Coming clean with you about my addiction

- Back in the summer I did an RC car video, almost as a joke. Well, a few companies sent me some real nice cars, and they got me hooked. Now, I'm a full blown RC hobbyist. I get to be a beginner at something again.

It feels good to come clean. This has really helped me get my mind off the nerve pain during my recovery. If you follow me on Instagram you know this pain may last up to a year, and that I have to take a lot of medicine and go to a lot of doctor's appointments. We think some of my nerves were damaged during an injection after the surgery, and nerves heal slow. The second I can get back on a bike, I will. Until then we can drive RC's, fix bikes, and watch my friends ride bikes!
That ain’t good, I just hope all goes well. I’ll keep u in my prayers.🙏🙂
Here’s hoping for a speedy recovery, man. In the meantime, I have to say I’ve actually been enjoying the RC videos. It’s cool to know that community isn’t as pretentious as I always thought it was, especially since the biking community can be sometimes.
Sorry about the pain!
But it's really been great to see RCs on the channel, I'm an aspiring RC car driver myself, and a mountain bike addict. What a coincidence haha!
Anyway, keep up the good work and keep enjoying the cars!
This video is amazing and I laughed no stop because the black and white entrance
Dang junky 😆
"I know you guys don't always like RC content on here"
Seth, we watched you take your trash out with an excavator
We watched him make omelets.
@@rcranes2227 I didnt like that honestly
trueeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
Yeah. Personally after watching Seths videos for years, (which inspired me to get back into mountainbiking), i will watch anything he posts wheter i like it or not. Call it sunk cost.. or more accurate great, high quality content, with an awesome guy that has character. It's been really cool to see the evolution of this channel and his life!
@@randomguy1768 true, but then again. We did watch it entirely
Seth make a "i cannot stress how much this isnt a tutorial" shirt
nice, maybe one with "do as I say not as I do."
Yes
Do it!
That’s a lot of words.
Or an Anything but a tutorial shirt
Welcome to the addiction. I started back when I was 13 or 14. Gave it up for 10 years after my dad and brother passed away 24 hrs apart. They were my RC partners… then picked it back up during a back injury. Helped me heal mentally and physically. It’s a blast!
Good on you bro 🤜🤛
Spoilers:
It's not drugs.
I was really scared when i saw the title.
Drugs would be cheaper
Am I the only one that want Seth to remake a scale model of the Berm Peak trails and features with popsicle sticks in his basement so he can send RC cars on them.
Yes
Yes
sounds interesting
Now that it's been said... wait 1 month. ^^
No
After ruining our lives by making us buy bikes and enjoy ourselfes outside, seth makes us spend whatever money we have left on rc-cars.
Money well spent
right
It makes me really happy that you're enjoying the RC bug! The RC community is top-notch. I started out as a 12 year old kid riding my bike into the hobby shop after school almost every day and they made it attainable for me to get super deep into it (letting us loiter there / setting us up with old vehicles , parts, etc. / and always helping us out). It also taught me how to use tools, solder, program electronics and gave me the passion to care about school and pursue engineering. The hobby shop folks also happened to be bikers, so that's eventually how I found MTB too. Rock on Seth!
I'm gonna cry 😭
"This is the most action I've seen in months." Damn, I felt that
what else are you going to do when healing dude. Bash on brother.
Little does everyone know he got his injury so he could play more rc
Send em a rc drift car, it'd be perfect in that basement🤘🤘
Damm KpopRC you're here to
Bash with a crawler ?
We need a kpopRC and Seth collab
Everyone: Is this a MTB channel?
Seth: Something different, but kinda the same
As long as the RC crawls over an mountain bike, then yes
2:55 when he hooked it up and it started pulling the load like you'd see maybe in a pickup truck commercial, I done LOL died.
They are torquey little basterds, had mine drag me down the street on my skate board as it wheelied fighting my 200 pound frame
@@afroman5531 lol, i just made a video of my traxxas rustler pulling me on my roller blades
“I know you don’t want this on the main channel” this is exactly what we want, love the vids man keep up the good work 👊
I like that your addiction is RC’s. We’re all kids on the inside. Look at losi’s tenacity. Great budget sct
I'd say the 22s sct is better. Only problem is 2wd which is still incredibly capable
@@dandixon7163 I would have said something like the XXX but they’re getting harder to find in the lower tier
As a viewer for about 2 years. I’m gonna be honest the title scared the hell outta me.
Yep same
same
Title did, once I saw the thumbnail I knew though.
Same
ME TOO!
2:56 I'm building a truck specifically for doing stuff like that.
