The hardest part is reading the manual....

Just took my my Slash out for it's first spin and boy was it great! Got one after randomly stumbling on to one of your videos. After watching 6 more I just had to get one. Real shame I can't visit the shop because I'm from Portugal but thanks for getting me into the hobby!

im here because i appriciate how smart this dude is. his attention to detail is borderline OCD and im saying that in a good way. im only half a year into the hobby. and i thought i figured it all out. and you proved me wrong ! always enjoyed your videos !

First time i brought out my first rc, a traxxas slash, i hit a curb and broke an arm. Second time i hit a curb again and cracked the chassis and bend the centre drive shaft. Now i turned it down to beginner setting and stay far away from curbs lol. There for sure a learning curve to RC fun.

I learned the hard way to not leave batteries plugged in when you're done running. The fire almost burnt down my rc car.

Always love the beginning Introduction music to this AmainHobbies videos.

I was just talking about most of this stuff, just the other day to my kids. My son in particular wants to learn more of the general maintenance, etc. every time, he sees me working on all of our vehicles, and just wants to help.

Loctite 222 is good for plastic, it is specifically designed for plastic I have had to use it on a lot of military equipment when building it at the factory, it is a purple color.

That is so true about parts breaking. I watched all these KZfaqrs try out cars and bash them around skate parks. I assumed I could just run the car out and drive it however I wanted. That is not the case at all. I don't even watch most of these R/C KZfaqrs anymore 'cause I feel like they're full of crap. AMain makes super helpful videos though.

Excellent info. I’m gonna share this with my wife, we’re gonna build scx10iii’s together, as soon as they come off back order. 😉

Finally a new AMain video! Imma watch the whole thing although I'm not a Beginner ;)

You Sir! Are at my 70+ years thinking of getting back into the game. I'm playing catchup and you are a great support. Thank You for helping me spend my retirement money with a smile. hehehehe

Excellent!! Coming from a technical job I could not agree more about READ THE MANUAL. I've always been incredulous about people that simply ignore that advice. Subscribed and looking for the rest of your videos.

These videos are very useful! Thanks Amain!

Awesome! Thank you for these useful tips!!

Breaking things and then fixing is half the fun- love working on my trucks

2:40 after putting tap on the holes. Put 2 holes on the sides. (Inside). It balance the air pressure when racing or doing jumpes. Also good when the tire is not belted (ballooning)

Thanks, great info for us newbies 👍🏻

Great to have you back. Really good video again sir. Entertaining and actionable.

VERY Helpful 5-Star Information. Thank You Soooo MUCH

Great stuff!!! Thank you I just got my first r/c (Rustler VXL 2wd) for Christmas. I’ve basically rebuilt it so far…..😂

Thanks for this video and information. It will help me to upgrade Rc vehicles .

One thing that should be stated is you mentioned it's easy to lose control and crash but if you hit someone with that baby you could break bones and you will be liable. Thank's great info.

Thanks Brett useful imfo. Love my new Bronco from Traxxas just got a metal servo arm but the stock part is fine so far New sub and like CHEERS

AMAIN IS BACK!

Thanks for video. I always learn something new with AMain's videos

Good advice keep the good stuff coming . Thanks

Great information 👍

I run all my cars in sand quite regularly, and I once forgot to cover my tires vent holes. I took them off and weighed them, and then cleaned them and they weighed like 4 pounds each. COVER THE HOLES

