Lots of the big companies themselves advertise their RC cars on skate park in the promo videos. As for the kid thing, it’s not down to me to Police other people‘s kids. This is UA-cam adults, there’s another app for kids called UA-cam kids if parents let their kids watch adult videos That’s on them not me. End of the day you just have to do the hobby which ever way was the biggest smile on your face and that is the right way that you’re doing the hobby for you. People always complain how others are having fun, and complain about other channel. Solution is simple, don’t watch, 1000’s of other channels out there to watch, they don’t need to watch mine or copy mine.
Of course they do Kev because that's whats been made to look cool not just by you but by lots of large social media influencers. Watch some old school RC videos/adverts you wont see a skatepark in sight. I have never had an issue with what you do or how you run your channel or the fact you run at skateparks that's your business but when i am getting comments from people wondering why i am not doing the same or copying you or others to a certain extent its something i have to address. All channels are different and me making a stand is my way of saying i wont copy you for the 'views/likes' or what you are doing because yes i dont agree with it and im quite open about that. RC cars dont belong at skateparks but again that's my opinion. Everyone is free to do what they want but when the large channels are doing something the majority think that's the way forward. Wrong. UA-cam is about being individual not copying others. Totally agree about watching other channels and i tell people the same. You have an incredible influence in the RC world mate and even though you say parents shouldn't allow kids to watch adult youtube of course it still happens.. did you behave yourself and do what your parents asked at that age? Probably not lol. Kids can and will watch your channel and other channels abusing RC cars even if they shouldn't be and i think its important to remember that as its having an impact on the young ones getting into the hobby (Hobby shop owners have confirmed people coming in looking for the best skate park RC cars). In the 80's,90s and 2000's How many ran RC cars at skateparks? Hardly any lol. Appreciate you stopping by and listening to me moan again nothing directly against you but we are all entitled to our opinions right? I have to see it all from a Dad's point of view as i am getting my young sons into RC. Cheers mate
Nothing wrong with taking your RC to a skate park if...., A- it can handle it. EXB's etc. B- YOU can handle it. Unless you know how to drive an RC at a well above average level, you are gunna break stuff. I've been driving nearly everyday for a few years, and still only occasionally visit the skate Park. I'm well, em...., my talent and resources are offset by the chance of failure. NB- Kev has a few good vids (easy to find) where he teaches higher levels of control of RC cars. They are pretty good.
@@beyondRC sure you’re entitled to your opinion, 100% you should pay how ever puts the biggest smile on your face, and I’m doing the same. If people and kids see rcs get wrecked in my vids and then think that they can do the same and not break it, even after seeing it get trashed in my video, then I guess they have to find out the hard way, and other peoples kids are not my responsibility. Anyway, I take my hat off to you for doing it your own way and not copying me. So many channels out there copying my style, ideas, thumbnails and descriptions its actually insulting. It doesn’t even help then because if someone wants to watch my, they will watch me, why would anyone want to watch someone pretend to be me?
No shortage of good talking points here, pal. One thing I really appreciate about your channel is your integrity and your passion to do it your way. Your unique style is inherently you and I love it. In a world of copycat formats, it's exciting to see something original. Keep it up! 😃
I enjoy your take on skateparks, I personally can’t stand the tons of RC UA-camrs that purposely try destroying their cars. I too was taught to respect my things and would rather donate a car or parts to someone in need rather than destroying them. Keep up the good work.
Another great video! I love how you recognize behaviors and trends from the bigger channels, and the influence that has over smaller channels and just the hobby in general. And just like you said, the fact of the matter, is that we each should do our own thing, and find our own joy - whatever that looks like. (Absolutely not bashing on anybody by saying that.)
Yes, it's a hobby. My hobby isn't buying parts that I have broken. Buying parts for me is hop-ups or parts that do break from a normal run on a couple packs. I avoid bashing. It happens on it's own. A perfect day is charging, running, and placing my hard earned money and time back on the shelf for another run another day. I do buy the durable bashing vehicles because I'm not as good as I think I am.
Great video with great insight, I just recently made a very similar video about doing things differently than the other UA-cam RC channels, my channel would only get views if my content was based on RC drift cars but I enjoy so many more aspects of the hobby so I’ve branched out to showing my rc crawlers and trucks and its hilarious how many less views that continent gets but I’m not going to let that stop me from making the content that makes me happy.
I still forget to turn mic on 😅 I don’t do skateparks either and RCs are not even allowed in them where I am. Videos and editing is a real chore and channel growth is a definite grind. So thanks for telling us smaller channels that were not alone and definitely not the first. Cheers mate .
Skateparks are on of the few areas you can actually run RC cars where I live. Parking lots, grassy fields, that’s about it. We don’t have amazing pump tracks like you have @beyondRC . I am really jealous of your locations. There isn’t even an RC track near where I live. I don’t use skateparks myself but like there’s often nowhere else to go
I agree with your stance on skateparks. Like you I was raised to appreciate what I own, which is why these type of tests don't interest me. I don't understand the idea when cars/ trucks that are launched 20/30 ft. in the air and land harshly only for the owner to act surprised when something breaks. They just weren't designed for that type of abuse. Keep doing what you are doing, I for one enjoy your realistic reviews. 😁👍
Major props to all you do. I can only imagine how much time and money it takes to run a channel. My brief experience with social media and my RC was starting an Instagram account for my 1:24 crawling. Within 2 weeks it absolutely ruined the hobby for me. RC was (and is again now) my only outlet to tinker without deadlines or pressure. As soon as I started caring about likes and shares I went bananas. Shut it right down! 😆 So, Im happy you’re finding a balance of enjoyment with sharing your RC experience. I appreciate your approach and your channel. 👌 No pressure from here!
Great video brother. I as many appreciate the honesty and the effort you put into your videos. Hope you and your love ones had the best of the holidays.👍💯💯💯🙂
You're SPOT ON about the paid promotion thing. Many channels don't tick that box and they should be doing so because UA-cam could take action against your video for not. Anytime I have even so much as a free battery in a car I'm featuring in a video, even if that battery is unseen, I still tick that box. The only videos you don't see the paid promotion box on, are videos where every vehicle in the video has been bought and paid for by myself, a member of my team, or Rek RC itself. I wish more people understood this because you don't want to get sideways with UA-cam before you even get your channel off the ground.
absolutely. I am the same if there is anything featured in my video which at some point was sent for free its still classed as paid promotion. Its so misunderstood and so many creators dont see the importance of declaring it. If youtube decides to crack down lots of channels are at risk. I am a firm believer in doing things right but not everyone is the same as us!
Absolutely LOVE your channel REK. You do the driving me and my mates love, setting up a track and racing around having a blast. Run what ya brung and hope you brung enough!!
As a small channel myself(much smaller than you) I focus on what makes a smile on my face! Anyone that watches my videos will see pretty much anything I feel like doing. I've done skateparks as well, kinda mixed on them too. I'm also mixed on crawling. Everyone thinks you need a course, I get the best fun out of natural settings! UA-cam can be frustrating, because honestly to compete with the big guys you need to have engaging, fun-filled content! I've taken a step back and crack out my own way...seems to work for me! One day maybe I'll have a decent following,if not it was fun making the videos! I like your videos because it's different, technical, sometimes boring. For me I appreciate the beauty in the design, and function as well as the tricks. Keep doing it your way, I'm still watching like many others brother!
I hope you enjoyed part 2 and i hope i covered some things which i forgot last time! Some of the things mentioned in todays video are controversial and its not my intention to offend anyone/other channels this is just a video based on my opinion/experiences in the last 5 years i have been doing UA-cam. I will probably do a part 3 later in the year and if there is anything in particular you would like me to cover make sure you drop a comment down below! 👍 *Win a Rlaarlo here:*raffall.com/374695/enter-raffle-to-win-a-rlaarlo-x12s-brushless-rc-buggy-hosted-by-beyondrc
If I had a pound for every "we took it to the skatepark" story.... Honestly as a skater and an rc shop owner.... its not good to run rc in a skatepark.... especially if there are people skating!
