Keep up the amazing work Glen. Take a break, don’t overextend yourself. People want to see the passion you bring to the hobby,so if it takes time who cares.
Hit the wall? Smash it down Glenn! Smash it down!! haha! Seriously we all hit the wall its natural and healthy and definitely inevitable! I totally respect you guys doing this its on UA-cam its tough! We all have passion for this hobby but even passion needs a recharge every now and again! I love this hobby and always will but naturally it became hard to keep running sometimes! Summer will help as some running can go on to boost enthusiasm! I feel you should combine the two channels in the future buddy to make things easier and continue on UA-cam how about...Tamiya Legends & past Legends! I will say remember its a hobby and not a show! Enjoying it is key and l rather we continue to see you once in a while then not at all...l feel like you are my friend my hobby buddy lol but we have not ever talked, well not face to face anyway! The Wall is natural don't see it as a problem it will come and go is my experience but l have never fallen out of love with the hobby when that day comes it will be natural too but lets hope its not for many many years to come! Bloody hell l was 10 years old when l first fell in love with this hobby and to still love it is crazy! Its a powerful hobby! Glenn we watch you because you love the hobby as we do and that's always enough! Cheers my hobby friend.
Glenn, I have always been amazed at how much content you put out, two videos a week in this hobby seem crazy to me with the amount that is involved in building, painting etc. Especially painting as that takes me ages letting paint go off, especially in winter. Consumers of content don't know the effort involved and it's not their fault but 'till you do it you don't know. I really struggle for time a single parent with custody trying to make ends meet all the time. I have decided to put out content when I can but to make it a better quality video as I have started enjoying video editing as a second hobby. The real bonus for me is the community, I have been isolated for so many years bringing a child up alone without any family or friends around the community has really helped my mental state. Your channels have been a real catalyst for me and I appreciate all the video's, every green content. Your love of the hobby has really given so many of us the buzz we had as kids but on a different level as adults. I know we have spoken about this already but I really do think it would be awesome to have a video Podcast with you and Keith chatting about RC, once a month for fun as that would be a great opportunity to put icing on the cake of all the content you have done. You could even reference the video's etc. Anyway, thanks for everything always 👍
No pressure buddy. Do it because you want to, not because you feel you need to. We all hit the wall from time to time. I get overwhelmed with just the massive task of putting my collection together. It will literally take a decade.
I actually think I’ve finally realised that my collection display is going to take a year or two to finish (finish lol) are they even finished 😅 But that realisation has actually helped me 😅
I completely understand the burnout feeling you get from time to time! It does make it difficult to sit down in front of the camera and force yourself to do something you are not 100% feeling.
You might think nobody wants to watch you talk about your journey, but we appreciate your honesty and we all have similar struggles. You are doing the right thing by making UA-cam follow your hobby rather than your hobby being a slave to UA-cam. Kia Kaha from New Zealand!
Glenn, i cant imagine how hard it is to work full time & make 2 videos a week. I agree that when you stop enjoying the hobby, you need to take a break. Im sure RC Legends will continue, even if you take a 6 month break from the channel. People view your content not just for the hobby, but for you. People like you & watching you document your cars. Fantastic achievement, be proud Glenn🎉
Recharge mate, Nothing worse than burnout in any profession even if it's a hobby or just for fun. Your audience will still be waiting for your content on either channel. Thank you for helping us all have that 20 or 30 minutes of nostalgia when your videos go out. I think I speak from all of us when I say we appreciate all your hard work and passion and do NOT feel guilty for having time off!
This is a hobby first man. I think that if you are taking it to another level and it’s becoming more than just that you’ll get burnt out real fast and you’ll loose the enjoyment. This being a hobby means it’s meant for a source of relaxation and comfort. Keep up the hobby and do it for yourself. Keep up the good work.
Take my hat off to you Glen i can appreciate how much effort you put just for us viewers. I completely get where your coming from i feel the same sometimes. Do what is right for you. You have a fantastic collection well done Glen 👏👏
I’m with ya Glen, I feel that a lot of us take breaks. One reason has to be straight necessity. It’s not feasible for most to be spending all this money with no end in sight! I have other hobbies as well that take my time. Then there is always family and friends that want your time too. I’ve taken some massive breaks, like I missed lipo’s and brushless when it was released into the main stream. This truly is the never ending hobby.
