  1. Blimey I see old Talbot earns between 40k a year to £620k mind you looks a bit naughty as he claims it’s a US channel 😂9-A6758-CD-1-A5-A-4-FA1-862-C-41-F5-D146

      It's usa based because Google is usa based... 

       

      Like anyone monetized on YT... he pays third party usa tax rates on his earnings that's automatically deducted before he receives his payments.... it goes straight to the US based irs..  so anyone making Coin on youtube is a US taxpayer 

       

      And like most youtubers... his largest audience will be usa based  too

      Yes froggy...I saw the gov uk website...it actually says my car may be compatible....but after trying it with 20 quid worth...I can most certainly say its not..

       

      Mercedes advice differs for my engine ....regardless of model...gov uk lists model only I noticed...which is a bit of a misnomer for mine as its the early release of that model that subsequently used the older m112 90° v6...

       

      So unfortunately I cant really trust the gov uk site ...and of course they shouldn't be expected to have in depth knowledge of such for each and every car...but surely then they shouldn't put a list up in the first place....🤣....

       

      Ho hum....I've been looking at xtrail 2.2 dci recently..but I dont think they're really for me after getting in one in the flesh...

      Monetized platforms...Insta, Facebook, tiktok, only fans....there loads these days...but all have different thresholds to meet before monetization is activated

      Exactly that...youtube are the worst for withholding revenue...

       

      Did you also know they take 45 percent of a tubers earnings even when they're paying...that's their rate...

       

      Well he did mention numerous times about having to be careful NOT to have his kid moe in anymore videos...

       

      They still allow you to monetize if kids are in your videos...but...they won't let you run personalised ads...just generic ads..so much less revenue overall...

      Youtube recently revised their monetization rules which states..."if a channel stops uploading...After 6 months of dead space...they will de-monetize said channel..."

  15. Service due on the motor. 2 and a half years old, just over 20K miles and they tell me it needs spark plugs.  Seriously - last petrol car I owned had em changed every 60k miles with a gap check/ adjustment every service.  Madness

  16. First off i use to buy and sell on ebay.   But now prices on RC is insane  so im wondering if people are really paying over the top to try and sell on some other place  or are people buying it to keep and hope it will be worth tons in a few years time.   A lot of the time you can get it from a shop/new for less.   I have even watched bulk lots sell for silly money  that even if you worked out each item fully running/working  it is sometimes less than the bulk price.

      Yes I've seen the recent rise in the used market... Started about last April and continued to grow... I mean... I've watched the peaks and troughs of the hobby market keenly over the years... The seasonal rise and fall... The popularity rise and fall... 

       

      I think its largely down to an excess in demand from new hobbysists... Combined with recent global events pushing new items out of stock gradually... Used items have seen a significant increase in value overall. 

       

      It's always a double edged sword... A sellers market isn't a buyers market... Unfortunately that works both ways for a trader... Who naturally needs more stock after selling stock... 

       

      Cest la vie.... 

       

      In a year or two.... The popularity will have wained and prices will normalise before the backside drops out the market again and prices eventually plummet....

      I'd be happy with anything around 50mph... I'm using a few speedo apps running simultaneously so I know it won't be accurate per say, just a ballpark number. 

       

      Spec;

      1650kv 4092

      6s

      21/46 at the centre

      Diffs at either end are quite short