RC cars have gotten so reasonably durable, that we don't even do skatepark videos anymore unless it's somehow relevant to the RC car in some way. Otherwise we just stick to head to head type stuff and reviews based on performance and entertainment purely. Skateparks seem to have run their course in terms of being a realistic method of testing, because EVERY RC breaks at the skatepark. Personally speaking I don't want to know if an RC breaks at a skatepark (because they all do) I'd rather want to know if it breaks under reasonable levels of bashing or hooning around. Don't get me wrong, a skatepark can be a thrill, but it's really no way to test an RC because the end result is eventually the same every single time, SOMETHING BREAKS!
I don’t actually own a rc but enjoy watching a few channels, yours, tomely and derby city . I like that you cover different cars and have different methods. It makes for a great complete picture of a car. I think having your channel focus on the more affordable end is a smart move, and brings more newcomers into the hobby. If I see all three of you say a car is good, then I know it would be a great one to get. I know that you have to go where the viewers are, but I think your channel has a nice identity right now and the longer you can keep that the better
i rely dont see the point of smashing up cars ,,i struggle to get the cars i have ,, vids u make are my price range so keep goin as u are we need them .
I actually get anxiety watching these guys just abuse the sh!t out of their RC’s!! Even if it’s free. I just don’t like tearing my stuff up. I don’t care if it’s a $100 RC or a $2500 RC… I still take care of my RC’s like they are pets😳… so, I get it.
Great video. I totally agree skate parks are boring and I have no interest in smashing up my RC's nose darting in to concrete and costing myself 100 bucks in spares. If I wanted to send it to the moon I'd buy a plane. I love the REK RC guys where they race around a track at the park then racing around the baseball diamond and a bit of drag racing. Me and my mates set up a track at the park and do the same and we have a blast.. Keep up the great work mate.
I've said before and gladly again. I enjoy your content and the way you run your RC's. It's the way I run my stuff. I know it takes a lot off time to do a UTUBE CHANNEL. Keep going. From Texas.
I enjoy your channel, I am more "seasoned " person often confused with being an adult due to my age lol. I appreciate your honest open and more mature approach and a more grass roots approach. Skateparks can be fun - but not the be all. Seeing how durable the cars are is important. Trying to break them intentionally is not something I fully understand or agree with. As I'm discovering this " hobby" is expensive and learning how to enjoy and appreciate what we buy with whatever spare /saved £ we have is more for me. Raffles are good way to assist you to better your quality of videos and also help get the cars to review for us. And then we have the great chance to win something special . Keep the faith 🙏
Always good to hear an honest viewpoint from someone going somewhat against the grain! Totally agree it’s a much better role model for parents getting their kids into to show them to respect their rc’s rather than going out to break them!
Thank you so much. I am new to the RC hobby and first thing noticed was all the channels destroying cars . When came across your channel was great to see was not. Now on look out for channels that are not.
I actually enjoy these types of videos it's always nice learning a little more about content creators, talking about finding spare time, The penny only dropped for me recently that I have a 40 min drive to work each day why haven't I been sticking the camera to the dashboard hitting record and having a chat with the views, quick and easy to edit and it doesn't really take up any additional time.
I watch your channel to get some other opinions about some of the other main stream cars, but also to watch your cheaper RC reviews. I first thought they were all crap but I have learned a few things watching your channel, I appreciate that your channel is different.. otherwise why bother watching any others? keep going man, I'll keep watching..
You right I build tamiyas and the last thing I want to do is take them to the skate park I would rather go to a empty car park or wood land like you do in your videos and yeah drive in circles but at least your having fun and not smashing it to pieces good video man enjoyed it
Love your content and trust your reviews. You just keep doing you. If you can do something you enjoy / hobby and get paid for it, amazing !! Left a like 👍👍👍👍
@@beyondRC I don't comment on all your videos but i do watch every one of them. I`ve bought a lot of RC`s from your reviews and you`ve always done me right. Take care of that beautiful family 👍👍👍👍
Really appreciate your ethos on respecting what you have. A very grounded channel and after returning to the hobby after 25 years I’m liking what u see.
You make good points there. I have a small channel and you’ll never find me crashing my RCs on skate parks. Despite my channel’s name, I hate crashing my RCs. Keep going, keep doing what you’re doing and keep being different! 👍
That's the beautiful part, we all enjoy different aspects of the hobby. I personally enjoy that repair and upgrade process, so if im not fixing or upgrading its not as enjoyable. A skatepark is the easiest way to find the weaknesses of the RC Basher. Basher are meant to be.... wait for it.....BASHED. I recently got a new vehicle, and it's not a Basher, but it's still gonna go to the skatepark in the spring, but not to send it off a ramp, because it's not a Basher. Skateparks aren't just to send it, look at other channels, they take em there to drift, or just to try backflips without going 40' in the air.
Excellent matey, I think it’s very honest of you doing this kind of thing, the little channels like mine will deffo take on board what you’re saying. I’ve been plugging away for a while now and have had to take a few steps back at times as you know but I want it to work so I will continue plugging away haha Really good points raised, here’s to the next 5 years buddy
I dont agree with the free product guidelines... does the cost of the product they sent you compensate you for your entire cost to film, produce, and edit that video? Most of the time is a fraction of the cost because, your time costs money, transport to and from filming locations, etc etc. Unless they are covering that entire cost, I haven't been compensated, it's costing me money to make a video about that "free" product..... I've got no problem mentioning how I acquired the product to my audience, but Its not a paid promotion, since it's costing me money to make, that's a joke, that needs to be removed or elaborated on by YT IMO.
I agree. It definitely doesn't. Yes the product may be free but like you said what about your time. Time costs money.. The way youtube sees it is that the actual product is the paid part and that's what we declare to the viewers. It can be argued that without a steady flow of new/recent products which a lot of the time are free once again that channels would find it harder to grow and stay relevant without seriously large investment. Very difficult topic but sadly no getting away from it. A lot of the videos made have cost more than the actual products themselves.. you will find a lot of creators make way more money through patreon, raffall, affiliate schemes and other sources compared to the actual ads on videos.
@beyondRC and im with you on taking care of your stuff.Most modern rcs wont break if you dont drive them hard. Even the budget ones. Im the same way, dont like to break my stuff
@@gamedogrc i honestly couldnt agree more. Most RC cars will not break at all even the weaker/lower end stuff if used as intended. What some may call boring was more than acceptable in the 80s/90s and early 2000's. Did we see Tamiyas at skateparks? No. its only since social media has exploded and influencers doing their job of influencing.. especially the younger crowd.
I agree with you on the skate park issue Ricky. There are some Rc’s that I will or would take to skate park and the rest I don’t. My goal is not to see how long or how many bad landings it will take to break them. My free time is valuable, and definitely enjoy running them than I do repairing them.😂 I do however like to run them hard just breaking them is not the goal for me. As for checking the box for paid promotions, I think many channels state in their videos that they received the product from the supplier or manufacturer for free, and to me that should be good enough. When my channel was current, I would always mention that something was sent to me for review. 95% of the time everything I reviewed was something I purchased with my own money. I didn’t want the hassle or pressure to review something I may not of been interested in or had time to review. So I think stating it in the video = to the consumer as checking the box. Great conversation though my friend! I’ve been contemplating giving my channel another go , but with a slightly different format . Been wrestling with ideas for months now. Great job , your doing great it seems! All the best to you and your channel!👍🏻🙌🥂
As always a good video and talking about the rc world is always good as for skateparks I don’t do them ether as my cars cost a lot of money and the parts can mount up. I work hard pay for my rc cars and enjoy using them and fixing them when as you know can break just running them. So keep up the good work and the chats 👍
Thanks for this video its given me good insight been doing my channel on and off now for just over a year . found out over the weekend most of my videos have now been hit with copyright claims all off the same company . I have a subscription for royalty free music which I have used on them all have you had anything like this? and what do you use thanks
@beyondRC Thanks I was just looking at the site now I will give them a try it's a nightmare. Trying to sort my videos out now youtube not very helpful. Thank you very much for your help
Great video, some good points. I don't have my own channel just enjoy rc hobby. Skate parks are not my thing, each to there own. Like you I was brought up to look after my things not destroy them plus I wouldn't be able to afford to keep replacing parts broken. As I said the hobby is doing what you enjoy or what makes you happy. Keep up the great work.
