Poor Boys RC
Канада
Добавлен 7 окт 2017
Greetings my Excellent friends! And welcome to my channel. I'm an old skool RC addict building, running, modifying, and painting RC cars, trucks, and buggies. I'm a total Tamiya and Kyosho fan, given that I grew up in the 80's and 90's, during the glory days of RC!
I chose the name "Poor Boys RC" as a bit of an homage to the good ol' days, when I was a poor boy, and many of us couldn't afford these amazing kits that we saw in magazines, in stores, and on TV. Well patience is a virtue, and now in my 40's I'm able to enjoy these kits, create fun content for other like-minded RC enthusiasts and try and recreate the experience of RC back in the 80's and 90's.
Stick around, soak up some nostalgia and enjoy the ride. And as always... Be Excellent to Each Other.

Hope it tugs on the nostalgic heart-strings and makes your cinnamon toast crunch milk taste even better as you chug it down.

Tamiya Porsche 956 - Unboxing and Building This Classic Race Car
The Mini Cooper and the Blitzer Beetle are my 2 favourite kits. I want a 3s RTR Blitzer with that black bodyshell.
That black Blitzer looks sick! Definitely don't ruin it with stickers. They're the only orange wheels I'd ever have on a RC.
Super Astute is only missing 4 bearings for the front wheels... Most people will be happy with supplying their own motor and ESC.
I'm really happy to see the Bigrock in colors other than black. Arrma is my brand but I'm tired of black trucks.
That's awesome looking! I would give the orange nose the same treatment, but leaving it orange. I think you're right, that's a shelf queen. Buy a second one to blast and keep that one for pretty. I love the raffles, too. It's a great way for us to support you with a chance to get something back. It's much better than just tossing you $5 honestly.
Very nice job, Mrs Fil. You did alright too, big fella. That would look great with a black nose cone and a Dark Side Of The Moon prism over the bonnet and roof. Again, great job, both of you. Love your work.
That's such a nice paint job, very worth the effort! It's a cool video concept you got going, Fil! I like how the collectors get a chance to get a unique RC model painted to a level that isn't possible for the home hobbyist! Yeah, I would also prefer just the black look, also paint the wheels and nosecone, no stickers allowed, he he... But as you said, the winner gets the priviledge of final customisation!
That is sickness to the max!!!!
Looks amazing your wife is very talented and between the both of you it will be a gem and I'm buying some tickets 🎟 🍻
Great Video. Mrs Poor Boys RC Makes The Bodies Look Like Glass! Looking To Try My 1st Tamiya Kit Soon. Ill Def Take Pointers From Your Builds.
Robust chassis? Like speed challenge robust? Sorry I missed two streams today! What! I didn't see any posts anywhere about it. I knew it was today... darn. I'm at the next one!
That body looks excellent 👌
NO Stickers, all black.
Wowsers Fil that's amazing 👏 well done Mrs poor boy's 👌
Damn, that is shiny.
That absolutely looks awesome! What a great build!
I love it. I can’t get the raffle page to work
What's happening on the Raffal page?
RC cars got so good since I last ran them in ......96???? Oh jesus. 7.2 nicads. 9 turn single winds. rc10t, losi xxt. full ball bearings. .... oh god. oh god... wheres my credit card!
It's crazy how far technology has come! 😅
Wow man! It is like Spinal Tapp's black album....you can see yourself on both sides! 😋😋
Hahaha, yesss! This paint job is at 11! 😅
Fil that body looks so good. Got to be honest I’d probably not let that go. Your wife knocked that paint job out of the park. And it’s an actual VW paint color. Killer. ❤
It's pretty unreal, hey? I'm happy to see it go to a good home where it'll be appreciated. 😉
Will it be better than your own one atl. Im in hospital end of February with very large inguinale hernia so been living on savings over 8 months and i have mortgage as wife not worked in years as had 3 operations for Cancer
It's already nicer than my own. Lol! Hope your healing goes well, pal. 🙏
Please spray nose cone black also
I think so! 🤔
Christ your wife is expert in spraying mate
Was that your wife you must both be quite young or good healthy living better that uk lo😅
She's younger than me, but we don't have kids and live a very healthy, active lifestyle. 👍🏻
There's something about a beetle ❤
Right?!?! They're so nice! 👍🏻
Mini, z. Very limited. North America body styles, great if your in UK or Japan. Bigwig was nice 3rd release.
