CEN Puma @ Redwoods Rally X '24.07.27 with commentary [Qwik Kut]
I went to Redwoods Rally X track, located in the south east UK and I got to test drive an almost brand new CEN Ford Puma Rally1 car! :D
Stock setup but still performed really well.
Gotta say, proper track for this car. Some tight, twisty corners but all in all super fun! Good driving experience to make a track test on a more suitable track without any huge jumps. Much more scale feeling than a buggy track. Made me really happy! ;)

More footage from my first ever drive with my CEN Racing M-sport Ford Puma Rally1. Slowed to about 0,7 (I had some different cameras with different fps settings so it's a bit messy but I still wanted to make the vid)

My camera guy found this track about a year ago and we went there to do some recce and test. This was before switching to dji digital fpv but it was still possible to make the lap. The uphill section leading to the crest at the first of the S-bends was quite challenging with the lighting. Clouds would really be good for the laptimes.. This year I balanced the digital, better picture with immens...

Revisited this place for the first time since getting digital dji fpv goggles. Always hard to tell in advance how busy it's gonna be here but it was alright due to the gloomy weather and I ended up driving on the sidewalk to make that section of track more interesting... Driving-wise this was a quite eventful day, if you wanna skip directly to the crashes, go to 'Moments & offs' section in the ...

Here's a driving vid from the 2nd test of my new CEN racing M-Sport Ford Puma Rally 1. I was getting more used to the car and I also think my upgrades was helping me to feel better and be more precise in my driving. Some moments are always tricky to avoid due to the shifting track conditions but overall, I think there was a noticeable difference in the feeling which also reflected in the lap ti...

Ford v Ford I'm running the hpi WR8 flux and the CEN M-sport Ford PUMA Rally1 to compare lap times and handling. I was driving both cars line of sight for a fair comparison. This is a well known track that I've made videos on previously. I have recorded a lap of 10.60 when driving the WR8 in FPV, let's see how it stacks up! Keep in mind, I've had the WR8 for over 10 years and this was the first...

Wich tires do you use in this type of terrain ?
I more or less always use the hpi gymkhana tires. I don't think there's a big difference in performance compared to the tarmac tire but the placement of the reinforcement ribs inside the tire are different. on #109747 (gymkhana) they are closer to the center but on #108076 (tarmac) the outer ones are close to the shoulder of the tire, where the max wear usually happens. I think I had a closed cell foam back in the day that allowed the ribs to go down in the grooves, reducing side wall flexing even more than just the quality of the material. I think this gave me more even wear of the tires. I have a set of the hpi gravel tires but for the front I have hold the hinge pins with a printed clip and the smaller gravel wheels don't fit with these clips. Mostly driving on my own, I don't have to optimize that much, just get a nice feeling with the car and try to drive clean :)
@@Weekend-Driver thats cool so you can tell the gymkhanas tires are the best ones for all type of terrains?
@@TheRCBoys117 I think they are a good compromise, yeah. In winter conditions there's probably a better option but I dont actively search for it as these give me opportunity to go more sideways and I kinda like that.. 😁
@@Weekend-Driver i want that same feeling loosing control but keeping it under control thanks and as always great videos
@@TheRCBoys117 no worries mate! Thanks! 😊
Freaking awesome
Thanks mate! 😊
Fantastic run!
@@MysticRiverRC Thanks mate! 😊
Nice!
I had a few laps with my own car later, driving line of sight, but I don't think I beat this time. Probably my setup has gone more towards tarmac as that's what I'm doing mostly
@@Weekend-Driver Must have been. Or else you not the RC car doctor anymore.
@@christer8964 who knows... 😅
Hello! I wonder what time I would get? But with his puma
@@jakub5243 it's difficult to say :) I could have used a bit more steering in the most narrow corners, which I think I could have gained by raising it a little. Also having a bit more speed and brake would probably have helped. I dunno what times the locals does on this layout but I was quite happy with this :)
Nice car but i still prefer the wr8 it just have something that i am in love with it nice video my friend
@@TheRCBoys117 Thanks mate! 😊 I think the CEN is a nice option. I prefer the puma shell over the current WR8 shells. The Carisma Subaru is also good but I think the un-sealed diffs are a bit shady. CEN might have some weaker knuckles design but it's faster to stay off the barriers anyway so I try to keep it on the track and hope for the best. And I think it's got a really nice factory setup and feel. Hard to judge. Was ages since I had a factory WR8 tho.. 😅
Nice rallye video👍
@@RCBirds Thanks mate! 😊 Took some laps to get the feeling and learn the track and all but I think it was a really great experience! 😃
Whoa! Pretty awesome track. Also cool that you could use someone's RC. I will have to check out how to raise the height on mine a little. Also, have you heard Shapeways was bought out by someone? I doubt I will get my 70$ back... Also have you checked out PCB Way for getting your steering design printed? I would still be interested. Cheers
@@MauzyrockRC I stood the shocks more upright. Think they were inner lower hole in front shock tower and lower center in the rear. No change on arms. Don't remember if I turned the collars after that as well, but that would have been a finer tune then. Owner was well happy when he got it back.. 😁
Need a co-driver to call out the turns haha. Sick video
@@Wide_Gav It would be good for sure to help the memory a bit 😊