Edit it's a 4 foot long dual motor dual esc quad battery dually
That is unnecessary and completely ridiculous... and also the point of a hobby, I love it. 😂😂 best of luck with it! Have fun!
I loved RC as a kid and I absolutely love the leaps and bounds the hobby has made over the last 20 years.
Seth is the epitome of "You don't grow up, you just get better toys"
An older woman came up to me while i was playing with my rc crawler just to tell me "It just goes to show boys don't grow up, they just get bigger toys". She wasnt wrong.
@@WaabiiSaabii nice, dude!
@@WaabiiSaabii my dad saids that to. In a way it true but we do grow up. But it a responsibility to be a real men. Men need something to cool off. It good to have a healthy hobby. Instead of something bad like alcohol or cheating
As someone who has enjoyed RC since a little kid, I'm really glad to see it making its way onto this channel. I was into RC far before biking which led me to your videos years ago and I find it hilarious that everything has come full circle. Keep up the good work and welcome to a great hobby!
I’m coming to these RC videos a little late, but I am loving every. single. one. Please don’t stop!
Up next on Berm Peak: Turning my Honda Ridgeline into a Hardcore Rock crawler!
He should get a jeep jl or jt or some old Suzuki or rav 4
😂😂
@@JJ-pp6tz Yeah he should. Have you seen the "rad" 4 that Dirt Every Day made on motor trend?
Seth’s addiction is *trending*
Not anymore
“The first step to stopping addiction is understanding you have a problem, and my problem is storage”
I had a tamiya hornet when I was a kid, and I just loved it! I love the process of building it up, riding it around, as you point out the joy of fixing it and making it better. Such a blast!
Add a GoPro inside of the RC cars.

@@fergusstewart1911 yea but id be More fun if seth did it
@@DaddyM7MD True
@@NotBubZ Someone wake up on the wrong side of bed?
Ok, In his defense, they are fun as heck. Whenever your wife says “your spending to much money on RC’s” just tell her “they are more expensive addictions.” My dads addiction is buying bikes, and I’m no longer going to college.
"Honey, its 600 dollar RC cars or 16000 dollar Ducati's... or 45.000 dollar.... Ducati's when the real special ones comes around! :D "
I think he means mountain bikes
Seth is by far one of the best few UA-camrs I've seen that keep their style and content consistent for a long period of time.
I honestly really love your new rc videos! I would love to continue seeing them!
Admitting you have a problem is the first step 🍻
Hey buddy i didn't know you liked rc cars too
Best one to start out in my opinion is the traxxas rustler for track and speed
For off road crawling
Provably the the traxxas trail blazer
The fact he was even brave enough to say so, not even considering he made a video about it, earns his respect in my book
Hi vlog epicness, nice tc 85👌✊
Hello vlog epicness
@@speedyboi349 no go with arumora traxxas tend to break and be slower
I'm not into RC cars, but there's something wrong with a person who doesn't enjoy this shit.
It definitely has a meditative quality to it. Something therapeutic about just watching the little things tackle obstacles and scale inclines. And do what keeps you happy and what you're passionate about while you're recovering.
Hey Seth there are a few folks in asheville who run rc. We got pretty serious into it a few years ago. Hobby own asheville used to have a parking lot track. Makes me stoked to see another biker/ outdoor dude playing with these. Check on the new team losi mini b.
Looks like Seth is gonna have to make another channel called “Seth’s RC Hacks”
Or maybe Bump Peaks
Jokes aside I would actually love this
I prefer faster RCs myself, but the cool thing about crawlers is you don’t need as much space and they don’t attract as much attention. Love seeing RCs on this channel!
I have the Slash 4x4 vxl. I installed my friend's old stampede tires on it and trimmed the body to make a monster slash. I also am getting an Arrma granite voltage and plan to get a trx 4 sport.
That's awesome I have the trx4 sport and it is super good but around were i live it is super muddy outside and it's to big to use Inside so if where you live its muddy l would suggest a smaller 1 16 model
Yeah I've loved seeing all these RCs on the channel because I love RC cars and mountain bikes, what a great coincidence! Great to see some more people getting into the hobby.
And haha same! I prefer the faster cars, but crawlers are really cool as well. So scale! I wanna get the Arrma Typhon soon, looks like a sweet setup.
If someone becomes a hobbyist with RC, they should get a small crawler and a big fast one.
@@justaregularguyontwowheels1644 yea, its pretty muddy here in Utah, but there are sooo many hiking trails to take an rc on. Great Salt Lake, Suncrest by mtb trails, Moab, St. George, Capitol reef and many more.
