Excited to see his buggy collection.

[@bricearnold4445]

I like Phil, he’s a funny dude.

[@RCRetro]

Agreed. He'll be making more videos..

[@idesignyou...9257]

What an amazing collection Phil! My first RC was a Blackfoot!

[@grduprc]

So was mine and its developed into an absolute love for the blackfoots

[@barrycheesemore2928]

Now that was an impressive collection of RC trucks, awesome stuff!!!

[@josephcarrera3953]

Nicely organized Phil 🏁😎🏁

[@RCRetro]

Joe, you gotta get the garage organized. We are cominng over soon to do a tour of your place... Havn't heard from you in a while. Hope all is well buddy.

[@ericwood2790]

[@RCRetro]

There will be a follow up episode eventually.... RC buggies and then his on road stuff.

[@grduprc]

Yes definitely will have the buggy video and onroad soon keep an eye out

[@shlomogoldstein3373]

Second video I've watched after stumbling upon you. Awesome channel. I love this old collector stuff. My first truck was a Traxxas Rustler I got back in 1995. In the process of restoring it. Wish i could find the original body.

[@holgerfach6084]

Loved the out takes

[@fishnrc294]

Impressive collection a true RC lover for sure. Growing up when you still had to use your imagination I used to dream of slot cars & build plastics models. My brother was the one who had the track & cars so I had limited use. Ha! But he had this catalog & it was full of everything slot car & id flip through it for hours dreaming about which ones I’d get if I had the money. As adults we are programmed to live this robotic daily routine. But the world of moving wheels controlled by a throttle never goes away. It’s a way to step back into the careless world of a kid for a little bit again. Until something breaks that is! 😂🤨

[@bradkalman2353]

I'm still waiting for the second track you guys were or someone was building and I want to see every car that all of you have raced.

[@grduprc]

The second track is mine where I test all of my rc it will definitely be on both rcretro and mine also this year

[@mattiasrc]

Thats one impressive collection of rc´s, love the handles on the cabinets 🤣

[@RCRetro]

Thats exactly what I said. Great attention to details.. Best part was the stash of candy he had in one of his draws.

[@mattiasrc]

@@RCRetro haha yes and then he tried to hide it.

[@jasonsrcstuff9278]

Damn Phil!! I didn’t realize your collection was that f’n big!! Looking forward to seeing the buggies and especially the on road car tours.

[@RCRetro]

Guy has a ton of stuff.

[@momothemilkman]

Impressive collection!

[@EJ-74]

Awesome collection of RCs Holy Smokes 🔥 My first good 2wd race truck was the Team Associated T3. I raced it several times and done fairly well. I tried out a Losi XXX GRAPHITE 2wd and I loved it and immediately bought one and went on to win over 30 trophy's on off road tracks and the 2003 dirt oval points championship at Coppers RC with it. I had the Losi nitro NXT and raced it several times but I couldn't find a dependable pit man and it was a lot more trouble than electric so I stuck to electric. Most of my RCs including my XXX was stolen out of my storage building. 😡🤬 I miss racing so bad. 😭

[@RCRetro]

That’s horrible to hear that they got stolen. Thanks for sharing/reminiscing. Lois’s were top notch back in the day. I actually have a losi XXX and xxt that I’ve yet to feature on the channel.

[@Mini-z1994]

Hey forward this too Phil if you can, don't think i found any channel with my brief search here. For the Ta02 F150 truck there was a re-release kind of, of that truck if you want another body for it it's kit number 58537 Desert Fielder. (No longer the same decals & any mentions of ford is gone ofc as Tamiya lost the license too that one & only spat out a re-release briefly before their 15 - 20 year deal ran out or something like that too produce it.) There is another Tamiya kit with a similar body called Asterion kit number 58552. (Which is the old Chevrolet s10 body from kit 58146 with again no licensed decals or mention of Chevrolet.) Then ofc the re-release of the baja f150 kit number 58495, but decals & body might pop up with the old kitnumber only which is 58161 Used too also be a Toyota Prerunner kit number 58136 but don't know if there are any reproduction bodies or decals here, haven't checked as im writing this comment. MCI racing or team bluegroove I'd imagine should have decals & maybe reproduction bodies as well for them.

[@RCRetro]

Thanks. I’ll forward this to him. I too found this useful ad I’d like to also get a TA02 with one of those bodies.

[@grduprc]

Thank you I appreciate that info. I will definitely look into that

[@bradkalman2353]

I have a Blackfoot and I have a metallic edition midnight pumpkin and I have the Black edition lunch box and the original lunch box.

[@mikemorton7149]

Wow alot cars

[@tecnica2001]

This is Awesome, I’d like to see the Traxxas Hawk taking some laps on the Port Royale Race Track, there’s not enough footage of those trucks on KZbin, they’re cool trucks, I’ve had a couple of them over the years.

[@RCRetro]

Sure thing. I'll let Phil know.

[@Dabber422]

Future video on the the magazines would be cool

[@acereport8939]

I’d like to see how he makes the custom RC decals and where to buy the supplies.

[@RCRetro]

Great idea. We can that eventually. Thanks for the input.

[@bradkalman2353]

I have a ground pounder just did a video on it recently.

[@grduprc]

Great truck with a few mods makes it even better mine might look stock but it has a bit done to it including a brushless motor its awesome now

[@milosrcernycerny5537]

Nice collection 👍. I would like to see that Kyosho USA-1, that modified one. It should be interesting. (Doesn't Harry remind you of Bud Spencer?)

[@tallguygaming409]

Haha who is bud spencer???

[@hrafnkell6132]

I didn’t expect him to have crawlers. But what really concerns me is that he has silverware on his cabinets, does he eat his food on those??

[@RCRetro]

LOL... did you see his secret stash of Sugar Daddys candy in his draw lol..

[@grduprc]

Don't eat food with them but have stabbed myself more then once of the forks haha

[@Ed-ty1kr]

Is that what a cleaned up work bench looks like? Huh.. For the life of me I cant seem to keep it that way for more than it takes to reach up and grab an unassembled kit, or something to clean and lube. There is always at least one RC in a million pieces on my bench LOL.

[@bradkalman2353]

Phil are you going to get a cc02?

[@grduprc]

I am looking foward to the Bronco that body looks amazing and its on the cc02 chassis so its a win win for me

[@Mr1stlevel]

Phil how much do the sugars daddys add to your rc cars top speed?

[@grduprc]

They all hit warp Jesus bc of that super fuel!

[@pbruteforce1]

What's the"remote controlled" thing he was talking about? Is that a KZbin channel?

[@grduprc]

Its a Facebook group but working on the KZbin channel

[@pbruteforce1]

@@grduprc just joined 👍

[@RCRetro]

@@pbruteforce1 Yes Phil has his own Facebook group, "Remote Controlled" but his videos will be featured on the RC Retro Channel. At least for now...

[@mikemorton7149]

Can I buy one

[@RCRetro]

i'm pretty sure that Phil wont part with anything.

[@bradkalman2353]

Phil drive the original.

[@tallguygaming409]

My suggestion would be alot less phil and absolutely no ari 😄😄
