When someone only shows the positives of a certain brand and never any bad points you know they are a sell out. And then to try and look genuine they will say lots of bad points about other brands that they are not sponsored by. Not giving any names but a couple of horizon boot lickers spring to mind 😂😂
Lol… no comment, other than I did one sponsored review for Horizon back in 2021, and Surprise surprise… they’ve never spoken to me since 😅
Oh. You mean, like how you went on about Traxxas and pretty much took the piss out of anything that wasn't large and expensive?
You did shape up but for the longest time you came off as a spoiled child whose schoolmates didn't give a shit about how expensive his NEO-GEO was, because they were busy playing Sega and Nintendo with each other.
I can name 20+ channels that put out reviews of a new RC on the same day within a few minutes of each other. 😂 It irks me so bad when I see comments of naive people praising them knowing darn well the RC is junk and all hype. When I go into the comments and mention something they erase my comment or the loyal subscribers go on my channel and leave nasty comments. I was called a Kevin Talbot boot licker once. I just say he's my daddy. lol
@@FarmerFpv Heard of embargos? Companies not allowing reviews to drop until a certain time and date?
As long as the companies doesn't dictate the outcome of the video, and the review is fair, I fail to see the problem.
You must understand that every large channel here is run as a business, not a hobby. But the great thing about YT, is that you also can find a guy at his dinner table filming with his phone.
Yeah, the biggest ones are the RC plane people. They are sponsored and skirt the flaws and lousy performance. If you listen carefully, they give away the poor products by saying one thing in the unboxing, then use a different wording during the actual testing. This goes for ground vehicles and boats as well.
As campy as it sounds, I trust you, along with other CZcamsrs that don't seem influenced by sponsorships or brand loyalty, but report on quality and value as you find it. Bring Claire back, too!
Cheers dude. There’s a reason certain manufacturers don’t sent me stuff…
Not sure if Claire will be coming back… they’ve been gone a while
You trust him because its obvious Phil is is just being himself. Same as KT. Nothing to do trust necessarily but Phil's vids always have a real good vibe. Just a genuine wholesome bloke.
@@mandismith89Sorry mate., wrong number.!
Yeah man, you got it. KT has amazingly stayed a straight shooter despite his huge success and new smile. And you GOTTA trust a guy that uses a slide trombone sound. It's a law here in the States. @@dazofthemoo1531
Did you ever review a redcat low rider
Tomley, I trust you and Talbot only in this hobby. You guys push every car to their limits and give us an honest review. Thank you for content and honesty.
Talbot's an iffy one for me, because what he does is beyond the scope of the typical RC hobbyist. Even Jang's durability montages were less abusive to the vehicles, because Jang tried to simulate crashes that you'd typically run into in a racing or normal bashing environment, while Talbot sends his cars over jumps that would be at home in a XXX-Main stunt video.
IMO this is a very trustworthy channel, and in my experience HPI has always been a solid company, though I haven't personally owned one in a long time.
Yes, they are a decent bunch
Quick question, can you enter future raffles if you live in Australia? Love the channel 👍
The holy grail of RC enthusiasts …fresh new tarmac on a part built industrial estate 😂.
The effort you put in and not really having to do it just to please the haters that alone should tell people they can trust you. You have a huge following and still can be bothered well done Mr 👍🤘👍
Thanks dude
Track start stop read is back 😊🎉🎉 I've missed those words look forward to hearing it again 👊🏼🤙🏼💨💨💨
Haha… well.. contrary to popular belief, I’ve never actually said it in previous videos. It that I could find anyway 😅
@@TomleyRC 😅 it's what makes it a true speed run
When I want good, solid, honest information about a certain RC car or brand I tune in to you, Phil. And also Greg on RCDriver online. When I wanna see someone bash the piss out of something until it’s in pieces, I tune in to Kev Talbot. 😂
No, no, the moon was on the wrong side, causing the lunar pull to propel the truck 8mph faster. Still don't believe it. 😂
I was hoping nobody would notice!
Well, if nothing else, it proves the flat earthers correct. If we lived on a globe, it would go faster downhill than uphill. 😉
When I used to race in a well known series and we had controlled hand out silver can brushed motors the organisers would dyno them before handing them out as the tolerances were ridiculous. There could be thousands of rpm difference. Most of the time they would be down on power but you’d get the odd one that was ridiculously fast hence the organisers set a lower and higher rpm limit to try and make the racing competitive. Didn’t stop the cheaters fettling them 😂
Haha… I can imagine!
