nice rc picks ans great information
No nonsense , no music , no bias , no time wasting . What a relief . Excellent.
You cant go wrong with a good short course truck, so versatile.
Thank you so much u opened my eyes so much better👀
Enjoyed 👊🏻👍🏻
This vid will save money for many people. well done
Excellent informative Video but you skipped a bit on Rock crawlers and my option and Trail Walking, concentrating on the 'boy racers'. I only use Nimh Batteries (my choice) and pairing them with a brushed motor a good idea. I have just bought a Axial SCX6 Honcho and am scrabbling around trying to find a NiHM Battery. Thanks from UK.
Nice info!
Hey Richie.
I know
Don't really like running rc around people in roads
So crawler or drift car inside or backyard course good for me .
Richie, You out did yourself with this video. VERY INFORMATIVE, VERY COMPREHENSIVE, REFEENCE GUIDE on the different types of RC vehicles for a veteran like myself and the novice RC enthusiast. Great Job! Outstanding!! Keep these type of videos coming. Well Done!!! I thought the video would be to long to keep my interest but I was captivated for the entire video. Keep it up. More please and thanks for providing and filling a void that others haven't been able to do the way you do it. Thanks again.
nice rc picks and great information
Get a tekno nb 48 2.0
All of them, that's the best way to be sure. 😉👍👍
Loving it
I live in the country and bought a limitless as my 3rd arrma, it was lots of fun but now it’s a rally build😂😂😂 love the vids great info👍🏻
Zac loving the rally limitless idea!
Fantastic overview.
Great video! I have been in the hobby since late 90’s. I had this thought last week. Hmmm. What to buy. I have everything. I bought a Cen f-450 and a Losi lasernut u4.
Hmm, Nitro huh. Losi 8ight will probably be your best bet and it is definitely one of the top nitros out the. The Traxxas T-Maxx isnt bad either but nowhere near the build quality of a 8ight. HPI savage isnt bad either.
Excellent video Richie!😎
That was great, you covered everything! Also I really like the new intro to your channel, it’s fresh and up to date! Everyone of your episodes just keeps getting better!
Very good tutorial Richie! You covered it all and did an excellent job doing so! And it’s so important that you concluded with the same most important question you started with… “where are you going to drive your new Rc Car?” That is the first and most important thing to know before buying. Hats off to you! That was awesome!
So glad to hear that on this one hopefully for once I nailed it on the head! Cheers mate! It's due to snow overnight so finally get to test my xmaxx paddle tires....well hopefully~
great video richie very helpful for noobs
Glad you think so!
Unrelated question, what's the best 8s charger you'd recommend? Idk if you'd pick another one from the one you've linked in previous videos
I’ve been subscribed to your channel for quite a while now Rich and I personally learned quite a lot about the hobby from your videos after being away from the hobby for a very long time….. this video will ultimately help any newbie that has no idea what RC to buy for their first model…. Great content Rich…. And thank you for your contribution to the hobby….☮️~~~~~Out! 👍🏻👍🏻
Awesome, thank you!
Don’t ask me why I watch all these “beginner” RC videos, when I’m not a beginner...maybe because there’re from my favorite RC YTers? Great video Richie, I’ll keep this one in mind for reference to any beginners looking for something like this.
My next buy will be a short course truck. the slash 4x4 ultimate is very tempting. Even if a bit more expensive, it's already fitted with most upgrades, so the end truck is probably cheaper this way than if you upgrade yourself. The other one I'm looking at but it's a bit big and expensive is the traxxas udr. That thing is awesome.
I have mini z to drift inside, it's a great car a bit expensive retail price but I didn't need to buy too many upgrades apart from a set of wheels with different offsets and some tires. So altogether the final build is still controlled and acceptable
I have the c10 scx24 to crawl on my mini course but I also take it along outside when I go crawling. The scx24 ends up being quite costly on upgrades and I still want and need to upgrade the esc and motor.... It really went out of hand and to think this mini truck will be worth around 550 dollars in the end... It's just not right
Im a bit tired of the 144001 because it always needs maintenance and breaks shafts and even if parts are cheap I don't use it so much anymore and with all the upgrades I've thrown in and I've converted it to a road buggy only running street tires. It's more of a shelf queen than anything now really...
I love my sg 1603. Super fun and cheap, nearly unbreakable, it's a great car just for me or to lend to friends and kids who have no experience. I totally trust it and recommend it, and just seeing the grin on their faces after the first minute proves it's fun for anyone. I would buy a second one just to be able to race it and it would be even more fun. I think the brushed version is more than enough, even though maybe the brushless version would maybe be better where I live and not heat as much. I need to order the new street tires which have come out. Totally recommended.
