GT12 VS MTC Which RC car is better

[@paulsnape1995]

Let’s see more of your GT12 journey Carl.

[@PopalongRC]

Will do … have big plans so hope it works out

[@j4son460]

GT12 content please, would love to see you explaining about how to set them up as you learn

[@PopalongRC]

This seems to be a popular suggestion

[@donfitz69]

Wow you guys are so lucky having so many clubs near you.

[@PopalongRC]

Hope to build a map on the website which has all the locations

[@donfitz69]

@@PopalongRC That would be awesome. Love your content. Keep up the good work but you guys need to cut back on those scotch eggs haha

[@barrycheesemore2928]

I'd love to see more of the MTC, I love the M07, awesome little car!!

[@PopalongRC]

Great platform

[@Pablo668]

Nice work Carl. Go hard mate!

[@PopalongRC]

Cheers buddy

[@itsannrg]

Would love to see more GT12, as I feel there is not much content on KZbin around it. Also I totally feel your struggle in setting up the vehicle. Same story for me and my Icon 2. Already did a lot of testing in all directions with Guru input.

[@PopalongRC]

I have a few guru’s that can help me with content … I’ll take you on my learning journey.

[@Mrf388]

I can't wait for the off-road!

[@PopalongRC]

We have some exciting news on this toooo

[@AndrewBorrill1]

Your right Carl, the GT12 is a long journey to get right. I'm new to the GT12 and beleive me, I have been through a lot of the setup issues that you have had and more. Keep going on the GT12 journey.

[@bradkalman2353]

Now you got to get Mark into m07 and m08s

[@PopalongRC]

He is prepping the TT01 bender car …

[@samuelstrauss5119]

Awsome video can't wait for the next

[@PopalongRC]

Thank you appreciate the support

[@unc13buck]

Please do an in depth video of the setup (what they use for barriers, carpet, jumps) how many people it takes to setup and breakdown these pop up tracks! Show the world how much effort these people are putting in to make racing possible.

[@PopalongRC]

We have gestured at this sort of video in the past but will do another one

[@fpvburg]

Both Carl ... both. Loving both, keep it up buddy ;-)

[@PopalongRC]

I like your thinking

[@allanritchie1539]

You did well against the Carsen & Express last time you were out, stick with it, you can only better yourself with consistency. ❤❤❤😊😊😊

[@PopalongRC]

True that

[@TheRCScotsman]

Personally, as someone who already races GT12, I'd prefer to hear about the M-chassis cars. However, I wouldn't say no to any racing news! Run everything! 😆

[@PopalongRC]

I’ll do my best to run as much as possible. Got some good plans for GT12

[@TheRCScotsman]

Good luck! @@PopalongRC

[@PopalongRC]

@TheRCScotsman how you getting on with your gt12

[@TimsRcsurgery]

The clips of you driving (assuming it was you) make you look like you kinda know what you’re doing 😜 Enjoying the racing videos. I’d love to watch a full race or 2, you should throw 1 in now and again, or start a second channel purely just to watch the racing, I know i’d sit and watch them 😃 Well done fellas, keep up the great work, going from strength to strength 💪

[@PopalongRC]

We will try and incorporate them into videos. It is a bit hit and miss with whether they get watched and also if you are out on your own in no man’s land and not in a close race it is not the best viewing …

[@TimsRcsurgery]

@@PopalongRC yeah, I get it, it’s the same with myself.. maybe it’s just me, I love watching the racing, but it’s hard to keep folk watching if the content is not fast paced. I’ll look forward to when you do upload one 😃

[@johnp99550]

Thanks for this, if i had to choose it would be the M07.

[@PopalongRC]

Cool It is a pleasant drive

[@NWP_EXPLORING]

Thanks for all your help and advice last sunday ! Neil TT02

[@PopalongRC]

You’re welcome

[@davidm8584]

I just bought a CRC CK25 for gt12. It's all new to me and it's frustrating as all get out. I have so much more fun with my Tamiya Euro truck but most of the guys at my local track scoff at them. Whatever you do, just have fun with it. Cheers Carl!

[@TastierBackInThe80s]

I would have liked to see the changes highlighted on the GT12, but I think Id be one of very few that likes seeing minor tweaks and what was involved. Id be in for more GT12 or Tamiya M chassis content.

[@PopalongRC]

Going to do a deep dive into setup as I need to learn

[@ghost4004]

Hi Thanks for this video i am completely new to RC and just discovered im about 20 minutes from Wycombe RC, Track. i was looking at Newbury but they don't run allot of classes and i like the look of the battcave cars, i do like the look of the Xray series they run but for now im wondering to start on a different class.

[@PopalongRC]

We hope to get to Wycombe soon The MTC seems pretty popular at the moment

[@Iandean10]

When I packed up racing about 5-6 years ago due to me having terminal cancer I was running a Schumacher gt12 car don’t get me wrong when it was good it was awesome very quick with 13.5t motor 1s but I was always fiddling with it checking for chassis tweak and that everything was ok changing ride height as my tyres worn down & tbh it was a pain in the arse , I am going to make a comeback in the next few weeks I am buying a Tamiya m-07 concept car , esc £28 motor £10 servo £60 wheels & tyres £28 a set that will last all year on one set and hardly any messing about with it as it runs on rubber tyres so I can’t see why people prefer spending shed loads of money when you can race this class on a shoestring and this is the most excited I’ve been about doing something since I was diagnosed

[@PopalongRC]

Happy to hear you are returning to the race track . Budget Tamiya racing is so much fun for your money

[@leeshelton1230]

Being new to all this and just starting with rc banger racing I’d be interested in the journey of the GT12 to see how you progress and get ideas for me as I go down the rabbit hole of other classes. Certainly would be relatable to me and others maybe.

