NET: I have won a few world championships in VRC offroad. I don't race much due to time but I still know a few tricks. First, on your setup, you only need 37 degrees at most for SPEC except for 2 tracks and Buenos is not one of them. Second, you have to be aggressive with the throttle once straight. Some people change to "CURVE" in their radio as much as 25% and in nitro, even more. If you send me a friends list, I will send you the winning cars setup for that race.
The game lets you gear up way more aggressively than you could in real life without overheating. Also you could lower your ride height to touring car levels without worrying.
one of the biggest things i've done to help my speeds get faster is to actually set the drag brake to 4 or around 20% (you get two options depending on your setup). Try that and just letting off throttle going into corners and let it do the braking for you, i find since it only drags brake it keeps the car more planted. plus you can get on/off throttle faster because of reduced travel throw.
@@netcruzer you bet! great videos, keep them coming! I actually bought a Losi Tenacity DB based on your review, i have some great mods for it if youre ever interested :-)
I like using 1 or 2 for drag brake but anything over that effects the front end too much while your in the air, it will nose dive a lot. I think running higher drag brake on tight tracks with a lot of 180 turns is really helpful
My usb adapter for my transmitter should be here today so I can start using VRC! Are there any suspension adjustments you can make as well to help with the fish tailing? Was wondering if changing shock oil would help give you a bit more traction. Can't wait to check this out!
You can adjust all that on mod but spec buggy is locked out so everyone has that same fish tail handling. Only things you can adjust on spec buggy is what I showed. Rest is greyed out for everyone to have same setup.
Great video and thanks for posting. I spent hours today trying to perfect my setup on this track. The fastest I could go was mid 44's but not consistent enough. I was wondering what your brakes are set at? Turn 2 is difficult for me to be consistent
@@netcruzer thanks for the info. i just found out you can change your tires and that has knocked almost a second off my lap times. what is your favorite tire on this track?
Not sure if they made it slower but what made me faster is actually setting up the car to slide around every corner so I could get more mid corner speed
Man, I am not good at VRC Pro. Just bought it 2 days ago, so I can't expect to be middle of the pack right away, though I am ok at RC driving IRL so I kinda thought that would give me more of a leg up than what I'm seeing. My $450 laptop from 2012 can only seem to run the game smoothly on the lowest settings, which I wouldn't expect to be a disadvantage since it can hold 60 fps like that, but the one thing I've considered might have some influence to the driver's sensory inputs is the shadows. Turning shadows on bogs my laptop down heavily, but I'm not sure if I'd drive any better if I could turn them on.
Speed , consistency and hitting the points. Work on it. I’m on now and again addicted to it. Thanks for getting me excited again with vrc. R u paid. Is that better I’m pondering weather to pay What do u think.
So dumb question... How does one customize controller settings? I've tried everything I could think of once I'm in the controller customization screen, but the best I've been able to achieve is to have "X axis -" appear in whatever value field I click. It's coming up with throttle and steering channels reversed by default. I suppose I could program a custom model into my radio with CH1 and CH2 swapped, but theoretically it should be easier to change in game, lol. Also, can anyone fill me in on how Steam fits into this picture? I downloaded VRC Pro after learning of its existence when I decided to see if an RC car simulator worth checking out might exist in 2020. I went to the main website for the game, and it's billed as "free to play", but a few glances around the screens resulted in a "Yeah, not really." impression pretty quick. It looked like by paying just shy of 50 euros, you'd get access to, if not most to all of the content, at least plenty to keep one entertained a while, for 6 months. So I'm assuming it's a monthly membership licensing model. Shortly thereafter, I realized it's also available on steam, with the price for the base package appearing to be ~$18.00 and it looked like tons of DLC at about $5 a pop, which appeared to be a car or track each. So can you choose one time payment on Steam, but then have to buy any DLC you want separately vs. the monthly fee directly to VRC World giving you access to a lot more but only as long as you maintain the membership? Or is going through Steam effectively just paying for the convenience of using Steam, but you still have to pay VRC World monthly? I hope this doesn't turn out to drain your wallet more effectively than the real thing. 😉
Steam purchase results in lifetime access to any content you purchase, no subscription through Steam at all, I got the summer sale and bought the complete bundles, then added what was left, just over 100 USD for the whole package, for life
I can’t figure out how you are getting 44 second laps. No matter what I try I cant get a lap faster than 48 seconds and can’t think of anywhere to pick up 4 seconds. I bet I have logged a thousand laps in this track just to try and match your time.

VRC is hard. It doesn't 100% depict real life. You're still good man! These VRC races could be cool. All walks of life on there lol

Yeah seems impossible to overheat the motor at max gearing
Dude I’m glad your so honest and that this poped up in my feed, i was on today and had a bad run argh soo frustrating 😂

Great tip, I’ll try it. Thanks!

If you need help with setup or track lines please feel free to ask. You can message me in our group message or PM. Dan
Some nice driving there John! Looks slippery!
Very dry!
Thats a fun but slippery track. Good luck 👍
Great information and cool game

video cool, interesting story, like my friend👍🔥🤘
Are you still using a traxxas radio? They are tough to race consistently with.
For VRC I am just using traxxas radio. I’ve got steering expo on it that’s about it.
Great video and thanks for posting. I spent hours today trying to perfect my setup on this track. The fastest I could go was mid 44's but not consistent enough. I was wondering what your brakes are set at? Turn 2 is difficult for me to be consistent
I had 80% for this video but then used 30% for my mains. It upsets the car less and had higher cornering speed.
@@netcruzer thanks for the info. i just found out you can change your tires and that has knocked almost a second off my lap times. what is your favorite tire on this track?
I remember getting a 42.9 on this track years ago

Anyone have tips on how to get better control in the game. Steering feels weird
can you maybe help me i can't participate in multiplayer sessions anymore. I always get the error code 1002

I bought the off-road and onroad complete packages on steam.
Did you get vrc from steam or did you get a license from the vrc website?
Steam
Netcruzer RC TECH CARS thanks just downloaded the off-road bundle. Way better deal than on the vrc website
editor track vrc??

This is one game/ simulator i want..
Nice Video!! 👍Are you doing this of a Mac?
No you need windows for this.
@@netcruzer Thanks for responding! I almost downloaded this on my Mac-book Air! I clearly know nothing about computers 😂Keep up the cool content. 👍👍
Does this actually help you improve in real life?
I am wondering to gotta practise for ens next year
These are running in reverse. We run left too right
His motor is geared for lower top end than yours. That's how he makes his time

Your top speed looks lower play with your gearing. Changing that may change your drive train feel front and rear diff’s
Your gearing is off...
