    What makes Popalong different and better than most channels, whilst bouncing off each other, you promote the hobby. It's not carbon copy's of most RC channels. Their isn't a pop-a-long copy. Keep up the top work and content. Be great to meet you some time

    Please, please get a portable audio recorder, a couple of Lav mics for the two of you and a mic to interview people with. Audio is SO important for RUclips, and improving it for your "out-side-broadcasts" would be a real step-up. You seem to be in it for the long haul, so it would be a worthwhile investment. Really looking forward to your 2024 plans. 👍

    Colchester has no hobby shops anymore. It crazy as i have two Rc tracks here which I haven't been to yet lol.
    We need more little offroad track events where people can just come along and race whatever they bring. It's all about fun at the end of the day.
    I find myself over the park with my MT10 on my own lol 😂

    I hope you have a happy and healthy new year. Congratulations on reaching 10,000 subscribers. You should feel good about growing your channel. In my opinion if you want to grow your channel and racing I would suggest you find the place where kids are racing. I think the coverage of the truck or Eurotruck racing is great because it less expensive to get into. I have seen many people show up at a track and they ask about racing. Someone tells them about their touring car or buggy with the latest updates, electronics and batteries. They walk away and say that's too expensive. In my opinion tracks need to offer classes for cars or trucks that are less expensive and can be taken home and run in the street or back yard.

    Keep up the good work guys. Only found you after your Rug Racers video, frontie is definitely a class to come and try. It is some of the closest racing I have ever been involved with. The cars look realistic too, no racing blobs. And with the rule setup it's simple to be competitive once you have a setup that works. Come join! 👍👍👌

    Racing can be cheap and popular. If race organizers had the stones to stand up to racers, they could mandate cars that are affordable. They could prohibit one-race tires, absurdly-expensive electronics and batteries, and ban the harmful chemicals. If the cars needed to race were the same ones that are fun to drive outside, in the neighborhood, racing would be accessible to the normal RC enthusiast, not some weird, expensive, exclusive, and remote activity separated from 98% of the RC public.
    Look at the most popular sports in the world, and see how they remain constant. They aren't reinventing the football or the pitch to meet the demands of the players.
    You'd lose some racers, for sure. Insecurity is a hell of a drug, and competing on a level playing field is scary. Eventually, most of them will see the benefits, and realize it can be fun to compete on merit. They might even enjoy having a few quid left in their pocket, too. And far more people could be involved.