[@PopalongRC]

I have some contact who know a thing or two about gt12 so I am sure I will be able to get some good content out of it

[@savie62]

Tamiya as usual more more more please ❤

[@PopalongRC]

I will see what I can do

[@markbruton-young9228]

GT12 or LMP cars are like the F1 of RC racing, super fussy on setup and you have to constantly keep then in that setup window. Checking tyre sizes, ride heights, axle heights, tweak after every run. But when they are in the operating zone of setup boy are they fast!

[@PopalongRC]

Having to buy some bits so I can do it properly.

[@ricksmith7063]

GT12 is my vote, but either would be good content.

[@PopalongRC]

As I have much to learn I think there is interesting content to be had

[@Jaxon_durbidge]

Gt12 for sure

[@PopalongRC]

Cool

[@andycrute7350]

More Tamiya please

[@PopalongRC]

You got it Andy

[@kenneth_jensen]

Interesting to watch 👍🙂 Where do you see the Evo, GL Racing and Atomic compared to these?

[@PopalongRC]

GL racing is smaller like mini z I think

[@kenneth_jensen]

​@PopalongRC Oh you are right...thanks 🙂

[@The_Absurdistt]

Running more than one car in a race day is brutal... I should know as I run three cars and usually feel like I've had a stroke at the end of the day... I think I will pull it back this season, getting a bit up there in age.

[@PopalongRC]

I can get away with it when running Tamiya classes but gt12 needs more focus and time

[@Helghast73]

I think with the GT12 you need a bigger fan at the back, give it more ommph 🤣 It’s good to see the brushed Tamiya being super competitive so more of that and your GT12 journey as that could be useful for others 👍

[@PopalongRC]

That will keep me busy

[@crawlingkanyonrc9946]

Do you guys still do 10th offroad racing?

[@PopalongRC]

Yeah Normally Thursdays but sometimes Fridays for off-road On road Tuesday Sundays and sometimes Fridays

[@kanenstuff]

A quick question this may sound dumb but for the lofe of me I cant get power to my SR215 reciever with the THW 1060 esc that cane with my TT02. Its bound and works on my nitro though on my Tamiya its just flashes red even after setung the end point. I run the rugged dx5 but its my first electric with this radio.

[@PopalongRC]

Have you tried re binding it

[@kanenstuff]

@PopalongRC yes I bound it with my nitro buggy set the throttle trim to zero. It says but the esc plug into the throttle but I get no power even if I put it in the power slot I still have no power. Then if I put it back in my nitro buggy all is sweet I'm new to electric cars but it makes no sense its ment to be rtr?

[@kanenstuff]

@PopalongRC the reciver just has no power what ever I try looked at videos there not much out there. I have made many rc drones for racing so a esc is nothing new but I'm missing something or it's DOA.

[@heady2008]

@@kanenstuff I'll start by assuming that you have plugged the ESC's lead in correctly which is normally negative/black on the outside/right hand pins. The ESC lead to the RX should output around 5 volts from it's internal BEC. If you have a multimeter then test this by connecting to the red and black contacts.

[@kanenstuff]

@heady2008 OK thanks I will check this but for sure the reciever works I have been doing nitro for decades an never had a issue getting power to a reciever. Since I started watching your videos and Tamiya cars here are so cheap thought I would give it a go. But when I follow the instructions I just don't get power it makes no sense atm. It has some nice hop ups hope it doesn't end a up being my first shelf queen 😂

[@sampope6713]

Would be great to see more gt12 personally over the tamiya tat, but gt12 needs full dedication unfortunately to get your head around it all 😂

[@PopalongRC]

Let the learning journey commence

[@chrishawley2844]

For me Carl take the brushless system from your carten, into the Mo7 and show what you can do with a tamiya looks like it's holding its own already! ohh if you don't mind Carl what size wheels do you run on m chassis cars for racing ?

[@PopalongRC]

[@nathanwilson588]

More gt12!

[@PopalongRC]

Ok Nathan

[@leebentley6257]

Run which you enjoy most

[@PopalongRC]

I love them all … but all very different .

[@UncleJamesJuniorJames]

You need to change your shock oils before every event with the atom. Infact need to rebuild it before every event is what im discovering. They get tweaked very easily and once its tweaked your losing a lot of laps.

[@PopalongRC]

It definitely is not a throw it on the track race class

[@RichardTardif1984]

Compare Carten to M07 specifically I want to see lap time comparisons. Then put them away and get that gt12 going

[@PopalongRC]

Like that idea will sort that next outing

[@gigi9467]

Wth is a MTC???!!! Lol you might wanna explain the stuff for people I don’t know specially over here in the states