I did ‘Silver Can’ speed challenge on the Tamiya forum and got a bunch of silver cans. The earlier ones were the fastest 👌
Never had a reason to distrust you and doubt that will change. One of my favourite channels along with Kevin Talbots. Raffle entered, make a perfect gift for my grandson to join me on our race days out.
Thanks Mark. Good luck!
🛻👍
I take this opportunity to say hello to guys from HPI👋 you doing good, keep it up 🤩 (cant express more, not my native language 😊).
What about Wheely King Limited edition?🥰
Thanks a lot!!
Wheely King… Yes please!
Phil…yours and Kevin Talbots channel are THE main go-to ones for all of my RC purchases fullstop. I can honestly say that I’ve never doubted the effort you put in, the knowledge you provide, and the fairness of your tests and comparison videos and at the same time being humorous with it ! Before I purchased my FTX DR8 last year I’d never even heard of the company until I came across your channel. I now have a few FTX rc’s. IMO they along with HPI who let’s be honest have been around for quite some time I feel are decent and trustworthy companies that actually “give a s##t about their customers ! Shame a certain brand beginning with T and ending in S don’t !!!
It's really impressive that the Jumpshot MT V2 gets that kind of speed with that motor, and a testament to the design, the quality of the driveline of the vehicle and the low resistance of the ESC circuitry. As I've said before, all of these modern brushed RTRs actually use the same motor, the Johnson 6v RS550, a common motor for small cordless drills, so outside of any manufacturing defects or incorrect parts orders the motors should be more or less identical in power. Which means the Jumpshot MT V2 delivers that power better than its competition.
Straight up, no bs, out of all the RC CZcamsrs I watch I trust you and Discipline RC the most. You both tell it how it is and are very knowledgeable. Plus you're not afraid to admit you made a mistake. I'm the proud owner of an HNR Panther because of you guys. Oh, did you know it has police lights on it? They look awesome. It has hazards too. Anyway I'm only a minute in to the video when I started this comment. Have a good one. P.S. There's a free to sign up proxy service called my UK mail box. You get 2 addresses, 1 UK address and 1 in Germany. It's not cheap, but if you have to have it, an American can get stuff that's only available in the UK.
Hobby is the key word. It seems like within RC Hobbies, you CAN trust companies to overcharge you for poor quality products.
You CAN expect to be underwhelmed.
We don't only trust you we luv you and your channel.
Cheers Dean… 🤘
Above and beyond. The vast majority of us trust you Phil
I only have ever bought 1 RC car! HPI WR8. It is fantastic! I see much more exspencive cars, but from my experence you will never use them as the RC cars get fk3d up even if you try and look after them. Sure ive broken the Front axle pin 3 times. 2 arms and 1 engine. and thats with me really trying to get the fun out of it and be real careful.... its totaly unavoidable to not damge RC car. Little stone on road, but of slippery mud that sends it shooting off to the kurb.
anyway. I TRUST HPI, i have 0 experience with other cars but from what i have learnt with the WR8 it has been very well thought out and user friendly!
You seem pretty down to earth and genuine... i watch your vids for reviews and your honesty on them
Most CZcams channels typically show something once, drop out and move on to the next topic or item. I appreciate that you make another attempt to show what this RC has to offer. So giving up is not an option that you prefer. 👌👌👌👍
In regards to youtube i. Trust you and Roadside Rc, all the others ive seen are either ovvious advertisements or folks who may mean well but simply arent expeerienced. In regards to brands, i dont trust any yet. I own Losi, Arrma, and Redcat and all have come with very obviois and easily avoidable flaws. Im grateful for your experience, expertise, humor and all round great attitude. Thanks for what you do!
I didn't know that it was possible to distrust you, Phil - or HPI, for that matter!
Cheers Del. Hope you are keeping well
can you imagine though if you're a guy who doesn't watch these videos and gets one and it's 16 mph out of the box with a bad motor and you're none the wiser? would suck donkey balls.
Automakers do this and if you complain they blame it on you and won't fix it under warranty. Luckily in the US they have lemon laws.
@@muskokamike127 it’s like any issue really.. unless anyone says something, HPI would not know. If it’s not picked up on the QA or sample testing, then they rely on the user.
