This video was helpful, in fact I’d like to learn more about the 3* kick-up changes - what does it change and what situations would you want to change it for? I just finished my kit build and I’m glad you got this video out to share the info. Nothing is more frustrating than getting a brand new car on the track just to break a stupid plastic part on the 3rd lap. Thanks!

Thank you soo much 🙏, that means alot. I will ask Tom tonight and his thoughts on using the plus 3. I'll give you his answer. But I will for sure find out how it effects the xray truck. Are you running on carpet or dirt?

@HookedUpRacing2024 8 күн бұрын

I’m on dirt, indoor sealed clay. I noticed there’s zero setup sheets for the 24 truck on the Xray site, so I’ll start with kit settings for dirt and work my way toward something that works better (if it does) and I’ll post it in a month or two. I’m assuming a lot of the common buggy changes might translate to the truck as well so that’ll be my starting point probably.

+\- 3 degrees of kick up used to tune steering or at least that is what is use it for. more kick up more weight transfer to front off power less kick up less weight transfer. less kick up better on smoother tracks. -Tom Sherman

great videos and channel, your driving is fantastic, it looked awesome throwing up roosts in the corners. it inspired me to start racing, what 4wd buggy/truggy/SC would you recommend? I am a lifelong lover of the hobby, but am 100% new to racing.

@bobbjorkner7140 thank you soo much, I really appreciate that 🙏. You know I try to show what I went through, in setting the car up. I got my esc dialed in but when I done it I forgot to setting my radio adjustment to 100% and then reconnect my esc to my radio. I post a link below on how to do that. I just figured whatever I got stuck on and figured, will hopefully help someone else. But think you soo much, if anything I can do to help. Just ask, and I'll try my best to get you a answer.

Whats the best 2wd chassis in 2024?

@rcvitals Ай бұрын

@MX-CO it depends on your driving skill level. If you're intermediate privateer. I would go with xray. If you're club racer and alot of people at your track has team associated, go with the b7 or b6.4 I always recommend go new, and get the experience of a kit build. That's just me though. I hope it was kinda helpful. I really appreciate you turning in.

@fuzzfreak1967 Ай бұрын

I don’t know about you Jason but I like a more locked down car, it’s just more predictable, reliable, consistent for me and how I drive. The fast guys I have been seeing lately at the tracks I go to, they are all slipping and sliding, wheels spinning through the turns and their front wheels are constantly turning left to right keeping them going in the right direction, I can’t do that stuff, it must be the fast way though, there winning. Anyway, I run as much front/rear droop as possible. Droop doesn’t just effect front to rear weight transfer, it also affects how much your car leans in the corners. Something I just did at my last race was I lowered my total ride height 1 mm, and wow; I couldn’t believe how much more side bite I had. It’s because I had more droop when I lowered the ride height and the car was able to lean more in the turns and transfer more weight. I don’t think I would shorten up my droop unless I was to lower my ride height excessively, or maybe if it was a high bite track. Plus the more droop you remove, that’s less jump landing soaking up your car has. On my indoor 1/10 scale 2 and 4 wheel drive cars I have been experimenting with reducing the rear droop only just to get better breaking strength in the cars and it’s definitely been helping with that

@rcvitals Ай бұрын

@fuzzfreak1967 Same here, I like more of locked down car. It's just to me 8th scale driving seems different from 10th scale driving. It's a learning curve still for me. Next I'm experiment with pistons.

@fuzzfreak1967 Ай бұрын

@@rcvitals try some different shock springs if you can or different shock mounting locations too if you don’t have any different springs. Another thing I have done is put stiffer springs on my car and stood the shocks up, it’s amazing the difference I got from doing that. Softer springs or a softer shock location doesn’t always equal more grip, you can actually be too soft already and that’s why you don’t have much grip. Think of it this way, a stiffer spring pushes the tire harder and sooner into the ground than a soft spring, the car has to lean more with a soft spring to achieve the same pressure on the tire versus a harder spring. Same with the shock mounting angle. A more leaned over shock is softer overall and the car needs to lean over more to put pressure into the tire versus a stood up shock which is overall stiffer and puts pressure into the tire quickly. It’s all trial and error really, if you have the time, experiment with this stuff. Remember too, there is a little optimum window with all the adjustments an RC car has, you can always go or be too far in one direction. When I go to a track, I focus on getting my car hooked up the way I like it before I just keep doing laps to learn the layout. Good luck 👍

@RcOffroad9513 3 ай бұрын

What I have learned is that when it gets hot, I like a hard compound like a clay ss or sslw in the morning I like to run soft or supersoft. I find when running soft tires when it is really hot the tires stick while your buggy is trying to keep going causing a weird situation. Lol cool video, I bought a set if those same tires and n3ver used them because I put them in some old.rims that I had painted white (they were all scuffed up) and the glue only attached to the paint and they came off in short order. Lol but I think they would do ok for a beginner, or maybe an indoor arena track like PNB, where the dirt is loamy and soft even in the groove. 👍 I ended up going to turn and burn, and it is an awesome track, they made it bigger, and the new layout is so fun!!

I hear you guys, I have been using the same clay slicks on my cars for a very long time. I don’t have a lot of cash so I use my tires till the inserts are whipped. Right now the 4 wd buggy tires still seem good but my 1/10 Truggy tires, the foams are getting a little weak I would say. I am actually thinking about doing the acetone thing on them and putting new foams in them and gluing them back up again, the tires don’t really seem stretched out; have you guys ever done that?

@rcvitals 4 ай бұрын

Or instead of using acetone. Just take a exacto and cut around the bead of the tire. Take the old foam out, and put new foam in. Then superglue around the bead of the tire. I've done that before.

It just seems odd that we spend all this $ on kits, option parts, and top brand eletronics but when it comes to tires some ppl will run them until they fall off the rim and others act like they are only good for 1-2 runs. If tires are 80% - 90% of set up like I hear then shouldn't that be when you spend your time and $ if you want a good set up? Tire game is crazy!