In 2013 I had a massive nervous breakdown. I ended up in the ER drugged up on anxiety meds that were only just barely strong enough, and for the next two weeks I felt like my skin was on fire. The stress that had caused the nervous breakdown didn't immediately vanish, of course, and over the next few months my condition slowly improved in some ways and slowly worsened in other ways. I lost the ability to ride my mountain bike until this year, 2022, because I lost the ability to distinguish between my heart racing from a panic attack vs. my heart racing from physical exertion. As a result, every time I tried to ride I would get incredibly jittery and lightheaded. 9 years later I can still barely stand the stress of driving, but I can finally ride again. In the meantime I spent a LOT of time (and money) on my RC car collection. I hope your foot is finally feeling better.
I feel you on your rc hobby. After my cancer surgery 5 years ago this was the perfect therapy for me while recovering. It’s become my addiction too and hope to keep doing this for the long term. Looking forward to seeing more of your rc’ing! Enjoy your passion!
Seth this week: *Coming clean with you about my addiction*
Seth next week: So we're start a new channel called "Seth's RC Hacks"
No lie. I would suscribe and watch. With Seth's video editing skills and likeable personality, he'd do great.
that would be awesome
I thought he was going to say heroin
So It would be Seth's heroin lab
I'm curious to see how long it takes for Seth to evolve to a 1:1 scale truck.
That so big you can sit in it
@@smokingdog9349 it doesn't have to be very big for Seth.
@@BlueCollarBachelor hehehe
@@smokingdog9349 yeah that's what he meant by 1:1.
RC rock crawling cost less while having the same principle, just like RC drifting. If Seth has enough disposable income then maybe he'd build a real rock crawling truck.
Finally, The whole time I have been watching you I loved biking, and at the same time, I loved RC trucks.
RC crawlers are my favorite things. They're so much fun to just mess around with. Like you said, it's fun to have little zoned out challenges to see if you can conquer them.
Seth should make his own rc car line in his backyard 😂
Okay good, Seth isn’t addicted to heroin 😂
that's what thought this was too
@@legoman8960 same lol
I hope you do do more RC videos this one is super cool, again appreciate you sharing. This is the beauty of the hobby, best therapy there is, always feel better when I get back from a trail run,So I definitely will watch for more
Whether you're mountain biking or scale rock crawling your videos are always entertaining and I'll keep watching! The crawlers are loads of fun to watch and Seth's clever upgrades are pretty impressive too.
This is the power that our wifes, moms, sisters, daughters or girlfriends fear so much. The power to just sit there and being brain dead amused.
I suppose you didn't notice that one of the RC enthusiasts in this video is a woman?
You are so right my dude
@@mattgies She's one of us now, my friend.
Me: casually researches every r/c truck on the planet.
Justin Renda I looked at getting one of the bigger ones, but I have no space to fix it(and I cant go outside because I live in the uk) and it's quite expensive
@@antonygibson_ Kevin Talbot has like 3 trx4’s and he lives in the uk lol
@@joshuamei7465 it was a (very bad) joke. Dont worry about it
@@joshuamei7465 yeah and a raminator 2 x maxx's a bunch of kratons and more
LOL! I'm glad this showed up in my feed. I too got addicted. I've since recovered, but even just seeing it, seeing others enjoying it, seeing the latest version of it, fills me with longing ...
Love the RC videos, the RC trucks are amazing these days with rock crawlers really changing the hobby in that you can do it in your yard or house.
Next in “my strange addiction”
:Seth I’m addicted to Rc Rock crawlers
As someone who burned himself seriously out getting a business off the ground: It's incredibly important to have (and actually do) hobbies that aren't work. Just be careful, if you're working on something you're passionate about there's a good chance your hobby is related in some way. Try to avoid mixing them up or you'll quickly be back without a hobby to recharge your batteries with.
So damn true!
Seth, I've been RCing for years, mostly short course trucks. Yesterday(because of this video) I bought an SCX24 and I've never had so much fun. Within a few hours it's now most modified truck.
Really loving the awesome R/C content! Can't wait to see more!
You know this is just a gateway “drug.” You start out with mini crawlers now. Then you will have a full size crawler that you drive! Haha
Lmao
Soon, buddy. Soon.
