The Best Scale RC Builds of 2023

[@scalebuildersguild]

Yes, I know it's a Series III. I misspoke.

[@Qfrcy]

Such an honour to have my Land Rover Tow truck in this video! Thanks so much Matt, I can’t wait to see what next year brings us all! 😍

[@scalebuildersguild]

Happy New Year my friend!

[@prinznapp2018]

Your truck ist awesome...IT was great to See it live on SherpaDays this year.... Happy new year!

[@Qfrcy]

@@prinznapp2018 thank you so much! 🤩

[@andyb9994]

Amazing build, your Craftsmanship and talent are on another level 💯

[@Stempy]

Recovery vehicles are so awesome. I really want to build a Matt's Off-road Recovery Wrecker. Amazing work!

[@boduke9428]

That's insane. I can't imagine having the patience, much less talent required for these builds. I'm sitting all pleased with myself for making my Gorgon brushless, reinforcing the body and adding a store bought wheelie bar yesterday. These are truly built, not bought. I wouldn't be surprised if they mined their own ore and harvested the lumber for them. Great work guys!

[@daylightdies7194]

If you haven't already maybe consider a tamiya kit

[@Oilshock]

how did you reinforce the body? I got one for christmas but the body is pretty weak. thats probably the only downside besides the battery.

[@boduke9428]

@@Oilshock I went with Gorilla tape inside. I didn't do the back good enough tho. I busted a back corner today. Definitely do 2 or 3 layers on the bottom rear.

[@CenReaperYT.]

Kevin Talbot just put a tape net and resin to glue it. Strong and lightweight. He did it on a high speed car if I remember​@@boduke9428

[@Livlifetaistdeth]

I look forward to this episode every year. Thank you for introducing me to such amazingly talented craftsman. It's such an inspiration.

[@scalebuildersguild]

Agreed! Thanks for watching!

[@saturnfivehynrgrc581]

Matt, don't sell yourself short man. You did create a steam powered RC. Like button energized.

[@NovemberFoxtrotRC]

That Comanche is absolutely insane 🤯

[@Mike_and_Life]

"What more could you ask for?" Nachos. The answer is always Nachos. These builds are nothing short of spectacular. Just amazing work! Thanks to everyone for sharing their talent.

[@scalebuildersguild]

The answer is always nachos... 😂 Thanks for watching and Happy New Year!

[@Rigel_Chiokis]

The tow truck looks authentically used, abused and old. Yet still carries an air of toughness that only the Land Rovers had. Beautiful work on that one Qfrcy.

[@scalebuildersguild]

Agreed!

[@lpormedia4553]

Those twin traction beams on the rsrc future build are beautiful, hope to see those again!

[@FlyingPigmyHippo]

Definitely some impressive builds. Thanks Matt for putting this video together, as well as maintaining the SBC forum.

[@scalebuildersguild]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@PeterCPRail8748]

Some fantastic builds!

[@Moe44125]

Fantastic builds. ❤ And Happy New Year to everyone.

You got me, I joined the SBG forum! Just loved this episode! Great job!!! ❤

[@scalebuildersguild]

Welcome to the forum and thanks for watching!

[@imthejaybird]

I’m always amazed at what people are doing with styrene, but Fab1ten’s and RSRC’s metal work really hits me in a warm spot. I love a well machined part or a nicely coped tube joint. Really gets me excited about building trucks!

[@scalebuildersguild]

Glad you liked the video! Happy New Year!

[@longtalltexanrc3358]

There are so many fantastic builds on the forum and these you have chosen are so over the top. Kudos to all

[@scalebuildersguild]

Agreed! Lots of inspiration on there!

[@maartendemunck]

Happy new year Matt! I'm following the SBG forum and KZbin channel for years and it's just incredible to see my own Volvo in the best builds video.

[@scalebuildersguild]

Happy New Year to you too! You deserve it!

Great video Matt! and content from SBG is totally the best! ;) I had a real 1/1 series 3 years... multiple decades ago... and I'm thinking that Quintons build is an amazingly scale build 👍

[@scalebuildersguild]

Thanks for watching! I was blown away again this year by the quality of the work.

[@briang.sherwood7518]

[@scalebuildersguild]

[@ryurc3033]

Ive been watching make it rc lately. The model car stuff is absolutely a throwback to my youth, but every one of these is fantastic level of detail far beyond what used to be done in model cars, let alone rc!

[@DoubleClutchProductions]

Such amazing talent! The attention to detail blows me away. 👊😎👍

[@scalebuildersguild]

I’m always blown away by the builds the forum members create! You should share yours there too. Just watched your latest, awesome stuff!

[@tmgreen122]

That buggy gives me Motorstorm vibes. 👏👏👏

[@scaleworksRC]

It's a form of art for sure.. and that first one was just 🤯 wow. I have some metal working skills (had to make a complete wing section from sheet aluminum in college), and have much respect for that man's skill and patience. You can see the heart and soul put into that one.

[@scalebuildersguild]

Agreed! Thanks for watching!

[@jeffyoung8649]

RSRC build is amazing!! That is some incredible detail and small scale machining!!

[@scalebuildersguild]

Agreed!

[@charlieshankles]

Amazing builds and great video recap. Do we get a montage of all your intros throughout the year? Loved when you did that last year. I'm chuffed to see what you do in 2024🎉

[@scalebuildersguild]

I forgot about that one! Thanks for the reminder!

[@mustang8812822]

Guessing that they probably had the cnc machines first for big projects,,and then got into RC. All these rigs are awesome.

[@scalebuildersguild]

They're very impressive!

Congratulations for all builder's 🎉🤘👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽

[@GeorgiaBoyRC]

Great inspiration to see all these builds. But how do you choose which build to work on?

[@smithandshortdogs]

On the first build (sand scorcher): It reminded me of home. As a student in Kenya many of my classmates apprenticed on the Safari Rally the name that the East African Safari Rally is now called. (Note there is a race for historic vehicles called the East African Safari Rally in honor of the history of the race).

[@buysncharge]

It's a really nice truck. It's very scale.

Best of luck in 2024 and Happy New Year from Denmark

I hate to be that guy but somebody's gotta do it. That's a Series III Land Rover. The plastic grille and fender mounted headlights are the distinguishing features. Although there were some very late Series IIAs with the fender mounted lights, that is rather uncommon and they still had the metal wire grilles.

Yes, I misspoke. But thanks for clarifying for others.
