Another vote for making this a series! Very fun and informative.

[@RazorRC]

This was funny, educational, and entertaining. Enjoyed it immensely! That walk through the wall was pretty sick!

[@MrMaPierce]

Definitely keep these going!

[@Jimmy2Horses]

Need to make this a regular segment.

[@OldManGoatHair.6985]

Well done AMain. Would love to see another one in the future.

[@youtubeviewer9523]

The video no-one knew we wanted, but we all needed

[@georgestuckey8529]

That was genius! Please do this regularly. Hilarious and educational. I'm a better man for having watched it. Thank you!

[@zackoftrades8547]

This was an awesome concept for a video. Also cool to see the amain atmosphere in the background. I also work in a call center/office setting and it's always cool to see how other people run their shenanigans.

[@jackdurden466]

Excellent video guys! I learned a few things and I won’t forget them. Appreciated! 👍

[@Stewpkiddable]

this video should have millions of views. you guys are criminally underrated and will pop sooner than later.

[@AMain_Hobbies]

Thank you Rob! I was really proud of this video. -Brett

[@freddieparrydrums]

Wow, this is a great series idea! Loved it!

[@gunsandcommissions]

Jay Halsey is a legend! Love those gold pan RC10s with spiked tires running on actual dirt. Back when racing RCs actually looked like 1:1 vehicles. These new buggies would absolutely destroy them though!

[@gourobkundu2173]

Make this a series, pleeeeease. 🙏

[@DavidStadelman82]

My mind is absolutely shot at this point, and this video has made me VERY anxious. Keep it up.

[@danwalker2110]

Spotted the ENVE wheel box in the background of the hallway. 🤘

[@strech5412]

The RC History stuff - yes please!!! More more more! (salivates). Jay Halsey has done so much, wow! I can’t find RC history anywhere except for “Carpet Racers” and some small vids about Team Associated developing their 4WD starting with the MIP founder’s ingenious ideas. Given the growth in the hobby and the proximity to Hollywood, a major RC documentary would make some big profit I think. Sir Lewis Hamilton, Tony Stewart, Nick Tandy, Travis Pastrana, all these folks would make great cameo’s. Adam and Rhonda Drake would be the central figures of the plot. Again, this video is brilliant, Sir Brett!

[@emerilnut]

GREAT VIDEO. Please do these again from time to time.

[@gunsandcommissions]

This definitely needs a part 2!!!! Great video Brett!

[@luvdacurvyones]

9:25 I remember that ad in in the RC Car Action magazines with Jay Halsey and the (clear my throat) trophy girl. 😍 I was young back then.

[@brianleslie1392]

Please continue to make these types of vids. Well done.

[@barspinsallday]

Make this a series! This is awesome

[@stevejackson3564]

Thanks for the information. Nice little history lesson.

[@smolscale]

I actually learned a lot from this video. Please keep this series going!

[@CCxRC]

This was brilliant! Loved every minute.

[@AMain_Hobbies]

Heck yeah! Thanks Tony. -Brett

[@Angrykat420]

Brett should teach RC history.

[@Jstall7543]

I remember about 25 years ago, My buddy had an early Futaba esc that had throttle priority when the batter cut off hit! Dove his buggy into a brick wall head on! Lol! I bought the Novak Tempest to avoid that problem in my all Carbon XXT! Witch I still have lol!

[@eddiegarcia9206]

Random yet Satisfying keep videos like this coming

[@davidives7204]

Excellent video as all your films are. I appreciate what the parts are and how they operate and benefit the rig and user. Fantastic 😊

[@nikolus24]

This is my favorite kind of video.

[@superstock9261]

God, I had that remote control corvette as a kid! My dad painted a pontiac firebird inspired fire on the front hood😊

[@goldviper5280]

very informative without being long and boring.

[@johnalenwork53]

I had that RadioShack RC tank it was dope!!!!

[@kaxlene9732]

As a rc drifter, i will now ONLY refer to mine and anyone's shocks as "Squishy Squish"

[@Tommyp360]

Thanks for showing us around Amain Production. Even their break room looks like the average Joe's. The difference, customer service and attitude. Great content in this video. Thank you Amain.

[@dirtyfingersninja]

I like this, informative!! Keep this going.

[@charlesbonkley]

Great job! Also, it was good to hear the backstory on that vintage, Jammin' Jay photo, which seemingly was published in nearly every RCCA issue in the late 80's and early 90's.

[@nelissuh]

Thanks for the 13.88. I was always to lazy to calculate it myself...

[@paulmontgomery5964]

Loved this video. You guys definitely put out some of the most entertaining and informative videos out there. Keep it up 👍🏻

[@StefanWbkk]

Great Video. 25 years ago i had a Tamiya fighter buggy Rx which came with a msc. It broke, bought another one, that broke, then the hobby shop recommended an ESC.

[@88davidw]

Bret is the best. I hope he’s always with AMain!

[@davidoakes3878]

I loved this. Amazing how many of these hacks I will use. What great trivia.

