I like your positive energy and well spoken set up advice. Thanks

POV: you searched how to get better at racing and you watched this video than started watching all of his videos

Ryan: This might help you with an extra tenth or so especially with super loose/blown out tracks where light suspension is used. When doing your ride height, drop the car on two layers of polymer film, trashbags work fine, that are split down the center of the car. This acts as a roller bearing and allows the tires to compress outwards and inwards, squash, allowing true rolling ride height. Keep it up! Great videos :)

Great videos. This one really gets to some very good things to keep in mind. I have just 2 to add. 1) To finish first you must first finish. (you mentioned not breaking, but this is easier for a novice to remember.) 2)For anyone thinking about getting into racing; if you can't have fun coming in last in at first remember, you are learning it can be fun or frustrating. Have fun and learn. I'm 69 years old so I've gotten used to coming in last and having a great time. That's how I go home a winning every race day.

Ryan; great videos. I’m a long time racer (20yrs)… i have taken the past 13yrs off to raise my family. However this year i started racing again. Before i picked it back up, i watched your videos and this actually convinced me to go back. Not only have i gone back but have used many of your tips which in turn have made me faster. I wouldn’t mind if you made a video that went over oils and springs, preload, after load, and how the car reacts with different setups. Thank you! Keep up the fast speeds!

Hands down, this is the most informative RC video I've watched in the 2 years I've been racing. I struggle with shock setup and every video Ibwatch seems to show different ways that haven't seemed to work for me. I look forward to trying it your way. I subscribed. I enjoy your presentation, your positivity, and your advice. Keep up the good work! One thing I'll be looking for on your page is a video about shock oil selection by weight.

Wow. What a great video. I really appreciate you taking the time to put this out there. Thank you!

Your videos are so immensely helpful and your presentation is impeccable. Thanks for the excellent content and information.

Thanks Ryan! The end of this video was fire and great advice for all. "Race your Race" and enjoy the hobby the best way for you.

I've looked at several of Ryan's vids and like the way they are presented and found them very informative, much better than anything else out there. It was also good to see the races and see how he did. Well done Ryan, please keep posting. Tommy T in the UK.

love watching your videos Ryan, nice tips, I bought a shock pump to remove excess air from shocks and found it works a treat.

Like your style and the way you deliver the information. Thanks

Thank you for all the tips! I just built my first car and you helped me a lot with your tutorial on how to fill the shocks! Keep up the great work!

My goodness - thank you Ryan. If only I had seen this video before I began racing, just this year. Lots of good tips. I enjoy balancing and tuning my truck but my driving skills haven't yet challenged the trucks' capabilities. Next season I'll definitely pay attention and copy the guy who just passed me. Thanks again and I hope you have, or will make more instructionals like this one. I'll sub.

Hey Ryan, I love all your tips, and maintenance ways, and ideas. I don't actually (race) but do own a large number of RC cars/buggys etc, and use your tips and ideas for my buggys etc, and most of the time- I get my buggys/cars going (better) performance wise than brand new from the box. Thanks Ryan, keep up the awesome work mate. Regards: Simon.

Excellent videos my friend, top notch production!

That was a very in depth video excellent semetics and follow faster racers along with mindset its just practice I like it. I look forward to more vids mate

Love the videos Ryan. Thanks for sharing your info.

Agreed %100 percent! Shimming to remove slop on a RC model is critical for performance and longivity. Well done mate, great tips!

dude your the man!!! def some great tips!!!! thanx for takin the time to do vids!!

This video was so helpful. Thanks for your insight on track racing setup awesome I will use this to help me win more races.

The visuals of how freely your arms move and the bleed sequence are great! I'd love to see how much slop you accept in your suspension, maybe a differential tutorial too. Thanks again!

Newbie to the track,, thanks for your time and effort it's much appreciated!!!!

Great video Ryan!! I will use the tips you gave and take them to my local track and kick ass.. lol..

