Time Attack Challenge! Putting The Tamiya Hotshot, Schumacher XLS & K1 Aero Around The BGRAT Track.

[@carlomac]

It’s good to be able to hear the cars when they’re driving for a comparison of the sound.

[@yeknommonkey]

Any chance of a re-upload without the music?

[@janierik]

I would like to see Tamiyas vs Kyoshos!

[@GameyDave]

Great! More of these fun vids please! haha!

[@londonpirates]

Love it! So interesting to see these cars go head to head and to see how the cars have progressed. That K1 is rapid 😀

[@Aro800]

Thanks for the fun video, it would be cool if you ran them all on a 540 silver can on 2s. My local club runs a 540 class and pretty cool really balances out the field from vintage to modern buggies. Love the track, wish I had the space.

[@JeffersonHumber]

This reminds me of a show I used to watch on BBC many moons ago where they used to review cars. 🤔

[@RCKickschannel]

Nope, no clue ;)

[@RCKickschannel]

Heehehehhehehehe 🙏🏻

[@d.dolphinstriker5737]

Nice to see them all on the track.

[@schuttrostig5729]

Nice! Great driving, that track has a dangerous corner with a hard wall. I sure hope none of you cars gets a bad impact there and damages the house !

[@RCKickschannel]

LOL no but the drone crashed into the house today LOL

[@mad-beerc3818]

Good fun that Gavin and love the Top gear like table! Not surprising you enjoyed the HS most to drive its a classic!! and not that fast in comparison obviously but always a pleasure to drive! I need to get one again!! Great stuff mate.

[@catxls1835]

I can't remember the Hot Shot being that nimble. I had a Super Sabre and it never cornered like that. The XLS out cornered most cars, except the PB Mini Mustang. Cool video buddy, loved it.

[@JPN7669]

Gav is The Stig of RC! We need to get him a white race suit.

[@sf2372]

Great vid.

[@jamesphillips2811]

Wow!! The ultimate trio! Nice collection of cars. That cat k1 aero is nice, I think it’s a generation ahead of my car sx2. Great video Gav your garden track is the best. 👍😎

[@RCACTIONAUSTRALIA]

Nice Run Gavin 😎👌🏻

[@turboboostHoonicow]

Nice Video! Same tires and motors would be better for sure😅 A medium jump could show some more... Schumacher are great cars👍 i like to see the cat xls vs avante

[@robbiebobster9672]

Hi Gav & Becca, loving the show, recently discovered your channel and going through your past video's. My mate's and I are planning a Rally rc competition and looking at timing systems, just wondered what you are using?

[@Ben-Lloyd]

The correct tyre choice will pay dividends 😁 Great video and love the leader board 😍

[@skylords2608]

You should slap the car times against the board the way Jezzer used to :)

[@brucebenner7606]

great hotshot there i would get that one then the rest of them could u tell me whats the different between the hotshot and the supershot and the hotshot 2 whats the best car i mean thanks

[@bluesimon13ify]

Wow that was surprising I expected the Schumacher to win but a nice surprise, shame about the hotshot,😀😀😀

[@chaosfruitbat5970]

Can we see some laps with the K1 on new tyres please? The ones on the car are almost slicks! ;)

[@michaelmontgomery6388]

To test the sterling out on the buggys, you should do some weaving in ñ out off the cones.

[@krisbohn4118]

Cool video, What type of tires did you put on the Schumacher XLS.

[@garymurphy5133]

Gavin,liking this track comp for the cars. Can you do a timed lap/laps board like Topgear?. You could even give the driver a name, rather than"The Stig" how about " The Git" just a suggestion.

[@VestedUTuber]

That's basically what he's doing, just without the comedy elements.

[@garymurphy5133]

@@VestedUTuber Kinda knew that,would be good to see a dedicated board. Will soon forget what did what

[@AntsRC]

What lap timing app do you use??

[@RCKickschannel]

LapTracker app. I was planning on getting a LapMonitor unit and I talked with the company about getting one on the show. The owner was happy to send one for review but he never came back to me in the end so I found the Laptracker app.

[@MarkBryanRC]

Hey, Gav, bet you can't guess what I was rooting for! :P

[@RCKickschannel]

The rally car? 👍🏻

[@RCKickschannel]

I watched your collaboration interview video. 👍🏻👍🏻

[@MarkBryanRC]

@@RCKickschannel Haha! Yeah, it was a Tamiya I was backing, anyway! But I reckon my TT-02 Type-S would give these buggies a run for their money on your BGRAT Track! :P

[@MarkBryanRC]

@@RCKickschannel Cheers, mate! Hope you enjoyed it! :))

[@RCKickschannel]

I love my Hotshot. It’s in need of some love but in this condition I can drive and enjoy it. I have everything to restore it but I keep putting it off as it will then become a shelf queen and I’m not ready to give up driving it just yet.

[@RobPollen]

Have you been steeling traffic cones... Also just built up avante 2011 after having 2001 as a kid.. Do you think bushless is a good idea .. And if so how much power do think 🤔

[@RCKickschannel]

Yes you can run brushless but don’t go bonkers 👍🏻

[@VestedUTuber]

I would have suggested a modern ~$250 2WD buggy RTR shootout, but there's not enough of those currently on the market to do that. It would literally just be the highly engineered Serpent SRX-2 MM RTR vs the powerful but woefully outdated Traxxas Bandit VXL, and we all know how that will go down - the SRX-2 would completely destroy the Bandit and the Traxxas Fanboys will get salty.

[@fordfsd]

How does the Falcon do on the track? A shoot out would be fun with tamiya 2wd buggies. Grasshopper, hornet, frog, falcon, fox.

[@RCKickschannel]

All coming to the BGRAT 👍🏻

[@ptaylor5014]

could you add something to outline the track like a garden hose or long piece of rope Just an idea for you if you have not already thought of it 👍 it would make it easier for us viewers to see were the actual track is.

[@RCKickschannel]

100% yes Paul! The cones work well for me but don’t work on camera. The plan is to change to a 5cm rope for edging. The issue is the bill is almost £200! I’m holding off to see if these videos are popular. If people watch them enough, I will save up and place an order for it. 👍🏻

[@ptaylor5014]

@@RCKickschannel Sorry for very late reply, but why not just buy a bright yellow garden hose and use that? cost only about £20 not £200! i know the hose will only be about half the diameter of the rope you mention.

[@gfdtjkitsxn7775]

Tt02b next pls

[@ericwood2790]

That was pretty predictable, would like to see era correct match ups, like the Frog vs the Kyosho Scorpion . The modern buggies with the right tires will always outpace the classic buggies. Maybe see some of those early 90s tamiyas like the Dyna Storm and Super Astute .

[@RCKickschannel]

Over time the lap time chart will match up cars from all time frames and classes

[@budbarlang3729]

great video, now you need to hire a proper racer to set the lap times.

[@Bulten1973]

Looking at body design, going from the old to the new, What happened!

[@VestedUTuber]

Engineering happened. RC car bodies have become a tuning option now, rather than just an aesthetic choice. Like them or hate them, aerodynamically optimized cab-forward bodies are here to stay, at least on the racing side of things.