Its not a durability test its just when will something break. Last year when I went to Arrmageddon there were plenty of ramps setup most people were ground pounding, just racing up and down the street and through the field. So most people dont bash like that this is what I call this the Tolbert syndrome you see a lot of small channels copy this because they think its the way to grow a channel. For me I keep my cars because I buy them I dont prefer to scratch them up or break them or break them I did it a few times but no more for me. Anyways here in the US we have the same here with the paid content it does seem like we get money to make the video and for most especially me its not true. I find review vids sucking the fun out of it I like setting up extra cameras and that all the extra work it takes I stopped doing it for every car but just going out and having fun sticking a camera on my head is still fun its fairly easy to make and for me it gives me a reason to go out and not just sit in the house I am retired military with back issues so rc gives me a reason to go outside and have a little fun.
totally agree. Definitely some small channels who feel the need to be like Mr Talbot in the interest of trying to grow their channel. Talbot had his fun now its time for things to come back down to earth not the MOON! haha
@L2theWcarscoffeelife i run on my gravel road but it makes my bottom plate screws a pain getting out when it grinds the heads off 😫this is my 3rd bottom plate in 6 months
For us consumers. Even though I've seen the skate park videos. I may drive it around 15-30 minutes to clear my mind. I will in no way grab my investment in an rc and destroy it.
I couldn't agree more Ricky.!! I like to take my RCs out as often as I can & I can't do that if they're always broken from ragging them around a skate park. I aim to take them home in the same condition they were in when I took them out.! 😉 I'm 100% fine with Raffles mate, if it gives us a chance to win something & generates a little income for you & your channel then that can only be a good thing.!!! In moderation though... Some channels are all about their raffles nowadays, they talk about them all video long & have multiple raffles at any one time & it just feels cheap.! As long as you're still enjoying the hobby I believe you'll always find the motivation to carry on.!!👍 It's important to give yourself a little break from time to time too. Just keep on keeping on my friend.!! 👍 👍 👍 I don't think it's right for us to expect a constant & regular supply of videos from you or any other UA-camr... Quality is more important than quantity & the quality would definitely suffer if you were to push yourself too hard & it became a chore to do.! Just go at your own pace, keep it real, HAVE FUN & we'll be more than happy.! As always, please stay safe out there mate & the very best wishes from Scotland 🏴 🙏 ❤️ 📻 🕹️ 🔋 🚗 🚖 🚕 🚔 🚚 🚙 🚘 🚓 🚒 🚑 🚐 🚎 🚤 🚁 🛩️ 👍 👍 👍
Yeah skate parks aren't for me. I can see doing some light jumps or launches but these guys sending it I can't do. I'll stick with sending mine off hills into the grass lol
Long time viewer and first time commenter, thanks for doing this, I have a young kid and he got totally wrong after he watch so many basher viewer, to a point I ban him from watching utube now he is driving rc normally after I thought him not to follower basher video as they get free cars and they get paid bashing while we don't, now he wants to be utuber
I'm a beginner , just got my first car today . Any tips where to put my Lipo batteries as I have heard they can be a bit dangerous and haven't ordered a storage bag yet . And any recommendations on storage bags as I've found a few on Amazon but not too sure which are good. Also do I need to charge my battery in the storage bags??? Thanks for any help. Keep up the work Beyond Rc you have helped me and millions of people who love this hobby👍👍👍
@ Thank you mate , just got mjx hyper go 14120 because of your videos , just arrived today and I already love it . Hope you reach your goals you deserve it.
Also just for tonight where should I store the batteries , I have a biscuits tin can should that be safe for tonight and then put in barbecue outside. Should that be fine ??
I found your channel only recently, a lot more down to earth and less 'MTV' than others I have seen. I didn't know about Kevin's channel before a day or two ago and it's not my style. Tomley's is the one I've watched most, but again only over the last few weeks and it's about as 'extreme' as I'd like - he does the breakage so my wallet doesn't suffer. As a 30-something Dad of a wee boy, i look forward to getting him into the hobby, he's only 2 so some ways to go yet. Good work with your channel, just do what you do best, don't be like the others - it gets boring.
Skatepark bashing is for clicks, and the intension is to break the RC. Its like watching NASCAR just for the crashes, or a hockey match for the fights. It fine, but also played out and missing the main part. I like watching your videos for the realistic approach, and respect for your investment. Keep doing what you do. Its good to see a different approach, and keeping it realistic. I have never seen Raffal until I got into RC's. Drone channels don't have it, and other hobby channels are not that big into it. I have mixed feelings about it. I personally wont ever buy ticket to be honest, but at least you dont plug your Raffal 4 times a video like some do... Anyway, thanks for the video and looking forward to more.
Bashing on a skate park is not what the rc hobby is about or what the are made for, like you say. It's about enjoying it. We are spending our own money at the end of the day not being a UA-camr myself, rc companies just what people to review their product to get them out there to sell rather than us making our own minds up, we all know what we can get and want without companies pushing free cars out there
I seldom go to skate parks and if I do, I take my toughest Chinese 18th, 16th, 14th scales. For one they are cheap and the smaller they are the less weight contributing to breakage and really bendy plastics makes them last longer as a rule. I watch Thunder RC, Kev, Phil just to name a few. Its fun to watch others on skate parks breaking their stuff. I am not sure how you convince people that skate parks are the hardest thing on RC products breaks them and that is part of it. No such thing as a skate park proof truck. Micro fractures can occur on just about any of them and eventually that part will fail. Its like people do not want to hear it. Then they call the product trash which is wrong. If it does not break, then I say you had a lucky day.
@beyondRC Same here. We all lose when that happens repeatedly. We need them all to push inovation and new models. Otherwise we will all be running some flavor of a Slash. The slash is a great truck but with no competition the remaining manufacturers will not spend money on new designs or think out side of the box and take chances on a product.
When seeing all of these RC channels on UA-cam show up over the years I've seen one thing durability testing, of course it's not all about durability but if I'm going to spend large amounts of money on an RC I'd like to know that it's up to the bashing, I know it's not all about the bashing or durability but that's a big part of it, whether it's out of skate park or a BMX track or an MX track or or a giant field, don't get me wrong I get it , just to review an RC and break it just for the review no I'm not quite into that either, but from what I've seen with all these different UA-cam channels whether it's crawling or bashing they're always trying to weed out the weak spots in these RCs, no better way to get the bugs and all the little quirks worked out of an RC then to put it through its paces, whether it be racing crawling or bashing RCs as long as you're getting your message out there should be nothing to complain about, there are so many channels for RC out there there's a little something for everyone now whether it's bashing racing crawling or just going for a walk, as long as you get a message out there without being a total retard about it" you know the channels I'm talking about",if I'm going to spend over $2,000 on a giant monster truck RC I'd like to know that that thing can handle the punishment that they say it can handle, everything in life can be broken sometimes we'd like to see if that thing can be broken before we buy it and it breaks on the end user.
nice video, as you know i have a creators channel but i dont and wont ever do it for making money, i dont have enough subs for a start, i tnd to do it to use YT as a server to store my content and if i get a like or a comment all good, now to skateparks, they are model killers even the mighty xmaxx will break at a park, there is also a danger of a kid getting hit by an rc out of control
Really like UA-camrs like yourself, always get better content from smaller channels. I feel like the big names on UA-cam just do it to get more views. And you don’t get a realistic view of an rc car. I’m primarily a basher myself and i do from time to time break my rc’s but I’m not fan of skate park bashing. It seems to be a very unrealistic way of testing an rc.
