[@RocketDogRc]

I think the best thing for this year is Bret and his help in making awesome videos for Amainhobbies.

[@AMain_Hobbies]

Thank you RocketDog! It's been a great year. Have a great Holiday and New Year my friend. -Brett

[@RCPropaganda]

That list was pretty legit. I got a set up of those SL drivers and they are def quality, I been reaching for them more than my mip's now.

[@tonyromano6220]

RC Propaganda damn!

[@TheTechBuyersGuru]

A lot of interesting stuff on the list that I wasn't familiar with. So much great innovation in the hobby! That ball cup driver would make building kits so much more enjoyable, LOL!

[@AMain_Hobbies]

Very much. Making turnbuckles no longer hurts! -Brett

[@charlesmcgehee3227]

You can also take a kit supplied ball cup driver, those "T" type wrenches, grind off the sides and make your own driver. But the ones they have are ready to go. I was dreaming about those servos shown. Fast. Waterproof. Sweet.

[@glennhobbs59]

That’s awesome. The DMS switch 💪🏻💪🏻

[@dsbrothers2898]

I got that #9 Servo and I love it👊🔥🤟. Great video.

[@flintTC]

All are really good cool stuff. The cell checker is pretty sweet, with all the different uses.

[@brich2929]

Great video, Brett!

[@drjavogel]

Fantastic RC video. I KNOW a lot of work went into production. Merry Christmas all my AMain friends. Oh, love the ball cup driver because finishing up suspension links is arduous.

[@AMain_Hobbies]

Thank you John! Happy Holidays my friend and thank you for all your contributions and feedback with the videos. Much appreciated. -Brett

[@drjavogel]

[@JUICY_TIME]

Great top 10👏👏👍

[@charlesmcgehee3227]

The servo, GPS unit, X6 iCharger,........all of the stuff on your list is pretty good looking stuff. I visit the AMAIN site. I'mm looking for a decent set of tires for an old HPI mini nitro. Please wear some eye protection when handling LiPo batteries, especially if you are charging or discharging them. Thanks for the list Brett!

[@randyseaver8319]

Put some lights on that tree! Lol! Want the spectrum cell checker! I dig it! Especially for the price!!!👍👍😎👽

[@AMain_Hobbies]

I know... We forgot to plug them in. Unlike me, the XBC100 works everytime; you'll love it. -Brett

[@vickymaldonado1601]

Thank you for all your helpful videos I'm new to the hobby I'll be picking up the protec drivers for myself and the cell checker for my nephew I'm in Los Angeles and were planning to take a trip up to a main just before Christmas once again thank you

[@AMain_Hobbies]

Cool man! Bring your R/C's for the track if the weather is decent. That's a long drive so you'll need some R/C therapy. -Brett

[@lepadilla72]

Nice list.

[@cesarcortes77]

Phenomenal video. Great suggestions! Is there a part 2 to this??

[@joeyfesta2042]

A good set of tools 4 sure.#1.

[@00godlovesus]

Good choices

[@davidpeterson9422]

Merry Christmas 🎅👍👍

[@rickbarg3980]

Just orderd that servo

[@vhopkins2150]

Nice!!! You should do a video on the top 10 touring cars

[@juandiegorodriguezalvarado6369]

600 dollar transmitter My car costed 350 dollar NEW

[@nfavor]

XBC100 is cool but it's still that you can ONLY use the servo tester with an EC3/IC3 battery connected. I had a 6 cell LiPo battery nearby and tried the servo tester with just the balance leads from the 6 cell LiPo and the servo tester was greyed out

[@notbuyingit8047]

We use a version of that splice tube in USAF aircraft wiring repair. The solder joint is unreliable so we usually solder first and then use the tube.

[@AMain_Hobbies]

Interesting. You find the tube still holds and seals well? -Brett

[@notbuyingit8047]

AMain Hobbies Yes we did find the seal is serviceable. But the ones we used are not exactly the ones you have there, the heat shrink we had was transparent blue and was basically inflexible compared to this hobby grade version.

