Hi there. Oh yeah it's not glamorous getting the shots but does look good to get the low down view of the car. Yes it has been a while since I did a run video on the grass like this. Good to get back to it and many thanks for your great comments as ever. Best wishes to you 😁👍👍

Sacrificing the body for the videos, that's dedication! These are super cool cars and it does look like a bunch of fun out there.

Yeah it wasn't quite the plan but these things happen 😩 My leg is healing up nicely and it gave me a funny thing to put in the video 😂 Many thanks for watching Addam. Best wishes 😁

I normally don't mind being in a bush 😂. Front footage is a challenge. Always grateful to you for sharing how you recorded thenlow down footage, the beetle in the woods video from a while back is a favourite of mine. (Blitzer if Inremeber correctly). Cool bug, Dom done annice job on this one. Hope you are all healed up now Pete 👍🏻

Hiya Damian. Oh yes I do try to include something that sounds a bit rude, tee hee. Well it was Matteo that told me about the camera on a stick thing so he did us all a favour. Certainly much easier to do now with the excellent image stabilisation. Yes getting shots of the front of the car still a bit tricky to do without your feet getting in shot or running into a bush 😂 Cheers for watching mate. Best wishes 😁👍

Great, Pete, thanks for the behind the scenes and "How to" for a proper run video! I have to admit, I haven't ever tried doing that, I would probably run into something right away also... Battle scars, that's what it's called, ha ha... I think you're right, that little bug is just fine without the crazy speeds. And it looks great, DOM did a good job on it!

Hi there. Oh yeah I am intending to do a video just about how I video the cars but as with everything I haven't quite got round to it. I'm normally ok with running with the cars but it's getting the shot of the front of them that is tricky. Yes a few battle scars this time and a lesson learned. Many thanks indeed for your great feedback. Much appreciated 😁👍

Dedicated to the hobby, with the scars to prove it ! This is a cool little bug, can’t believe the roof rack stayed on !

Hi there. Yeah no pain no gain as they say. You know I tried to get the roof rack off to lower the centre of gravity but even with the nuts taken off I can't shift it so I guess it's staying! Many thanks indeed for watching 😁👍

Happy Friday, Pete! OUCH, that leg looks like a real pain in the... well, leg! Nasty! But the video was great so as they say, no pain, no gain! 😅😅 Yeah the little Bug seemed to enjoy the grass and the dirt, more fun on the loose stuff I think where you were getting it sliding and drifting. Just a couple of jumps thrown in, too!!! Anyway mate, you ain't 60 yet so I'm amazed to hear you say it was fun with the stock motor, I think you're losing it mate!!! 🤣🤣 But seriously, I agree, these little rally cars are a complete blast if you run them on the right terrain and no need to run at 30+ mph to have a good time! Enjoy your weekend, all the best - cheers! 🍻🍻😎👍

Hiya Mark. Ha yeah it was a bit of a shock when it happened. What a knob I must have looked 😂 Luckily only some horses saw me. Oh yes I thought that people would expect me to say it needs brushless but I think it would be a bit much for this. Sport tuned would be good so I might do that. I did try to get the roof rack off to give it a lower centre of gravity but it won't budge, even with the nuts off (😂) so I guess it's staying. I also got a Ford Escort body from Dom but it needs finishing so that can be the low c of g one. Some friends are getting M chassis cars so be good to have some races with these. The weather is actually looking good today and tomorrow so out for drink at a new bar they have got down on the sea front and RC'ing tomorrow. Hope you are having a good one too. Best wishes mate 😁👍

Ouch Pete!! The dedication to the shot pal 🙌🏻 Great footage of a cool model! Must have been one of Dom’s due to the camel yellow 😁 Love the way it took those jumps 😎

I heard the holes in Crocs are to slowly let your dignity drain away! Good agility from you though! I have the Torque tuned in mine but it mainly drives along streets so it needs a it of poke when a double decker bus is swinging in 👍

Ha, that's a good one about the Crocs 🤣 I've got to the age where practicality wins over fashion. Your rally beetle is quite famous and is one of the reasons I went for this. Just simple lowish speed RC fun. Many thanks indeed for watching. Much appreciated 😁👍

Chicks dig scares! lol great looking bug.

