Tuning my RC Drag Car to its Fastest Pass EVER!!

Tuning my RC Drag Car to its Fastest Pass EVER!! | Maclan DRK Tuning Tips

Күн бұрын

After making the first passes with the new Associated DR10M and getting the car going straight, it's time to start going faster!! I've gotten so many tips and tricks from you guys in RC No Prep Racing over the past couple years and I love passing them on to help others. Today we're tuning the Maclan DRK, going over my tune, and seeing how to tune.
I use a couple things to help me with tuning. Data is key and we can get it from the DRK itself using the data logs, as well as the GNSS Performance Analyzer. I'll go over how I use all of that information to tune the car to accelerate as quick as possible! I'm seeing some promising numbers, hopefully soon I'll be right with the rest of the pack!
Hope you enjoy the Video!

Hey good day to you, want to try to help you with steering, don’t know what remote you have but if you can drop your End Points down to 60R 60L and turn dual rate down to 80% are so..speed 70-80%, it will help over correcting💨💨

Whatbis the different between the drk 160 tsr esc. VS the drk160 drag race king esc One with out TSR it’s like 30 bucks cheaper so I was just wondering if you might know the difference between the two

@FullThrottleRC 2 жыл бұрын

I'm not really sure honestly. I did notice the newer tsr editions seem to have a different cap pack than the DRK that I have. Maybe that's where the extra cost comes in🤷🏻‍♂️

Good evening sir, I am getting into the rc drag no prep also, am looking for a motor/ecs combo where can tune and boost all that, looking to be really competitive if possible I have a dr10 building, any help would be greatly appreciated ✌️🇨🇦

@FullThrottleRC Жыл бұрын

I'm currently running the Maclan DRK and a Trinity Drag Master 3.5t motor. I know a lot of people are running the R1 stuff now as well. I can't really compare them since I've never tried the R1 stuff but I'm happy with the combo I have at the moment.

@endosrc 2 жыл бұрын

speed zone has a 1.5t motor. I’m sure the mmx8s could handle it. I think the drk and the 3.5t motor could prob go in the old car if you wanted to do a massive power upgrade. just a thought

@FullThrottleRC 2 жыл бұрын

Oh no lol I'm not looking into anything like that right now. That's when you get into dumping money into something just for the hell of it and I'm not trying to do that. I know this combo is capable of 2.0s- sub 2s, I just have to get there.

That dr10m is a better car than the losi 22s huh? I think I'm gonna pick up a drag car after the first of the year and am tryna get all the info I can on em 🤘y'all have a badass day🤘🍻🤘

@FullThrottleRC Жыл бұрын

I haven't had any experience with the Losi so I can't really compare them. I will say I don't believe they are completely comparable cause the Losi is a ready to run car, sort of aimed at helping people get started in drag racing. While the DR10M is more like a racers kit. Think Traxxas Bandit vs Associated B6 kit. Two nice cars but aimed at different markets.

@FullThrottleRC 2 жыл бұрын

I honestly think the car is heading right just because of the inconsistencies in the road. It's not the perfect place to test but it's the easiest I can get. The rpms nor the gs are varying around that point. One day I'll find a nice flat spot to test on for real

Where do you get all your information for that died did you bite or did you get it online of what the data you got how do you get to is what I'm trying to say

Are you talking about the run data that I'm looking at? All of that data is downloaded from the ESC after each pass. The other data I use is from the GNSS performance analyzer, I can get incremental times and speeds from the app.
