Timing for change RC Cars

[@andrewkeir2047]

I'm an 80's kid, and I'm just rediscovering RCs again after all these years. Along with a Commodore and Spectrum computers. 🕹 I've currently invested in nine RCs. The Turbo Optima, Super Dog Fighter, Egress (black edition), Avante, to name a few of them. Recently discovered you lads here on KZbin. It's great watching your videos. Happy Christmas, and enjoy those lovely gifts that you have received. I'm looking forward to watching your videos in 2025. 🚗

[@escos0410]

Just like me!! 😂 Iv been collecting 80’s items from my childhood Raleigh super tuff burner and tuff burner in the man cave, Iv bought just about all the re releases that I had when I was racing, the 8 bit machines I had c64, c16 and vic 20 I want to now race again so this is brilliant news

[@DustyFingersRC]

Loved hearing that 👍🏼 aside from the RC Unused to play a game called Chiller on the Commodore 64...would love to play that again.

Way to go RC Steve! Generous man. Boys, the Pop-Up idea is fantastic. To be fair I would look to charge a small amount to cover your fuel and accomodation but I'm sure no one would object to that. Just don't forget the North East! All the best lads to you and your family.

[@PopalongRC]

cheers buddy

The Vostok timing system, nice choice. Compatible with most transponder we use in the UK, which is something that can't be said about the latest (and much more expensive) Mylaps system. For personal transponders you still need to access a spare received port to power them, Vostok also make handout versions of their transponders that have a built in battery attaches through a hole in the body, or using the old school transponder mount that Tamiya still includes with a lot of their cars.

[@PopalongRC]

that is a good shout

Top man Steve

[@PopalongRC]

top bloke

[@meracetrack]

That’s great news for you guys. That’s the same system as we run at the Mill End RC club. It’s a pretty reliable timing system. If you need any help or advise setting up let me no. All the best to you both and happy Xmas. We hope to do another fun day with you in 2025. Thanks mark.

[@PopalongRC]

we will be in touch

[@stephenlay9580]

[@PopalongRC]

Cheers gavin thanks for watching

[@daflump6358]

Pop up popalong RC sounds amazing, 'run what you brung' style, good on RC steve and good on you guys. Very interested to watch the evolution of popalong RC. I am happy to design and print a bunch of boxes to put the add on transponders in. What a great idea ! Merry christmas btw !

[@PopalongRC]

thanks buddy that is an idea

[@SK-p2x]

every new video is like christmas day. Thanks for all the videos and effort you put in

[@PopalongRC]

Happy holidays!

[@WestyCoastHermit]

Tip of the cap to RC Steve. Nicely done sir!

[@johnrainbird1155]

Start your own club 🎉

[@PopalongRC]

maybe

[@bluegroovemodelsports9650]

Great to see you guys get some popalong racing going . Awesome of RC Steve to donate timing system the channel. I wish we had racers and RC enthusiasts working together for the hobby here in USA as well as ya'all do it together in 🇬🇧 Great stuff merry Christmas. You both deserve a nice channel bump like this

[@PopalongRC]

thanks blue ... we appreciate your continued support

[@canuckchuck8836]

What an awesome on-loan donation (loanation)!!!

[@PopalongRC]

spot on

[@tomn900]

Pop ups. Around the country!

[@PopalongRC]

it could happen

[@leeball4]

Merry Christmas, Gents! Thanks for all the content and stoking my passion for RC racing!

[@PopalongRC]

merry chrimbo buddy

[@grahamwebb5438]

Very exciting, thank you for all your effort in making great content. Have a great Christmas and awesome new year guys

[@PopalongRC]

Happy holidays!

[@nitro_head]

Awesome news 😀

[@PopalongRC]

cheers buddy

[@nikki45225]

A travelling RC track would be great,it would definitely be the only one in the country. I think it's a fantastic idea. You could do inside tracks in winter, places such as school halls and in summer outside.in summer it wouldn't cost a thing, there's public football fields everywhere. I'd definitely be up for it, specially if it's not too far away.

[@PopalongRC]

Maybe one day!

[@leeshelton1230]

Yes the fabled Popalong pop-up… Merry Christmas and all the best in 2025

[@PopalongRC]

Cheers Lee

[@velocityinstereo]

Very clever title fellas.

