    Yes Alex! So cool to see you (and Violet) back making hobby videos - still proud to have appeared in one of the early ones! 😀😀

    • @Drive_On
      @Drive_On  Před 2 lety +2

      You’ve been a big inspiration James - thanks for dropping by 😎

    @rmdcade1717 Před 2 lety +14

    Alex is back! Missed seeing you on FT and the energy you brought. I've thought often about Drive On since the hiatus began. Personally I'd love to see mixed air and ground content, but it's understandable if you're burned out on anything that flies.

  • @wittpilot
    @wittpilot Před 2 lety +7

    Who cares what you are driving/flying, just glad to see some more content from you Alex!!

  • @SC-lm1dt

    YES! .... to adding planes and drones ...and kids having RC fun! Thanks for coming back into our lives Alex and fam :)

    to be honest im just glad to see ya and see that youre ok.lol it may sound a little strange but it felt like id lost a friend when you left FT, so yeah man its nice to see you getting violet into the hobby to help ensure that the future generations will still have the chance to enjoy everything rc. thanks for sharing man and welcome back to the greatest hobby there is

    Got an scx24 deadbolt a few months ago and just got my dad that same grey Chevy for Christmas. Glad to see some activity on the channel.

  • @bobtierney6946
    @bobtierney6946 Před 2 lety +8

    The Slash was introduced in 2008. It got the whole Short Course RC thing going.
    Do not worry about where your channel is going, just enjoy the ride and the hobby.

  • @sneekyfpv4124
    @sneekyfpv4124 Před 2 lety +23

    A channel for the R/C hobbyists who is introducing the younger generation to the hobby would be fantastic! Keeping the hobby alive by showing kids that it's more fun than playing video games.

    • @Drive_On
      @Drive_On  Před 2 lety +10

      thanks for watching! I love gaming tho - so much of who I am as a person is because of video games . Recently I’ve built a farm empire in Stardew Valley and at one point I was completing 15-20 games per year. Games often times brings me as much, if not more joy AND learning as the rc hobby. It’s also not weather reliant - something to think about :) If you like driving check out Forza or mudrunner if you are into flying check out Liftoff, DCL, Realflight, Microsoft Flight Sim, or if you have a Mac - Aerofly.

    • @matthewfallon2288
      @matthewfallon2288 Před 2 lety +1

      hell yeah, im a 13 year old who just recently found the hobby and im LOVING IT its way cooler than video games, and it gets you out there to meet new people and to have a good time
      !

  • @alexanderfaucher1619
    @alexanderfaucher1619 Před 2 lety

    Glad to see the return! So glad you came back to the hobby in a way that works for you and you can enjoy. I would love to see new content in a bunch of new areas:
    * Affordable ground vehicles
    * Long range adventuress / HD
    * Tiny Trak / DIY
    * 3d printed cars
    * Crawler track building
    * Maintenance and repair
    But do the thing you love and the audience will come!

  • @seddypsp
    @seddypsp Před 2 lety +1

    I can't believe it has been two years since the last video. Glad to see you back.

  • @travisrc1649
    @travisrc1649 Před 2 lety +1

    SO HAPPY to see this back, this channel and Flitetest inspired me to get back into RC and starting this channel to hopefully be able support the expenses of the hobby some day. Thank you! Excited for what’s to come.

  • @LiaIsTheCutestKitten
    @LiaIsTheCutestKitten Před 2 lety +6

    Wild to see another of your vids in the feed. Truly missed the videos

    • @Drive_On
      @Drive_On  Před 2 lety +2

      hell yea man i’ve dealt with the same on/off passion for the hobby. I’ve learned to just keep your stuff nice/operable.

  • @hydrojedi
    @hydrojedi Před 2 lety +1

    Great to see you back! We'll watch whatever you post.
    If Violet is like my girls she'd probably like to have a Tic Tac Toy RC channel!

  • @TylerKenepp
    @TylerKenepp Před 2 lety +1

    Great to hear/see from you again! Hope you're doing well! Looking forward to whatever this channel becomes!

  • @flegory
    @flegory Před 2 lety +1

    This channel was the first place where I saw FPV on a ground RC. Pretty cool stuff! I got a trx4 (blazer) based on your videos - hopefully I will add FPV to it one day. Glad to see you are back!

  • @verynick
    @verynick Před 2 lety +1

    Wow, I have never seen your videos like ever and you coming back now after 2 years (I checked lol) is very serendipity. I just got into RCs this year with 2021 Bronco, Slash, and Bandit. Can’t wait for your vids!

  • @ChrisDavis-eq9lj
    @ChrisDavis-eq9lj Před 2 lety +7

    Glad you're getting back into RC with us! I fly and crawl RC, and am down for it all. Have to say, check out the SCX6 when you get a chance. Like bigger flys better, it's next level squared.

    • @Drive_On
      @Drive_On  Před 2 lety +1

      I have a buddy who just got one - will have to check it out 👍 thanks for watching

  • @rotorismo
    @rotorismo Před 2 lety +1

    Hoover crafts are a nice step to flight related RC vehicles? I heard that ground effect vehicles are quite trending. 😉Anyhoo, it's nice to have you back at YT!

  • @SINIS0RSA
    @SINIS0RSA Před 2 lety +2

    I have a Traxxas Ford Raptor (based on Slash). Fully stock brushed setup. Still way too much fun to rip on gravel and snow. On snow I use the paddle tires and for a 2wd car it can really go through some serious snow if you give it some throttle!

    Just share your own hobby and enjoy life. No ‘popular’ items to boost the channel. I Have a slash 4x4. On 3s a monster. (Lots more breaking and fixing). You and Peter were the reason I enjoyed the flighttest channel most. They are on a different path now. Good to see that you and your Family is doing great!

  • @FreezyMcFly
    @FreezyMcFly Před 2 lety +1

    I bought the wltoys 959-b because of your video and that got me into the hobby. I'm excited for what's to come!

  • @CustomFPV
    @CustomFPV Před 2 lety

    Love it Alex! Glad to see the casual approach. Adds a lot of flavor. The cookie cutter review style videos that are edited and succinct sometimes lack that personality and genuine attitude that drives this hobby! Glad to see Drive On back up and rolling.... haha

  • @coreyfro
    @coreyfro Před 2 lety

    If you don't have space, Start kiddos out on the 1/16th bushed slash. It is quick and fun, but you can drive it more places, like playground and City parking lots. They are also indestructible!

    Welcome back man! I've watched you for many years on FT and happy to hear you've had the courage to start a new chapter. I recently picked up a Slash 4x4 vxl, TRX-4 sport, and a UDR..39yo feeling like a kid again. Your thoughts on the UDR really resonated with me, that was an awesome little series on that amazing truck. Looking forward to seeing you enjoy some personal hobby time.

    As far as the direction of your channel, as someone with kids growing up I’d love to see a video maybe about getting into RC Cars maybe? Like good to haves for entry level cars stuff, namely remotes you’re using and what cards are good for what, etc!