I'm a strong believer in " to each their own " but things are kinda getting weird. We have crawlers that are geard to the limit, 6S systems or higher, sencerd at least sometimes, basically taking something that is exactly made to do one thing and making it into something else, that can be fun, but is it really useful, who wants a crawler that hits 40 to 50 miles per hour? Your just going to break it, and eventually become to heavy with hop up's to be a crawler? Crazy 🤣😂
Dude. Just don't use skateparks.......stop addressing it and move on. If I want affordability I watch you and Tomley. If I wanna see crazy shit, I watch Kev! Have a race and get it over with lol
Did you watch the vid? I quite clearly said that's the last you will be hearing about skateparks.. i wouldn't have to keep addressing it if it wasn't such a massive issue in the hobby and the younger generation seeing it as 'The norm'
Yeah, problem is it's not just kids it's adults or ages 16 and up who are easily infuanced and smash their cars up to fit in. Have you seen how many channels are popping up doing the same thing and even copying the styles of other channel presenters lol. Really, the bigger channels that do that sort of thing are the ones that want to chase money, the fact about entertainment, whether it be TV or UA-cam is that the audiance want excitment and action. So, they deliver that and they get views which equates to more money coming in, and so they can buy more cars and parts to smash up again and it's a circle. They then acheive their goal of making lots of money. Money makes the world go 'round and we all want to make as much of it as we can, some people throw morals out the window and just go hell for leather to get their goals and others try to set good examples while trying to reach their goals. Facts are the ones with the action, shouting and distruction do far better than the calmer ones because, again viewers like distruction and action. Either way, I suppose as long as you make your money genuinly it's all ok 🤷🏻♂😆
100% correct. Everyone wants a piece of the pie and will sell their souls to get it. I’m not about that mate I prefer doing things my way and if people don’t enjoy it they can move on. I don’t have to copy the larger channels and judging by the comments on this vid people like watching me for that very reason. The fact I go against the grain if you will. Some may say I’m boring to watch mostly with my running footage but I don’t care I’m doing what I see is right. Following the crowd and copying large channels is for losers 😛
Keep skateboards at skateparks, that's why they are there. I mean really, what isn't going to break by hitting concrete at 10+ ft from the air. Definitely not a plastic "toy" car. How much testing is required to know this. The UA-cam channels that purposely wreck these cars for the sake of durability test have lots of money and obviously get sh*t for free. So why should they care.. And then, Isn't that what a UA-camr is, a Influencer. Definitely influencing people in the wrong ways. On the other hand, most of us should be smart enough to make the decision how and where we want to ride our cars. If you wanna see thing fly get into RC Planes or FPV Drones. When I see people crash their planes I wanna tell them get a RC Car, none of that stuff with cars, well now there is plenty of it with the cars. People love seeing their cars "define gravity". They always lose though.. Lol
Your videos are great and appreciated by a wide audience. I’ve bought (and modified) rc cars based on your videos, so thanks again, it’s really helped me finally find a hobby I enjoy.
Nice vid, good points about skate park,s, don't make no sense, buying a top dollar rc or even a budget one,s, to go & smash the shat out of them, the big problem at the moment is daylight, lol, in part 3 could you mention about other channels copying content, or stealing ideas, & how important it is too use your own imagination, i find that the big boy channels do this a lot, as in themes ,settings, ideas in their vids 😉👍, I have seen themes, settings in vids taken from my small channel, & used in boyz channels vids,, it really really f@#king annoying,😱😱😉👍
The Raffles are cool if the tickets are cheap and capped!! and not trying to raffle off a used RC for $1000's!. and I mean let's be real most creators are trying to make as much money from us as they can, which really there's nothing wrong with it when its kept somewhat realistic, but I don't think it's fair raffling off a $200 RC car and waiting to sell a couple thousand dollars worth of tickets before the Raffle is up. There's got to be some kind of cap on it,IMO. That would be like me going to a group with 2000 hungry people there and telling each of them to give me a $1.00 and after everybody gives me their dollar then I'll go out and throw it to one of them hahah!!! Imo 😂😂🤷🏼♂️. Sometimes even the company will give them an extra car to do a "Giveaway" but instead they auction It off on Raffle lol. But It is about making that mighty dollar and I'm obviously I made the wrong career move!!!.😂😂. Ok Sorry for the silly Rant., but about the skate parks I don't have a skatepark around me but even if I did I wouldn't go near it. I never liked the skate parks, closest thing to a park I've ever been to is a baseball diamond lol.. I even hate the sound of the it when they're slapping chassis off the concrete, I like my trucks and cars in the dirt or off road, it's definitely more enjoyable kicking up roost around the the burms "Braaappp"!! 😂😂 Taking hole shots and blowin donuts!.. come on now ,.if you don't find that more pleasing and exciting than just hitting a jump and waiting for the chassis to slap the cement and throwing a prayer up to the sky that's going to drive away after each landing, then have at it at if it as long as your having fun..🤘🏻. It doesn't mean I baby them either because I'll rip through the culm dumps and trails full tilt shredding the tires right off it haha. I just don't see the meaning of going to a skate park possibly only hitting one jump and crack your rig in half on the first landing, remember!. it's the Landings that breaks your cars, not the jumps. 💯✌🏻.. but anyways always love your videos. Keep doing what you're doing.
Lots of the big companies themselves advertise their RC cars on skate park in the promo videos. As for the kid thing, it’s not down to me to Police other people‘s kids. This is UA-cam adults, there’s another app for kids called UA-cam kids if parents let their kids watch adult videos That’s on them not me. End of the day you just have to do the hobby which ever way was the biggest smile on your face and that is the right way that you’re doing the hobby for you. People always complain how others are having fun, and complain about other channel. Solution is simple, don’t watch, 1000’s of other channels out there to watch, they don’t need to watch mine or copy mine.
Of course they do Kev because that's whats been made to look cool not just by you but by lots of large social media influencers. Watch some old school RC videos/adverts you wont see a skatepark in sight. I have never had an issue with what you do or how you run your channel or the fact you run at skateparks that's your business but when i am getting comments from people wondering why i am not doing the same or copying you or others to a certain extent its something i have to address. All channels are different and me making a stand is my way of saying i wont copy you for the 'views/likes' or what you are doing because yes i dont agree with it and im quite open about that. RC cars dont belong at skateparks but again that's my opinion. Everyone is free to do what they want but when the large channels are doing something the majority think that's the way forward. Wrong. UA-cam is about being individual not copying others. Totally agree about watching other channels and i tell people the same. You have an incredible influence in the RC world mate and even though you say parents shouldn't allow kids to watch adult youtube of course it still happens.. did you behave yourself and do what your parents asked at that age? Probably not lol. Kids can and will watch your channel and other channels abusing RC cars even if they shouldn't be and i think its important to remember that as its having an impact on the young ones getting into the hobby (Hobby shop owners have confirmed people coming in looking for the best skate park RC cars). In the 80's,90s and 2000's How many ran RC cars at skateparks? Hardly any lol. Appreciate you stopping by and listening to me moan again nothing directly against you but we are all entitled to our opinions right? I have to see it all from a Dad's point of view as i am getting my young sons into RC. Cheers mate
Hey Kev, give me an RC. 😂😂
We live in a blame society with no personal accountability.