I really admire the way you share your collection with everybody but if you need to slow down or take time out, that’s ok because when you try to do too much you will suffer from burn out. Your only human my friend. The main thing is that you enjoy the hobby and continue to have fun doing it. 🇦🇺
Glenn, please don’t take this the wrong way, I’ve enjoyed your videos for ages now, obviously Tamiya legends and more recently RC legends. No one is waiting for you to upload videos - and if people are putting pressure on you, ignore them. Just release videos when you do them! If it’s once every six months or a year then that’s what it is, you don’t have to close down the channel. There will always be cars that you either get sent or that you are interested in. Don’t worry about releasing every week. You’re absolutely right about doing the hobby only when you feel like it - people understand mate. Take care dude 👍
G'day Glenn yeah I've been in and out of the hobby for 35 40 years you got me back in to it after a couple of years off. I hope you can get your spark back mate you tube will die with out you mate❤
I started this hobby in 2018 and have watched all of your videos since. Even went back to the OLD school ones. CO VID gave us little option but to dive deeper into home hobbies and your channel gave us inspiration, tips and entertainment during that crazy few years. Now that we are all back to work and our lives are busy it's hard for us to spend solid time on our projects too. We are very thankful for all of your hard work and cost for us. We are also thankful to Keith for his sponsorship and now his video series. We don't expect you to drop videos the way you did pre-employment but we hope you can grace us every once in a while in the future. Cheers, Jeffrey Gillan
Please, whatever you do, keep making videos and putting them out there, I enjoy every single one of them. I can understand the whole 'hitting a wall' thing, it happens to all of us at some point, and if you don't feel like doing videos every week then don't, do them as and when you feel like doing them. I love your videos, always have, it was you and Gav at RC Kicks who got me back into the RC hobby a couple of years ago, and it would be a massive shame to lose you mate. you are one of my favourite watches on UA-cam, long may that continue!! Take care!
I get where you are coming from Glenn. Since covid started I have been doing nothing but RC's and after 13 cars...I'm kinda done for now. The only kit I could build in a heartbeat is a Juggernaut, but I can't find one anywhere. So, the rest will do me good until I get that "childhood feeling" again.
Glen you are not alone. I had a collection of 60+ assembled kits (mostly Tamiya), and had major burn out. I really regret moving 90% of the collection on since some were really rare. Now, a few years later I'm back to slowly building another collection. I am on purpose limiting my builds to only a few kits a year. Like you said in the video, you don't want the hobby to feel like a job.
Can only say I really appreciate the inspiration and enjoyment both your channels provide. I can't imagine what the pressure to produce content is like but its easy to understand it might take the buzz out of it to say the least. There's certainly no point being a slave to youtube. Life is too short! So if it's stopped being fun, just stop - I'm sure the itch will come back and I'll be waiting to see what RC goodness you have to share with us, no matter how long it takes! 😀👍
I think it's the long winter that messes me up🤔 but I've gotten out to the track twice now and it sure is fun just sending it! Come drive my ebuggy Glenn, it's medicine 😜🙏🤞
Glenn, thanks for sharing open and honest context once again. I hit the wall and been up against it for >6 mos now. I’m wondering when the spark will come again. Nice to know you and others have been through the same. Don’t fret over the release timing of your videos. We’ll get the notification when they come. Better to into the builds then forcing them. Your enthusiasm is part of what makes them great.
Hey Glenn! without sounding like persuasion to keep running both channels, -thanks for what you have done, it's been great! Hit the wall myself last year & didn't do a single RC thing for all of 2022. All the best Dude! :)
Winter can have a serious effect on the mind. When you can get those cars out for a proper run and you'll fall in love with it all again. You've just burnt yourself out building awesome cars and awesome content. A change of pace will clense your mind.... take care my friend and happy (driving) rc'ing ...😀
I completely understand where you are coming from. I was out of the hobby for almost 3 decades. I got back into it 3 years ago. Last year around the summer I started slowing down on kit building. Now I am focusing on building up a backlog of kits to build when I am in the mood for it.
I love the retro stuff. just make videos of you enjoying and running the vehicles, it'll re invigorate you and its something that alot of people will watch. Anyway love your videos. Remember to enjoy what you have because once you die and go to heaven they stay here lol
Happy birthday RC legends 😁👍👊. I've hit the wall once or twice lol, and sold all my cars and RC stuff then after a few years regretted it big time. I have now doubled the amount of new Rc's lol and have just built a tt02 and a ta07 pro with all the blue n carbon bling🤣. One thing I've learnt is not to sell next time 🤣👍👊👍.
