    That's sweet man....I have been making rc cars out of things that didn't belong for 30 years and anytime I made a car go that fast and used the old plastic gears that came in it they would melt literally so that is awesome....that car needs a marble floor or concrete slab no bumps at all just scale buildings and it would rule....again nice work..take care my friend 👍 👍👍👍👍

      @@TestDriverRC no. Leave referring to those watching out completely. Sounds far more professional than saying “guys” every other word. That, or if you have to refer to those watching, use a different word each time. I see too many content creators repetitively using “guys” to refer to those watching and it is not only annoying, but makes you sound uneducated. Expand your vocabulary past “guys”. There are tons of other words: ya’ll, folks, everyone, people, etc., etc. it just seems to me that too many content creators over use “guys”. It’s lazy. That’s all. Constructive criticism.