It's a very expensive habit
Lmao
Very Accurate
We the biking/rc community love your content and please never stop the rc trucks its literally a double whammy and makes your channel one of my top five favs
Welcome to the family of RC scaled adventures!! Nice work!! I’ve built a similar indoor track of my own for my kids and I. We also have the addiction for these amazing RC trail/rock climbing vehicles as well. You said it best that until you actually see it and do it yourself it’s hard to explain how much fun it truly is and to try and see if these RC’s can do crazy obstacles. It’s almost therapeutic in so many ways for me. When I’m filming our videos with the family or just my son and I we have so much fun together and it brings smiles to our faces. It’s almost built an eBay and Amazon addiction as well customizing these rigs to whatever your heart desires. I used to build cars and trucks for a living and in a way this gives me so much freedom and pleasure to feel so close to the real thing mind you on a much smaller scale. No matter how the day has been or if my kids are having a down day we can always get the RC’s out and bash or crawl and for those few hours those problems or issues seem to fade away while having so much fun together. Keep it up and thanks for the great material!!!
I've always loved RC. I'm glad to see the content!
"They don't take themselves seriously"-Seth. If you see the racers, sometimes there's fights like parents at their kids baseball game. It get's serious.
haha yes I know one personally... of course I'm referring to the basher crowd
@@BermPeakExpress sup Seth
As a racer, I know those people are frowned upon at my track. We all try to get out there and have fun. Sometimes things happen to the best of us though. We always make sure to be informative, and nice to the new racers.
Funniest hissy fit I ever saw was a kid who was sponsored turn up at our local club.
He thinks he's the biggest thing going, I mean he was, he was fooking massive :D
Deal is after you race you marshal the next, turn over the cars that crash ect.
That's not good enough for slim.
He crashes and screams! for daddy to turn his car over. Poor guy who went to do it, who was stood right there, gets a stream of abuse about touching his car while daddy hops and skips around the track to get to the stricken car.
Of course none of us bother to get his car next time which has him hemorrhaging time and makes him even angrier then crash more.
Despite all of his sponsored top class gear he wasn't any quicker than the best of us so of course had his arse handed to him. Don't think he ever came back.
Oh we did have a regular who used to throw his car across the track back towards the pits if he had a bad race, which just made it worse.
My theory, add carbon to any hobby and it attracts the assholes.
I don’t think that any MTBer I know doesn’t like RC cars.
I dissagree
I mtb, and I love R/C!
@@reyb6094 Well, I don’t know you, so my statement still stands.
Growing up there were two things I always wanted for xmas: A Moped and an RC. They’re tinker hobbies just like mountain biking. I think you’ll find more of your audience likes RCs than dont.
I got a build kit and put together a traxxis back in the day. Putting it together was amazing. Feels like your a mechanic. And yah! whatever puts the smile on the face!!
The soundtrack makes me feel like I’m watching Matt’s Off Road Recovery.
And TrailRecon. It's the gold standard for UA-cam Offroading music.
I thought I was the only one
You literally combined my two most favorite things in the world I love this channel
Finally RC videos, I loved them before I started mountain biking.
I hope you feel better from your injury!
Yes finally RC’s I was hoping you would start this hobby
It's an addiction, not a hobby
@@vilniakas its both...but it should be a hobby...i mean offense but..the more old u get your bones heal slower and...well seth..i think that this is perfect for him..
@@vilniakas it's a hobby he was kinda joking
@@JAfonsoNunesMartins10 yeah, it's all fun and chat, i have one rc car myself, and i can 100% agree it's an addiction. I just want more.
@@vilniakas nice, I had one but it broke and I never bothered to fix it, maybe I'll think of it. I'm the opposite of Seth, just started MTB and been loving it and came from another thing and he did mtb but now is playing with rc cars
Seth, this was so entertaining even though it wasn't biking. I just wanted to say thank you, you ha e been doing such a good job making entertaining content even while you've been hurt. Keep it up man!
Anything he makes is entertaining
Hey Seth, my 10 year old son and I have been watching you since you built your first mountain bike trails around your yard.. which he decided to try to do at our condo complex! Trail markers and everything.. we have been riding for the last few years and really enjoyed your channel and this year we got micro crawlers and when we saw your RC videos we thought this is great!! Seth is into RC crawlers now! They are a ton of fun and amazing capabilities and you can use them where the bikes go. Thanks for sharing your addiction.. you’re not alone!!
Seth you make the most wholesome content! Happy new year!!
We knew all along Seth, it was clear that you loved rc cars from day one but us as loyal subscribers can afford rehab for you😂🤣
yes we can
I have an addiction too....it's to Berm Peak. :O I need help!!
Just bought 2 wpl c24 for my 2 sons as a christmas gift. Now they’re always wanting to go outside and play with it, and that’s a very good thing. When the battery runs out then they ride bicycles. 👌
Never thought I’d see Seth making RC content but I’m totally here for it
Next channel: “Berm peak RC”
Or Berm Peak Crawlers
Yes
Ya
UA-cam: How much clickbait should the title be?
