn spec motor or 13 triple👍
And if you ever call them toys again🤦🤦
Hahahaha
I used to run my toys with smooth balls when I first got them, I think its about time I did it again. So.... what were you going to say, what were you going to buy ? More Tamiya trucks ?
Yes yes yes - trucks
I said stickle bricks and play do, and gave her a glass of well earnt white wine, she looks relaxed only time will tell...
I put a stock chassis plate on a FT TC3 so downgraded effectively nose to tail in a race for 1st. I think same outcome if there was no oil in my shocks
Please give up the diff build secrets!!

My daughter is a Biologist at Uni. She studied in her own time roll centre on an rc car, of course I said you need to get out more. Apparently this is critical even off road, she produced a chart/graph of force v motion/angle. I'm so happy but told her how can bats and newts produce electricity let me know. No that was joke but it's true😆
Haha
I had a camara when I was 10yrs old, was that a toy?
Personally think that people who don't call them toy cars are a bit up themselves
It's a bit like Art is dancing or music Art or a picture on your wall.
I bought her the Yokomo rookie TC. I've got 3 x FT TC3's the only car that could beat it was a Schumacher WLRC
So 1998 I sold all my Tamiya collection for 3 FT TC3's I built them equally. TC1 hated asphalt. TC2 wasn't sure, TC3 loved carpet. So I drilled holes in the chassis of TC1 lots of holes and it TQ'ed outdoors but indoors it was a slug. So my point being tune the chassis an F1 car flexes, shocks are not important.
My wife accepts my star wars figure is a toy. Princess leia, not when it's in a box. I'm confused..
I'm exclusively brushed yah. In all my cars. Its the only way to go.
So therefore now a mobile phone is a toy
Toy falls into the same category
I said that they are real car's just smaller .
True
And tell everyone with a train set your playing with toys
Someone said toy (brad)
My daughter said 1° camber and 3 ° rear toe in, 4° kick-up. And maybe you might get a free hot chocolate, bye the way I need £100 just to live
Star wars figure after a bottle of wine with Miss Brace your teacher says and do quote me, it's a toy(so I win) but not when it's in a box. Confused I am so there's a shield, she said Nick you're smarter than I thought, just for the record I'm on the sofa tonight thanks to popalong, 🙃
Ok serious definition of toy, something a child plays with, so a bicycle is a toy?
Always saying trying to get new people in to the hobby my local clubs aren't letting new drivers in all the spots are taken up by members so to become a member you have to compete in 5 events I've been trying for over 12 months and I just can't get in as members take priority not just buggy's I've got LS2 v12 mini Tamiya truck vintage losi buggy it's impossible I've spent hundreds of pounds on all my RC and only managed to compete in 3 events over last year soon be up for sale on eBay 😢
Or are they adult toys, don't go there
Story of my life.All work and no play.😢😢😢
Feel your pain
