What's on the Bench Weekly Ep26 - Year of NO LEXAN!

[@jonathanfletcher97]

No way! An ACTUAL knife, was ACTUALLY built! Haha!!! Awesome man.

[@orincamp8659]

The Knife joke never gets old LOL. Happy New Year!!! here's to another great year of RC.

[@urdonercjeremyburris7541]

The knife joke does get old. It's over burnt out

[@liamRC5487]

But not to us...the viewers. Its like a sit com. Historic jokes... well done

[@scalebuildersguild]

Thank you and Happy New Year!

[@mmezger1]

An outlaw paintjob would be cool on that Porsche body. Like the Magnus Walker, urban outlaw porches

[@flatlander7288]

Rumbum racing. Channel your inner Hemistorm

[@slebdad]

I used to race 4wd touring car on carpet. Was a ton of fun, never worried about winning. Just had fun and did the best I could. Just enjoy the time on the track.

[@dirtberger4533]

Josh is going to be so jealous of your new tool.. that was nice of you mom to still keep you safe. I want one know,so quit. Really like the carpet car, looks fun.

[@adamhirerc78]

Awesome, I used to race on carpet oval years ago ,now racing on small concrete oval ,your gonna have a blast weather you win or not 👍🏁🏁🚩🏴🏳🇺🇸

[@billsrcadventures8806]

Love it when you post new tools as I’m a sucker for new tools and new knives.

[@scalebuildersguild]

My wife says I’m a big tool. 😂

[@dragonflyjoyride]

Thanks for all you do Matt! It might look cool to inlay some CF into that knife… ✌🏼

[@va-modellbau8181]

So many legendary liveries for the Porsche in my mind. Rothmans, Gulf, Martini, Vaillant, Jägermeister, Sunoco and many more🤩 The Name vor the pinkone is in German "Rennsau" Greetz Andy

[@hiimRoimuru]

The martini racing 935 Porsche paint scheme is one of my favs

[@durden.tyler537]

Matt, you need a M07R to go along with that. Handling and predictability are unsurpassed.

[@ashleyconnelley556]

Just now watched the live stream take over. Last night was the first one Iv missed. I was pissed this morning lol I was killed after work

[@thomasbialzik3060]

The mini bandsaw looks tempting 👀

[@JDMJDK]

Booze and cigarette sponsored cars are always the fastest. 🤙🏼❤️ Thanks for getting us all through 2022!

[@TimboSlice9er]

Nice little friction folder, you can get knife kits on Texas knifemakers supply

[@wrenchingoncars1884]

Their is the Gulf livery and the Martini livery. Those are always classics. Happy new years and best wishes in the new year.

[@frankhernigle8102]

When doing knives take some painters tape and cover the sharp part of the blade. Your fingers will appreciate it

[@timohoffmann5768]

Nice presents. I have a lot of Proxxon tools for the rc hobby and for my 1:1 cars. And they are very good. I bought my first nut and wrench set for cars and other hobbies back in 05 and whilst i take care of my tools, i use them without beeing overprotective and i have yet not had the need to replace a single nut. So you will have a lot of fun with those tools.

[@TheWright1]

Can wait to see the SBG paint job on the knife

[@ronstoner1656]

You will enjoy the Tamiya builds. The variety of topics in this series keeps my interest as a sub. I joined my son and grandson in the carpet racing earlier this year. We have built 2 TT01, 3 TT-02 and 2 M07 kits. They run well and have had a low failure rate. Also joined the Traxxas tech 2.0 class. All use the Hobbywing justock combos. Great fun for 3 generational recreation.

[@scalebuildersguild]

That sounds like a lot of fun! Happy New Year!

[@imthejaybird]

The Gulf livery is my favorite!!!

[@Darwin.B]

Matt, once you get your scales on that knife how you want them, send them to Josh to scan and then 3D print molds for forged carbon versions! Lol

[@tiger78e]

The classic Gulf livery is always cool but the "pink pig" liver is pretty cool

[@Antony_Fallen_Customs]

Love watching what's on the bench and all your other videos.

[@nealbechstein8350]

The Phaff Motorsports GT3Pro car would be awesome! The Plaid Porsche is perfect for Canadian winter racing

[@IowaBudgetRCBashers]

Proxon is the absolute best rotary tool in the industry

[@CoffeeHobby]

I got into tamiya spec racing this time last year as, like you, i have a local track, although it's outdoor tarmac. I have a MO-7 and I love it. I didn't think I would be competitive, but i soon got sucked into tweaking my setup, doing practice laps and fine tuning. It's been a lot of fun.

[@benrittenhousedotcom]

Carpet racing is awesome. Have fun and good luck!

