I already subscribed to several RC-related Youtube channels, but I am wondering if I missed a few.

What I am looking for:
- Bashing videos in nice spots, with nice driving.
- Wrenching tips
- RC cars customization, upgrades, Frankencars, etc.
- Technical reports on bashers, high-end race kits, etc.
- RC cars review

What I am not looking for:
- Non-stop shenanigans and crazyness (RC is serious business, yo! ;) )
- RC car destruction just for the fun of it.
- Crawlers, speed runners, scale, boats, planes (all very cool, but I am not into these)

My favorite channels are:
- RC Dude81
- Rich Duperbash
- Razor RC
- TP-Parts RC-Xtreme
- Aussie RC Playground
- bicketybam
- RCDriver_Online
- 3Sons RC
- East Tactics
- Bournemouth RC
- Netcruzer (just found it this morning with a post from @Outcastblxnut )

Do you have other recommendations along those lines? I tried finding some more and it's really hit or miss.

Thanks!
 
I find Kevin Talbot quite entertaining, don't shout about it in here though or you will get crucified :LOL:

Thanks! Yes, I watch some of KT's videos from time to time. He is indeed entertaining, but I am not a big fan of his style. He reminds me of the crazy Youtubers my son watches all the time and there's enough of that in my life already! ;)

I respect his success, but I guess I am not part of his target demographic. ?

What information are you trying to get from all these channels and even more channels you requested?
 
What information are you trying to get from all these channels and even more channels you requested?

Mainly technical information, insights and reviews. For example, I like cars unboxing where they go beyond the specs and they provide insight on what to expect with this car, like what Aussie RC PG and Razor RC is providing. I am also still fairly new to the hobby (a bit less than a year). I have consumed A LOT of information already and I am now familiar with pretty much everything about the Arrma 3S and 6S line. I can take them apart completely and fix pretty much everything. I love watching technical and wrenching videos on these, but now that I am familiar with them, I like watching such videos on other brands like TLR, TA, Tekno, Traxxas, etc.

I just love technology that is accessible. Several years ago, I used to love F1 tech, but got bored by the fact that I cannot really get in touch with it. I then turned into mountain bikes, for which I used to know pretty much everything. Now, everything about bikes got super expensive and there are so many standards that nothing is compatible anymore and a lot of wrenching requires expensive proprietary tools. I also got a BMX phase that was fun for the upgrading part, but BMX bikes are too simple and reliable. Now that my BMX is fully dialed, there's nothing else to do on it except riding.

I still love riding mountain bikes, but the wrenching is not as interesting as it used to be and they don't break as much anymore. I'd say wrenching and tinkering on RC cars is somewhat similar to what it was for mountain bikes in the early 2000. Everything was compatible and it was breaking all the time. :)

I just started doing YT and i'm not sure if my content is exactly what you are looking for, I do break things, but not necessarily on purpose. I'm not anywhere as big as the other channels mentioned above but am having fun with it. Its primarily my outcast 8s, but I do have a mojave video (will have more soon because it's fixed now) and hope to get my losi scte's going and on the channel sometime soon too.

I am open to suggestions by members on things you would like to see or any general suggestions you have about making my channel better.

Check it out if you are interested.

others I follow not mentioned above are
RC Guy Garage
JayTee RC
Steel City RC
Jason Perrin
MOBAY 876 RC
Jaguars RC Family
 
There are a few reasons I will watch a given channel:

1) RC skills a la @Rich Duperbash @RC DUDE81 @cyrano2040
2) Extreme video skills a la @KiTris ExtremeRC
3) Entertaining personality a la Talbot and others
4) Industry info a la CCxRC, JayTeeRC, RC Driver Online, etc
 
I know you said you didn't like speedrunning stuff but Earl Moorhead is doing stuff with the Infraction/Felony/Limitless platform are quite unique and his build/repair/servicing/setup vids are very detailed.

Innovation RC is also another speed run type channel but he does a lot of product side by side comparison and discussions on pros/cons of them depending on application for stuff like ESCs and motors, radios, etc.
