People need to go to the races and see if they even like it first. Then while they are there watch what the racers have to do and go through. Pick a car that you like and keep up with that car and driver. Just watching him go through everything on track and in the pit area will give you a idea of what to expect. I recommend EVERYONE INTERESTED go to the track and practice until you get comfortable before you start racing !!

I been budget racing for 10 years lol. Things can be had and built really cheap these days. Hobbywing for esc all the way motors eh either used hobbywing or ultra cheap motors from places like nitrorcx or hobby king. Batts def Amazon or hobby king period. As far as car or truck chassis buy one broken or just bashed as 90% of the time it’s a $20 part or less and some elbow grease. Currently I’m working on a pan car hd7 completely built with sensored 21.5 60amp esc and all and will have about $275 in it complete body race tires and all.

@isaiahfurrow7414 3 жыл бұрын

A decent budget option for 1/10 would be a $55 Hobbywing 10BL120 speed control and a silver Ruddog motor for about that same 55 range , both can be had on Amain,I know of a handful in my area using those speed controls and motors with good results... just installed them in my bonus kid's new truck for this season, and have one of the HW speedos in my parts bin for the next project...

@wtcamer 3 жыл бұрын

The change in pitch is likely a boost setting. AKA boosted timing. Can't really know without being able to connect the esc and see the settings, but that is my guess. Also... Cletus is the man. Do it for Dale. Hell Yeah Brother!

For $100 I bought a traxxas tqi Remote and reciever for $40 Than I got a uses Hobbywing XR10 pro for $150 I got 2 high quality batteries for $70 And a new 17.5 motor for $100 And a used charger for $20 So $480 all in I could have wrnt cheaper on a motor and speed controller but other than that probably about a cheap as I could go

@UpperLeftRC 3 жыл бұрын

😂 the way you look at $ and budgeting for loss of funds is funny lol but at least you explained the title, it’s just a very backwards way of looking at it, if I want a Ferrari it will only cost $1 but that’s only if I spend $180,000 and sell it for $179,999 when I’m done with it 🤣🤣

@toolbaggers 3 жыл бұрын

I wouldn't call budgeting costs in the long game as "backwards." Some people know it as being good with your money. Your Ferrari example kinda sounds like LEASING a car doesn't it? 😵🤣🤣You only pay for what you use with the option to buy the car that was pre-determined at the beginning. Sometimes the buyout price at the end could actually be less than what the car would currently be worth at the end of the lease. If you bought a special edition Ferrari that appreciated in value you could actually make a profit. Some rich people SPECULATE and do this as a business investment. This is why some cars like the Ford GT came with a clause that you couldn't sell it for a while after you a bought it. Ford sued John Cena because he bought the car for half a million and sold it for $1.54 million 1 month after he bought it. 🤔👍🤣🤣🤣 What Is Buying on Margin? Buying on margin occurs when an investor buys an asset by borrowing the balance from a bank or broker. Get somebody else to bank role that Ferrari! Do this wrong and.....you heard of people jumping off of buildings when the markets collapse?

@isaiahfurrow7414 3 жыл бұрын

Spektrum DX5C is a great entry level radio, that is also entertaining usable for racing... without the AVC receiver it's pretty cheap, and the sport receivers are only like $29-39... another KZfaq channel just did a video comparing lap times from his own radio and that Spektrum, as well as another racer doing the same... it definitely shows the Spektrum radio is more than capable on track and is by far not holding anyone back....maybe the top 0.000001% of racers at the pinnacle of competition,but even those guys could likely podium at big races with a lower end transmitter...

It does have an older dynamite fuze 3800kv and 130a esc. Im not familiar with this esc and motor combo. Should i run it till it goes or replace it with something new?

@wtcamer 3 жыл бұрын

The esc sends power at a certain frequency. (Some are more audible than others) The faster it goes the higher the frequency. Some motors have boost settings that increase timing at a set RPM under full throttle. This will make the sound change quickly and RPM to then begin to continue to climb. Not all escs have boost, but in higher end setups it's tunable. U know the buzzing servos make. It's lower pitched because they use a lower frequency for higher torque and holding power. Hope this helps :) (Gear mesh can cause sounds as well like others mentioned, but it will sound like a second frequency that you can hear.)

Personally I buy used anyway as what’s the point in spending $800 on a kit when I can get the last model for $250. With tires aswell I buy used but I only use them to practice and I really take them down until theirs no tread left and use them for streets. I buy eBay servos which are 40kg and work a treat and buy used reds engines. I can get a top of the line race buggy for less then $700 that’s around 3k new.

Ok, here ya go guys. Imma give you my build for an entry level 4wd 1:10th race buggy. Wltoys 104001 -$160 Surpass Hobby 3500-4000kv (3650 size) motor,esc,servo combo -$50 Dumborc Gyro built in transmitter/reciever-$40 Associated b64 front CVA kit- $27 online (fits perfect and youre gonna destroy the stock front cva pretty fast) Associated 100k Diff silicon grease-$7 Associated 30w shock oil- $6 Optional-carbon fiber chassis kit for 104001, 3mm (unless you dont mind shimming the front angle manually, in which case the 5mm is ok). $50? $70? Can't remember. If you get the 3mm install everything but leave the front stock stiffening plate (thin, t shaped) on too and it'll fix the rigidity problem while still fitting perfectly. Everything else can go. Optional 2, anti-roll/sway bar. About 40 bucks IIRC, KZfaq this one. I haven't done the mod because I'm broke but im told it also helps go a long way towards making her tear it up........ This should get you started. I like running 100k diff fluid, and the wl starts with basically DRY diffs which is very bad but theyre sealed so fill em before you run em. 30w is also my preferred neutral shock oil for this buggy. Thisll get you started, youre gonna want wheels/tires that work well on your local track. She reeeeally COOKS on 3s, though she comes with 2s batteries thatll get you practicing and running around at least, but of course you'll want 3s for racing. Will it be the lightest, fastest buggy ever? No. Will it get you in the game and give you lots of fun? I think definitely yes.
