Disgruntled RC youtube channel
rather than uploading videos in the "what have you done to your RC today" thread i figured id just start a thread dedicated to my channel.
i do videos on everything from Mini Z drifting (videos coming soon) to nitro TC's, to stadium trucks, to monster trucks, to some vintage stuff. 1/18 scale - 1/10 scale. i even fly a cheapo quadcopter and a couple small cheapo helicopters. you won't see any mega ramps, insane speed runs, or carnage. what you will see is an authentic look as to what it's like to be an RC enthusiast. bashing in the backyard, public parks, and parking lots. eventually some builds, repairs, maintenance, and body painting. and maybe the occasional update on my fleet of RC's that iv acquired over the last 25+ years.
to get this thread going here's a couple highlights and my most recent upload.
and as of the making of the thread, the most recent upload

a quick and pointless tire test. finally glued up some Proline Blockade 2.2 buggy tires and gave them a shot on thick grass. they worked pretty good. minimal wheel spin, you can actually hear the slipper clutch slip more than a few times.

not exactly a banger, but a valid attempt to run a mediocre car from 1998. this was my first hobby grade RC. i bought it back in April 1998. back when it was normal to buy a kit that came with plastic bushings, a silver can motor and mechanical speed control. im surprised it came with oil filled shocks. it hasn't come very far sense then. it's gone through a few brushed motors (currently equipped with a Tamiya Sport Tuned), a few electric speed controls (currently a Hobbywing Quicrun 1060), now has bearings, and a gearbox made up of ultima/optima parts. but the performance and mainly durability still aren't great.

built a spine ramp a couple weeks ago and finally got around to testing it. hit it with my Clodbuster, original RC10T, Wheely King, and SC10. it was hot out and that grass is thicker than it looks so i didn't run for very long. but...