My trx4 sport is a fun trailer but upgrading it to make it crawl better is starting to be expensive. Just changing the wheels tires and foams sums up to half the price of the new car.... Changing the motor is not the most expensive though and the standard brushed motor it comes with is not that bad and behaves better now with the hobbywing 1080. I'll still need to change the body to make it perform better, something like a PL cliffhanger I guess
Last I have this love and hate relationship with my arrma typhon 3s. It's fun and fast but I'm really not convinced with the motor mount. At the same time it's meant to ease the maintenance, it's a weak point and calls for even more maintenance and I'll probably need to upgrade to an expensive m2c. Plus the shocks and turnbuckles always bend and also need to be upgraded to big bores and the stock servo only lasted 4 battery packs and the upgrade wasn't the cheapest because you also need to buy the extra servo arm from arrma to have the correct tooth count to use other brands of servos like my savox. I wouldn't buy it again and it would be the first car I'm ready to get rid off.
So in the end and back to my first point I think the slash 4x4 is the way to go for me
Does anyone know where the nearest RC anonymous meeting is lol 😆
Rc anonymous.com…oh I’m on it…
@@DriftomaniacsRC we live in the country , have rolling hills, have a straight paved road , a body of water , open fields and a full variety of weather so I guess we need them all!!!
@@hellorc7678 Hello , My name is "RC Enthusiast" and I'm an RC addict ( LOL) About 20 RC cars, drones, a plane.
@@diedrincoon2062 lol 😆 I think we have 17 crawlers a handful of bashers a couple 14th scale semis, a couple boats and a few other things. No planes or drones though 🤔. What are a few of your favorites you own?
Lol where did u find an sti hsp nitro?
Same dark cupboard as your comment as I don’t own a sti hpi nitro…..is that like some tool you use for sniffing out nitrous oxide laughing gas? If it is email Greg sopa at horizonhobby he’s hysterical
@@DriftomaniacsRC lmfaoo i just wish arrma would drop that long awaited 8s limitless already! And re vamp their 4s line thats an email for Greg but off course a Jake will reply to it like always! Haha
And i thought that was a subaru sti bodyshell on the on road hsp nitro you showed
Hey man! Im just curious, what wheels are those on ur xmaxx??
Power Hobby Belted tires more to follow!
Yo Richie! How far are you from Philadelphia? You know I'm trying to hang out at some point if you're not too far!!!! 😂 not a lot of us out there and it gets lonely 😂 you went from Jersey to California to Philly.
Hi contact me via the 'about' page on my homepage, be good to meet up
My vote for your buggy buy: 1/8 Scale Kyosho Inferno Neo 3.0. Or a Mugen. Or a Tekno. Each have been highly competitive for racing, and 1/8 buggies are a blast to watch and drive. They're IndyCars for dirt!!
Edit: And yes, the Traxxas trade-up program was fantastic for my Slash.
My only car as a kid was a Traxxas Rustler brushed. Besides having weak front A-Arms, the thing was fantastic for wherever I took it to run. Here's to stadium trucks!
I am swinging towards the Kyosho inferno as when I was a kid that was always the 1/8 buggy that dominated the world champs
I literally just spent my paycheck on a losi tenacity TT and couldn't be happier. I think that's the problem with getting into it is it's a rabbit hole lol too easy just to spend hundreds of dollars on extras
Love my Losi’s an fogcityrc on YT has some Losi gems. Best big air I’ve ever got is with my db xle. I am about to have a huge sell up to refresh things so give me some ideas I’m sat in ma barn and it’s snowing so you and anyone else? Fire away with ideas as 90% of my ideas come from you people
Picked up granite blx thinking itd blow oldschool kaiju out the water... WRONG ... I find myself wishing i grabbed a shredder 4s. Granite is just ... Kind of cookie cutter .. meaning u could put all the performance parts on your own chassis from wherever.. and probably be better off. The kaiju build quality is bettter than a traxxas bandit as well as the blx granite imo. All have garbage servos but the kaiju at least has some heft to it. I get heavier means problems usually, but to think that that bandit wouldnt take flight at 70mph is laughable. The plastic is crap EVERYTHING on it was crap... Except the motor. 😢🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬
nice flex lol
Not a bangood product don’t waste your money buy a proper rc car a known company is the best choice .
Banggood don't make anything (But Wltoys do) they're a reseller....Just like horizon hobby, and even your LHS, but does that mean you shouldn't buy from them?
Choosing the right RC? Easy stay away from Traxxas garbage; get ARRMA.
Traxxas customer service wait is 30 secs, Arrma / Horizon hobby is 45-60mins+.........
