Saved OLD RC cars from the Trash
When someone says they are throwing out some old RC cars ,there is always a small chance that within the package there will be RC car Gold.. I cant believe that friend of the channel Keiron was going to throw out all these cars. So glad he thought to get in touch.
Carl is an M chassis fanatic and he couldn't believe his luck when he opened this box to see an M03, MO5's and an MO7. Three of his favourites chassis.
This is rc treasure saved from the dump.
Who could throw out Tamiya treasures like this... to be fair I have thrown out my fair share of RC cars over the years.

How is Mark getting better at racing

There is no secret that racing faster cars is going to help your reflexes and enable you to find racing slower RC cars easier. We have spoken to several pro drivers and they all say the same thing. therefore Mark is now on a journey to become a better racer and he continues his LMP journey. He is already making plans to run an Awesomatix in the future www.awesomatix.net/ We head back to Wycombe...

Old RC car track - hidden in the woods
Does the servo make a difference? If it does what is the optimal torque for the chassis?
Regarding motors, i made a flywheel dyno in 87, many years before they were sold, i told no one and tested many things, like reluctance vs rpm/torque, brush compounds/cuts/serated, spring tension, bushing/bearing oil, arm config, comm drops (and a hidden reservoir in the brush), to name some. I was cutting comm's long before it was the norm. Since i did not want to bring and show my lathe, i would prep 3 to 5 motors (1 for each run)
Nice you lucky boy . Send one to me with the bits I’ll build one up for you . I have a spares to
That is an awesome gift! Definitely keep that guy on your Christmas card list. I like the M chassis cars too. Have fun with those!
Super generous
Wow, what a box of bits, that is totaly awesome! If you don't want the M07 and conversion kit I'll take them😜😜
Already started work on them
M chassis is my favorite too, we have four M-03 mini's between me and my brother that we race with our kids casually when we get together, great characteristics that scale down so well.
Junk.
One man’s junk is another man’s treasure
At 4:13 the double left, mark is a mile wide, easily losing about ~0.2 seconds in just them turns. You have to hit the marks (a few inches from the dots) consistently, for the whole run. Look at your lap times, and how consistent they are, they should be ~0.1 lap to lap (toss them into excel and plot them, your mistake will pop out at you). If you into improving your driving, My favorite book of all 30+ racing (setup/design/driving) books I have is: The soft science of road racing motorcycles, it teaches high speed thought, and it works, its about $5 used on ebay. A motorcycle you need to pay attention to 5 things during racing, cars is only 2, very easy to apply this book knowledge to rc cars (compared to racing motorcycles). My favorite is 12th scale (rc12lw) carpet on a tight track, 480 seconds and finish your lap, the good tracks we were doing more than 600 turns in a race, got to be consistent. I have 280+ A main wins, a handful nationals and 2nd at the worlds, I quit in 2004 and did PC sim (not arcade) online racing for 11 years.
Great advice Will take a look
The Tamopoly F1 was the largest rubbish in my 2+ decades racing (12th, 10th, sedan). The T-Bar even (level) with the chassis produced zero rear grip (competition wise), they had zero Idea of rear roll couple , the whole overpriced plastic pos was pure rubbish. Every mod I made to my F103 was banned at the Tamopoly track in California, why, it smoked the stock rubbish. After all the banning, you could only run their trash (including their sht tires) on their track, the Tamopoly name was born, they owned it. They only got good cars when they copied everyone else, pretty sad for a company that big with that kind of resources.
Would be cool to see your opinions on the new yokamo RS 1.0 it’s an entry level car as opposed to their top of the range MS 1.0
😮 thats a kind donation to the channel! If you did want to offload any, i would love a popalong tuned M05 to take to my local club.. would be absolutely the talk of the club! Australia needs some popalong presence!
Maybe one day we can Popalong
Well, as far as i'm into RC hobbyst since kid, my first rc is Singaporean Nikko rc, at that time, they are quite nice. As at that time Kyosho is too expensive for my parent salary. Kyosho came first to my country, even at that time Tamiya model already get in, but none of the seller or shop brought tamiya yet. I just got into Tamiya when i was at age early 30, worked as expatriate. Then my money enough to get into serious rc hobby. But why i am into Tamiya? It was simple answer, that time Tamiya RC very popular in country i worked for. It was difficult back then to search rc like Traxxas or Kyosho in that country. And if they are there, i don't think i would buy either. As Tamiya more fun to build 😂
What a haul! I do love used RC job lots and projects. Very nice! I like the idea of the M-chassis cars, but never had one.
A favorite class here at Popalong
@@PopalongRC So I see! Not much up where I am, unfortunately!
Recycling cars is the same as saving the planet. Im sure you have done this for all of humanity. When you pulled out the third car I was thinking "you are a dead man"
Hahahaha
I just build my first one. I had a great time! As a noob im really really happy with the tt02. Maybe some upgrades in the future