Nothing wrong with taking your RC to a skate park if....,
A- it can handle it. EXB's etc.
B- YOU can handle it. Unless you know how to drive an RC at a well above average level, you are gunna break stuff.
I've been driving nearly everyday for a few years, and still only occasionally visit the skate Park. I'm well, em...., my talent and resources are offset by the chance of failure.
NB- Kev has a few good vids (easy to find) where he teaches higher levels of control of RC cars. They are pretty good.
@@beyondRC sure you’re entitled to your opinion, 100% you should pay how ever puts the biggest smile on your face, and I’m doing the same. If people and kids see rcs get wrecked in my vids and then think that they can do the same and not break it, even after seeing it get trashed in my video, then I guess they have to find out the hard way, and other peoples kids are not my responsibility. Anyway, I take my hat off to you for doing it your own way and not copying me. So many channels out there copying my style, ideas, thumbnails and descriptions its actually insulting. It doesn’t even help then because if someone wants to watch my, they will watch me, why would anyone want to watch someone pretend to be me?
No shortage of good talking points here, pal. One thing I really appreciate about your channel is your integrity and your passion to do it your way. Your unique style is inherently you and I love it. In a world of copycat formats, it's exciting to see something original. Keep it up! 😃
I appreciate that! i try to just keep it real at all times!
I enjoy your take on skateparks, I personally can’t stand the tons of RC UA-camrs that purposely try destroying their cars. I too was taught to respect my things and would rather donate a car or parts to someone in need rather than destroying them. Keep up the good work.
Thanks 👍👍
These videos are the best. We differ slightly on some topics, but it's good to hear another YT'ers thoughts.
I appreciate that!
Another great video! I love how you recognize behaviors and trends from the bigger channels, and the influence that has over smaller channels and just the hobby in general. And just like you said, the fact of the matter, is that we each should do our own thing, and find our own joy - whatever that looks like. (Absolutely not bashing on anybody by saying that.)
"Take care of your gear, and your gear will take care of you." Treating everything like it's disposable is depressing to watch.
As a new UA-camr I’m learning that it’s not all fun and games. I appreciate your honesty and transparency.
Yes, it's a hobby. My hobby isn't buying parts that I have broken. Buying parts for me is hop-ups or parts that do break from a normal run on a couple packs. I avoid bashing. It happens on it's own. A perfect day is charging, running, and placing my hard earned money and time back on the shelf for another run another day. I do buy the durable bashing vehicles because I'm not as good as I think I am.
this is what its about and exactly how i am with my cars! bringing one home in one piece is a massive bonus!
I have bashers and crawlers and I don't go to skatepark and I have a blast with them all. Keep up the awesome videos
Great video with great insight, I just recently made a very similar video about doing things differently than the other UA-cam RC channels, my channel would only get views if my content was based on RC drift cars but I enjoy so many more aspects of the hobby so I’ve branched out to showing my rc crawlers and trucks and its hilarious how many less views that continent gets but I’m not going to let that stop me from making the content that makes me happy.
I still forget to turn mic on 😅
I don’t do skateparks either and RCs are not even allowed in them where I am.
Videos and editing is a real chore and channel growth is a definite grind. So thanks for telling us smaller channels that were not alone and definitely not the first. Cheers mate .
Once again i agree. Skatepark bashing is not for me. I also don't want to ruin a perfectly brand new rc. ✨️
Skateparks are on of the few areas you can actually run RC cars where I live. Parking lots, grassy fields, that’s about it. We don’t have amazing pump tracks like you have @beyondRC . I am really jealous of your locations. There isn’t even an RC track near where I live. I don’t use skateparks myself but like there’s often nowhere else to go
I agree with your stance on skateparks. Like you I was raised to appreciate what I own, which is why these type of tests don't interest me. I don't understand the idea when cars/ trucks that are launched 20/30 ft. in the air and land harshly only for the owner to act surprised when something breaks. They just weren't designed for that type of abuse. Keep doing what you are doing, I for one enjoy your realistic reviews. 😁👍
Major props to all you do. I can only imagine how much time and money it takes to run a channel.
My brief experience with social media and my RC was starting an Instagram account for my 1:24 crawling. Within 2 weeks it absolutely ruined the hobby for me. RC was (and is again now) my only outlet to tinker without deadlines or pressure. As soon as I started caring about likes and shares I went bananas. Shut it right down! 😆
So, Im happy you’re finding a balance of enjoyment with sharing your RC experience. I appreciate your approach and your channel. 👌 No pressure from here!
Great video brother. I as many appreciate the honesty and the effort you put into your videos. Hope you and your love ones had the best of the holidays.👍💯💯💯🙂
Same to you!
You're SPOT ON about the paid promotion thing. Many channels don't tick that box and they should be doing so because UA-cam could take action against your video for not. Anytime I have even so much as a free battery in a car I'm featuring in a video, even if that battery is unseen, I still tick that box. The only videos you don't see the paid promotion box on, are videos where every vehicle in the video has been bought and paid for by myself, a member of my team, or Rek RC itself. I wish more people understood this because you don't want to get sideways with UA-cam before you even get your channel off the ground.
absolutely. I am the same if there is anything featured in my video which at some point was sent for free its still classed as paid promotion. Its so misunderstood and so many creators dont see the importance of declaring it. If youtube decides to crack down lots of channels are at risk. I am a firm believer in doing things right but not everyone is the same as us!
Absolutely LOVE your channel REK. You do the driving me and my mates love, setting up a track and racing around having a blast. Run what ya brung and hope you brung enough!!
As a small channel myself(much smaller than you) I focus on what makes a smile on my face! Anyone that watches my videos will see pretty much anything I feel like doing. I've done skateparks as well, kinda mixed on them too. I'm also mixed on crawling. Everyone thinks you need a course, I get the best fun out of natural settings! UA-cam can be frustrating, because honestly to compete with the big guys you need to have engaging, fun-filled content! I've taken a step back and crack out my own way...seems to work for me! One day maybe I'll have a decent following,if not it was fun making the videos! I like your videos because it's different, technical, sometimes boring. For me I appreciate the beauty in the design, and function as well as the tricks. Keep doing it your way, I'm still watching like many others brother!
I hope you enjoyed part 2 and i hope i covered some things which i forgot last time! Some of the things mentioned in todays video are controversial and its not my intention to offend anyone/other channels this is just a video based on my opinion/experiences in the last 5 years i have been doing UA-cam. I will probably do a part 3 later in the year and if there is anything in particular you would like me to cover make sure you drop a comment down below! 👍

If I had a pound for every "we took it to the skatepark" story....
Honestly as a skater and an rc shop owner.... its not good to run rc in a skatepark.... especially if there are people skating!
@@radio-controlledcouk a common issue no doubt.
RC cars have gotten so reasonably durable, that we don't even do skatepark videos anymore unless it's somehow relevant to the RC car in some way. Otherwise we just stick to head to head type stuff and reviews based on performance and entertainment purely. Skateparks seem to have run their course in terms of being a realistic method of testing, because EVERY RC breaks at the skatepark. Personally speaking I don't want to know if an RC breaks at a skatepark (because they all do) I'd rather want to know if it breaks under reasonable levels of bashing or hooning around.
Don't get me wrong, a skatepark can be a thrill, but it's really no way to test an RC because the end result is eventually the same every single time, SOMETHING BREAKS!
