Good finds your not a knuckle head because you forget to mention something in your videos I always forget to do stuff in mine until I made a script for myself.
@megacomicbooknerd Sometimes, I make a little script to make sure that I cover points that I want to discuss. Otherwise, I would rather just go with the flow so it sounds natural.
@Rcdriftnmore Unfortunately, the days of models having opening features in the $1 range are limited. Especially if Mattel can make more money with them by moving the tools for use in the adult range, $3 and up. They make more profit that way.
@MongooseBikeRacer I try to keep my videos 3-5 minutes so that I don't take up too much of your time. I know that lately, I had quite a few that were rather long but in those cases, I thought that it was important to present the information that way.
@MongooseBikeRacer You don't want my help. It takes me TWO hours to upload a 5 minute video! When I was in Las Vegas last month, I used the hotel's internet and it was SOOPER DOOPER FAST! I up;loaded my 12 minute Possum video in less than 15 minutes!
I remember when thi car came out even my dad who doesn't collect bought one! He had a 56 ford truck for his first vehicle. He got me one two. His stayed in the pack and still is today, I ripped mine open and within two weeks it was victim to the hammer in my accident scene while playing cops and robbers. At first I ripped the hood off. I regretted it later and still don't have one today. If only they put the original deco and paint on the re-casted version!!
@z1546796 That's a cool story! As I went to bed this morning, I was thinking the same thing. It would be nice if they would re-release it with the original logo!
@CorvairGuy69 As I went to bed this morning, I thought that I should have looked for other changes as well. I was just focused on the hood. I will be a bit more thorough next time - Thanks!
I noticed that as well! The Garage series HW's has the opening hood but the basic is sealed. For some reason, I always passed on those models. I'll have to give them a second look.
@DaddyIvo Mattel has been removing opening features from the basics. It has really escalated the last couple years. They say that it is to contain costs in the $1 line but I think that it is more a marketing decision to really distinguish the basics from the adult collectibles. If you want a metal base and body or opening features, they want you to spend $3 and up.
I have a question Racegrooves how do u record ur vids on a regular cam and upload the vids if u r using a SD card on it ? Because I want to use my camera out side instead of using my phone. PLEASE HELP ME !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
@Rhodey360 If you're using an SD card, does your camera have a program for the computer? If it does just save the vid from the program onto your computer and then when uploading just find it. If you don't have a program to view the video, you might need a USB Card reader. I've got a Targus card reader I found at a walmart, right next to where they sell SD Cards. What it does is just plug in the card to your computer, but through USB, and shows you a file of all it's contents.
@Mattecarshop thanks alot now that I think of it y cam did come with a disc for installation thing good thing I still have the box !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! lol
@Rhodey360 You camera may have came with a cable to connect to the computer. As Mattecarshop mentioned, you can also buy a card reader to take your SD card out of your phone and get the information off of your card. I would recommend buying a multi-card reader so that you can use several types of cards in the future. As for the computer program, check your Microsoft folders for Movie Maker. I use Pinnacle Studio but Movie Maker does the same thing.
Just bought the Fast Felion (not Felon!!!!),today. Awesome Track Star, but intended to buy the Rocket Fire uh long story :)