It's normal for a man to trip over a bush... No worries there mate.. I agree 100%, Not every car needs to be super fast to be super fun.. Great video Pete!!!!!

Hiya Bob. Oh yes I've come a cropper chasing these things before but this was the worst! Oh well all healed up now. Yeah these little cars run well on the standard motor. Would be rolling over all the time with brushless I reckon. Many thanks indeed for watching my friend. Much appreciated 😁👍

The things we do to get a good shot. We should make a collaboration video of all the filming injuries we sustain whilst chasing Tamiya's around. Lol!

You won't be thinking it's fast enough now that Fil has announced that the mf-01x is this year's speed run chassis!! 🤣🤣

G’day Pete, new viewer watching for the first time and now a subscriber. Yes this car and all Tamiya cars need an upgrade from the silver can motors, my pick is a 15 to 21 turn brushed motor, any brand. Love the show, thanks Pete. 🤓

@PeteWylieRC

9 ай бұрын

Hi there and many thanks for the sub 😁 Yeah a little upgrade on this might be good but I don't think it needs the brushless set that I normally put in my Tamiyas. Be great to race a few of these M chassis cars together because they are a manageable speed for my slow brain. Thanks again for your great feedback 😁👍

Oh the joys of the New Forest gorse bushes mate!! 🤣 Prickley stuff that, and I seem to remember the Heather wasn't that kind to your ankles either (although it always looked gorgeous in that sea of pink/purple in August /September) I wasn't aware that bug could fly so well..... I don't think I ever saw Dom get it off the ground quite like that!!🤣 I think the silver can works well in this case, perhaps a sports tuned at tops..... any more and the damages will start racking up mate. Cool/fun looking little car though Pete! Hope your injuries are healing up OK, you certainly know how to get some great action shots fella! 😊 👍 👍 👍

Hiya mate. Oh yes nature is lovely but it can be a bit painful 😣 I did look at Dom's video of this again and I think it's more classy than mine but I did get it off the ground a lot more 🤣 I might see how a 15 turn motor is in this but the usual brushless set would be OTT I think. A couple of friends are getting some M chassis cars so will be great to race them together. Cheers for watching and your great feedback as ever. Best wishes to you 😁👍👍

Hiya John. Well if you are now the six million dollar man then you should be able to sprint alongside cars going 60mph! Seriously though I hope they are ok and you can get around at a reasonable speed. My legs are mainly healed up now and I've learnt a valuable lesson about looking where I'm going 😂 Many thanks indeed for your great feedback. Best wishes to you and yours 😁👍

My kind of run! I loved the jumps. I agree that the silver can is plenty ( depending on how much you want to break and fix it :) Cheers

Hi there. Yeah this is good simple fun although I might be tempted to do a mild upgrade on the motor. It's currently a bit top heavy to go round corners any faster and I can't get that roof rack off 😂 Many thanks indeed for watching 😁👍

I'd be more concerned about running through pony poo. Especially with Crocs! 🤢Nice Beetle 🙂👍🏼👍🏼

Oh yeah that is also a constant hazard in the forest but at least the ponies keep the grass short, even if they do recycle it in little piles everywhere. Thanks for watching Derek. Best wishes 👍

Hiya Dom. Yeah I'm happy with this little RC. Always cool to have a Beetle racing about. I was looking at your video of it and it's more classy than mine but I get it into the air more often 😂 The bush did seem fine after the event. I'm not sure what it is but it was very spikey!

Could this mf01x beetle compete against a tt01 in a rally competition?

@@joeljoel12428 Yeah I think so. TT-01 is a bit bigger but both quite agile. TT-02 probably better for rally as you can have a higher ride height. XV-01 even better. Thanks for watching 😁