Good eye, the Bigwig is a real standout!
I’m glad we’re both behind the man colds! Nobody should ever lose out on a good tire sniff.
Haha, totally! It was a doozie this year. 🤕
Man, your wife can lay some paint down!!! That black is GORGEOUS! A shine you could drown in. Thanks for showing the process.
She's got the skills in the family. Haha. 😉
I love seeing that clean paint kitchen! That is a rare sight. Nice work all around.
She's keeps her ship on course, Cap'n RJ! 🚢 😅👊🏼
Great Paint. I used a Volkswagon rattle cans on mine and primed filled the gaps also painted the front grill black.
Very cool! 👍🏻
drivers eyes were looking in my soul..trying to get my wallet lol
Hahaha! Legend has it, before he started driving Blitzer Beetles, he was a hypnotist. 😉😅
@@poorboysrc 👍🤣🤣
Oh yes that is an astonishing paint job by Mrs. Poorboy! Interesting to see the process. Great stuff Fil 😁👍
Thanks, Pete! She outdid herself again! 😅
Your wife has more talent than you😊. Very nice work, for sure.
Yeah she is!
That is amazing. So many steps. Like the Lunch Box, looks great.
Thanks so much!
Love the peugeot pooshow pronunciation 😂
Haha, how do others pronounce it? 😅
All European like. My foreign relatives can't pronounce it either. But I think I'll start calling it pooshow as well. I like it!
@@dodong_daniel pooshow just rolls of the tongue so nicely.
I’m in for the win! I think it would look best with treaded skinny wheels and tires up front and wide knobby tires in the rear, with the nose piece and any other body parts that would be typical of a 1:1 car, all black, probably no stickers or just a couple “choice” (<-is that period correct? Haha!) stickers added. Then it’ll look like a scale replica as it sits on a shelf collecting dust.
Haha, that would definitely make it a shelf queen!
Wow Fil that paint job is incredible, well done to your misses she's truly talented!!
I think she found a good side gig. 😆
always wanted to get one of these beauties. My winter has consisted of a topforce build along with a brat build. I've enjoyed both models .
Top Force is such a nice buggy! One of my favorite Tamiya builds. 😍
Super Shiny!!! She nailed the paint for sure, I would probably keep it all black and then pick up a cheap lexan body for a runner and the stickers to go on!
That's kinda what I was thinking. It's so pretty, it's almost a shame putting the decals on.
Gaat damn! That's like GLASS!!
Haha, right!.!? 🪞
So, what you're saying is, I need to get my wife enrolled in an auto body painting course so she can paint my RC bodies. Paying the tuition fee now.....
Stay tuned for more life hacks! 😅
I spray finishes as a woodworker and it’s really not a huge investment to buy an HVLP spray gun, air compressor, and all of the accessories needed. Then after watching a lot of RUclips videos and lots of practice you can spray finishes. Buy lots of sandpaper because you WILL most likely be sanding out drips, sags, and runs as you learn.
@BeauLeonard I actually started my auto body career 20+ years ago as a painter. I've done lots of spraying (and sanding!) In my day. 😅
Nice car and build. I always like to see the professional paint job step by step. Great video Fil
Glad you enjoyed it, Dirk. 👍🏻
Dammm bro the blitzer is looking very handsome. It will be a shame to drive it . A classic self queen in the making 💪🏻
Oh yeah. One scratch, and the tears start flowin'! 😫😫😫
Wow! That body is like glass . I would get a different body to stickerize. Go all black!
All black is the way to go, imo.
You are a blessed man, my friend. Tell the wife she has earned a beer! Fantastic work. If I win, she has to sign it.
Haha, I'll let her know. I'm sure she'd be happy to. 😊
I am considering both of these for my 8 year old, I am curious about the availability of replacement parts for the MXJ.
If you check their Amazon store, you'll find all your replacement parts there. 😉
Looks incredible! Does that final clear require a wet sand and polish or just cure? Looks like glass 💯
No need to polish it. She lays it down so nicely that you don't need a polish. She did this to my 1994 Firebird, too! 😍😍😍
@ Amazing! She is such a pro you guys make a good team and that is fantastic on the 1:1. Auto body painter in the house is priceless.
@@waynemattera8552 Thanks, pal! :)