[@PopalongRC]

thanks buddy

[@barrycheesemore2928]

I'm sure that whatever you guys decide to do it'll be awesome! And Johnny with a hole??🤣🤣🤣

[@PopalongRC]

cheers Barry

[@adrianwhite-gr3qk]

Absolutely mega idea

[@PopalongRC]

lets see what happens

[@GeeShocker]

Pop up RC rally 😎 What timing system is it? I'm looking for a new system myself.

[@fencer39]

Nice. What brand of timing did you go for ?.....Pop up racing dates would be great around the UK. Race what you got . get everybody involved. Happy Christmas fellas. Thanks for your effort !!

[@techspeedrc]

It's the Vostok system, so compatible with Mylaps RC3 and MRT transponders.

[@lordchris]

Awesome news! What about hosting pop up Popalong fun series? Parent/child team race Tamiya Endurance Dare I say an iconic style series? But Tamiya Euro trucks... Rally...

[@PopalongRC]

now that is interesting

[@dub_rider]

a pop-up RC club is a great idea! As well as getting into some schools for sessions, maybe you could get in touch with some local youth clubs/centres and run some sessions there too? Grow the RC community guys much love

[@PopalongRC]

like the idea of doing that

[@Pablo668]

Awesome score guys. The world is your oyster. I've had an idea for a while, but I don't know if the hardware exists for it. Basically, RC hillclimbs. But you need a timing point at both ends of any course you make.

[@PopalongRC]

that is true

[@bradkalman2353]

I want you guys to travel the world with that system and start races anywhere.

[@PopalongRC]

you never know what the future holds

[@neontetra1000]

You should find a large field and make a track with rope and tyres and ramps and hold a pop along open day racing and bashing and stunt competition . That would be so epic . You could come down to my local track strumpshaw rc tracks . Might attract a few people z I have some basic videos of it on my channel.

[@PopalongRC]

like your thinking

[@dazofthemoo1531]

Who the fork is Arsy Steve?

[@neontetra1000]

Also buying a large can with the track in and calling it pop up rc tracks would be cool. You could rent it out at fetes and that for a bit of beer money .

[@PopalongRC]

not a bad shout

[@scotthillier2154]

Well done ….14k …..🤙🤙🤙

[@PopalongRC]

thanks Scott

[@justanoldcowboy8326]

The laptop is for a self driving race car and the timer is for the track? 🙂 If nothing else a self driver on an oval with a nice timer is a great way to test tires. Just make your track with 5 inch tall terrace board guard rails for the lidar to follow.

[@PopalongRC]

interesting idea

[@brianlangford7278]

Maybe, maybe can add pop up oval racing,open a new rabbit hole for everyone

[@PopalongRC]

it could happen

[@scotthillier2154]

Merry Christmas gents…..👍👍👍

[@PopalongRC]

cheers

[@CassieRowlands]

🎁 🎁🎁

[@bradkalman2353]

That laptop probably more expensive than a lot of your cars.

[@beaglebum]

What do you want us to do… less talking more RC 👍

[@PopalongRC]

hahahaha --- we do like to talk

[@harrisonboddington4521]

Speak to Adam think we still have our old carpet .

[@PopalongRC]

good call cheers buddy

[@TimothyDoherty-p7c]

I'll need to get one of those for myself, with no one to give me one 😢

[@PopalongRC]

we are lucky

[@bradkalman2353]

That lap system is probably more then some of your cars.

[@PopalongRC]

not wrong

[@ianjohnhorwood2605]

You could come to LEEDS BOSS . Not everyone is able bodied enough ( me included. 🤣 ) to travel long distances , or possess comfy enough non able bodied transport provision etc etc 🤣

[@PopalongRC]

we will see what we can do

[@ZingZingNZ]

The rc hobbie died when it left school hall club nights

[@techspeedrc]

In the UK by far the vast majority of racers are still running in school and sports halls on a weekly basis. Permanent tracks are in the minority, they just seem more prominent because they are the ones that hold big outdoor race meetings. Almost all the big indoor races are still run in hired sports halls.

[@ianjohnhorwood2605]

Did you say time for change Charlie RC kicks cars , maybe that's a different kind of RC channel 🤣🤣🤣 , my bad 🤣🤣🤣 .

[@RCKickschannel]

Start your own club!

[@PopalongRC]

it could be an option