Yeah Glenn I think we all go through the ups and downs of rc😊 sometimes you have that fire in your stomach and just want to wrench all day long and then as quick as you like you just can’t be bothered and then you’ll see something or read something about rc and it inspires you to get back into it again🙂 I’ve been like that for all my adult life but the hobby always comes back into my life and it will with you! And you will always get support because what you do is superb and and always will be 👍
Well done on the first year. Yeah don't overdo it or stress yourself out. I'll still be here when the vids come out. That 'I don't want to buy any more cars' kinda hits home. I'm in the same boat more or less, famous last words though. I've been looking for/at Hirobo Tomcat/Bearcats. Hard to find, and dang pricy, so it'll have to wait. All the best Glenn.
All good, burn out is a problem with any hobby. Plus we can always go to past videos for our RC fix 😄. If you really want to go nuts with a project check out the TRX4M. Got 1 and it's fun to run indoors. BUT BEWARE THE MODS. And for your own sanity don't start with the Arrma Infraction.... the price of tires alone will make you cry 😢.....and smile while you burn them up😅.
I know exactlly what you mean, ive not got there just yet, but came close. For me its getting cars ready to race, when its a big vintage weekend away then the rush is there, see people i hardly see, see the cars, chinwag with them, have a cracking friday night and a chilled sat night. Im looking forward to seeing the lazer done, and hopefully getting mine on track next month 👍
Great honest video Glenn! It’s totally understandable that all that pressure takes it’s toll eventually. You obviously love the hobby but you need to keep a balance between life and the hobby. I think everyone will understand if you’re not feeling it every week and don’t get a video out. We will all just appreciate the videos that you do put out, when you can. Your videos are what got me back into the hobby 2/3 years ago. I love your passion for the hobby, but looking after yourself definitely comes first! Take care
You did a lot for the hobby my friend. You got me back into rc-ing again....and I never thought I would. It needs to be a hobby and stay a hobby. Just do your thing mate, I'm sure the people following understand where you are coming from....I know I do. Your video's always put a smile on my face, even if it's 20 minutes and 1 second of waffling...😂...once a week, or two weeks, or whenever. 👍👍
Enjoy all your videos and the information you bring to the hobby! You inspired me to add some cars and trucks to my small collection and how it takes me back to being a kid when these kits were coming out in the 80’s. Keep up the great work👍🏻
Greetings, Glen. Your video you talked about going away from the hobby and then coming back, I've been out of the hobby for about 10 years now and about a month and a half ago a guy at work and I were talking about RC cars and I started looking around and don't you know I ended up buying a re re Kyosho Optima Mid. You're so right!, You can fall out of the hobby for a while and then for whatever reason you get the bug again. Great video my friend, keep the great videos coming! BTW, I also watch your videos on Tamiya Legends. Cheers mate.
Congratulations! Please keep showing us all the classic RC’s if I could request that you also show some of the magazines from the time that would also be awesome!
No pressure mate sounds like you need a break bro. I bought 5 new cars just before Christmas all i've built is Block head motors Wild one. You inspired me to build again mate 👍
Hi Glenn, know how you feel with the RC wall. I hit it about 6 months ago the Lazer ZX sport I have for restore has been sitting built just needs the body cutting out and painting. I have not touched it since before Xmas. keep doing what you feel you want to do as long as you are getting enjoyment from the hobby. You have given so much to the Hobby over the last few years. Without all your hard work i know I would not have the collection of cars I have today.
Congrats on 1 yr anniversary! Keep up the great work and videos that you do! Local track opening up soon and I can help you with some running videos there. I have a X-ray xb2-2020 coming your way and also the Willspeed ld for videos!!!
I'm new to the Hobby and youtube your channel helped with the itch.. Thank you for all the content and I am sure you will be recharged before you know it..👍
Well done on your anniversary 👌 would a shame if you did stop. I'm sure you could revisit old car favorites of yours or get people to chime in on what they'ed like to see 👌
Thanx Glenn. It was always a pleasure to watch the videos. Hope ur comeback will be soon. Maybe with some old nitro cars of Kyosho, Mugen , Parsec and others.
