Can you review a tracer

[@LowetheTechGuy]

Kevin I really appreciate you and your eBay store training. I am struggling a little lately after losing my job and my car breaking down. So I am saving up for your eBay course and startup funds.

[@eliotmansfield]

somewhat ironic that an rc car designed to be demolished lasts longer than just about every normal rc car

[@GaisaSanktejo]

I saw something similar where ALL the rc car shells were made of thin sheet metal; the destruction derby part was spectacular!

[@AverageGamer2010]

It's because theyre made to demolish other cars

[@richgwozdz8580]

@@GaisaSanktejoI’ve always beefed up my rc car body’s to handle the abuse with putting shoo goo and screen too reinforce and even some custom sheet metal body’s before

[@GaisaSanktejo]

​@Allah_is1 True enough. But if you're on friendly terms with builders, you might find and get some scrap sheet metal that is perfect for the job for free 😉

[@Azthehead]

They all need to be metal bodies, that black one looks brilliant all smashed up. Great video

[@AlidArido]

I love that metal one, it made it more realistic 😮

[@joseluna3590]

Agreed man

[@TheBerendir]

Agreed, It would be cool if every car was metal!

[@skylined5534]

I'd love an all plastic shell and all metal shell series! The metal panelled car looked so realistic!

[@Porkpickle]

Agreed

[@bwilliams463]

We do actual r/c demo derby in the U.S., but the cars have thin aluminum bodies to show dents and bends. They were originally custom-made by individual drivers, but the sport's growing popularity led to the creation of standard body kits (sedan and station wagon are the only ones I've seen).

[@8BWN]

Some thin metal chassis pans would be cool too. Add a little to the realistic damage. Or cut the plastic chassis apart fore and aft of the bulkheads and screw them back together with a metal strip that can be replaced.

[@josephjones1315]

I've been trying to get into rc demo derby but I haven't seen those before my wood shop teacher and the rest of us are trying to put something like that together we would like metal bodies but I haven't found anything except trying to shape them ourselves

[@peterfoxon5498]

Yes! We need more of this. I would love to see you do it with the limo version!

[@grumpy2.0]

Would love to see a Series

[@TommyCullen-VacuumConnisour]

they should all have metal bodies, looks so realistic.

[@leefryett6858]

We do run alloy bangers aswell Slightly more expensive

[@cyborgbadger1015]

@@leefryett6858 do you make the alloy bodies yourself or are they bought?

[@johnonthedoe4877]

Should have a all metal demolition derby ✌️

[@michaeljamesm]

these are technically ‘battle bots’ haha! love it

[@guerrillaradio9953]

We do this at our local hobby store. We use 2wd slashes with metal bodies made from thin aluminum roof flashing body panels and steel "underframes" which can be easily hammered back into basically where it was. It's so much fun!

[@ThatThrowAwayAccount-tz8ly]

Wish more clubs did this, especially here in Australia. Seems like an absolute blast and it’s (relatively) dirt cheap to get into. Hoping more KZbinrs cover rc banger racing

[@ike8236]

I remember one near me that closed back in the 90s but have no idea if any more around since then.

[@LetsgoBabster]

I, as an Australian, agree

[@mrforeman7443]

Why not import a few from kamtec and get a club started ? You'd get loads of interest thanks to Internet land

[@adamseecbrown]

there is a youtube channel called BMBSCCbangerclub.

[@jackstephens7882]

As an Aussie I agree.

[@RizwanGnag]

good to see you having fun Kev..relocating was the best decision of your life! Cheers

[@michaeldorich4485]

That looked like a lot of fun.Your car held up well. I am surprised the body didn't have more damage. I wish one of the two UK makers of these cars distributed in the U.S . I think it would be very popular.

[@joeroberge3139]

My son and I love RC cars and we really enjoy all of your videos. We check KZbin every night to see if you put out new videos. Thank you.

[@microbuilder]

I had a mechanical ESC on my Blackfoot way back in the day, you learned real quick not to touch that resister lol Making/using that metal body was a great idea!

[@volvo09]

Yep! Sizzle! When I finally got an electronic speed controller I was thrilled.

[@skylined5534]

Never stayed in the hobby long enough! Ironically my first 'real' RC car had a rudimentary ESC. A Nikko Turbo Panther! The Nikko Hurricane which replaced it was a bit quicker but the Tamiya Dakar 959 was utterly brutal in speed and acceleration! I miss that 959 so much!