Wow, I can't believe that he was going to throw those cars away!!😵
We have all had those clear outs where we think it is a good idea to get rid and we are encouraged by the wives
Love your videos your definitely in bother mind! I hope someone else sends you a few as well! And you can video the explanation to the wife
You’re making me nervous
It'll be more of a problem if you guys ever break up and you're left with half your rc's that she didn't contribute to meanwhile nagging you about every single one! Don't make her any false promises cause if she truly loves you, she'd love you have a hobby you're so passionate about.
Noooo
Have you been in kelvin Turbott's bin again?
Restraining order in place
Nice donation to the channel. Many people probably have boxes of old RC stuff lying around that they are unsure what to do with. Hopefully we could have an RC Auto Jumble at the Popalong GP for us all to buy sell or swap I'm sure that some of the stuff I have knocking about might be useful to someone rather than taking up space doing nothing with me
We are looking into it
Still got my boys M03 sitting in the garage, been there donkeys now.
Love the M03 Favorite of all
Blazing Blazer
Your down sizing but up cycling. 😎😎😎
Upcycling is my new game
What is the meaning of Popalong?
We popalong to places🤷♂️🙄
@@PopalongRC gotcha
🤣😂🤣😂🤣10 more cars …… OUTSTANDING ……..🍻you better sort them all out not have them laying around wife will be really upset 🤣😂😂🤣🤣😂🤣🤣🤣
Don’t know where to start
😂 I’ve more projects than you can wave a stick at ! Know where your coming from 😂😂
Never, ever do I find gems like this. Nothing like some post you see: "Look what I found on marketplace for $5" *attaches picture of 25 x gold pan RC10's, a Tamiya Bruiser, Tamiya Blazing Blazer and a Works 95 YZ10*
Crazy luck for some
Great video and wow what a nice little box of goodies..
Cheers blue Nice set of toys
RIP Carl.......
What a result that was !! Anyway you cant down size until you have up sized !!😂😂
True
Xmas has come early and now you can take your wife to a nice dinner for once since you saved a few quid 😂
Hahaha
Result 👍👍👍
Too good
Well technically you are downsizing. An M-Series chassis is smaller. And all those cars came to the house in one box. Usually you only get one car per box. Think of all the space you saved!
Not to mention recycling of packaging
I think when you said you were downsizing, you meant you were decreasing your desire to increase in your collection, like the government saying they're going to cut spending by decreasing the planned increase. ❤🧡💛🤍 Limit yourself to one racer for each class? Limit yourself to one class with lots of racers? Occasionally, make two racers, but leave one with the club sponsoring the race? Use it or Lose it? I hope you find a solution that works for you and your family
Equilibrium is a fine balance
Hahaaaa.....The struggle is real!
Hard times
Still rocking the backwards Tamiya shirt I see.
Don’t know what your talking about …. Can’t see any labels
Weren't they given to you. You need to ask your wife to downsize what she has that , you don't like.
True
I like the first two Suzuki cars you took out of the box, but that mini is something else, absolutely amazing car. 😊😊😊
Mini is great addition
That's a wonderful box of stuff you have there, nice one Carl. It's good of you to donate to the club too.
That’s the plan just need to find the time
Wow what a amazing gift, and doing a club car is a great thing to do 😊. I bought a Mo7 concept yesterday and running gear for a second hand team associated rb10 b6. My pockets are empty but I'm over joyed 😂. Your wife maybe a little miffed,but what you guys do for the hobby is amazing. My friend died recently and talking to the guys at my club brought up men's mental health and how the hobby is such great thing for that. Thanks again for everything you do ❤
This has been a thing to keep us level headed
10 cars in 2 weeks is a good few weeks lol
I’m in trouble with the wife hahaha
I’m thinking of getting a M chassis car what you think is the best one to get? 1 for lipo’s and for hop ups?
Mo7 concept is the way to go 👍
@@jamieboness6363 depends on what you plan to do with it. If it's for racing it will depend on where you want to race and their local/championship rules. For just building and playing around with then the M05 is great, better than the new MB01. For racing the M07 is miles ahead of the earlier Tamiya Mchassis cars. But if you're not limited to Tamiya then there are far better options again.
Adam knows his stuff
Very nice haul. Remember, it's only a problem if you admit it is. Never underestimate the power of denial.
Like the mindset
😲 as far as problems go, this is a nice problem to have. Some nice bits in there, should be 3 or 4 good little runners once sorted.
A couple of projects that is for sure
Your Wife will be so pleased, more RC cars in the house
It’s not gone down well
The Formula 1 car you bought is totally legit! Unless, of course, you bought more than one? 🤣

Some racing should be made to scale in terms of speed and acceleration. A combination of added ballast (or heavy chassis) and reduced power might best produce an accurate effect.
Haha, bitten by the bug!! To be honest, I'd love an F1 car, being an F1 fan from when I was a wee lad, but I've got nowhere to run it locally so I can't really justify it. I can't wait for some F1 content soon!!
Ants got a few more in his garage fyi
F1 yessss. Please super impose your head on George Russell body when he's does his intro pose for the f1 coverage. I can hear the music now.