@@Rek_Rc for sure 100%
I don’t actually own a rc but enjoy watching a few channels, yours, tomely and derby city . I like that you cover different cars and have different methods. It makes for a great complete picture of a car. I think having your channel focus on the more affordable end is a smart move, and brings more newcomers into the hobby. If I see all three of you say a car is good, then I know it would be a great one to get. I know that you have to go where the viewers are, but I think your channel has a nice identity right now and the longer you can keep that the better
i rely dont see the point of smashing up cars ,,i struggle to get the cars i have ,, vids u make are my price range so keep goin as u are we need them .
I actually get anxiety watching these guys just abuse the sh!t out of their RC’s!! Even if it’s free. I just don’t like tearing my stuff up. I don’t care if it’s a $100 RC or a $2500 RC… I still take care of my RC’s like they are pets😳… so, I get it.
Great vid again🫡.....i drive my rc cars like i paid for them.....yes i bash them hard,but i dont go out to try to break them!
You're saying nothing but the real deal! Keep up the good work, and try not to mind the bullies, they feed of us good people :)
I appreciate that
Great video. I totally agree skate parks are boring and I have no interest in smashing up my RC's nose darting in to concrete and costing myself 100 bucks in spares. If I wanted to send it to the moon I'd buy a plane. I love the REK RC guys where they race around a track at the park then racing around the baseball diamond and a bit of drag racing. Me and my mates set up a track at the park and do the same and we have a blast.. Keep up the great work mate.
Very good info! As a new UA-camr in RC this is really helpful!
Glad it was helpful!
I like your reviews! And how you don’t take the rc cars to skate parks to destroy! 😊👌🏾
Glad you like them!
I've said before and gladly again. I enjoy your content and the way you run your RC's. It's the way I run my stuff. I know it takes a lot off time to do a UTUBE CHANNEL. Keep going. From Texas.
I enjoy your channel, I am more "seasoned " person often confused with being an adult due to my age lol. I appreciate your honest open and more mature approach and a more grass roots approach. Skateparks can be fun - but not the be all. Seeing how durable the cars are is important. Trying to break them intentionally is not something I fully understand or agree with. As I'm discovering this " hobby" is expensive and learning how to enjoy and appreciate what we buy with whatever spare /saved £ we have is more for me. Raffles are good way to assist you to better your quality of videos and also help get the cars to review for us. And then we have the great chance to win something special . Keep the faith 🙏
Man you was cooking in this video you hit the nail on the head bro great job 💯
Appreciate that
GOOD ON YOU. Thank for the honesty. Be well and stay true to yourself. Grtz from Holland ❤
Thank you!
Always good to hear an honest viewpoint from someone going somewhat against the grain! Totally agree it’s a much better role model for parents getting their kids into to show them to respect their rc’s rather than going out to break them!
absolutely. Much appreciated. Its not always easy going against the grain as people have certain expectations!
Thank you so much. I am new to the RC hobby and first thing noticed was all the channels destroying cars .
When came across your channel was great to see was not. Now on look out for channels that are not.
I actually enjoy these types of videos it's always nice learning a little more about content creators, talking about finding spare time, The penny only dropped for me recently that I have a 40 min drive to work each day why haven't I been sticking the camera to the dashboard hitting record and having a chat with the views, quick and easy to edit and it doesn't really take up any additional time.
a great idea! You could cover a different topic every day!
I watch your channel to get some other opinions about some of the other main stream cars, but also to watch your cheaper RC reviews. I first thought they were all crap but I have learned a few things watching your channel, I appreciate that your channel is different.. otherwise why bother watching any others? keep going man, I'll keep watching..
You right I build tamiyas and the last thing I want to do is take them to the skate park I would rather go to a empty car park or wood land like you do in your videos and yeah drive in circles but at least your having fun and not smashing it to pieces good video man enjoyed it
Love your content and trust your reviews. You just keep doing you. If you can do something you enjoy / hobby and get paid for it, amazing !! Left a like 👍👍👍👍
I appreciate that!
@@beyondRC I don't comment on all your videos but i do watch every one of them. I`ve bought a lot of RC`s from your reviews and you`ve always done me right. Take care of that beautiful family 👍👍👍👍
@@Welsh-drones 🥰🥰
Really appreciate your ethos on respecting what you have. A very grounded channel and after returning to the hobby after 25 years I’m liking what u see.
I appreciate that!
Thanks for the insite to what you do to give us videos. Keep it going mate 👍
Thanks, will do!
I enjoyed this 2d part vid yes bud. I'd have questions to ask if you would have the time. Thank you man.
You make good points there. I have a small channel and you’ll never find me crashing my RCs on skate parks. Despite my channel’s name, I hate crashing my RCs. Keep going, keep doing what you’re doing and keep being different! 👍
That's the beautiful part, we all enjoy different aspects of the hobby.
I personally enjoy that repair and upgrade process, so if im not fixing or upgrading its not as enjoyable.
A skatepark is the easiest way to find the weaknesses of the RC Basher. Basher are meant to be.... wait for it.....BASHED.
I recently got a new vehicle, and it's not a Basher, but it's still gonna go to the skatepark in the spring, but not to send it off a ramp, because it's not a Basher.
Skateparks aren't just to send it, look at other channels, they take em there to drift, or just to try backflips without going 40' in the air.
Excellent matey, I think it’s very honest of you doing this kind of thing, the little channels like mine will deffo take on board what you’re saying. I’ve been plugging away for a while now and have had to take a few steps back at times as you know but I want it to work so I will continue plugging away haha
Really good points raised, here’s to the next 5 years buddy
Cheers matey keep up the great work 👍👍
Great vid as always, may i ask where that place is in the vid with the mt10, the forest area bit
Galley wood Common, Chelmsford. UK
Thanks for putting this out there. Really helpful. 🙂
Glad it was helpful!
Love your videos, hope you get 100k. I have alot of rc cars and a new youtube channel and would never smash up my cars.
Much appreciated! Good luck with the channel!!
I dont agree with the free product guidelines... does the cost of the product they sent you compensate you for your entire cost to film, produce, and edit that video?
Most of the time is a fraction of the cost because, your time costs money, transport to and from filming locations, etc etc. Unless they are covering that entire cost, I haven't been compensated, it's costing me money to make a video about that "free" product.....
I've got no problem mentioning how I acquired the product to my audience, but Its not a paid promotion, since it's costing me money to make, that's a joke, that needs to be removed or elaborated on by YT IMO.
I agree. It definitely doesn't. Yes the product may be free but like you said what about your time. Time costs money.. The way youtube sees it is that the actual product is the paid part and that's what we declare to the viewers. It can be argued that without a steady flow of new/recent products which a lot of the time are free once again that channels would find it harder to grow and stay relevant without seriously large investment. Very difficult topic but sadly no getting away from it. A lot of the videos made have cost more than the actual products themselves.. you will find a lot of creators make way more money through patreon, raffall, affiliate schemes and other sources compared to the actual ads on videos.
I love this vid. This Hobby is for everyone and everyone has preferences. What one likes others may not.
exactly! and i love being different. Not here to copy others :)
@beyondRC and im with you on taking care of your stuff.Most modern rcs wont break if you dont drive them hard. Even the budget ones. Im the same way, dont like to break my stuff
@@gamedogrc i honestly couldnt agree more. Most RC cars will not break at all even the weaker/lower end stuff if used as intended. What some may call boring was more than acceptable in the 80s/90s and early 2000's. Did we see Tamiyas at skateparks? No. its only since social media has exploded and influencers doing their job of influencing.. especially the younger crowd.
I agree with you on the skate park issue Ricky.
There are some Rc’s that I will or would take to skate park and the rest I don’t. My goal is not to see how long or how many bad landings it will take to break them. My free time is valuable, and definitely enjoy running them than I do repairing them.😂
I do however like to run them hard just breaking them is not the goal for me.