[@dondagy9109]

Ill never forget seeing Masami in early rc mags and being hypnotized by his cars and dominating winning streak. His paint jobs are by far some of my favorite and most recognizable i think.

[@jaredricker6994]

This was a very fun video to watch well done!

[@V8chump]

This video is super nice quality, keep it goin guys 😁

[@mariowoodsN5]

Awesome job! Always great info and historical events of our awesome Hobby/sport.

[@paulrobinson9355]

Brilliant and very informative! 👍

[@derricksazrc3411]

This was awesome. I was cracking up at your transitions. All of the info was great. Thank you for such a great video.

[@JustforFun-xh6ld]

Thanks for taking the time to put this together, very enjoyable 👍🏻

[@akaduy255]

This was your best work ever.

[@jgrimsta]

Have not watched longer than until 0:09 and boy oh boy does THAT image bring back some fond memories of the smell of burning flesh because I was dumb enough to grab hold of the resistor....AGAIN......lol But seriously though, the tips of my thumb and index finger on my right hand literally cant feel heat anymore because of those ancient resistors, soldering and cooking lol

[@dirtberger4533]

Great video as usual 🏁🏁👍😃. Mad good info,but reminded me of how old I am. My first RC car was a gold pan and I stood in the biggest line for the movies ever Star Wars.

[@fernsolo]

Great information 👍

[@brandongibson507]

A part 2 to this anybody?? Me: Yes please 😄🙏✌️🔥

[@949Designs]

We definitely need more of these episodes! Great stuff.

[@basementracer7622]

I really enjoyed this. Thanks

[@GT-po6by]

[@0thers1d3]

Amazing. Your voice is so soothing

[@grahammarkhorn]

nice one guys......i enjoyed that.

[@marcushaas44]

Truly random and hilarious 😂

[@katvdogerc8950]

favorite video yet, adhd loving it, you guys have taught me so much

[@germanrcdriver39]

This video is cool and interesting! 👍 The radcam rc models look like hpi 1/5th trophy truck chassis

[@M_AbdullahArif]

Awesome video! the difference b/w R/C and Remote Control I discovered once while googling both terms but was surprised how many people confused the two, Very Informative Video! and Entertaining!

[@cheseborger]

Well I guess I'm now calling shocks "squishy-squish"

[@CarEditzOfficial.]

Omg I’m so subscribing. Keep it up

[@swampcritterisbackbaby1740]

Totally random and totally cool.

[@johnfaustus1]

A few annoying pedantic points: - All your names for shocks are correct, though 'dampener' is the incorrect (albeit commonly used) interpretation of the word 'damper'. A dampener is presumably something that dampens (makes moist), rather than damps (dulls, vibrations in this case). - Radio control is a _type_ of remote control, which is to say all radio-control (or radio-controlled) things are remote-controlled, but not all remote-controlled things are controlled via radio.

[@Ezzie0304]

Brilliant stuff. Keep it up

[@stomper7074]

Another great one by the master! Thanks Brett.

[@robertwren2289]

Interesting, thank you!

[@NelaRc]

Another vote to making information like this available

[@burn1gotbeats]

Interesting I learned some RC history 😎⚙️

[@gamercat7004]

[@solrosenberg3587]

[@tomjohns8498]

[@Ev0ltion]

3:05 and here comes axial 1/24, losi mini-5, new traxxas 1/18 crawlers and probably more.... I have this trend of integrating ESC with reciver.

[@davidpigg3942]

Great video probably the best one you've ever.

[@mikejurnak4253]

Love the video you got all the answers how about this one Why do Traxxas id batteries puff so quickly even when you use the Id chArger and only balance charge ?

[@jonowillmer]

Very interesting Brett, thanks for putting that together.

[@mikeymike3240]

Hi Brett, what a great video, very informative and, very funny 😄, thoroughly enjoyable man, yah gets my vote, lol 😂

[@jaysrcexpedition]

Ten minutes of fun facts.👏✌️

[@S40TBS]

Great video 👍👍👍

[@RacingHeadInnovation]

I love Austin Mcconnell for starting this genre of video. This was awesome! Please do a part 2.

[@INTERNETplease]

Did you know that it took 42 years for the can opener to be created after the can

[@saturnfivehynrgrc581]

Cool video man, thanks!!!

[@JustGrant25]

My favorite the squishysquish

[@nickrobertson2450]

6:26 RC was invented by the Nikoli Tesla in 1898. 1898! Say that again... Yes 1898. 18. 98. Just let that sink in... thats 1898. 18. 98. 1898. And he built a boat. Why? Because there were essentially zero cars on the planet in 1898 only horses. This is possibly the single most amazing fact in RC history. Tesla was an undisputed genius.

[@AMain_Hobbies]

Right! Man created r/c before he learned to fly. Priorities. -Brett

[@infomutt2339]

Awesome information dude!!!!!

[@nunocarneiro464]

Some pretty interesting stuff, keep these coming 😁👍thx