Hey Glenn - It’s all good!! Do you whatever you want to do. Your channels are awesome and when something new is up, it’s a treat - you don’t owe anyone anything! I rewatch older ones, newer ones - whatever takes my fancy. Do they ever run RC monster truck days at the track? That would have some great comedy!🙂
We’re almost to 1k subs, I just started working a second job, Grayson started 2 baseball teams and motivation to make videos is running low right now.. I totally get it.. I will say when you don’t put out a video, I truly miss them
Hi mate it’s nice to get a look behind the scenes and nice to find out more about you and your motivation. I love the Hobby and I like to make You tube videos but what gets me down is when I don’t get many views. Some time like you I find some time you do the videos for for the people than your self . I will all ways watch and look forward to your videos. It was you and RC sparks that got me back into the Hobby.
There's a lot of us and I hope I'm not speaking out of turn. But alot that look forward seeing what u got going on with the hobby. But either way. Best of luck with whatever u decide
Hey Glenn... Burnout is just part of being human my friend. Don't forget to cut yourself some slack my friend. The hobby is always there for us, right?
Love watching your videos but I’m sure everyone understands we all need a breather every now again mate I can only imagine the time and hard work that goes into your videos I personally could wait one week or three weeks or even a month to catch up the main thing is that you yourself are enjoying what you do 👍
Thank you Glenn. You are an inspiration and it’s because of you I returned to the hobby after a break of 30 years. Take a break and enjoy your life outside of RC, there’s more to life. We’ll wait for you! Thanks for everything
Congratulations on the year anniversary 🥳… I totally get hitting the wall, sometimes it feels like a full time job just vacuuming all the dust off them never mind actually doing work on them! Glass cabinets are a must when time and money allows 👍
Sounds so familiar, I'd not built anything for nearly a year, bought a couple of rtr buggies, but that was it. Then last week I decided to build a kit, I had a Plasma edge 2 that had sat there since last January, I'm adding a few blingy bits to this basic kit and I'm really enjoying it. I watched your build and the difficulties applying the decals, I've made a note how you did it. Keep up the good work, being honest I couldn't produce videos.
Thank you again for all the awesome content. I’m with you on burnout . I’ve really gotten into crawlers 1/24 & 1/10 . Seems like whole industry is kind of hitting lull
I go through way too many highs and lows within the hobby. I did my first bigger indoor race recently, and actually enjoyed it a lot. Not taking it as seriously as I used to. Grabbed an electric off roader to go race when the outdoor season starts. I agree with you about the weather, it snowed quite a bit out here this week, so that kind of puts me off doing anything RC. Got a Rock Socker sitting here next to my Optima Mid, both unbuilt, so I’m hoping when Spring arrives it brings some enthusiasm for both of us 😃
Hi Glenn you're intitaled to take a break I've got various models myself cars, buggys and trucks and trailers myself you can only do so much 😀 😄 Mike.....
Hi Glenn, cheers for doing this video , really needed to hear all of what you said, a lot of it I completely agree on as well so it’s helped hearing it from another persons mouth :) I’ve been really struggling since late Nov/Dec last year. I hope I can also get my head around the ‘it’s ok if I don’t release a video mentality’ cheers again your a Gent, much respect.
My favourite phrase “I’m not going to buy any more kits but them Tamiya releases the BBX and Boomerang” The Incident build is going to be amazing, I’d love to build something like that. If there is no Sunday video what do I watch when I have my after lunch cuppa tea & cake?
Whatever you do with the channels people who also upload content will know why and also understand. Even if you dropped it to one video every week by alternating the channels. The 'wall' definitely gets hit quite a bit so when I have enthusiasm I also try to build up content.. hope the weather changes soon so you can get out there and run a few...
Hi Glen, I always wondered if you only did just UA-cam. I would imagine it is pretty hard to work full time and also have a UA-cam channel too. I sometimes I sometimes feel burned out with RC stuff and need to take a break. So, I understand what you mean. Maybe you could release content less frequently to avoid feeling burned out. Thoughts?
1Well, I always said there's a reason to keep a hobby a hobby, and not make a hobby into work. Making videos is a lot of hard work, and it's not fun when you end up becoming a victim to your own success. UA-cam very much rewards quantity instead of quality, which is the exact opposite of what most of us want. The expectations and obligations inevitably get the best of you, and you begin feeling weighed down and consequently buried. A hobby that once brought you joy, brings you down instead. It's not fun. That being said, I absolutely have enjoyed every single video here on RC Legends, and I do hope you decide to revisit this channel with renewed vigor at some point -- but not on account of your passion for the hobby. In the meantime, don't worry about us! We'll be here -- or in the Facebook group!