1st shock oil change following your tips. Thank you sharing. Traxxas GTR bleed holes are set little differently but overall it was same process and it goes well for the oil change. Like slower is faster so true. Cheers

Love your videos!! Your explanations are so layman for anyone who's watching.

Super good video and funny because I used to tell my daughter the same thing as tips 3 & 4 and she’d get so frustrated because I’d tell her to watch the other drivers to see what they do and then other times I’d tell her to just focus on her car like tip 4 and she’d be like “so am I supposed to watch the cars in front of me or not” lol. Both tips make perfect sense unless you are telling them to a teenager at the same time. Super helpful on the shock build too because I’d always been told to set rebound but your way seems smoother. Thanks again!

I want to get into racing at my LHS's clay track. Your videos are well done and help take some of the mystery out of the hobby for someone like myself, Thanks

Awesome video Ryan. I subscribed and im looking forward to future videos. 🖒

Dude, I loved this video. It was so helpful. Thank you very much. My name is Tommy and I am 12 and i have a b6, and now with your video i am so much better and won two of my loacal races. Thank you so much for making this video. God job. Amazing. ;)

Awesome man u nailed it easy going down to earth lesson much appreciated

Great advice, and so well explained and easy to understand and follow you,. And your advice.

Thank you for taking the time to share your knowledge !

Love your videos! They are always so helpful, and good reminders sometimes even when I do know things. Lol. I just bought a T6.1...where is the 13.5 stadium truck love? How about some truck videos! Thanks.

Thanks for a great video tutorial. Id love to see a video on steering: linkages, servo placement/installation, servo types/speeds/torques, setting transmitter/curves/balance/endpoints and even trouble shooting broken servos. Thanks.

Good Job. Great continuity in your speaking. You didnt make it personal but subjective. I subscribed.

great advice for racing and life in general. excellent video

Hi, I enjoyed watching you clip, you certainly know what you are talking about, and you have the talent to explain it in simple terms. Suspension is a very complex setup, as it moves up and down, variables change accordingly, so like you said, you have to have it right. Another thing is that we are dealing with 1/10 scale, therefore a small error in the setup will be multiply by 10 in real life scenario. Keep up the good work!

That makes a lot of sense Ryan. Thank you for the advice.

Great video...ready to get back out there after a proper setup.

really appreciate all the knowledge your sharing please keep it up

Awesome advice I’m new to buggies so the advice is very appreciate

Good vídeo mate!!! A lot of things learned 😃😃

I always focus on the guy in front of me personally. It lead me to the A-Main win tonight actually in buggy. Good video!

your vids are all such high quality... i subbed

Very well done! New subscriber right away!

thank you Ryan these are very useful information.

Great video brother great tips, liked and subbed you my friend because I think I can learn alot from your videos well done 😁👍😁👍

Great vedio that worth to look at it ... Thanks for the tips 👍👍 very useful

Great tips Ryan! Thank you!

#1 slower is faster... great advice...I have so many problems with it though! I actually have a sticker on my buggy that says risk it for the biscuit... it’s just so hard to relax and get in a groove haha. Great video! Thanks

Great video, thanks Ryan. I'd like to see a video of the difference between shock pistons. Like what the difference between a 1 hole and a 3 hole etc is.. Thank you

Very good points. Takes me back to my carpet spec racing days. I've been absent from RC racing for 20 years. Getting into stadium trucks now. Any good trucks to start with? I bought a cheapo just to get the feeling back. It's still in the blood.

Killer tips thank you Ryan.

can you do videos specifically about setting each adjustment, and what those changes will do as far as handling changes... like a video all about ride height... one about shock adjustments like different piston/oil combinations and spring rates... a video about toe changes and how they affect handling. a video about camber... and one about other smaller changes like Ballston washers and Ackerman and roll center and .... I'm just getting into setups beyond tires and shock oils, and picked up a ride height guage, camber and toe tools, and have a shock shaft tool and shock stand coming. ... thanks for your videos, subbed

Great video man , thanks for the advice

Always a great video to rewatch

Really enjoy this content! Im a general basher through and through but I really appreciate and am intrigued by the technical side of things. Id love to have a go at building an Rc10 kit and sourcing and fitting my own electronics, I just think it wouldn't do the car justice just driving it in the street.