[@scalebuildersguild]

Thanks! Stay tuned!

[@lxssard]

What a chill vibe on that video, very entertaining.

[@scalebuildersguild]

Thanks for watching!

[@kevinp2820]

🎉Happy New Year Matt and all SBG fans! Great shows and content. I got my start in RC carpet racing with a Tamiya Fox back in the day. Those days races were held in local auditoriums and several church meeting rooms. Sure was a lot of fun. Go have fun Matt!😊

[@rquino4210k]

I’ve really enjoyed the W.o.t.B weekly. Can’t wait to see what 2023 brings for this series

[@ridgerc5976]

A little lexan isn't to bad. Would like to see your styrene skills on another project. The Earth Roamer was bada$$.

[@afpiper]

I have that mini band saw. Had it about 10 years now and still works great. Proxxon makes solid tools.

[@forrestcrabbe]

The knife is cool. I dunno yer preferences, but, I would oil the handles with butcher block treatment. You can make yer own with white (food grade) mineral oil and beeswax. The store bought stuff has vitamin e added as a stabilizer as well. Pretty stoked to see how you paint that "porsche" body 🤘y'all have a badass day🤘🍻🤘

[@fatfreddiescat9952]

Rotary meet knife, knife meet rotary....whizz. Simple projects for simple men.

[@Spor777]

I love the knife shtick. Now when you say you built the knife I can say I watched you build that knife lol.

[@scalebuildersguild]

😂

[@jessdees9697]

Best of luck in 2023, happy New year !

[@dougholcomb6851]

Super excited to see some content on racing!

[@JimmyB55]

There is a purple scheme Porsche RWB Rotana 👌👍

[@FredoCares]

Paint the Porsche like Transformers G1Autobot Jazz (from the 80's show) !

[@rockriverpig]

Great episode!! Carpet racing!! Rotary tools!! Knives!! Ever since I got back into RC in 2020, I’ve always wanted to rip carpet again! Unfortunately, there’s not a track near me so it will be fun to watch your build and run footage!

[@scalebuildersguild]

Thanks for watching and Happy New Year!

[@liamRC5487]

Love your show. Another witty episode. I'm taking your advice and saving for the Pheonix . Happy new year. Look forward to seeing more👍👀👀

[@scalebuildersguild]

I think you'll like it. Thanks for watching and Happy New Year!

[@shawnthomas444]

crawlers are always my favorite but we also race mini-z's for fun! Mini Z Trolls lol

[@rc.remedy]

The accompanying hand gestures to the intro get me every time. #scalebladersguild

[@richardmancillas6247]

The Porsche how’s about the old school jagermeister race tempo would look 👀 great 😊 and have a happy and safe New Year.

[@Hobz79]

Funny, I just asked for (and received) a cordless dremel for christmas. I got tired of a corded unit and snaking the cord around my work. It definitely is bigger and bulkier than my old Bosch (that is having its bearings go out) so we'll see how that works out. I agree, a smaller unit would probably be more ideal but for the little dremeling I do it'll be ok. It would be nice if the dremel sat in a charging cradle between uses instead of having to pop the battery out to charge.

[@flynnstone3580]

Depending on what part of the body I'm grinding on, I'll wrap my Dremel in cardboard, put it in the vice, and hold body with two hands. Did two clear bodies like that with better control.

[@petechipps9770]

Happy New Year Matt!!! The knife joke stays. That’s my vote

[@Coolturtledudehellyeah]

I’m heavily going to recommend the gulf livery for the carpet car. Happy new years!

[@thman6453]

Pretty cool you starting a collection of knives that you built 😉 or assembled anyway 😆 🤣

[@scalebuildersguild]

😂

[@VermontScaleCustoms]

I saw the key chain in the ignition on one of your recent builds. Any future for scale pocket knives to make it into builds? Happy New Year, good sir. And may another Year of No Lexan be upon us!

[@chertrocktunnelgarage2171]

Another great episode. Will check out Proxxon as my Foredom is really old. Happy New Year.

[@Qthewingedserpent]

Happy New Year! I agree knife kits are hard to find..

[@animalpix13]

HAPPY NREW YEARS!!!!

[@BelowTheHardDeckDoesNotCount]

I love that you're going to do more on road next year. I just completed my Tamiya XV01 WRX STI a couple months ago and have been watching a lot of Formula 1 in preparation to build my F104 Pro II.

[@scalebuildersguild]

I love Formula 1! I never miss a race, and really want to make it to one in Montreal or elsewhere one day!

[@shadowsystemsrc9389]

You could use your new proxy rotary to shape the handle!