Please do some dirt track running videos of the trf cars !!! pretty please btw its you who is the RCLegend along with the great cars companies have put out over the years
Im always hitting the wall I go 12-18 months with no interest then I will suddenly get the urge again. I built 4 kits at Christmas and haven't touched anything since and before that it was probably 12 months when I built the original body for you.
Different world now, all you need is a pre-arranged job to get a 3-year visa for Canada now. Get it done in a few months with a government agent. I had to wait 1 year, like you.
I think everyone hits a wall if you stay in a hobby long enough, but I think watching your videos it comes across that you are true to the hobby and it’s not a business. That’s why over 30000 subscribers watch your videos week end and week out . Just stay true to who you are. That’s what makes you’re channels special. Whatever you post whenever you post we will enjoy and be happy with . The Rc bug becomes infectious after watching your videos.
Keep up the amazing work Glen. Take a break, don’t overextend yourself. People want to see the passion you bring to the hobby,so if it takes time who cares.
Thanks buddy 😇👊🏻
Hit the wall? Smash it down Glenn! Smash it down!! haha! Seriously we all hit the wall its natural and healthy and definitely inevitable!
I totally respect you guys doing this its on UA-cam its tough! We all have passion for this hobby but even passion needs a recharge every now and again!
I love this hobby and always will but naturally it became hard to keep running sometimes!
Summer will help as some running can go on to boost enthusiasm!
I feel you should combine the two channels in the future buddy to make things easier and continue on UA-cam how about...Tamiya Legends & past Legends!
I will say remember its a hobby and not a show! Enjoying it is key and l rather we continue to see you once in a while then not at all...l feel like you are my friend my hobby buddy lol but we have not ever talked, well not face to face anyway!
The Wall is natural don't see it as a problem it will come and go is my experience but l have never fallen out of love with the hobby when that day comes it will be natural too but lets hope its not for many many years to come! Bloody hell l was 10 years old when l first fell in love with this hobby and to still love it is crazy! Its a powerful hobby!

Iol brilliant ain't it!
I completely understand the burnout feeling you get from time to time! It does make it difficult to sit down in front of the camera and force yourself to do something you are not 100% feeling.
Yeah and I learnt the hard way if you force it, it shows on the video 🤕👊🏻
Yeah respect to you YT guys, make sure the hobby comes before YT though Addam is my top tip!
You have indeed contributed so very much to the hobby. I can say with much confidence that we all appreciate it!!
Thank you 😊
You might think nobody wants to watch you talk about your journey, but we appreciate your honesty and we all have similar struggles.

Never any pressure you just do what works for you and that works for us! 🇬🇧🇬🇧👍👍
It matters to us Glenn because it makes our weekend!!!
ive been in the hobby 40 years and definitely had my times where i was more involved than others
I’m with ya Glen, I feel that a lot of us take breaks. One reason has to be straight necessity. It’s not feasible for most to be spending all this money with no end in sight!

Love both channels Glenn and you should give yourself a massive pat on the back for all your hardwork 🤩👍🏅🏅
Your channels are my favorite.
G'day Glenn yeah I've been in and out of the hobby for 35 40 years you got me back in to it after a couple of years off. I hope you can get your spark back mate you tube will die with out you mate❤
The museum is looking great
Congratulations on the first birthday! Lots of respect for all the time you put in this and the Tamiya channel.
Thank you 😊

Thanks buddy 😇👊🏻
The work you have done Glen is epic it really is.. you have definitely spoilt us that’s for sure!!!.
Thanks Darren 😇👊🏻

I think it's the long winter that messes me up🤔 but I've gotten out to the track twice now and it sure is fun just sending it! Come drive my ebuggy Glenn, it's medicine 😜🙏🤞
Actually I’d not thought about the long winter my friend! Yeah that definitely doesn’t help lol 😂
Glenn, thanks for sharing open and honest context once again. I hit the wall and been up against it for >6 mos now. I’m wondering when the spark will come again. Nice to know you and others have been through the same.
Don’t fret over the release timing of your videos. We’ll get the notification when they come. Better to into the builds then forcing them. Your enthusiasm is part of what makes them great.