Awesome stuff! Love it! Liked and subbed.. BOOM

Great video and general advice!

Great tips, thanks for sharing.

I think your videos are great. No one out there is giving specific help like you, thanks. Would you be able to make a video on driving? Throttle braking etc! For example coming into a turn when to brake or how brake, no brakes etc? Hitting the apex properly. Cheers!

Great advice. 1987 thru 1988 I raced a Tamiya Grasshopper. Crude by today's standards, but top of the limits back then. I had modified it with Oil filled shocks in the front. All wheels and the transmission had sealed bearings, I had better steering parts and I had an adjustable timing Kyosho Motor. There were faster cars than mine but I won more times in my class than cars faster than me. I will never forget a guy coming over to me very frustrated. He says my car is faster than yours but you always beat me......How are you doing that. By being in control of my car. While his car could pass me....He would always loose control of it and crash. I would drive around him as the spotters would try to get to his car and put him back on the track.

Congratulations man !!

Awesome video, thumbs up!

Awesome videos thank you for all your help

Maybe a dumb question but I'm just getting back into the hobby. Built a b6.2d . My stock shock bottoms are pushing over ball end and spring ends up loose . Enjoy and learn a lot from your videos. Was thinking of aftermarket aluminum shock bottoms.

Thanks for the positive video! A question - do you fill the shock till the top and then try to get rid off air bubles while moving the shaft up?

Awesome vids really good info. Cheers. :)

Great tips, great video, great quality. Subbing right now. :)

thank you so much for your help your videos are awesome!!!

Nice video Ryan lot of good information bleeding shocks . I also noticed that wrench you have where can i purchase.

Hey Ryan, Great Videos!! Just wanted to add to the slow is fast analogy... it should be slow is smooth, smooth is fast. worry about doing it right, and doing it right every time!

Hey Ryan, love the video. I was wondering if you have experiment with Short Course trucks setups? I have a Arrma Senton 6s and was wondering what would be a good track setup for this vehicle with the shock oil and setup unless there's a website spec sheet for one.

Great video Ryan!

Awesome information!

Really nice video!!!

i am loving your videos

I like to use a digital dial caliper for shock length checking and camber links. They are available fairly inexpensive for those on a tight budget.

Epic video. Ty!

love the videos! keep up the good work. From a fellow small youtuber/filmmaker, good luck

I think you may be very particular about a lot of things. Great videos.

first of your videos I saw. subscribed.

Good video thank you for tech tips

Great tech video

Woohoo! Setup tutorials!

Thats how you make a video! Great work

Thank you Ryan for this video!! Very Helpfull!. Also just to let you know, the link for the setup website doesn't work. Is it possible to update of suggest a other one?

Awesome video and a lot of great tips. If I can just ask 1 question why did you tighten your shock cap back on with tools? It's my understanding that you shouldn't have to. It's kind of like tightening a oil filter in a full size car you only need to hand tighten them. I've only ever hand tightened mine and have never had an issue.

Excellent advice.

Awesome video

I love you and your video but I love you more than the video

Thanks for the video. I am a beginner. I have a Traxxas Slash 2 wd. Any advise on set up for a concrete / blacktop oval track? Thanks again.

Thank you for the info I just described to your channel I'm just learning I got the traxxas/2 wheel Drive

thanks for the video and the tips but i think a genral review and tips on electronics setup like drag brake steering speed or curve throttle speed and curve and anything else would be a great help

Well done!!

May I also have this one for translation? Thanks! Love this one!

Hey Ryan thanks for the video, in order to adjust the shocks “stroke” length do you just tighter the eyelet on end of piston? First time building a kit in over a decade, thanks!

Great advice!

Good video Ryan !
