    I've always said that this is THE best Pie/Breakfast food and RC channel on the web.
    It was pretty brave debuting the LD3 on that track. I don't think I could get a buggy around it, let alone doing it quickly.

    Great channel lads! Just bought the LD3 & now it’s a waiting game as it’s only back in stock tomorrow (29th November). Really looking forward to the build and not rushing it.

Great videos and love that new LD3.. im buying a new buggy in 2024 and waiting for january for the new associated to see what they came up with before i pull the trigger on my 1st shcumi

    its about about practice time like you said before lads, been racing my LD1 for months now and still learning on every meeting.
    With the jumps i found tweeking the boost(timing) give you that little more for jumps otherwise it didnt have pace and just crash into the jumps lol

    • @PopalongRC
      @PopalongRC  Год назад +2

      Car has plenty of pace but need to check speed to make landing so I was judging speed wrong . Practice and that will be sorted

    Nice video guys! Schumacher is getting better and better! Of course I will buy a LD3 soon, testing this with a Elceram Nitro will be interesting... I think Schumacher will not bring a Mi9 soon. The Mi8 is a very nice car and the hgt-tuning is quite new. I only used my Mi8 for Drag-Racing yet, but 1.85sec/2s and 1.74sec/3s is quite o.k.😅 🐄💨

    I have been using a buggy during the summer out doors at my local club with a Hobby wing 8.5 motor. I wondered if you could tell me if you can use an 8.5 motor indoors on carpet at clubs? Many thanks. Stuart.

    My local TC club ran an F1 class. Fast cars and fun to watch though they looked really sensitive to setup. 6.5 turn would be mod at my track. Is there a rookie/novice/sportsman class you can run in with a 17.5 or 13.5? 6.5 is a handful. I watch guys go from 17.5 to mod at my track and they are pulling wheelies and nearly doing backflips from the extra speed until they get a little used to it. Very unforgiving