[@notbuyingit8047]

AMain Hobbies this is what we used www.connecticc.com/products/conacc/soldersleeves.html

[@notbuyingit8047]

Basically they were never meant solder wires together, that’s why we always soldered first. It’s more to add a wire onto a ground shield termination.

[@gaberealrc7355]

that xbc100 looks pretty cool, can test servos as well i see..

[@xdxe8606]

The skyrc gyroscope, 15 bucks for a freaking gyroscope dude!!!

[@charlesmcgehee3227]

I recall when gyro's cost 10 times that much and were not 1/10th as effective as today's Gyro's. I love me a good Gyro.

[@rogerlid2118]

great!

[@SHARK1202X]

I have the ISDT battery checker which is just as good

[@AMain_Hobbies]

Yep, that's a great device. -Brett

[@SHARK1202X]

I know you have to say the Spektrum one because that's what you sell. thanks for the video. Very nice to know what I should put on my Xmas list

[@markclausson564]

On the icharger you say this charger has a maximum of 80 watts, When it actually has a maximum of 800 watts. Huge mistake there buddy.

[@sc10rs]

Excellent VIDEO my friend!!!! 😊🤙🍻🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺

[@mikejurnak0324]

Can you do all Lipo brands on the balance checker?

[@AMain_Hobbies]

Most batteries. Traxxas iD connectors do not work because they do not have an exposed balance wire. -Brett

[@bldjln3158]

Doesn’t ballooning increase speed because of a larger circumference?

[@MrSupermugen]

yes correct. thats why belted tire users cars seem slower.

[@charlesmcgehee3227]

Well, yes in theory. But have you ever seen a tire on a buggy get literally thrown off of the rim? Do what you can to keep your tires mounted. And when running the wheels at a high speed, make sure the vehicle is on the ground. Explore the art of balancing wheels too. It can be done really inexpensively and really can increase speed.

[@andi3732]

the spektrum lipo checker looks like a clone from isdt lipo checker

[@MrRyanchester]

I have a question about the battery checker that took the #1 spot... please help if you can! I have 3 3S 2200MAH IC3 packs i run and i also am buying a UMX plane that will need a 180-300mAh 2S 7.4V LiPo JST-PH flight battery. I have never used that type of connector and will need a charger. Will this item check/balance/charge/(basically work) with both types of batteries mentioned here? Thank you!

[@AMain_Hobbies]

Hello. Any LiPo battery that has an XH balance wire will connect to the XBC100. Even if your batteries do not have XH, and feature a different style, there are adapters to make it compatible. But all you batteries should work, as long as they have that balance wire. Please note: the XBC100 is not a battery charger, so it will cell check and balance your cells, but not charge them. Thank you. -Brett

What's going to have best RTR trucks for xmas or after should be cheaper there is hobby shop off Sahara in las Vegas Nevada hope he is nice in handicapped so I like traxxas because some models have flip over button on remote but I really like Arrma infraction and Mojave I'm get Mojave first then infraction have charger and 6s lipo batteries and then I'm all set

It takes a real sucker to buy an aluminum driver bit for the price they're asking. You could make your own tool for a fraction of that price.

[@AMain_Hobbies]

Hey, the driver is also offered in 3D Printed PLA at a fraction of the price: www.amainhobbies.com/schaffner-racing-products-printed-1-10-scale-off-road-1-4-drive-ballcup-driver-snr10000032-01/p1010489 -Brett

AMain Hobbies it really doesn’t matter which one. But as far as original factory design from the original factory/brand I think the k501 2019 is an amazing engine from a small company. With the new protek samurai O.S. .21xzb right behind it .😊

On the spectrum smart Checker, You say it's capable of 6S, when it is actually capable of 8S. Another huge mistake.