Hi glenn. Hope you dont stop the vids completely. Me nd my lad have watched you for years. Hope the passion comes back. Happy rc'ing buddy
Hey Glenn! without sounding like persuasion to keep running both channels, -thanks for what you have done, it's been great! Hit the wall myself last year & didn't do a single RC thing for all of 2022.
All the best Dude! :)
Never boring Glenn. In this crazy world, I love watching chilled out things. Keep up the great work, it really is a great escape. Thank you.
Thanks Keith 😇👊🏻
Winter can have a serious effect on the mind. When you can get those cars out for a proper run and you'll fall in love with it all again. You've just burnt yourself out building awesome cars and awesome content. A change of pace will clense your mind.... take care my friend and happy (driving) rc'ing ...😀
I completely understand where you are coming from. I was out of the hobby for almost 3 decades. I got back into it 3 years ago. Last year around the summer I started slowing down on kit building. Now I am focusing on building up a backlog of kits to build when I am in the mood for it.
Excellent and sounds like a good plan 😎👊🏻
I love the retro stuff. just make videos of you enjoying and running the vehicles, it'll re invigorate you and its something that alot of people will watch. Anyway love your videos. Remember to enjoy what you have because once you die and go to heaven they stay here lol
chuffed for you fella, always enjoyed your video
Thanks Robert 😎👊🏻
Happy birthday RC legends 😁👍👊.
I've hit the wall once or twice lol, and sold all my cars and RC stuff then after a few years regretted it big time.
I have now doubled the amount of new Rc's lol and have just built a tt02 and a ta07 pro with all the blue n carbon bling🤣. One thing I've learnt is not to sell next time 🤣👍👊👍.
Haha oh yeah I know all about selling a collection or two lol 😂
Yeah Glenn I think we all go through the ups and downs of rc😊 sometimes you have that fire in your stomach and just want to wrench all day long and then as quick as you like you just can’t be bothered and then you’ll see something or read something about rc and it inspires you to get back into it again🙂 I’ve been like that for all my adult life but the hobby always comes back into my life and it will with you! And you will always get support because what you do is superb and and always will be 👍
Thanks Phil 😇👊🏻
Well done on the first year. Yeah don't overdo it or stress yourself out. I'll still be here when the vids come out.
That 'I don't want to buy any more cars' kinda hits home. I'm in the same boat more or less, famous last words though.
I've been looking for/at Hirobo Tomcat/Bearcats. Hard to find, and dang pricy, so it'll have to wait.
All the best Glenn.
Yeah I’m hoping nothing more cool is released this year lol 😂
All good, burn out is a problem with any hobby. Plus we can always go to past videos for our RC fix 😄. If you really want to go nuts with a project check out the TRX4M. Got 1 and it's fun to run indoors. BUT BEWARE THE MODS. And for your own sanity don't start with the Arrma Infraction.... the price of tires alone will make you cry 😢.....and smile while you burn them up😅.
I know exactlly what you mean, ive not got there just yet, but came close. For me its getting cars ready to race, when its a big vintage weekend away then the rush is there, see people i hardly see, see the cars, chinwag with them, have a cracking friday night and a chilled sat night. Im looking forward to seeing the lazer done, and hopefully getting mine on track next month 👍
Thanks buddy 😇👊🏻
Great honest video Glenn! It’s totally understandable that all that pressure takes it’s toll eventually. You obviously love the hobby but you need to keep a balance between life and the hobby. I think everyone will understand if you’re not feeling it every week and don’t get a video out. We will all just appreciate the videos that you do put out, when you can. Your videos are what got me back into the hobby 2/3 years ago. I love your passion for the hobby, but looking after yourself definitely comes first! Take care
You did a lot for the hobby my friend. You got me back into rc-ing again....and I never thought I would. It needs to be a hobby and stay a hobby. Just do your thing mate, I'm sure the people following understand where you are coming from....I know I do.
Your video's always put a smile on my face, even if it's 20 minutes and 1 second of waffling...😂...once a week, or two weeks, or whenever.
👍👍
Thanks Ruud 😇👊🏻
Enjoy all your videos and the information you bring to the hobby! You inspired me to add some cars and trucks to my small collection and how it takes me back to being a kid when these kits were coming out in the 80’s. Keep up the great work👍🏻
Greetings, Glen. Your video you talked about going away from the hobby and then coming back, I've been out of the hobby for about 10 years now and about a month and a half ago a guy at work and I were talking about RC cars and I started looking around and don't you know I ended up buying a re re Kyosho Optima Mid. You're so right!, You can fall out of the hobby for a while and then for whatever reason you get the bug again.