@@muskokamike127 ",Lemon laws" - that's a term I'd never heard before, but it's wonderfully self explanatory : )
@@Del350K4 In the US, if you have to take your car in (new) for the same prob 3x the dealer HAS to buy it back from you at the original selling price. NO exceptions. BY law.
Ford recently lost a class action lawsuit over their dual clutch transmission. They had to buy back EVERY focus, fusion, and fiesta sold between 2014 and 2019. 3 to 4 BILLION dollars.
Sadly not trusting Bangood (sic), after a three month battle, to not get a completed order, a refund or any kind of resolution after paying for "shipping insurance" which was about as much use, as volcano insurance.
You are one of my inspirations for my channel. I trust you completely. Keep up the good work.😃
I thought it was a very informative video myself but I will say by the time I watch videos on a product I've already came to my own conclusions on the product
All the best people are left handed
I agree (wrote this comment left handed)
@@TomleyRC 😂 you can trust most left handed people (except the famously evil ones (and if they’re evil they’re legit famous))
I want to be an evil one when I grow up :)
@@TomleyRC I think you should defy the odds. Be an evil one when you grow down
You've always come across as a decent guy
Track start? HOW DARE YOU!!!! HAHA
Mwuhahahahha
Bought several cars on the back of your reviews and wasn't disappointed with what I got at all. 👍🏻 The only disappointment was the look I got when my missus discovered I'd bought another one 😂 Cheers 👍🏻
I never had any doubt that you are a stand up guy. With the raffles and the tests on your channel I have always sensed that you are someone who just tells like it is, either good or bad.
Cheers dude
Fair play mate buying another one to prove a point... 100% trust everything you say... well mostly 😂😂
Thank you for the retest. It is very helpful.
HPI was my very first hobby grade RC so while they were nostalgic for me, i could never bring myself to buy another one. after seeing Kevin's videos on how much of a shitshow the nitro trucks are it's only telling of the way they do things
Never doubted you for a second!
I wish my Wife would say that 😅
Don't hold your breath! @@TomleyRC
Big respect to to HPI for helping you out and to you for getting the other truck to make the point not sure why people get het up about top speed
I have the exact same car and I can confirm these speeds . I did think there was something off about three first one you reviewed . And don't worry , we can tell the honest reviewers from the hungry ones .
Good to know… I was pretty confident it was gonna be okay 👌
Your the guy for reviews, there’s almost no car you haven’t reviewed and honestly at that
I’ve certainly done a few!
i love the if it annoys you links. nice little touch lol
I trust you completely. I like your films and reviews.
We love modelsport such a good model shop! 😄
I have complete faith and trust in Basherbodies and the crew at the top of the RC industry who are testing products and making the hobby the best it can be. Working hard to bring the newest parts to the tube for everyone to check out.
Anyone who fits in this category. Which today is a lot of people. Them people are the ones who will make the best changes today that today needs to bring back.
Happy days And yes you are in that group of cool dudes Tomley
Keep up the great work. 👊😎
It's nice to have people you can trust in the hobby !
As a result of my trust in your reviews
I purchased an Arrma Vorteks Boost for my Granddaghter.
She has not looked back, and it has been upgraded to 4x4 brushless.
Many thanks
I wouldn't pay attention to the comments that are in your videos too much. Because everybody's got their own opinion and so on. And we both know that opinions are like butts. Everybody has one, some are bigger than others, and some even stink. I think you do an awesome job. And I think that you tell folks what you think about the products that you're being sent. You don't pull any punches if the product aint worth a you know what, then you say so. Keep making these videos, dude, I'm watching. I'll be here watching for as long as you're doing it. Like button energized and I'm already subscribed.
I like companies that take care of their customers and treat them fairly.
Tower Hobbies always did me right in the past. I mean it's been 20 years, but I went thru Tower Hobbies for support/parts/products. I never had any issues with anything they stocked or approved.
Agreed , HPI😊 i are a very good quality and reputable company with integrity. Will always buy from.
YESSSS!!! You are back doing the speed tests properly! Now that's how its done!
