one thing he said is very very true... use what everyone else has.. its easier to get help, and knowledge when you need it..
Thank you bro, super nervous about getting back to racing. You make it easy.
As a newer guy in the RC world, this channel is a good place to get schooled at.
Excellent video. And you are a well spoken individual. Very soothing voice. Cheers.
Great job!
Excellent video
Very good tips good explained👍
Well done video!
I’m so lazy to start again after the lockdown. Sold 3 of my RCs and just left with one SCT..There is a new 1/10 indoor offroad carpet track has just opened near my home..😁
This video was a good idea in theory, but, like you said, it's a bit of a mammoth task. I usually like your videos but this one feels a little redundant. You touched on everything in here before, usually in a better way too. If I were to guess, you finished the 10th scale part and realized that you just did 95% of the 8th scale part two vids ago but were so deep in already that you kinda half-assed it. At least that's what the contrast in detail and editing is showing.
Some corrections in no particular order:
- The best bang for your buck tools are Wera Hex plus. Not only that, they're the best tools for hex screws period. Sadly they don't come with these cool handles RC tools do, which is why most ppl buy overpriced RC tools instead.
- HB makes 10th scale buggies too, they have been kinda quiet but just released a new lineup of them. They very expensive right now with very little support as of yet so not a beginner's option as of now.
- Sworkz also makes 10th scale buggies, they're great on carpet and have been successful over here in Europe. The US Sworkz guys said they'll start putting more effort into 10th scale soon, so you'll probably see them around more often. Can recommend them once you guys get proper support.
- Mayako will get a few dealers throughout the US, Amain carries them for example. Sworkz is also carried by RC1 Racing and afaik has no exclusivity deals.
- For 8th scale recommendations you strayed away from your usual "buy what's supported locally" take, I don't understand why because the same thing applies here. For example: the Sworkz S35-4, is a very solid rec for a beginner, given you have at least some level of support at your local track. The car works very well on most tracks with a neutral/kit setup, only needing minor tweaks.
- You skipped Tekno (until you started listing off battery compatibility), one of the best supported 8th scale brands in the US right now.
- If you have an 8th scale astroturf track near you, the money aspect basically falls away completely. You have basically zero tire wear, I was at the track basically every other day last season and only ran through 4 sets of tires.
- The MBX8r comes with a battery holder for 4s bricks so it also supports 1 4s brick or two 2s fullsize batteries
- The S35-4e has an adjustable battery tray and will fit a 4s shorty (or two 2s shorties but only with the battery terminals oriented to the front)
And most importantly: Don't ever start with nitro because it'll make electric classes boring :D
Thanks for the corrections.
Edit - Also thanks for the feedback
ditch the balance charger board and plug it straight to the charger balance .. get a blade and trim off one of the pin leg if your charger balance is not a keyed style... this will make it more cleaner and less thing to carry... the balance board is unnecessary thing have and risk of something that can get drop in and causing a short if something touches that open balance
true thats how i done it on my B6 charger to use longer balance cables straight out of the charger for my stick packs and one of the ports with soldered cables to power cables and one lose for balance on my shorty packs.
Thank you saying Tekno!
Carpet 2wd buggy- Losi 22 5.0 ac is what I run.
Don’t have anything around me in north jersey
Sworks makes a 10th scale buggy
Does Loganville race track do SCT racing? I'm going to be doing no prep drag racing but SCT is really what I want to do.
Tbh. 4x4 SCT isn't too popular at Loganville
@@RoachRC I appreciate the reply. Guess I'll be getting a 2WD buggy then.
@@Rek_Rc I'd say if you're gonna run at Loganville, the two big classes are Truggy and 8th scale buggy. 10th scale isn't really run there that often. It is at Columbus tho
@@RoachRC awesome! I really do appreciate that. I've been wanting to get into some level of racing for years instead of just bashing and breaking all my stuff lol.
You’re in the Atlanta area right? Where do people race around there? Any on road racing there?
The closest things to Atlanta would be Loganville RC complex and The Barn RC raceway near Griffin. Other than that there aren't any on road tracks in GA
Unfortunately the closest onroad track i believe would be apex in Murfreesboro TN it’s about 3.5-4 hours from Atlanta. I would love to get back into onroad racing but there’s nowhere to go in the metro area
You didn't mention anger from being wrecked and how to deal with it, it ruins alote of people's fun
Great video! I disagree with one part however, If you are just starting out racing you should absolutely get a 4wd buggy don’t even think about a 2wd until you get some understanding of setup.
That's a fair point. It's a double edged sword. 4wd will be easier to drive and setup, but harder to build and maintain. 2wd will be easier to maintain and build but harder to drive and setup.
As a new RC racer if you can handle two-wheel drive everything else is cake
Nobody starts racing at a legit track with 4wd. Most start with 2wd 21.5 and work their way up from there.