Great video my friend, keep the great videos coming!
BTW, I also watch your videos on Tamiya Legends.
Cheers mate.
Fantastic thank you 😊
Great video Glen. Watched all the way thru. Hope you get way more than 2k views on this !! Let's go Glen!
Keep crushing it Glenn💪 great content
Congratulations! Please keep showing us all the classic RC’s if I could request that you also show some of the magazines from the time that would also be awesome!
No pressure mate sounds like you need a break bro. I bought 5 new cars just before Christmas all i've built is Block head motors Wild one. You inspired me to build again mate 👍
happy anniversary Glenn! keep on truckin. love the displays btw. awesome job
Hi Glenn, know how you feel with the RC wall. I hit it about 6 months ago the Lazer ZX sport I have for restore has been sitting built just needs the body cutting out and painting. I have not touched it since before Xmas. keep doing what you feel you want to do as long as you are getting enjoyment from the hobby. You have given so much to the Hobby over the last few years. Without all your hard work i know I would not have the collection of cars I have today.
Congrats on 1 yr anniversary!
Keep up the great work and videos that you do!
Local track opening up soon and I can help you with some running videos there.
I have a X-ray xb2-2020 coming your way and also the Willspeed ld for videos!!!
Really looking forward to seeing the willspeed car 😅
I'm new to the Hobby and youtube your channel helped with the itch.. Thank you for all the content and I am sure you will be recharged before you know it..👍
Thank you 😊
Well done on your anniversary 👌 would a shame if you did stop. I'm sure you could revisit old car favorites of yours or get people to chime in on what they'ed like to see 👌
Yeah that’s the thing if you think hard enough there’s always videos that can be made 😅
Thanx Glenn. It was always a pleasure to watch the videos. Hope ur comeback will be soon. Maybe with some old nitro cars of Kyosho, Mugen , Parsec and others.
Thank you 😊
Hey Glenn - It’s all good!! Do you whatever you want to do. Your channels are awesome and when something new is up, it’s a treat - you don’t owe anyone anything! I rewatch older ones, newer ones - whatever takes my fancy. Do they ever run RC monster truck days at the track? That would have some great comedy!🙂
We’re almost to 1k subs, I just started working a second job, Grayson started 2 baseball teams and motivation to make videos is running low right now.. I totally get it.. I will say when you don’t put out a video, I truly miss them
Hey congratulations on 1k subs that’s truly awesome 😎
Hi mate it’s nice to get a look behind the scenes and nice to find out more about you and your motivation. I love the Hobby and I like to make You tube videos but what gets me down is when I don’t get many views. Some time like you I find some time you do the videos for for the people than your self . I will all ways watch and look forward to your videos. It was you and RC sparks that got me back into the Hobby.
Yeah YT can definitely disappoint way more than it should 🤕
Great video mate love All your video😁 keep up the great work 👌
Thanks Mark 😇👊🏻
There's a lot of us and I hope I'm not speaking out of turn. But alot that look forward seeing what u got going on with the hobby. But either way. Best of luck with whatever u decide
Hey Glenn...
Burnout is just part of being human my friend.
Don't forget to cut yourself some slack my friend.
The hobby is always there for us, right?
Love watching your videos but I’m sure everyone understands we all need a breather every now again mate I can only imagine the time and hard work that goes into your videos I personally could wait one week or three weeks or even a month to catch up the main thing is that you yourself are enjoying what you do 👍
Thanks Paul 😇👊🏻
Thank you Glenn. You are an inspiration and it’s because of you I returned to the hobby after a break of 30 years. Take a break and enjoy your life outside of RC, there’s more to life. We’ll wait for you! Thanks for everything
Please don't stop RC Legends.
Congratulations on the year anniversary 🥳… I totally get hitting the wall, sometimes it feels like a full time job just vacuuming all the dust off them never mind actually doing work on them! Glass cabinets are a must when time and money allows 👍
Haha you’re so right lol 😇👊🏻
As always, great vid. Great honest content.👍
Sounds so familiar, I'd not built anything for nearly a year, bought a couple of rtr buggies, but that was it. Then last week I decided to build a kit, I had a Plasma edge 2 that had sat there since last January, I'm adding a few blingy bits to this basic kit and I'm really enjoying it. I watched your build and the difficulties applying the decals, I've made a note how you did it. Keep up the good work, being honest I couldn't produce videos.