Well.. you say ‘back’ doing them properly, but I’ve never actually said it in the past 😉
@TomleyRC if you are sure! Sure matey 😉
I trust you, HarleyDesigns, SBC, DisciplineRC, 2FMRC, WestDesertWheeler, and DerbyCityRC. TheShop mini RC I like, haven't watched enough to know if I trust them entirely yet. Cape Crawlers seems like he pulls his punches on stuff that's not up to par a little, but he makes good videos. As far as companies Vanquish is the only one I trust to be straightforward about what their stuff is capable of. RedCat is doing their best to grow their trust and I applaud their efforts.
myself: usually buy something. see all the flaws and start improving/modify the living shiat out of it. 😅
Best thing to do
It still wouldn't pull the skin off a rice pudding though 😂😅😂
You got me here, thanks for the update. Cheers
look diff. channels, test and entertaining is what is all about. for myself kev' s and your channel top of the pops 😂 got an mini maxx and axial wraith. love that little funmakers. rc best hobby 👍👍👍
You've never been afraid to talk smack or clown on something you felt worthy of it.
You, Kevin T, Thunder RC and a few others but I for sure prefer non sponsored videos. Im critical of RC stuff I buy and break right away which is why I am sure I wont ever be sponsored. LOL That being said the vast majority of my fleet is stuff you and Kev have suggested.
Given the circumstances, I trust you. Put it this way, you could've easily faked the speed by using your own motor, and no subscriber here would be any the wiser.
Always love your reviews Phil they are always informative honest and obviously not sponsored. Keep up the great work mate and don’t worry about the odd hater. 👍🏼💪🏼🎯
I like hpi stuff I got 2 wr8 2 micro rs4s I did have the sprint 2 as well and I all so have the maverick rx car with as you know its done by hpi let's hope to see some more grate releases from hpi 👍
I think you have shares in HPI 🤣😂 You should do it as a live from when the postman delivers the box!!! 🤣😂 Probably one of the most trustworthy CZcamsrs out there Phil and no this is not another Tomley account... 😂
Haha… I’d exchange my shares for some of the old stuff they have in their stock room!
@@TomleyRC I reckon quite a few of us would mate.. 😆
There are levels of trust. Some CZcams "stars" have demonstrated through their reviews that they are "company men and women" who will promote a product with nothing but glowing praise, and I can trust those folks to give a biased review to promote their own self interests. I would give these folks a D level of trust. Mostly useless, but there might be some pertinent information
Then, there are CZcams stars such as yourself, who provide non-biased reviews that have earned a higher level of truthful trustworthiness. I'd give these lovely folks an A level of trust. A good star for you all!
I mean I'd have been happy with a B- .... but an A... thank you kindly :)
@TomleyRC Haha. You're welcome, but keep it up. Mid-term report cards are coming out soon 🤪
I'm confused by HPI. Had a terrible Maverick Quantum by HPI but really like the look of the jumpshot. Hpi spares seem cheaper than Maverick spares strangely.
I trust you as you come of as a very genuine person also really the only rc CZcamsr I’ll watch 🤣🤷♂️ also I left this comment before watching the whole thing I’m at work and have to go back inside before I get in trouble I’ll be back later 🤣
3:45 ... insert Leo meme... "He said it!""
"Look into my eyes can't you see they're open wide.....would I lie to you baby? Would I lie to you?" This video reminded me of my old 90s tune but like your trust statement at the end!! 🛻💨🏁👍
This industry is all names and finding those we can trust, does any company gamble their future as suggested? Surely not. I trust you Tomley , good honest reviews and there will be some issues occasionally, and HPI appear to want to fix this so as not to be known as untrustworthy and destroy their business. It's far too competitive a market and they are aware people share information like this, and it does the rounds quite quickly. Keep up the good work.
I think you really did well and gave HPI a second chance, which they deserved! They had a bit of bad luck (and bad QC, possibly) that they got portrayed poorly in your comparison video, it may or may not impact their sales of this model...
I think for all this CZcams trust thing, we all need to keep in mind that it is our own responsibility when we mailorder an expensive toy car, all the video reviews are just for guidance.
Anyway, I appreciate your efforts, dude!
I trusted you from the start!! I dont know why people wouldn't! Keep up the good work with the awesome videos!👌👍
Some people just don't have a clue. Even if you were sponsored by HPI, you'd still have given your honest opinion. Same goes for every other youtuber. If people were dishonest like that, they'd very quickly be found out and lose all their viewers
100% you when it comes to unbiased reviews, because you're not a sell out just to get free goods & £££s
Definitely from Modelsport judging by how safe it's packaged up 👍🏻,,
We need to see it with a brushless set up first
What I trust least is a cardboard box. LOL.