As for checking the box for paid promotions, I think many channels state in their videos that they received the product from the supplier or manufacturer for free, and to me that should be good enough. When my channel was current, I would always mention that something was sent to me for review. 95% of the time everything I reviewed was something I purchased with my own money. I didn’t want the hassle or pressure to review something I may not of been interested in or had time to review. So I think stating it in the video = to the consumer as checking the box.
Great conversation though my friend! I’ve been contemplating giving my channel another go , but with a slightly different format . Been wrestling with ideas for months now. Great job , your doing great it seems! All the best to you and your channel!👍🏻🙌🥂
give it another go!!
As always a good video and talking about the rc world is always good as for skateparks I don’t do them ether as my cars cost a lot of money and the parts can mount up. I work hard pay for my rc cars and enjoy using them and fixing them when as you know can break just running them. So keep up the good work and the chats 👍
Thanks 👍
Thanks for this video its given me good insight been doing my channel on and off now for just over a year .
found out over the weekend most of my videos have now been hit with copyright claims all off the same company . I have a subscription for royalty free music which I have used on them all
have you had anything like this? and what do you use thanks
epidemic sounds i use. Have done for over 4 years now with no issues
@beyondRC Thanks I was just looking at the site now I will give them a try it's a nightmare. Trying to sort my videos out now youtube not very helpful. Thank you very much for your help
Great video, some good points. I don't have my own channel just enjoy rc hobby. Skate parks are not my thing, each to there own. Like you I was brought up to look after my things not destroy them plus I wouldn't be able to afford to keep replacing parts broken. As I said the hobby is doing what you enjoy or what makes you happy. Keep up the great work.
Well said!
Its not a durability test its just when will something break. Last year when I went to Arrmageddon there were plenty of ramps setup most people were ground pounding, just racing up and down the street and through the field. So most people dont bash like that this is what I call this the Tolbert syndrome you see a lot of small channels copy this because they think its the way to grow a channel. For me I keep my cars because I buy them I dont prefer to scratch them up or break them or break them I did it a few times but no more for me. Anyways here in the US we have the same here with the paid content it does seem like we get money to make the video and for most especially me its not true. I find review vids sucking the fun out of it I like setting up extra cameras and that all the extra work it takes I stopped doing it for every car but just going out and having fun sticking a camera on my head is still fun its fairly easy to make and for me it gives me a reason to go out and not just sit in the house I am retired military with back issues so rc gives me a reason to go outside and have a little fun.
totally agree. Definitely some small channels who feel the need to be like Mr Talbot in the interest of trying to grow their channel. Talbot had his fun now its time for things to come back down to earth not the MOON! haha
Yes i try to keep my bottom plate free from scratches 😂

Always!
For us consumers. Even though I've seen the skate park videos. I may drive it around 15-30 minutes to clear my mind. I will in no way grab my investment in an rc and destroy it.
Very wise!
Respect brother.
Yesir you get the gold medal from me
I couldn't agree more Ricky.!!
I like to take my RCs out as often as I can & I can't do that if they're always broken from ragging them around a skate park.
I aim to take them home in the same condition they were in when I took them out.! 😉
I'm 100% fine with Raffles mate, if it gives us a chance to win something & generates a little income for you & your channel then that can only be a good thing.!!!
In moderation though...
Some channels are all about their raffles nowadays, they talk about them all video long & have multiple raffles at any one time & it just feels cheap.!
As long as you're still enjoying the hobby I believe you'll always find the motivation to carry on.!!👍
It's important to give yourself a little break from time to time too.
Just keep on keeping on my friend.!! 👍 👍 👍
I don't think it's right for us to expect a constant & regular supply of videos from you or any other UA-camr... Quality is more important than quantity & the quality would definitely suffer if you were to push yourself too hard & it became a chore to do.!
Just go at your own pace, keep it real, HAVE FUN & we'll be more than happy.!

Long time viewer and first time commenter, thanks for doing this, I have a young kid and he got totally wrong after he watch so many basher viewer, to a point I ban him from watching utube now he is driving rc normally after I thought him not to follower basher video as they get free cars and they get paid bashing while we don't, now he wants to be utuber
Would be cool if u can do more video on mod on cheap rc

I found your channel only recently, a lot more down to earth and less 'MTV' than others I have seen. I didn't know about Kevin's channel before a day or two ago and it's not my style. Tomley's is the one I've watched most, but again only over the last few weeks and it's about as 'extreme' as I'd like - he does the breakage so my wallet doesn't suffer. As a 30-something Dad of a wee boy, i look forward to getting him into the hobby, he's only 2 so some ways to go yet. Good work with your channel, just do what you do best, don't be like the others - it gets boring.
appreciate that cheers
you ever go and race any of your cars. that would be another go way to get people to watch
no local tracks :(
14 days off a month ! In my book that is already a part time job 😂

Skatepark bashing is for clicks, and the intension is to break the RC. Its like watching NASCAR just for the crashes, or a hockey match for the fights. It fine, but also played out and missing the main part. I like watching your videos for the realistic approach, and respect for your investment. Keep doing what you do. Its good to see a different approach, and keeping it realistic. I have never seen Raffal until I got into RC's. Drone channels don't have it, and other hobby channels are not that big into it. I have mixed feelings about it. I personally wont ever buy ticket to be honest, but at least you dont plug your Raffal 4 times a video like some do... Anyway, thanks for the video and looking forward to more.
Bashing on a skate park is not what the rc hobby is about or what the are made for, like you say. It's about enjoying it. We are spending our own money at the end of the day not being a UA-camr myself, rc companies just what people to review their product to get them out there to sell rather than us making our own minds up, we all know what we can get and want without companies pushing free cars out there
I seldom go to skate parks and if I do, I take my toughest Chinese 18th, 16th, 14th scales. For one they are cheap and the smaller they are the less weight contributing to breakage and really bendy plastics makes them last longer as a rule. I watch Thunder RC, Kev, Phil just to name a few. Its fun to watch others on skate parks breaking their stuff. I am not sure how you convince people that skate parks are the hardest thing on RC products breaks them and that is part of it. No such thing as a skate park proof truck. Micro fractures can occur on just about any of them and eventually that part will fail. Its like people do not want to hear it. Then they call the product trash which is wrong. If it does not break, then I say you had a lucky day.
i have seen perfectly good trucks get destroyed intentionally at skateparks and then called trash and given a bad review.. now that i dont agree with!
@beyondRC Same here. We all lose when that happens repeatedly. We need them all to push inovation and new models. Otherwise we will all be running some flavor of a Slash. The slash is a great truck but with no competition the remaining manufacturers will not spend money on new designs or think out side of the box and take chances on a product.
What’s your thoughts on UA-camr using promotions on yt to get views or subs, is it considered cheating? Or fake?
i think you mean youtube promotions? they can help generate extra subs/views but organic growth is best you want people returning not watching once!
When seeing all of these RC channels on UA-cam show up over the years I've seen one thing durability testing, of course it's not all about durability but if I'm going to spend large amounts of money on an RC I'd like to know that it's up to the bashing, I know it's not all about the bashing or durability but that's a big part of it, whether it's out of skate park or a BMX track or an MX track or or a giant field, don't get me wrong I get it , just to review an RC and break it just for the review no I'm not quite into that either, but from what I've seen with all these different UA-cam channels whether it's crawling or bashing they're always trying to weed out the weak spots in these RCs, no better way to get the bugs and all the little quirks worked out of an RC then to put it through its paces, whether it be racing crawling or bashing RCs as long as you're getting your message out there should be nothing to complain about, there are so many channels for RC out there there's a little something for everyone now whether it's bashing racing crawling or just going for a walk, as long as you get a message out there without being a total retard about it" you know the channels I'm talking about",if I'm going to spend over $2,000 on a giant monster truck RC I'd like to know that that thing can handle the punishment that they say it can handle, everything in life can be broken sometimes we'd like to see if that thing can be broken before we buy it and it breaks on the end user.
nice video, as you know i have a creators channel but i dont and wont ever do it for making money, i dont have enough subs for a start, i tnd to do it to use YT as a server to store my content and if i get a like or a comment all good, now to skateparks, they are model killers even the mighty xmaxx will break at a park, there is also a danger of a kid getting hit by an rc out of control
Really like UA-camrs like yourself, always get better content from smaller channels. I feel like the big names on UA-cam just do it to get more views. And you don’t get a realistic view of an rc car. I’m primarily a basher myself and i do from time to time break my rc’s but I’m not fan of skate park bashing. It seems to be a very unrealistic way of testing an rc.
very true i agree
It’s nice enough watching an rc at a skate park but I never take mine there. Fair enough not doing it on your channel.
