@@ethanmartinez5339 thank you for all the support the entire weekend. You and your dad made the weekend very memorable for me. Next time I see you, I bet you will be taller than me and schooling me on the track.
Another awesome video. You are showing all these places that mini z track was huge. Showing so many different sides of this crazy hobby we all love. If ok they just opened a mini z track by my house in Bohemia LI NY call Level 454. Hope people show them some support
Use to have mini-z's back in the day. And a track. Didn't think you were allowed to have reverse when you raced. Great channel. Thinking about buying a car again. Cheers from sweden.
I'm getting back in to on road I cant wait to finish my Tamiya TT02 build and I cant wait to start collecting mini zs I originally started racing the RadioShack ones witch is what got me in to the hobby I miss it cant wait to get back in to it.
hey i know Marcus he lived down the street form my grandparents in Houston. He used to have a really fast RX8 (full size car) he would race. i sold him a used turbo years and years ago
It’s going to take more than this hobby shop to keep the landlord from shutting down this mall. It will happen but good luck. I give them high marks for trying. Worth my sub!
I don't have any tracks around me but I love the little cars for some reason even more than the big stuff I've even had 5th scale gasoline. Right now I just bought a axial scx24 and a mini z all wheel drive skyline. If I wanted to race with just my buddies are just make me a homemade track is it better to get the rear engine rear wheel drive or the mid motor rear wheel drive in your opinion?
@@MarkSantaMaria thank you sir that helps save me a ton of money so I don't buy a ton of different ones to find the correct chassis for me. Anytime someone answers like you did I give them a sub because you took the time to answer that means a lot
I thought it was hard to follow those on LiveRC. Those are crazy fast. Cant imagine wrenching on those, they are so small. Was very cool seeing how many were calling you out on the live feed.
You're up around dallas right? I picked up a miniz this week, wouldn't mind coming up that way to race...have recommendations? Marcus is the man btw :P
Mini-Z racing was a whole rabbit hole I’ve been trying to stay out of I tried it early on when kyosho first released them years ago I initially raced it when I still had enough reflexes to be semi competitive with it but it’s become a whole big serious thing since then as shown in your video. That all being said I’m still eventually getting a new one but probably one of the scale 4x4’s or buggies
Have a question for you do some of the races allow some modifications for the RCs so if a person is visually impaired like my self can still race on any type of race off road or mini z race?
Awesome video I enjoy your content what are your thoughts on the controversy for what I am reading they are no longer allowing sponsor drivers at this track
Holy crap how can they afford that much mall space? Even in an end area the price per sf is nuts. I know prices are down from pre-pandemic, but holy crap that’s a lot of cars to sell
Time to upgrade your video gear Mark to get the best footage. Get a 3 axis gimbal to avoid camera shake. Get the Zhiyun Q3. Cheap and bang for the buck. Remember do not buy DJI brand of gimbal. They are freaking expensive. You can get good camera rigs which can do the same job and cheaper. You can track the car with the camera without moving an inch. Check them out.
Jeeze... track that size i could actually unleash my motor fully! Lol. Ive geared it way down but shes still almost too fast. Love that pn 70 turn ball bearings motor. Im the only guy I know who runs lithium on a brushed... lifepo4 batteries are low enough voltage you can run 2s with 2 blank connector batteries without burning your board out and cut a ton of weight while getting the punch of lipo. I do think limiting gearing in any class is absolutely silly. The car and track limit your gearing. Everyone is on equal footing with gears usually.
To add, I run on a living room track, its half the lane size and twisty turny for technical training. I figure when I get on a real racetrack after covid ill start out strong since its basically twice the difficulty to run on..

Thanks for showcasing such a variety of different niches within the hobby.
It was great meeting your Mark. Love your content, keep spreading the RC love!
Nice meeting you too sir! Congrats on an awesome weekend.
Stephen it is Ethan I just wanted to say you did good

@@BuiVision no you will always be faster than me and don’t forget to start bbq
Man.....those mini z are fast! Thanks for showing us this race.