[@shadowsystemsrc9389]

And then the end clip plays 🤣

[@nukedathlonman]

Nice - looks like a very fun racer. Not sure where to go carpet racing with my M05 in this burg, will need to look into it at some point (other priorities at this time) - but my M05 is using that ESC and I am happy with it (it's solid). But the motor (there was only one option, and trust me it was a real PIA to get my hands on as it was only sold by one store and only available when they decided to bring them into stock (they would not accept orders for them) and tires you have where outlawed (only Tamiya branded S-Grip & M-Grip tires permitted - although what was allowed was traction compound and also CA gluing the tires edges - this was very needed on the front as the front geometry combined with the shape of the tires would cause the car to hook so well at speed it would flip the car in a corner). Car worked well (total blast to drive), but mine is very hefty with the lead I taped in strategic places on the chassis. I've also got all sorts of other mod's (my favorite being the geared 3Racing limited slip differential). Anyways, have lot's of fun (it is a very fun class)!!! And don't knock yourself out of the podium before you begin - the Tamiya M-class races are competitive, but the rules make for some real tight racing meaning you never know.

[@the3djs339]

Martini livery for the Porsche

[@mikemats4845]

Another great episode. I've always like the Martini and Yokohama liveries. Happy New Year!

[@BulldogB101]

You should do a retro paint scheme of like back in the 80s when they used to do that circuit

[@bigmiketamayo2668]

Gulf livery! FTW

[@malls9016]

Hey Matt, not sure if it's the same in Canada, but here in the UK we have to apply for a BRCA racing license before you take to the track... I believe you're allowed 3 visits without the license, just to get a feel for it

[@cooperwrks]

Keep this coming!

[@B_Skeen]

that Proxon table mount will come in handle when you form that knife handle

[@TrokaRC]

Reminds me of gran turismo Ctr Ruf “yellowbird” fast but hard to drive.

[@heinzdampf2596]

Great! Now I'm not only hooked on scale crawler...I'm also into Club-racing now. Thanks Matt!🤦‍♀ Serioulsy though, I just ordered a TT01e Porsche GT3 kit for a racing-club just 40 minutes away. Thanks for the inspiration man!I'm so pumped. I think I go for a classic Gulf livery. I wish you and your family and friends (not Josh 😆) a happy and healthy new year. cheers from Germany.

[@scalebuildersguild]

Should I be sorry 😂? Good luck with the racing and Happy New Year to you too!

[@gxtxRCcrawling]

keep it man and yes we enjoy it :D go into RWD Drifting to also indoor and fun :p

[@deweytaylor3267]

I look forward to this every week!!

[@scalebuildersguild]

Thank you!

[@quaili9068]

Nice. I've just ordered myself my first Mini-z awd evo for some indoor carpet/smooth surface driving. Although I'm setting it up more for drifting and don't plan on racing it since there isn't any nearby me. Looks like fun though.

[@chasentrophies]

Needs a gulf livery! Hahaha or apple Macintosh livery

[@lypheEddie]

Happy new year, bud! May 23 bless you with more finished builds and more success!

[@scalebuildersguild]

Thank you! Happy New Year to you as well!

[@MultiLEGODOG]

carpet racing, is a good time.

[@codyoscardavid6268]

Happy new year, Matt! It’s been an amazing journey learning from you this year and I can’t wait to see what the lexan lords have for you in 2023

[@scalebuildersguild]

Happy new year! Thanks for watching and stay tuned!

[@CrawlerRuth]

Happy New Year Matt and Rebecca. Thank you for an entertaining year of SBG. Looking forward to 2023.

[@scalebuildersguild]

Happy New Year!

[@longtalltexanrc3358]

Still my favorite series. Happy New Year to you and Rebecca!

[@scalebuildersguild]

Happy new year!

[@slowriderrc4790]

Happy new year! The best show 👌

[@scalebuildersguild]

Happy new year!

[@turksandjerps]

If I had your styrene skills I'd be building with lexan too.

[@scalebuildersguild]

Paint my fence!

[@CaseyD406]

Happy new year. I believe the Gulf livery would look excellent on your MO8 body. It just screams fast!!

[@Chris_Bumpus]

I gotta say you should do a Magnus walker paint scheme!

[@johnsavage7842]

Love the videos , can't wait to see the racing videos , should be fun , Happy New Year , keep up the good work

[@scalebuildersguild]

Happy new year!

[@nuge74]

Another great episode, Happy New Year! I’ve been looking at the Proxxon lineup to replace my 30+ year old Craftsman rotary tool, the old girl is on its last legs 😂

[@BANTAM53]

HAPPY NEW YEAR SBG!!

[@scalebuildersguild]

Thank you! Happy New Year to you as well!