Empty car parks are always fun
Cool cars.
Thank you :)
Personally I cringe when watching cars being smashed to pieces purly to get views, crazy as their not even my cars ha ha.
yep..
I'm a strong believer in " to each their own " but things are kinda getting weird. We have crawlers that are geard to the limit, 6S systems or higher, sencerd at least sometimes, basically taking something that is exactly made to do one thing and making it into something else, that can be fun, but is it really useful, who wants a crawler that hits 40 to 50 miles per hour? Your just going to break it, and eventually become to heavy with hop up's to be a crawler? Crazy 🤣😂
lol to be fair i have done some overpowered stuff in the past but not very often :P
Skate parks vids aren't for me, im into crawlers, rally cars, sail boats and scatch built boats👍
👍👍👍
Dude. Just don't use skateparks.......stop addressing it and move on. If I want affordability I watch you and Tomley.
If I wanna see crazy shit, I watch Kev! Have a race and get it over with lol
Did you watch the vid? I quite clearly said that's the last you will be hearing about skateparks.. i wouldn't have to keep addressing it if it wasn't such a massive issue in the hobby and the younger generation seeing it as 'The norm'
@beyondRC chill dude. Just hope you stick to it. Enjoy your channel. I can see it's a sensitive issue. Apologies.
@@petegiles4817 I’m chilled? lol. You asked me to stop addressing it but I covered it in the vid. What part of my reply wasn’t chilled? 😂😂
Why does this need a part twp?
Does it matter if there is a part twp?
@@beyondRC lmao
Yeah, problem is it's not just kids it's adults or ages 16 and up who are easily infuanced and smash their cars up to fit in.
Have you seen how many channels are popping up doing the same thing and even copying the styles of other channel presenters lol. Really, the bigger channels that do that sort of thing are the ones that want to chase money, the fact about entertainment, whether it be TV or UA-cam is that the audiance want excitment and action. So, they deliver that and they get views which equates to more money coming in, and so they can buy more cars and parts to smash up again and it's a circle. They then acheive their goal of making lots of money.
Money makes the world go 'round and we all want to make as much of it as we can, some people throw morals out the window and just go hell for leather to get their goals and others try to set good examples while trying to reach their goals.
Facts are the ones with the action, shouting and distruction do far better than the calmer ones because, again viewers like distruction and action.
Either way, I suppose as long as you make your money genuinly it's all ok 🤷🏻♂😆
100% correct. Everyone wants a piece of the pie and will sell their souls to get it. I’m not about that mate I prefer doing things my way and if people don’t enjoy it they can move on. I don’t have to copy the larger channels and judging by the comments on this vid people like watching me for that very reason. The fact I go against the grain if you will. Some may say I’m boring to watch mostly with my running footage but I don’t care I’m doing what I see is right. Following the crowd and copying large channels is for losers 😛
Keep skateboards at skateparks, that's why they are there. I mean really, what isn't going to break by hitting concrete at 10+ ft from the air. Definitely not a plastic "toy" car. How much testing is required to know this. The UA-cam channels that purposely wreck these cars for the sake of durability test have lots of money and obviously get sh*t for free. So why should they care.. And then, Isn't that what a UA-camr is, a Influencer. Definitely influencing people in the wrong ways. On the other hand, most of us should be smart enough to make the decision how and where we want to ride our cars. If you wanna see thing fly get into RC Planes or FPV Drones. When I see people crash their planes I wanna tell them get a RC Car, none of that stuff with cars, well now there is plenty of it with the cars. People love seeing their cars "define gravity". They always lose though.. Lol
Your videos are great and appreciated by a wide audience. I’ve bought (and modified) rc cars based on your videos, so thanks again, it’s really helped me finally find a hobby I enjoy.
Awesome, thank you!
Nice vid, good points about skate park,s, don't make no sense, buying a top dollar rc or even a budget one,s, to go & smash the shat out of them, the big problem at the moment is daylight, lol, in part 3 could you mention about other channels copying content, or stealing ideas, & how important it is too use your own imagination, i find that the big boy channels do this a lot, as in themes ,settings, ideas in their vids 😉👍, I have seen themes, settings in vids taken from my small channel, & used in boyz channels vids,, it really really f@#king annoying,😱😱😉👍
My thoughts exactly
Hahaha. I love making videos..... MY Way. About my vehicles. I feel bad for you guys Really LOL
bravoooo
Hi,Skaterpark Videos hasse ich auch,ich persönlich fahre garnicht in Skaterparks.
The Raffles are cool if the tickets are cheap and capped!! and not trying to raffle off a used RC for $1000's!. and I mean let's be real most creators are trying to make as much money from us as they can, which really there's nothing wrong with it when its kept somewhat realistic, but I don't think it's fair raffling off a $200 RC car and waiting to sell a couple thousand dollars worth of tickets before the Raffle is up. There's got to be some kind of cap on it,IMO. That would be like me going to a group with 2000 hungry people there and telling each of them to give me a $1.00 and after everybody gives me their dollar then I'll go out and throw it to one of them hahah!!! Imo 😂😂🤷🏼♂️. Sometimes even the company will give them an extra car to do a "Giveaway" but instead they auction It off on Raffle lol. But It is about making that mighty dollar and I'm obviously I made the wrong career move!!!.😂😂.
Ok Sorry for the silly Rant., but about the skate parks I don't have a skatepark around me but even if I did I wouldn't go near it. I never liked the skate parks, closest thing to a park I've ever been to is a baseball diamond lol.. I even hate the sound of the it when they're slapping chassis off the concrete, I like my trucks and cars in the dirt or off road, it's definitely more enjoyable kicking up roost around the the burms "Braaappp"!! 😂😂 Taking hole shots and blowin donuts!.. come on now ,.if you don't find that more pleasing and exciting than just hitting a jump and waiting for the chassis to slap the cement and throwing a prayer up to the sky that's going to drive away after each landing, then have at it at if it as long as your having fun..🤘🏻.
It doesn't mean I baby them either because I'll rip through the culm dumps and trails full tilt shredding the tires right off it haha. I just don't see the meaning of going to a skate park possibly only hitting one jump and crack your rig in half on the first landing, remember!. it's the Landings that breaks your cars, not the jumps. 💯✌🏻.. but anyways always love your videos. Keep doing what you're doing.
Much appreciated
So you don't like Kevin T's content? 😢😅
Like him as a person yes. Don’t like the skatepark destruction vids. No 👍
@beyondRC at least on his last one with the Primal RC monster truck, he didn't destruct anything. Lol. Kev is growing.
@@beyondRC you have to admit, KamakaziRC at the skatepark is sick af. 🙌
I was distracted by your plain Jane walls 🧱. Lol jk.
haha its my spare room.. give me a break!
@beyondRC I should have waited until later in the video because you explained what happened to your cool setup you had back in the day.
Appreciate the honesty. Very helpful. Your a real one bro🫡👍✌🏼
I appreciate that 🥰
