UK RC Truckers National Gathering - 2021 | Britain's LARGEST RC Event!

Today you join me for something completely different. A few months ago I was invited by the team behind the UK RC Truckers national gathering to attend their annual show at Newark show ground.
The closed event for members took place over a sunny weekend and featured a giant RC layout for people to run RC Trucks, cars, diggers and all manor of construction vehicles.

Mad wot these modelers have produced thankyou for the video

[@henrybest4057]

Somebody mentioned that they'd like to see trains there too. If there were some 3.5" gauge Eurotunnel wagons to transport their trucks from one end of the hall to the other, that would be cool. They could also have a container terminal.

[@NewJunction]

That would be great!

[@model_trains_]

Great video and nice to see some trucks! Still longing a video on new junction 2… Stay Safe :)

[@colinsmith1928]

Yes please new junction, more of this please.

[@mattmeister31]

Didn’t realise I was being filmed whilst operating the JCB telehandler at the start 😂 just as well I didn’t go wrong 😅 great video Richard and thanks for attending 👍

[@NewJunction]

No one was safe haha 😆

[@mattmeister31]

It would appear not!! 😂😂

[@TanVasinTrains]

So why does your video take so long to do and r u going to make the oo scale layout?

[@NewJunction]

@@TanVasinTrains life gets in the way lol

[@AgentRafa]

Mattmeister31@ I'm new to the whole RC phenomenon; so I hope you don't mind me asking a couple of questions: - That telehandler looks amazing, can I buy a similar one somewhere? - Farm tractors; I see them in many videos, Fendt, JCB, Claas etc, but I haven't found them in any shop, do you know where to buy them?

[@liammcgrath2306]

If it was open to the public, more people may be interested

[@waynegoddard5232]

Great Video..

[@RudyVanquickelberghe]

I hate these video's....It makes me extreme jealous...I have 7 Tamiya 1/14th rc trucks myself. I live in Belgium, and we don't have such an events here. I wish we had....😒 Very great initiative!!! Its amazing how the hobby lives in the UK and far beyond! Great work!! Just awesome!!👍👍 Thanks for sharing!

[@johnwhiteside8760]

we do have attendees from Europe

[@cedarcam]

I have been to Euromodelbouw Genk a few times and seen this in one of the halls there. There are also agriculture models on show. The show has a bit of everything and has always been worth going to. I have taken video there.

[@RudyVanquickelberghe]

@@cedarcam Thanks for the info!! Can you please tell me when this show takes place, i would like to see this, Thanks!

[@cedarcam]

I really enjoyed watching these at a model show in Belgium. It is great to see you showing them and would be good to see more of this kind of thing. There are even HO scale models now they are amazing to see with working lights indicators, brake lights and emergency vehicles complete with sound.

[@andrewshaw4052]

Always liked the excavators, face shovel looked great.

[@deborahharrison2659]

Absolutely fantastic ! The quality of build and commitment to produce this event is truly amazing. Well done to everyone involved and to those you inspire.

[@NewJunction]

Thanks!

[@RobA500]

That was absolutely fantastic, it wasn’t trains but looked just as much fun.

[@NewJunction]

Thanks Rob

[@breeze0413]

Wow I love this video USA need something like this

[@timothykeinard8085]

Thank you

[@NewJunction]

You're welcome

[@Twisted_RC]

Awesome video. I'll take mine there 1 year. Just annoying that its so far away from me EDIT: Ive booked to go this year. Cant wait!

[@stuarthayes5880]

Love it.......Always wanted to get into this side of RC but the Cost has always held me back.......

[@chelmswoodjunction]

Hi ya mate As always from your channel a brilliant video. It may not be trains but its still scale modeling and I myself used to be into nitro rc monster trucks and buggys in 1/8th and 1/6th scale. More like this mate please mate. Peter

[@NewJunction]

Thanks Peter!

[@AlecDenholm]

I loved this video, don't mind that it wasn't railways. It's interesting how this hobby can be so collaborative with some assuming roles as loaders/unloaders, others and transporters etc. It makes railway exhibitions look insular by comparison. I've visited some North American train shows where they achieve a little of this collaboration by creating modular layout sections (with prescribed entrance and exit tracks) that all fit together into a massive (though thematically inconsistent) layout, which they then take turns running their trains along. Anyway - more content like this will be well received I think.

[@NewJunction]

Thanks Alec!

[@frankfeely9235]

What different content, looks like a lot of fun. I loved that the digging guys were cooperating with the truckers, what a community.