So cool. You have to have some really good depth perception, in addition to mad driving skills, to compete on a track like this.
Yooo mark it is Ethan the champ love the new video and my messy pit area
Hiii Ethan 👋👋 listen there is a method to your madness! We are so thankful for your support and it was awesome pitting next to the champ!!
Hi Melissa

Man Marcus Williams been fast all I’ve known him. Cool dude!
Mark please try to teach us more about the mini z stuff. Just the cars for now.
My son and I are in NC and we are interested in getting these.
That track is insane.
I love the long straight.
Great vid Mark love the race content 👏👍

We loved it! Wish it was closer to home!
Wicked coverage!!! So awesome to see all the different classes and racers!!
How did you and the boys do in the races?
I think we did great based on how prepared we were... hahaha! These were the pinnacle of Mini and Micro racers... it was crazy.
Great video brother!
Yoo this was epic. I never seen a video from you but I'd watch another like this!
Thanks for making this video! Well documented :)
Been into rc since 2010 when I was 10 always drift out and into it but watching your videos always makes me put my car out lol 😂
Dang them things fly. Mark
I'm getting back in to on road I cant wait to finish my Tamiya TT02 build and I cant wait to start collecting mini zs I originally started racing the RadioShack ones witch is what got me in to the hobby I miss it cant wait to get back in to it.
Excellent video bro🔥🔥

So awesome l live in Calgary l want this kind of club here you guys are so lucky new sub

It seems as mid motor is the way to go these days.

I just raced with Stephen this weekend. Crazy fast!
If I know you where in San Antonio I would of came to meet you
Bought a mini z from Japan, good news is it’ll be here before Christmas lol
One day I'll make it out that way to race. Looks like a great track!
I thought it was hard to follow those on LiveRC. Those are crazy fast. Cant imagine wrenching on those, they are so small. Was very cool seeing how many were calling you out on the live feed.
Its great to see the love on LiveRC... THANKS!
The laser focus is insane! I would lose track of my car, real quick!
This my home track and got to meet you guys. It was a great event.
Where is this mall/track located
@@Hyperr2K it is the Rolling Oaks Mall in San Antonio texas
@@freedom4all219 ok ty
Wow....look like slot cars...are they using gyros in these cars...insanely fast..😊
Very nice amigo
Hello Mark
Greetings from Indonesia👋
👋👋
What’s “OTT” stand for? Just noticed the change in channel name.
Yikes! There must've been an update. It stands for On The Tone!
Over the top
Superb👌👏
Great video
Love the z content!

This is soo awesome. I absolutely loved it. SHIT!!! I am in the wrong country.
Mark what is the next off road race you are going to
Not sure... I planned on working on my schedule this weekend!
@@MarkSantaMaria thanks mark once again great video
OMG I LIVE NEAR THAT MALL!!!!!!!!!
You should go, if you haven't!!
Nice track
I need to try mini z racing
Darn. Wish I could've been there 😔
Glad you made it out dude....we need to get you into a faster car though
Yeah... I basically brought a knives to a gun fight... my poor boys were out matched in stock
box stock is production class
Do you lock the diffs on these levels of racing? Or is it still slip diff?
Nice video
Just got my first mini z today
Nice cars
Have a question for you do some of the races allow some modifications for the RCs so if a person is visually impaired like my self can still race on any type of race off road or mini z race?
Im sure they would but i havent seen it yet. The community is great and will typically accommodate.
@@MarkSantaMaria thanks man my wife and I were talking about it. Of me starting the racing era!
Love MiniZ. Quick trick that i use. Detailers spray wax on your body. Makes it super slick, and helps you "ride" the rails
That’s right down the street from me.
I didn't know they were so fast? Is that just because they are on carpet? 😊 👍
Forgot to ask where is this mall?
How do I get a hold of Moe,I live in Houston and want to do some racing
Awesome video I enjoy your content what are your thoughts on the controversy for what I am reading they are no longer allowing sponsor drivers at this track
This track is RCHQ... the controversy you're talking about is a different track.
Man I wish I was there to meet you 😔 I was supposed to be there but didn't make day 2 and 3
I'll be at more event down there soon ;)
Could a xmods run in the race
Holy crap how can they afford that much mall space? Even in an end area the price per sf is nuts. I know prices are down from pre-pandemic, but holy crap that’s a lot of cars to sell