Haha
Well, my nearest RC hobby shop aren't even open when they say they are! I drove over there in the PM as the website said closing at 4. Sign on the door said closed from lunchtime! 🤦
I have never questioned your trustworthiness.
In Tomley we trust 🤗
You have to ask the question 'what is there to be gained from the video?'. For some its smashing everything up for clicks, others its sponsorhips so they have to appease a brand (not counting shops here, just the model manufacturers) and others its just for the fun of it. I think you and a couple of others i follow are in the latter, so all good for me.
Cheers Danny, I try and mix up a bit of fun in all the videos I make 👌
I trust you, Talbot, and maybe one more. One I have questions about is Mark Santa Maria. Way too big of a Traxxas fan boy and constantly getting new stuff from them and never had anything negative to say. Literally every platform has something negative to say, if you aren't saying it it's because you're being bought. Lol.
The sound of the pen on that box in the intro got me 🥴
Channels? I think you and Kevin are both great. Companies? Losi aaaaand Losi.
I genuinely don't trust people who are influenced by sponsors who can only give good reviews
great idea!..not that i had any doubt im a long time viewer and always look forward to your two cents
You run a great channel Phil I totally trust you.
Fantastic job, Phil! 😃
But don't worry, if we didn't trust you why would we be here? 😉
Anyway, stay safe there with your family! 🖖😊
In Tom we trust!
I only deal with red cat racing. I have never ever had a problemwith any of their vehicles out of the box and I bought 9 of them so Farand I have another one on order.
you know what i trust in rc, the tamiya quality and fun guarantee, are they cutting edge? maybe 20 years or so ago, are they the most complex and technical builds? maybe some are, the 2011 avante looks like a right old build.. pun intended, so, what does tamiya do better than anyone else? fun, fun and budget fun whilst scratching an itch for a build
I was needing some Tomley, a much needed break from yardwork & yes 35mph is the cutoff point, here. Not counting the wlt 989 Lil indoor cars.
35 is pretty good
I am very particular in not only which rc channels i trust, but also the reason why i watch them. There are 3 main channels that i value their opinions. Tomley, Gavin @ RcKicks, and Aaron @ Discipline Rc. They seem to tell it like it is instead of showing any bias. Another reason i may value another youtuber, is because they only run a specific class of rc car which gives them a vast amount of knowledge and experience to draw from. For example, if i want to more about mini crawlers, I'll watch CCXRC because thats pretty much all he does.
I'd say I'm good enough judge of character and I trusted that information.
This was unexpected! Why, because I trust you Phil.😊
😇🤘
Not you when your near a skate park with a mint in box Emaxx😅
Great follow up - shame that it's even needed tho. Do the Omni Terminator next?
I trust MR TRUST ( MR TOMLEY ) 🤣🤣🤣 . MODELSPORT is also one of my local RC shop in Leeds , amongst a few other modelshops in Leeds where i live 😁 😎 .
I personally appreciated this video. Thank you Tomley.
I was putting together a 1/8 buggy nitro from electro. Now I regret it because you fuelled the fire in me for a scale crawler. And atm I am thinking about scraping the project and going for a crawler build. I trust you.
I recon you scribbled on both motors 😅🤣🤣🤣🤣
On all 3 in fact 😅
@@TomleyRC
You know there is someone who screenshot that and comparing the scribbles! 🤦♂
@@TomleyRC 🤣🤣🤣
What would you say are best top 3 budget brushless combo s good brake we're reverse goes in after brake left and reverse is pressed again
I just got signed up. Thanks for putting out such great videos.
I trust you with my RC entertainment mate 🤝
My only HPI car is a Q32 F1 😅 it’s HPI branded, but I’m quite sure I’ve seen other brands with exactly the same chassis under their own name…
Ahhh but you didn't showing us you opening the bodyshell!
And you should have recorded your finger position on the controller.
And you should have tinfoil on your head? How do we know you're not being controlled???
and you should have wrapped the car in tinfoil too!!! Oh wait...
great video chap. I have had a hpi car. They might not win any races or being competitive but for an RC potato like me - they're awesome :)