What a great educational video Ty

This is great

I have been in this hobby so long that i remember when the r/c controllers weighed 10 lbs. LOL but the only thing i see to say anything about. is the fact of li-po's. I charge mine to full charge. an then i put them in a freezer for long term storage. After that what i do, is i pull them out give a quick top off to warm up the li-po's.I been using li-po's pretty much when they came out. talk about a tricky battery. you had to watch every thing you did cause you could over discharge it. then your out all that money.it has been almost 20 years since they came out to the r/c side of this wonderful hobby. so i talk with some back ground behind me. but when i took them out put a top off on it. then went to race never had an issue with them. about ten years ago i had to get new batteries. as mine finally could not push my cars any more or even my trucks. The one thing all people need to know you will get your moneys worth if you buy right. i buy my batteries from max amps. life time warranty. no questions asked. an i love my Hyperion chargers. never went wrong with the setup i have. but if you get a cheap charger and cheap li-pos you will not get what you want out of them.spend the extra go an get good charger and good batteries. in the end you will be happier to use them and have a longer curve time. an you will find out that the money you spend to the cheap stuff you bought is a big difference. do your research. talk to your r/c friends see what they say. an the hobby will last you a long time.an to all i ended up updating electronics and motors an my guys are still faster then most were the day they came out

EXCELLENT VIDEO !! IM NEW USER RC

COOKIES FOR ROOKIES 👍💯

Thanks good stuff

Im getting a fast rc in a couple of days so this was super helpful

Just got into rc.. week one udric 1603... week 4 armaa big Rock v3... later that Same day, got the sg something something for my son, trying to get knowledge from videos like this

Personally only reason to get the protek drivers is for the long shaft otherwise just get mips they fit a lot tighter almost 0 play when you are using it i got a remplacement protek driver thinking it was just a lemon same thing they look cool and feel amazing in the hand but the hex quality is pretty avg

I'm bout to take my truck to the beach and just installed new foams so thanks for this video 😂 would've sucked having to fuck with the foams again to get sand out I'ma tape them off now

Amazing video

Thanks!

I loooooove your videos ❤❤❤❤❤❤, i have a question though. Is it gonna effect the car performance if we add metal accessory parts to the body, instead of the original plastic parts ?

What is best for more pulling power and torque safe operation and such?

First!!! Looking forward to this one! Want to buy a good RTR (affordable???) to start club racing. Can’t afford otherwise. Shoot, actually second by seconds!!!

Where have ya guys been? It's been a while since you guys posted a vid

👍👍 charging a lipo battery shouldn’t be unsupervised. Use appropriate storage bag/ container should be mentioned.

Cool video

I use lipo standard charge when i know a specific lipo is always balanced no matter what even when discharged and they get all to 4.20v without balance charge sometimes it takes 50% more time to charge the lipo but do balance charge at least after 2-3 cycles

Just saw this, 👍 to everyone at AMain! Watching your video on Radios next... trying to get better slow speed control over my Kyosho Blizzards...

1st step, START with a kit, not only is it fun as heck but it can teach you the fundamentals and physics (how it works) of the hobby. so with that you also well read the entire manual, two birds w/ one stone!!!!!!!!!

Some great tips here! About covering the hole in the tire though. What is the point of the hole if we are covering it up to protect from sand and water entry?

Great advice Brett, Thanks!

Good video

Thank you wants again 😀

thanks a lot s video

I don't think I need to cover the wheel vent holes cuz they don't have any foam in them when I opened them up and when I covered them up the water stayed in there cuz it got through beedlock (idk if i spelled correctly) and couldn't come out

Yes that’s true

My first rc experience is lipo battery doesn't last long. It was my big mistake to leave fully charged for a long time.

What I do is when something breaks, I upgrade it. This could lead to a bone stock XMAXX or a full race spec Ramminator.

Question: if you keep your Lipo on storage instead of fully charged and you need it fast is it still good to go or do you have to charge on balance again first?

Hi, great videos. I wanted to ask one thing, I've a 2s lipo and 1 cell is 4.09 and other is 4.15 and this difference is always present. Do I need to be concerned? I purchased it just a few days ago.

Hey, new to rc hobby. Just ordered an Infraction for my first car. I was thinking about getting 2 3s 150c lipo batteries, but I wanted to know if running 2 6s batteries parallel would give me more run time?

I always struggle understanding what KV motors I can match with lipo batteries? I'm building my first 1/10 2wd buggy. With a 2s 100c battery, what KV motor would you suggest for a high grip but tight circuit?

Is a xinhlong 1936 brushed rc car a bigginer rc car ??

