Schumacher LD3 and the Tamiya debate continues...

[@threeohm]

I love your Tamiya content. I don't want to own or race one, but I enjoy watching you guys do it. Keep on keeping on with the Tamiyas boys.

[@PopalongRC]

Cheers buddy

[@TastierBackInThe80s]

The LD3 looks good. Until they put that body shell on it. I think that Gav at Rc Kicks is going to get one and I hope he puts a vintage body on it. Those cab forward bodies look horrid.

[@PopalongRC]

Another debate

[@kevinbehnke2131]

Love the banter you two share. Keep the vids coming.

[@PopalongRC]

Will do

[@paulrobinson9355]

Looking forward to seeing how it goes - awesome stuff!!

[@PopalongRC]

It’s gonna be fun

[@Robert-gy4lv]

Dont worry about the bad comments you may get .but you two come across as true club racers keep up the great videos and good luck at the iconic

[@PopalongRC]

Cheers buddy That’s for the encouragement

[@dub_rider]

good luck with the race guys looking forward to seeing how you got on :)

[@PopalongRC]

Cheers buddy

[@barrycheesemore2928]

I'm tempted by the LD3, if and when I can afford one. And Like Carl, I like Tamiya's and M chassis cars, I raced an M07 for a while last year, it was a lot of fun. Great content as always guys!!

[@PopalongRC]

Cheers Barry

[@itsannrg]

Have fun with your LD3. Just build myself an Icon 2 F1 and as an engineer I love Schumachers engineering details :)

[@PopalongRC]

Can’t wait to get hold of it…

[@bluegroovemodelsports9650]

Great video. Look forward to your videos on the Iconic Cup Series.

[@PopalongRC]

Excited about this one

[@khevolution]

As you mentioned there is 3 versions of the LD3 being released, which one did you go for in the end?

[@PopalongRC]

M

[@andycrute7350]

Looking forward to seeing you both again Sunday. What’s the gearing that’s been recommended for the tt01e? Which classes are you both in?

[@PopalongRC]

Think the working window is 25/55 24/58 area

[@Mrtrc33]

That made me laugh out loud with the wedding cancelled 😂 the new Schumacher does look great. Good luck with it 👌

[@PopalongRC]

Cheers buddy

[@craigbailey7096]

Wicked news about iconic looking forward to seeing you boys sunday

[@PopalongRC]

Gutted your not in the stock class What you playing at

[@craigbailey7096]

I know but really wanted to try racing my trf420 and thought I'd save money and not have to build a tt01 but might have spent more In the end 😅

[@PopalongRC]

@craigbailey7096 fair enough Can we get some footage of the 420

[@craigbailey7096]

Of course you can 😀

[@chrismilner2882]

Will be good to see you guys tomorrow. I think Carl is in my heat. P.s. Get a proper stand for that soldering iron!

[@PopalongRC]

Look for to it…

[@scottblowers9592]

Good luck at the indoor iconic cup tomorrow 🤞🏻👍🏻. Shame I can’t make it, I do still enjoy racing my TT01 or TT02.

[@PopalongRC]

Hope to see you trackside soon

[@areadierc2803]

Great video as usual, got a couple mates from my local club( weymouth rc ) racing in the iconic tt01e class tomorrow. Do a live I keep looking at these brass servos from reefs rc , think they would be great in a 2wd buggy.

[@PopalongRC]

We had a quick chat with them Not much time for live in the end :(

[@areadierc2803]

@@PopalongRC some good results i see . Well done .

[@adrc1192]

The Willspeed RF3 conversion for the 22 5.0 DC sorted out all the problems. Just converted mine and its just ace 😎

[@PopalongRC]

Might look into that

[@mauserkk98]

Have fun racing ,looking forward to the gideo review.

[@PopalongRC]

Check back soon

[@paulhopkins9748]

New to the channel and have subscribed, love the derek and clive vibe

Cheers Paul welcome to Popalong

[@Pablo668]

Looking forward to seeing how you do with the new buggy.

[@PopalongRC]

We are too

[@johnnyhaberfield721]

Dolly get a Polaroid of this.😊✌️

[@lo2713]

The LD3 may be a car to get me back into modern racing ? But its way down on the want list, ive a set of the 2WD fusions to try out, just wating on the inserts to be in stock. But look a good tyre 👍

[@PopalongRC]

Keep posted for progress

[@Ravenscry666]

Chaps, hope all is going well at the Iconic Cup ! Thought I might throw something in there..I have today just finished building the TT02 BR… I know you are getting into your buggies and the LD3…. But I think you should have a butchers ….

[@PopalongRC]

We consider the TT02B to be similar to a stock Vantage. Very good entry class for sure

[@Garethfrostturkeythroat113]

Very nice is it the LD3M you went for I look forward to your uploads on it in the future I’m sure your excited

[@PopalongRC]

We can’t wait Gareth

[@Garethfrostturkeythroat113]

@@PopalongRC yes I could see the excitement, I honestly hope it runs great for you 😊

[@alybroom]

Lighter fluid!!!

[@markschroeder1214]

Love Tamiya I got a tt01e that does great

[@PopalongRC]

Super fun

[@oopster74]

Lol the lighter fluid comment! Was just about to say about it cleaning the tyres when you did.

[@PopalongRC]

Very effective too

[@paulstar808]

Ok, so what’s the motor in the liquid all about?

[@PopalongRC]

It’s an old hack to get the brushes seated properly, otherwise known as “water dipping”👍

[@Helghast73]

So Carl what LD3 did you go for the carbon one ? The fire at Luton airport was a range rover which have a bit of history with 🔥😬, naughty though but wasn’t as bad as the one in Liverpool but anyway I thought you was going to say a Tamiya started it 🤣 Good luck with the iconic race and enjoy the weekend 👊

[@PopalongRC]

Cheers buddy No I’m going for the LD3M

[@Lee352003]

There's no way that Luton airport fire was caused by a diesel motor! 😂

[@chowettgoes]

Defo the right decision to ditch the TLR. Look forward to seeing enjoying buggy racing again / getting lost in setup advice 😂

[@Luke-en2tk]

I think there's only two things Mark won't share with Carl and that's his B6 race buggy and his wife 😛

[@PopalongRC]

Hahahaha let’s leave Dolly out of this

[@Luke-en2tk]

@@PopalongRC 😂

[@TheTerracide]

When i was young I was totally into tamiya… lately like 30 years later i wanna get back into RC and doing all kinds of investigation but Tamiya is like a timecapsul from the 80s where other companies just seem to make much better cars and cheaper too. I think ill pass tamiya this time I don’t wanna race tamiya just coz elderly clubs only have tamiya cups. I say no!

[@PopalongRC]

What do think you will go for

[@TheTerracide]

​@@PopalongRCprobably a Traxxas or Arrma car. I was amazed by the quality of two cheap chinese 1:14 and 1:12 Wltoys cars i bought for my son that got me interested again. I do want at least 1:10 preferably 1:8 for myself.

[@Luke-en2tk]

A 4cell NI-MH battery would be better for running in a brushed motor 6cell is a bit 🚀😂

[@PopalongRC]

Hahaha maybe

[@Luke-en2tk]

@@PopalongRC just want to bed the brushes in slowly, you went the Talbot way 🚀🔥

Don’t get the ld3 the new xb2 will be out soon.

How do you make a Tamiya bark?....Pour lighter fluid over it , put a match to it and WOOOFF!. 🤐
