Hey everyone on TC! Long time no see! I'd reduced my time on TC a few years back because I was working/tired all the time so, after a couple of years of 'lurking' on here, I find myself going back to an idea I'd had back in 2010 of making a YouTube RC video show/blog/thing. I'd never really given up on the RC hobby (probably never will) so doing vids about my builds was what the main idea was about. The only problem is that I really don't know anything about doing the whole YouTube thing. As some of us on TC do vids regularly I'm hoping people can chime in on how to build a YT channel. I'm going to be doing builds so that's not the most exciting thing ever but I'm hoping that I can avoid making the show too boring to watch so any pointers about avoiding 'boring-ness' will be appreciated. If anyone has advice on setting up their room as a 'studio' that's also be appreciated. For filming I have 3 small 1080p camcorders to capture multiple angles. They're all the same model, and they're old models for sure, but they were cheap and film pretty well. My initial idea was to have one cam for me, one for my desk and one for close up shots of whatever I'm building. Each camera has time lapse capability but no slow-mo. I do have a small selection of small tripods to stand them on my desk and only one large enough to stand on the floor. For lighting I have 2 small spot lamps that can add a lot of light (they're blindingly bright) although I don't have anything to diffuse or reflect at this moment. My window is semi-blocked by equipment at the moment so natural light shouldn't be too much of an issue. For sound recording I've got a small lavalier mic setup but that only attaches to my phone or my laptop so I don't have any other decent way of recording sound at the moment. The camcorders don't have a mic input on them. For editing I have no clue as to what programs to use. When I did my first few vids back in 2010/11 I had access to Windows Movie Maker which was free and did a decent enough job but now, in 2024, that program no longer exists. I can't fork out the money for Adobe (as good as I hear it is) so if anyone has any recommendations for free software that'd handle the task of A/V editing that's be great. For Content... Obviously I'm going to be doing vids about my RC builds, as I'd stated earlier, but what exactly about the builds would everyone like to see? How informative would you like the builds to be? Would RC painting vids be welcomed viewing? Are you interested in watching someone fumble around in CAD and/or 3D scanning before 3D printing? Is there any RC related content that isn't in the multitude of RC vids out there that you'd like to see? (or to see attempted in a YT channel) N.B. I don't have an RC track (or access to one) and nowhere really available to run my RCs in safety so action vids will be minimal if any. Lastly... Is it worth setting up a Patreon account right from the beginning? What even is Patreon? Is it better to use than YouTube? Thanks in advance to all who can offer advice and/or tips & tricks on how to get this idea up 'n running. J. P.S. I apologise if this is in the wrong section of TC. Mods - please move if necessary. Many Thanks, J.

I set up a YouTube channel https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCd4dzjaqDhE-DehjnZdkgRw. I have a playlist of Kyosho Mad Force RCX Edition Nitro Monster Truck Videos i made so far this summer and ill doing more all summer long after i get one part i ordered. I also use a Tamiya TXT2 to make vids, it has its own playlist. Maybe some of you will like to watch videos about rare RC trucks being used almost daily thx

The MF01-X turns out to be a very nice chassis. It is super versatile, all these different wheelbases that are possible. As you all might know I love short wheelbased vehilcles, the WR02 is my all time favorite. So I tried the Wild Willy body on the MF01, but it just didn't sit right. So.. as I have put a WW body on my GF01, i had the FJ40 pick-up body lying arround. The wheelbase of that is a bit shorter than the standard MF01 short wheelbase setup, but just shortening a driveshaft is enough to make a shorter than short wheelbased MF01. The fill blocks are easily removed.... So this is what you get when finished..