[@NewJunction]

Looks great fun!

[@fauntleroysage6774]

Awesome video, the entire setup is awesome and it looks like it was a blast.

[@mileshigh1321]

This is amazing! Thanks for sharing!

[@NewJunction]

My pleasure Miles

[@COBO2]

Imagine being a model train exhibition and have one massive layout used by different people.

[@NewJunction]

Could catch on

[@Mr60059]

Hiya Richard. It was a very informative video and must say I did enjoy it . I also built model trucks as well as a modern image N gauge layout as it keeps my modelling skills sharp as well as a break from the railway especially with recent events.

[@colinsmith1928]

What!! Why have I just heard of this now. Booking for next year.

[@rcconstructionincanada3754]

great video!!!! its also really nice to see people being talked too, I would love to attend an event like this one day, its few and far between where i live.

[@RECKLESSMOTORstudio]

Its great gathering. Really good rc every moments is is enjoying

That looks so much fun. Nice one Richard. Thanks for taking us along. Yes, not the old Tonka Toys there at all! I hope you had a great time. Thanks again and Keep Well, sir. Cheers! PS You are forgiven that they aren't trains.

[@NewJunction]

Ha thanks!

[@gibbosj08]

fantastic Richard i just wish i had the money to buy a rc hydraulic excavator totally awesome 👍👍

[@NewJunction]

They're so much fun!

[@MrVinnyh]

Great to see something different Richard. I have N gauge railway, RC Land Rover & Tug boat, the later gets used more than the LR as I reside on a narrow boat.

[@NewJunction]

Ha I bet thats fun!

[@mantistoboggan1503]

I had no idea RC trucks were a thing before this video

[@NewJunction]

A big thing 😁

[@StBlazeyModelWorld]

I've got a 1/14 rc Scania, great toys....addictive lol. As you know, I love your railway vids but it great to see you investigating a different aspect of modelling. Give it a go mate. My Scanny sits at around £700 at the moment ...and still no trailer lol...Seriously...get into it...you'll love it. Stay safe

[@NewJunction]

Bit rich for my blood haha

[@StBlazeyModelWorld]

@@NewJunction Its only a couple of Heljans for your garden railway lol. Stay safe mate

[@hadleymoorrailway]

Wish I could have made this. I'm also an avid 1/10 drift car/crawler user and just purchased a 1/16 Leopard 2a6 tank the other week. The price of these rigs is on an entirely different level.

[@NewJunction]

Start small and build up 😊

[@hadleymoorrailway]

@@NewJunction I was sweating paying £300 for my tank 🤣

[@davidstrains4910]

Hope you had a great time there Richard it looked like a good event.

[@NewJunction]

Was fun 😁

[@cynic-al]

My kids talked me into building a truck a few years ago after seeing them at an exhibition. I built a truck and a couple of trailers and let them loose. It turns out they are pretty delicate, if they damage mine so be it but I would hate for them to damage someone else's so I don't dare go to things like this. The poor truck rarely gets off the shelf 🤣

[@MatthewRailways50033]

Nice video 👍👍👍👍😃😎🚚🚛

@@NewJunction pretty much. Also I noticed weathering isn't much of a thing with these guys

[@chrisskelhorn5727]

Yes, it may not be trains, but most enjoyable anyway! You seemed to have some fun there, so it gets my vote! Have you seen some of the R/C model aircraft? Some of those planes are massive! :-O I just love to see models of all sorts, whether they be trains, cars, lorries, buses, ships, or aircraft, but I lack the patience, funds, and skill to be able to build anything like these. Good video though, I thoroughly enjoyed it! Thank you for sharing! :-)

[@NewJunction]

Thanks Chris, I've seen the RC planes but I bet they're a pain to film lol wouldn't mind filming ships...

[@chrisskelhorn5727]

@@NewJunction I've seen a few model ships on KZbin, including a huge liner, which I think was about 14 feet long! It took 3 or 4 people to carry, launch, and retrieve it! It was tended by several tugs.

[@daver425]

Looks like a cool event. Too bad they parked those big vehicles over the disabled parking bays.

[@NewJunction]

They were privately owned so who knows

[@johnwhiteside8760]

we did have some more accessible disabled bays near to a extra entrance

I have a question what type of battery do you use at this Avent as my truck is using a 7.2v 2000mah ni-cd battery and I'm only getting about 15 minute play time can I use a lipo battery with my mfc 03 so play time is a lot longer
