[@jonathanwolfe4472]

Brilliant video, really enjoyed watching this. Will the UK ever have another world champ in 10th off road?

[@RC-RacingTV]

We really hope so! Who do you think might do the deed?

@@chrisdunn2607ohh no faith in Popalong ay?

[@jonathanwolfe4472]

I'm thinking Ben Smith might be another who has a shot.

[@japanesetoenglish]

I still think Neil could do it at the right track. His form in Britain is still very good.

[@rccoachwenger]

Loved this video !!! I hand built that chassis for the race special for Neil.

[@caboose4631]

Pro racers don't build their own chassis?

[@denelvo]

Neil winning the WC on 5 cells, being told afterwards is still one of the best stories.

[@peterrobinson1398]

Please keep this series going. Would love to see some old race winning pan cars or early touring cars on the bench.

[@drewp9112]

that is pretty cool, i raced a B4 graphite for a few years back in the day, came off racing 1/8 buggies nitro back to 1/.10 electric, had previously raced a JRx pro and before that a Turbo Ultima and Turbo Ultima back in the mid to late 80`s. Both the Kyoshos were with the mechanical speed controls, actually the RC10 controls because they were more precise. 66 still running RC a true lifetime hobby.

Exactly what I want to see - amazing content! Thank you very very very very much !!!

[@RC-RacingTV]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@RoryHollarTURTLERCRACING]

Just outstanding…. Thank you … really appreciated…..😎🦾

[@eirikandreassen1815]

Awesome guys, keep them coming 👏

[@darrisbrown7516]

Very cool! we want more!!

[@Pablo668]

I love the B4, it's an absolute classic. I bought one real cheap a year or so after people transitioned to the B5 and up. The wiring was a tad strange though. Almost like the ESC was wired in series with the batteries.

[@VestedUTuber]

Back when buggies actually raced on dirt rather than carpet, and back when manufacturers made RTRs of their racing kits because they actually appealed to bashers and could be used to spread out tooling costs.

[@CodySiler]

Awesome series! Keep the vids coming please!

[@RC-RacingTV]

Thanks! Will do!

[@Synic08]

We put the O rings in the original SC10..(2010?) just like they are in there, we did it to help the slap inside there when they develop wear…. Not sure why he did it on a new one…? Maybe preparing for slop if there was lots of sand or something..?

[@aidanrc46]

Love this ❤

[@rccarloverluxembourg718]

For 3 weeks I Have my B4 Factory Team, thx to Mike :-)

[@bmxguy73]

I cringed when you guys popped that shock apart 😭 more of these

[@BenchRacerRC]

The wing R sticker is Rayspeed.

[@chocolateapocalypse]

For old American buggies you'll be covered with .050, 1/16, 5/64 and 3/32 hex drivers and 3/16, 1/4, 5/8 and 11/32 nut drivers. Anything else and someone used the wrong stuff lol Great vid!

[@SquashysDaddy]

Didnt Neil also win a national with shocks on the front end of his car in different hole locations?

[@gearhead762]

I still have my first run B4... great car

[@RC-RacingTV]

Nice 👍

[@Madvizion]

British geeks...... God love them.

Enjoyed video this a lot!

Glad you enjoyed it!

When 1/10 looked like 1/10 wheel bases are almost 1/8 now

[@perfectsplit5515]

Plastic chassis???!!! This is the greatest RC race car of all time, and its chassis is plastic? Back in 1989, graphite was all the rage. Joel Johnson's Customized Ultima, JRX2, Ultima Pro, RC10 Graphite, TQ10, RC10 Team Car Graphite, RC10GX Stealth Prototype, RC10L Graphite, Tamiya Egress... I thought all the world champion cars had chassis made of either aluminum, fiberglass, or graphite. Plastic chassis is reminiscent of the Tamiya Frog.

[@Synic08]

See that shock pushout..? Thats whats SUPPOSED to happen…. All these shock rebuild videos tell you to try to make it not have any push or pullback… you want pushback… not pressure, but let off and shaft should come back some… 1/4-1/2 the length of the shock, but it depends on the shaft thickness…

R.I.P MICK CRAGG ❤

[@jasonford7216]

I like this car so much I own two of them but after finding out parts are now discontinued for it I became not happy with team associated...

[@Heathcliff_hensel]

well they are almost 20 years now so you can't be too mad.

[@neontetra1000]

I have just purchased a nib Tamiya trf 201 with upgrade kit. It’s basically a carbon copy of this car but metric. All The trf cars were direct copy’s of the associated cars.

[@japanesetoenglish]

@@neontetra1000 I hadn't realised. Did the B5 move to a mid-motor configuration too? I know Lee Martin ran a Tamiya with the motor in the middle.

[@VestedUTuber]

@@japanesetoenglish B5 could be built with a rear motor config but kit setup was mid motor.

[@Billo-07]

Sucks doesn’t it…… I’ve got a T4, Iam way to scared to break it so it’s nothing but an ornament now.
