  • We plan to put LC Racing PTG1 to the test on the track as we take it racing. How will this affordable RC car get on with a high traction carpet track. Before it can go anywhere we need to get some electrics in it and see how it goes.
    LC make some amazing affordable race cars and buggies.

    I've got the emb-t 1/14 and it's brilliant. Purchased a load of spare parts when shipped from china, and they're all still sat waiting to be used. Very durable.

    LC racing sure do make some great looking cars, looking forward to seeing how you guys get on with them all.
    Handy info for those that don't know - these are the cars (at different scales) many of the earlier WLtoys are based on so the parts are interchangeable. The LC racing stuff is much higher quality but the spares are the same price as the WLtoys ones, so much more worthwhile getting LC spares rather than WL ;)

    Run these as a class. Stock tyres, stipulate a motor that has to be used, press play and go racing. Making it about the driver rather than how deep the drivers pockets are. But yeah, the engineers from LC have to stop naming the cars. Ask the courier or delivery person randomly to pick a name.

    Finally the LC Racing PTG 2. Heard lots of good things about the 4WD Rally Car Kit for the past 2 years. Hope you guy can do a demo run video on & off road for the car. Maybe...give us the comparison with the Tamiya XV-02.

    Hey, hope you are both well. First off thank you for all your content, because of your racing videos I'm about to start a new journey in RC racing. The PTG1 Will be my first racing model, apart from the TC6 racing rig I already picked up a year or so ago. Any way I need advice on what electrics to put in and am wondering if you have any build videos for a new racer? Thank you

    • @PopalongRC
      @PopalongRC  5 месяцев назад +1

      Mark did a build on the rc10b6.4 and Carl did build and series on the TLR and LD3. We have also done lots of TT01 build and setup guides.
      We should probably do a beginners guide to buggy racing

    Your video really perked my interest in these LC racing buggies - the problem is a real lack of availability!
    I followed your link for the U.K. supplier, but they don’t sell direct. Went looking on their supported U.K. dealerships listings - looking for the LC10 B5 and drew a big blank. Most of the listed dealers don’t actually stock any of the LC racing line!
    Even if you could find one, spares backup or lack thereof would be a big problem for anyone in the U.K. looking to actually race these cars! Mehhh 😢

    Unless I'm mistaked that Swedish word 'Fart' has the same origin as the German word Fahrt (might have an umlaut). It generally means to drive, to go, travel I think speed as well.

    Hi Guys, Hope all is good, first off great vids, perfect for noob's like me, I've just bought the VRX Racing Carbon Pro rolling chassis (same as FTX Vantage). The plan is get my own chose of electrics in it. What my question is, the body that comes with the chassis isn't very nice or good quality. So, will an LC Racing PTG1 fit or do you have a recommendation for a body that would. I know it wont fit perfect and will need so trimming, Thanks Guys

    I think as a starter to get into racing the pgt-1 at £200 as a roller is expensive and still needs a lot of equipment to get it going. If you don’t have spare stuff laying around to fit then before you know it you’re upwards of £250. Then if you decide it’s not for you that’s a lot of money you won’t get back! I want to race but I’m going with used . But saying that the cars look really nice quality

      I hear you here, but I do not believe you start racing with 4wd buggy. I'm in France, and 4wd buggy class is only a modified one. This is more for advanced or experienced hobbyists. Maybe, you guys have a 'standard' class for those buggies aswell. And at this price, I can't see any other 4wd buggies despite the Hobbytech BXR s2. So, the possibility are not that wide in this price tag.

    Parts parts parts....that is what makes my decision on buying anything RC. For the US market, the only ones I consider is Losi, Team Associated, and to a lesser degree Arrma and Traxxas. I'll never own a Traxxas and I have owned an Arrma. I also won't consider a ARTR as putting it together is fun. I love to put a Losi or Associated kit together. I would love to own a new Schumacher but there is no parts support here. Someday I might just by a 4WD Schumacher just to put it together.

      We have the TLR 5.0 elite and it is without doubt the worst race buggy due to lack of support here in the UK whereas the Schumacher parts are easy to get .

    if you happen to talk with beyond RC you tube channel he recommends a lot of the cheapest available RC'S that in my opinion deserve to be classed in the don't waste your money department . RC'S that i wouldn't wish upon anyone accept enemies 🤣 , because the cheapest RC'S have all sorts of issues with them and the sort of issues that give good RC'S a bad name . LC RACING though is definitely not in that cheapest bracket though . The best QUALITY beginners on road rally car in my mind is definitely LC RACING'S lipo version LC RACING EMB-RA RALLY car , and it well and truly is one of the best quality made beginners on road rally cars available at the amazing price of £212 including postage from DMS RACING , when they manage to get stock in the of LC RACING EMB-RA CARS 🤔 . I have 4 lipo version LC RACING EMB-RA RALLY cars . This is a starting price where an excellent RC car works as a proper RC should , unfortunately there are no other RC'S of LC RACING's RC pedigree QUALITY starting at the £200 mark for RTR LIPO version RC'S , and that includes WLTOYS RC'S at half the cost of LC RACING RC'S . With LC RACING you get a new ready to run RC car that well and truly works and runs without issue straight out of it's box from new 👌🏽👍 .