[@qrisemrc]

It's exciting racing.😁😁😁

[@rover908]

We need everyone to have metal body RC car derby, this was amazing! 😄😍

[@declan-ij3xx]

Even though it's ten times expensive the X MAXX breaks quicker than this car IRONIC!!!!

[@andydemeo2437]

That looked like serious fun.

[@3wrapframe]

The town I live in is in the middle of nowhere and until a popular book and movie came out about vampires our town was not really on any maps, but we did have a demo derby arena that still gets used today.

[@MightyJoesGarage]

We use Arrma Big Rocks in a parking lot, they hold together very well!

That's how rc cars should be cheap and fun great way to use them 👍

I had no idea there was such a thing. Looks like chaotic fun! You can keep the title of "most violent" until it comes to firearms though 😉

[@vles007]

That speed controller tho😂😂😂 lets go back to 92😂😂😂

[@volvo09]

Had one for years on my old Traxxas bandit as a kid.... I used the heck out of that car. When I finally got an electronic esc years later I was surprised that it made the car go faster! And having fully variable power instead of low/med/high was so exciting!

[@skylined5534]

My Tamiya 959 had a mechanical controller... I think that was 1990. I miss that car. They sell for a fortune now despite the fairly weak front and rear diffs!

where can i buy thi kit car ? thanks guys

Can’t wait to see how that paint booth looks after a couple years!

[@jarfur559]

I think i prefer the metal body as it actually looks real. They should all be metal.

[@skylined5534]

Maybe even a thin tubule or wire frame chassis too... Easy to make and would be so realistic!

For everyone that mentions they should have metal bodies. This is ABS bangers, there is another class for Ally Bangers. There are exactly as requested. 0.5mm metal plate made into very realistic metal bodied shells.

[@jeffreymrrs150]

I've watched banger racing and I'm like holy crap. Our demolition derby has nothing on that. Some of the violent racing I've ever watched.

[@zat-1-fury]

I honestly didn’t know rc car derby was a thing 😅

[@zat-1-fury]

Also I play a game called wreck fest on a server that is more violent than uk derby 😅

[@MikeLaRock88]

They should all be metal and a tad bit slower speed. Would be a lot more realistic and cool

That looks so much fun. Thanks for the video Kevin.

[@RC-Closer1313]

Wow Kev… that looks like a ton of fun!! I wish we had cool stuff like that around here… I would go every week!

[@LowetheTechGuy]

Be bold and start it yourself! I believe you can do it and be successful with a small bit of work. Just build a car or two, find a place to play and a friend or more and have fun like a pro! People will start showing up, especially if they can see the exhibit. Many people have not seen "Hobby Grade" land, air or water rc.

[@RC-Closer1313]

@@LowetheTechGuy it’s funny you say that… I was hit on my motorcycle and the short story is I lost the use of my legs. Anyway, I am about to buy some property and my plan was to put a couple of tracks on said property. A drag strip and a crazy bashing area… that’s the plan as soon as I get my lawsuit

[@johnclarke8180]

What a blast! Amazing entertainment and editing, thanks Kev!!

[@rc-Akira-kx4wq]

Hey Kev, you should try rc cars from the french brand named T2M, their cars are small ( 1/8 most og the time ) but really fun and strong for thier price

[@masjuggalo]

The best part about a mechanical speed controller, there's no turn limit and no cell limit. So if you want to run a 20 turn 540 motor on 30 ni-cd cells go for it

[@mostlyinept]

I used to have one of these and I sent it to RC Everyday so he can make something cool out if it because unfortunately there aren't many rc banger enthusiasts in the US

[@MrDan1713]

We run figure 8 races with banger cars built out of 2WD short course trucks (Traxxas Slash being most common). The bodies are home built from aluminum. The rules are 7.5 pound weight limit, 2S LiPo 5400mah max battery size. Brushed or brushless motors/esc. Last car running wins. No track marshals, if your car is stuck, on its side or upside down you have two minutes to right it, usually by another car hitting it. If you are knocked off of the track you are done.

[@bling1634]

The race and derby was so epic

[@robertatallian1085]

Love it Kev! Def need this in the States and they should all be thin metal to make it look a little more realistic.

[@mattinwinkymg]

The metal body damage looked really realistic, if everyone had metal it would look dope. IMO lol

[@FarmerFpv]

We have a similar type of derby in Texas called the Hippo Run. All the cars are painted like Hippos and you fight for territory in a 500-yard field. The last Hippo car standing on its tires wins. I totally just made that all up. 😂

[@Pablo668]

Now that looked like a lot of fun. I don't think any of the clubs near me in Aus do these. Seems to be an English phenomenon.
