JB is a great guy! I cant recommend him enough. I wasn't able to race this year like I thought I would but he helped me out big time. When JB says he helps people he absolutely does!
Jeremy I greatly appreciate that! I do try my best to help when I can. Thank you very much for the support and kind words. Hope we get to race together soon or in 2022.
Fierce Fighting Robots I appreciate the comment and support! Trust me I can totally understand how that can be. My notes and sheets can get like that too. The best advice I could give there is categorize the notebook, have your setup and tuning notes in one sections, your written notes in another and if your setup sheets becaome chaotic with lots of writing create a new updated one with the added notes to it. I have to rewrite some of my setup sheets over time as well for this very reason. Thank you again and best of luck in all your RC adventures.
Thanks for the video. I'm 3 years in and my daughter's first season. Glad you made this hard to find videos that don't focus on just one thing. Love to see more whole program videos or maybe practice techniques.
Rayadkins, I greatly appreciate the comment and support. Super happy to hear you are enjoying the hobby and channel, especially with your family. Thank you for the feedback, I'll definitely look into this upon my return.
My first year oval racing and all ready have learned a lot from your videos. Another awesome video to help us newbies out and I for one really appreciate what you do, now I just need to put this information into motion. Keep up the good work and God bless.
Anthony Mccarty I greatly appreciate your support and kind words. Its awesome hearing from people that find my videos helpful. That's what I try to do, help, promote, entertain and have fun. Best of luck to you in your RC racing adventures.
Thanks for the tips. Very useful for someone like me who is finding that there's so much to keep track of on a race day. Your tip of getting to practice days are critical to getting familiar with the track setting and the gear needed. It also gets you driving in traffic and used to that
Mayur, I'm happy to hear you found the video helpful. I also agree with your points as well. Thank you for the support and best of luck to you in all your RC adventures.
Thanks JB! I can agree with being packed up and ready to go on race day. I have procrastinated several times throughout the week then come race day and talk myself out of going because I have x, y and z to do before I’m ready.
Thank you for the comment and support Low aSteam. Preparation always makes a difference. We've all been there. I've been in the same boat especially with a busy schedule like mine lol. But the more prepared the better.
GWT181 I greatly appreciate the kind words and support! That's awesome I want to give the 1/5 scales a try some day. I have a couple friends that rave them. Maybe I can wheel one soon enough.
Great tips here. I didn't race much this year but travelled up to Ohio to race 12th scale onroad with some friends at the Halloween Classic. I built a new car for one of the classes but it didn't pass tech for axle width or weight and I lost a lot of track time getting the cars set up, all of which could have been done ahead of time before the trip.
Rick Smith thank you for the support! I'm wanting to give on road a try again as well. May give VTA a go some after Christmas. We shall see. Sorry to hear of the tech troubles. We've all been there lol.
Great video, this is a very helpful video that I needed, we race on sand so alot of videos don't help but this video was very helpful, I also would like more info on the notebook and set up sheet. Thanks for your dedication to us newbies. Dave in florida
Awesome to hear Dave and I'm super happy you found the video helpful. That is what the channel was created for. What specifically would you like to know and I'll help point you in the right direction
@@jbtricklerc what info you keep permanent or temporary, do you record everything you rebuild anything, etc. The notebook could get really big if you kept all the notes
@@davelyons9672 great question. Once I found a baseline setup that I stuck with I had the setup sheet for that. then I'd take notes of what changes I made that night and several variables go into play. Track surface notes, was it high bite, wet, slick, dry etc. Note what changes were made and if they helped or not. You'll end up with several pages, but you'll end up reviewing them more over time. Just note everything neatly and organized that way you are not hunting information for too long.
@@MrKuztumpainterz that's awesome! I've got some more Slash based videos planned for the near future as well. Thank you again and best of luck at your next race!
Mearamack thank you for the support and comment. I hope you find the information helpful. Putting together a good race program will definitely help you improve. I plan on doing more videos like this in the future as well. Best of luck to you and your nephew! Stick with it and you'll get it figured out.
@@jbtricklerc I used to race a lot a decade ago and can't believe how much I have forgotten. A gear ratio and rollout video or in a video could be helpful.
@@gfyracing7632 Thank you for the suggestion and that would be a great video for sure! I'll add that to my list of episodes to do. Thank you again for the support and comments. I greatly appreciate it.
I can understand forgetting things for sure lol. It's like anything. If you stop doing it and start back you remember some things and others not so much lol.
Thank you Black Bison. I include the Murfdogg basic setup and tuning guide that I mentioned. Amy other basic setup and tuning guides you can print or already have noted. Then notes from each track. Prep used. Track condition. Temperature. Etc. Any changes that you made that day. Also setup sheets. Depending on the car you are running you can find setup sheets online from most manufacturer websites.
@@justgonnatruckit1127 Wheww All of it would be hard. there are so many car manufactures out there lol. But if you tell me the patform car you are running I'll be happy to link you to the setup sheet for your car. Other than the manufacturer setup sheet, all other notes I take I typically just write down in my racer notebook. Unless I'm misunderstanding your spec sheet comment. I'll be happy to help. Just need a couple more specifics.

Clear and helpful information. I would like some tips on organising a notebook and using setup sheets. Mine all get chaotic after 2 races.

Good idea with marking tyres , I always do that and also mark the compound aswell
Steven thank you for the comment and support. Absolutely I agree 100% about marking compound as well.
This will help out many, great video. I'm from Karts to 5th scale and this applies to any racing. Homework allows you to focus on race day. 👍
GWT181 I greatly appreciate the kind words and support! That's awesome I want to give the 1/5 scales a try some day. I have a couple friends that rave them. Maybe I can wheel one soon enough.
Great video man. Thanks
Glad you liked it!
Thanks
The most important thing in racing, don't wreck and don't break the car. Slow is smooth, and smooth is fast.

Ok I’m interested in the notebook. I thought about starting one when I started but never did, what all do you include in it?

👊👊👊👊👊
I appreciate it BigHead RC!
I geared slower for consistency and won more races than the faster cars as they were fast and wrecking constantly
BC absolutely. Consistency is always key. So is staying out of trouble but that's hard to do at some races lol
A link to the spec sheets would be nice if you have 1
Peter which one particular and I'd be happy to help you out.
@@jbtricklerc all of it preferably. I just started racing and race 3 dif tracks so anyway to keep better track of things would help!