Seth: Yes
Its nnot clickbait
@@Randombikekid Having an addictive personality can be very bad, you can get addicted to anything very easy so if you're not careful with an addictive personality you can easily end up as an alcoholic or drug addict. However, if you manage to channel it into something good and productive you can gain from it.
Not clickbait. I knew he was talking about rc as soon as I glanced at the thumbnail
RC is an amazing hobby. Excited to see more content!!
Wow. This is such a compelling story. I really hope you can overcome this addiction. Millions of families suffer from this every year.
If this turns into a RC crawler channel i wont be disappointed
Mustafa Kirman I will
I see a collaboration with "Matt's off road recovery" coming soon😄
I thought I'm the only one watching them both
Hahahaha i was thinking exactly the same my heart jumped when the tune came in xD
So you’re telling me I’m not the only one!
well there are other fans of matt out there 😄
I did the TRX4 Sport build kit, so much fun putting it together. And almost as much fun driving it.
As a person who's into rc big time, this is so true, the addiction with looking at the car driving around and kicking dirt up is just insane. I'm personally not into crawlers but more into huge off-road scale bashers that go 50mph+ but the experience is exactly the same with any car that you prefer, like you said the Hobby's all about having *fun* 👍
Seth: This Suzuki Jimny is one of my favorites
*Mighty Car Mods has entered the chat*
I wanted to see if someone would come here from mighty car mods😂
Seems like people with similar interests watch the same videos (:
The really embarrassing thing is I’m addicted to watching people do there addictions 😂🙉
I’m addicted to correcting people on their grammar and spelling.
გიჟი
I got into rc rock crawling due to your videos. So much fun. Please make another video!
I just started watching your channel. I’ve recently just started to get into the RC world and love it. Keep the videos coming.
Don't be ashamed, I'm addicted to RC Airplanes.
I like rc forklifts, ill buy a real one one day but for now ill make one
i got one crawler and after 3 days im already addicted
I loved rc things.. had an rc helicopter that broke when i was a kid and was sad
But those are airplanes, nobody likes those. ;) jk jk
I bought a traxxas slash, ripped it around for a month or two, broke multiple driveshafts and shocks, sold it and bought a racing simulator
At first, I actually thought he had an addiction to pain killers because of his leg
When he hitched the Radio Flyer up to the Defender, it got me😂😂😂
You absolutely nailed why it's such a great hobby - If you are having fun - you are doing it right ! ;)
Me: gets a rc car collection like Seth's
My cousins: We attack at dawn.
I can relate from personal experience
I laughed too hard when he said, “This is the most action I’ve seen in months” 😂😂
His wife is prolly shaking her head.
You have a great presentation and I’m happy watching you do your thing.
My thing is metal detecting, bikes are a mode of transport. I still get to enjoy the ride taking a scenic route or a short cut.
Still learning from you about fixing my bikes and watching you and your friends “Shredding” is also entertaining.
Thanks for sharing everything you do!
Rc cars are a blast! I love the technical side of them. The Traxxas TRX with its locking diffs and 2 speed trans is way cool! Its a fun hobby that doesn't take much effort. I can spend hours with my kids and have a blast! Bash on brother! Keep up the great videos! Happy new year
I love that he’s bringing these two hobbies together, they have a lot of overlap, I’ve been in the Rc hobby for about 10 years and bikes forever, so this is really cool👍
I would love to see a video series where you build one of those crawler kits that you have to build from scratch. Like if you agree.
After watching this again after two years I got all my RC cars out this last month lol they never get old and bought me a new Micro SCX24 Gladiator Jeep. I too had a Hip Surgery (2020)they kept me entertained for months.
Bought a TRX4 defender 2 years ago after having multiple crawlers... hands down the best crawler 👌🏼 remote diff locks and T case gears are the best
I’m proud of Seth for opening up about his addiction

I was into rc crawlers when I was a kid, and got out of the hobby one way or another. I have wanted to get back into it for years now, but couldn't justify spending $400 on a 1/10th scale crawler. Then I saw your 1/24th scale crawler video... I bought an scx24 and I've been hooked ever since. I fully upgraded my truck, and built a belly dragger comp truck with the spare parts and a new chassis. Now I'm thinking about buying another truck to do a different build. Thanks for getting me back into crawlers man, I genuinely enjoy it!
Sweet! I just got a trx4 Bronco a month ago. Such an impressively capable machine that I’m finding to be extremely enjoyable.