I am looking at getting a care hopefully within the next few months. Last time I had one was about 35 years from toys r us. Batteries have come such a long way that I figure its time to get back into it. One question I have: is it okay to use rechargeable batteries in the controller?

ah, thank you, now i want to go out and race with my Traxxas Bandit, heh

Whats the max temp on escs?

So take that part witch is supposed to go here like this but I put it in a completely different spot like if its for the back I use it in the front if it’s for 1/8th scale I use for 1/0th no kill like overkill

For how long can you leave a 4s lipo fully charged b4 get to use it again?

Hello! Just curious what brand of tools are you using in this video. They are very nice.

First thing I did was buy tool kit, metal servo horns, and a fireproof bag for my LiPo.

What should I do if I plan on putting a bit more weight on my crawling rig

Do you have a video about charging lipo batteries?

11:00, maybe a new transmitter too.

Question I want to buy 2 RC cars for my girl's kids (10-11) and I know if both cars are the same frequency they can interfere with eachother so what frequencies are there for me to by? Its been a while since I bought my cars (20 years)

Nobody starts the nitro engine before turning in the electronics so that till doesn't really apply to nitros

Hi, I picked up an old 3-band 27Mhz RC car t(a very cool, HUGE Ford GT, almost 2 feet long!) that takes a 9.6V NiCd battery pack. It didn't come with a remote, so I bought a few 27Mhz remotes, even some with 3 or 4 bands, but none of them would operate the car (which I think is weird because there are only 6 bands in the 27Mhz range, so I figured at least ONE of the remotes would work). So I assume that to get this working, I must buy a new transmitter/receiver kit. My confusion is, the kits I see (for example, the AUSTAR AX6S 4CH 2.4Ghz) are all either 6V or 12V, but I don't see any 9.6V kits? What am I missing here? How does a 6 or 12v receiver work off a 9.6v battery? Thanks for any info.. (PS: Is it difficult to swap out the original receiver for a new one?)

9:58 motor temp is 0 K ? Damn thats chilly

Make sure you have a track before you buy

turn the transmitter on first // on some GPtoy's " ALWAYS turn on the vehicle first , then the transmitter , Always power off the transmitter before the vehicle "SO ALWAYS READ THE MANUAL ! : )

i run a castle system with motor temp warning and sensor lost warning

#3: I don't like sand. It's course and rough and irritating and it gets everywhere.

Didn’t even notice the tier vents... oops thx!!

First tip should be buy "TRAXXAS" for it's ease to work on and repair...plus excellent part support!!!!!

There’s a manual in rtr kits? Ah. Nm. I’ll just wing it. Lol.

dont go for speed, i just got my first car ever a HPI subaru nitro, and its insane fast.. think its only really doing 35-40 but how can you need more unless you want to drag race. I find its harder to control than my model Aeroplanes!

What is CA Glue? Anyone?

I bought my car used... no manual... I've figured it all out from KZfaq.

Arrma loves loctite

Whats with the B.6.2 . Is that project canceled? There are only 2 parts. Where is the 3rd. Or take a look in the 22.5 elite...great rag

volt up gear down

Here’s my biggest tip, if you like your car running never use traxxas self right

When I shut off my transmitter first ,the prop still runs when Boat is on??? not sure why

Hey Brett, I have been bashing electric rigs for 2 years now. Finally hit up #ottervilleraceway and im hooked. Love the nitro buggies n truggies (nb48 2.0 is sexy af).. Wondering if you'd be willing to make a video for "nitro noobies" ??? having a nitro for racing would be sweet but i know squat!! that would be greatly appreciated at least from me!!! cheers!

Dear Sir, sorry for question but I'm not m. language. What you mean with CA glue? Cyanoacrylate?

Ok so dont drive during rain or In a wet ground. Got it

I always want to know every detail , lol .

Hope I win the giveaway gonna make it my son's car so we can go racing together thanks for everything through all this. I have learned so much from your channel. And website

Me having a mini crawler and seeing number one: 👁 👄 👁

My rc car didn’t come with out a manual