Thank you again for all the awesome content. I’m with you on burnout . I’ve really gotten into crawlers 1/24 & 1/10 .
Seems like whole industry is kind of hitting lull
That’s awesome Duncan 😎👊🏻
I go through way too many highs and lows within the hobby.
I did my first bigger indoor race recently, and actually enjoyed it a lot.
Not taking it as seriously as I used to.
Grabbed an electric off roader to go race when the outdoor season starts.
I agree with you about the weather, it snowed quite a bit out here this week, so that kind of puts me off doing anything RC.
Got a Rock Socker sitting here next to my Optima Mid, both unbuilt, so I’m hoping when Spring arrives it brings some enthusiasm for both of us 😃
Hi Glenn you're intitaled to take a break I've got various models myself cars, buggys and trucks and trailers myself you can only do so much 😀 😄 Mike.....
Hi Glenn, cheers for doing this video , really needed to hear all of what you said, a lot of it I completely agree on as well so it’s helped hearing it from another persons mouth :) I’ve been really struggling since late Nov/Dec last year. I hope I can also get my head around the ‘it’s ok if I don’t release a video mentality’ cheers again your a Gent, much respect.
My favourite phrase “I’m not going to buy any more kits but them Tamiya releases the BBX and Boomerang”
The Incident build is going to be amazing, I’d love to build something like that.
If there is no Sunday video what do I watch when I have my after lunch cuppa tea & cake?
RCL Incident 😇😇😇
2k + 😃👌
Glenn Slow and steady wins the race Do whatever makes you happy no one would think anything bad about you
Whatever you do with the channels people who also upload content will know why and also understand. Even if you dropped it to one video every week by alternating the channels. The 'wall' definitely gets hit quite a bit so when I have enthusiasm I also try to build up content.. hope the weather changes soon so you can get out there and run a few...
Hi Glen, I always wondered if you only did just UA-cam. I would imagine it is pretty hard to work full time and also have a UA-cam channel too. I sometimes I sometimes feel burned out with RC stuff and need to take a break. So, I understand what you mean. Maybe you could release content less frequently to avoid feeling burned out. Thoughts?
1Well, I always said there's a reason to keep a hobby a hobby, and not make a hobby into work. Making videos is a lot of hard work, and it's not fun when you end up becoming a victim to your own success. UA-cam very much rewards quantity instead of quality, which is the exact opposite of what most of us want. The expectations and obligations inevitably get the best of you, and you begin feeling weighed down and consequently buried. A hobby that once brought you joy, brings you down instead. It's not fun.
That being said, I absolutely have enjoyed every single video here on RC Legends, and I do hope you decide to revisit this channel with renewed vigor at some point -- but not on account of your passion for the hobby. In the meantime, don't worry about us! We'll be here -- or in the Facebook group!
Please do some dirt track running videos of the trf cars !!!
pretty please
btw its you who is the RCLegend along with the great cars companies have put out over the years
KingCap 🤷♂🤷♀😊
Please don't stop in kits please don't stop fighting kits don't forget to run them at the track.
Im always hitting the wall I go 12-18 months with no interest then I will suddenly get the urge again. I built 4 kits at Christmas and haven't touched anything since and before that it was probably 12 months when I built the original body for you.
What you going to do with the spear chassis that you're not using?
Different world now, all you need is a pre-arranged job to get a 3-year visa for Canada now. Get it done in a few months with a government agent.
I had to wait 1 year, like you.
Oh wow really I didn’t know that 🤯
Yeah man, Gov just made it easy to get a work visa cos of worker shortage, all levels of job. There is just nobody to hire locally.
What about the original scorpion and beetle from kyosho?
What about the dirt master from kyosho?
You still need to run and show running all your non Tamiya cars.
What about the mb01?
I think everyone hits a wall if you stay in a hobby long enough, but I think watching your videos it comes across that you are true to the hobby and it’s not a business. That’s why over 30000 subscribers watch your videos week end and week out . Just stay true to who you are. That’s what makes you’re channels special. Whatever you post whenever you post we will enjoy and be happy with . The Rc bug becomes infectious after watching your videos.