[@lonemeno]

still at 8 m chasses have a cool nameing set up odd is a RWD and even is a FWD chasses

[@masjuggalo]

Was it the shell lively the blue and orange

[@fredrieger5226]

Another great episode to close out the year, well done! Happy New Year!

[@scalebuildersguild]

Happy new year!

[@GrimJerr]

Ha ha, I finally have my M-08 on the bench and the last of the reasonably priced hop-ups I could find are filtering in. Nice coincidence, I am going with a HW XR10 Juststock and 17.5T, Reefs 299 (got one of the red ones) and my trusty FS BS6. My 1st Tamiya build hoping the HW combo isn't too much for this kit. Probably went overkill on my Electronics, but I'm that guy 🙃

[@GrimJerr]

Pics on my Instagram, same name ✌

[@GrimJerr]

Commented at start of video, and pleasantly surprised to find you have similar setup, maybe I do know what I am doing after all 😂🤣😂

[@Br0rB]

Neat knife. You should have take me up on my offer for some ebony, mahogany or old teak (all of it so old that it's from proper rainforest destruction, and probably banned. None of that modern plantation crap), that I threw out during one of your livestreams. :p I made some croquet mallets from mahogany and ebony this summer. I probably spent like a thousand bucks, if not more, worth of old rainforest to make one for myself, one for the wife and one for our oldest son. They turned out beautiful though. 😎

[@Br0rB]

Also, I was viewer number 666 on this video. That's pretty sweet. :D

[@scalebuildersguild]

Wow! Very cool. Happy New Year!

[@brianellison3525]

You need to come up with an SBG livery and run all your actual comp rigs in that look. Like no matter what sport, you can spot Red Bull or Budweiser Racing. Whatever you come up with, it'll be awesome cuz it's on a 911. One of my fave cars. Wish you the best, be well and have fun 😊

[@FiXeL666]

Should have bought a wired dremel! Mine's going stronk after 12 years! (maybe because 220 volts AC) Tbh, Proxxon is definatly a step up. Nice upgrade! Happy New Year!

[@FiXeL666]

Oh and i am definatly a Tamiya fanboy, so i approve your next project. ^^

[@scalebuildersguild]

Thanks for watching and Happy New Year!

[@TheBeardedGorilla89]

I made this comment, well i assembled it. Lol, Happy New Years Matt. I think youll definitely enjoy onroad carpet racing. Its a blast and a fun opposite from crawling

[@scalebuildersguild]

😂

[@michaelkeefer1471]

Be careful with that Tamiya thing. Next thing you know it'll be a rally car, for the trails. Then another road car. They will creep into monthly mayhem. When will it ever end? n+1 that's when. Happy new year! Oh and Nice knife.

[@scalebuildersguild]

You're not the first person to warn me! Thanks for watching and Happy New Year!

[@offroad1911]

Livery idea, KFC and somewhere on the car would be the phrase “Fastest Chicken on Carpet” lol

[@flynnstone3580]

Did you see Tamiya's full sized beetle? Now they need to find a crash dummy to drive it.

[@Goferris]

Do a Jägermeister or RWB livery. Keep up the good vids Matt!

[@Goferris]

Also, you should probably put some loctite on the hardware on that knife that you made.... well assembled anyway.

[@Sysiphos]

Do some training on the track before racing, ask help for tyre prep etc. It's not gonna be fast with those electronics, but you can have fun like with the kamiteks even if it's more serious racing. It's gonna be fun just being at the track with the other racers, just like with crawlers. I used to race TSP-10 and M-03s (fwd tamiya) but like you I'm not great in race situations, I'm not at all competitive anyway so crawling's more my speed.

[@Hiei1029]

I just got done watching last night takeover now I got the last what’s on the next weekly to watch sweet! Matt you and josh are killing it! Keep it up. Can I use traxxas lexan paint with tamiya lexan paint? I need chrome bumper on a lexan body

[@scalebuildersguild]

Yep, all lexan paint is compatible.

[@RandallRCTherapy]

Porsche Red and Black trim

[@FearNothing321]

Go with the classic Brumos Porsche livery

[@anthonysmalawipredators8794]

I ❤️ lexan

[@BlindGuyRc]

Well thats a cool knife. That's not a knife.. That's your knife. Hahaha. I should look into one of those. We have a Lee's valley. Haha. Fun to see you build a make a knife. Well..... Assemble it anyways. Lol. Hope you have a great new years. See you in 2023. BTW. Those are cool tools, and love that carpet racer. Should do a ken block theme for the body.

[@scalebuildersguild]

Happy New Year to you too! Hope married life is treating you well!