Absolutely epic! Thanks for sharing :)

👍👍👍👍
这期视频太有创意了
Thanks mate! 😊
Nice montage and a great rally track.
@@somedudewithakeyboard Thanks mate! 😊 I love the fast section running along the grass. Super fun when getting a nice line 😃
@@Weekend-DriverOne day I will find a similar track nearby. 😅
@@somedudewithakeyboard You gotta put in a few hours in google maps. That's where I spot most of the possible tracks. Some aren't as good irl and it can be harad to know for sure if there's no street view or outdated images, but sometimes you hit the jackpot! ;)
@@Weekend-DriverGood tip, thanks. Do you have an advice on how to make people leave the track? Coming at 5 am is not an option - I like to sleep. 😁
@@somedudewithakeyboard I hear ya! ;) Some ppl get interested, some pull away. maybe rigging some camera gear can scare some off without disclosing that your gonna rally in a bit. I guess you could try talking to them, but I never do.. 😅 But also the timing, if weather seems a bit uncertain goint towards rain, most ppl are likely to go indoors, so if its a track close by you can use that to your advantage. I mostly just hang around and wait for a good opportunity. I usually run 2 packs, which takes about 1,5 - 2h with filming included. The more time spent, the harder it gets to edit because the light can change a lot but for driving it's fine. Maybe just take a couple of slower laps to see what ppl are up to, show your intentions and if they hate it too much, hopefully they leave.. 😁
Looks like a great track. Lots of fun to be had! 😮
@@RollnHeavyKevy Yeah! And even better with a 10th scale I think. A bit more room for manoeuvring :)
Finally we got another hpi rally video 😎
Haha! Cheers mate! There's more where that came from... ;) Just gotta have time to edit now... and vacations is soon to be over.. 😅
@@Weekend-Driver ill be waiting for it
Awesome run. Did it take some getting used to the tight turns? Cheers
@@MauzyrockRC Thanks mate! :) It takes a lot of remembering the corners because it's often the case that most of it apart from the entry is hidden. I also tried it with 10th scale cars and they had more margin for error due to being smaller and having better turning radius :)
Riktigt grymt!!
Tackar! 😊
This is so bad ass!!!! I need this in my life asap!!!
@@takalakjones3248 yeah, definitely be good to have access to a place like this close to home 🙂
Oh this track looks perfect for these cars!
@@MauzyrockRC I have some trouble getting mine to turn enough around the tight corners but I never really set it upp properly for it as I don't really have that testing opportunity back home 😅
Awesome rally track. I feel like this size track would lend itself to 1/14 or 1/10 tamiya scale rally cars ( more speed perhaps?). Cheers
@@MauzyrockRC this is good for 10th scale or smaller. WR8 and CEN is tricky as there's a bit too sharp corners.
You inspired me to build a rally fpv, have you ever figured out the mileage you put on? And could you show the chassis protection (keeps debris out) Thank you! :)
@@tigfpv3821 you mean on the WR8? I've had that one for a long time, over 10 years, so it's gotta be a significant amount. The chassis protection for the CEN you mean? I happened to make a test live before my trip to redwoods. Here's a link! :) th-cam.com/users/live6tuYRdIbNJc I know it's crappy lighting and sound but the protection I think you can see pretty good 😉
Better try next time 🙂
We tried to run it in the evening that same day but it had some poor soldering on one of the motor wires so, unfortunately no more driving that thing this weekend 🤷♂
@@Weekend-Driver Typical
@@christer8964 sometimes it's like that... 😅
@@Weekend-Driver It's always like that 🙂
@@christer8964 yeah, who am I trying to fool... 😅
That is a really nice track! But that one will be impossible to drive one lap without any crashes. You better try to expand the spann of lowest speed as much as possible. That one will be like driving in Amazonas, hope you brought your machetes with you.
I had a go with the Lancia after I stopped this filming. Then I also drove my WR8 for a few laps. Obviously it's a bit cramped for the WR8, but I managed to do some half decent laps I think 😁
New video ?
@@TheRCBoys117 Not yet mate. But hopefully I'll be able to make a couple with all footage I'm gathering. Just thought I'd post something quick just to let you all know I'm not being lazy on my vacation... 😅😉
@@Weekend-Driver haha understandable i almost watched all your videos ill be waiting for more content have a great day 👊🏽

Great track!
Yes mate! 😊 Was nice flow on this S bend section. A tad scary in junctions... 😅

it almost looks real im having marathon on your videos they are great
@@TheRCBoys117 Thanks mate! ☺️ Happy to hear you like them! 😉
I love videos on snow
Thanks mate! I love driving on snow. Makes it even more realistic with a bit lower grip 😁
Love your videos bro i really like the wr8 im looking to get one soon by any chance can you tell me Where you get those front lights
@@TheRCBoys117 Thanks mate! ☺️ The lights are a long story. I've build them myself. Consists of a 3D-printed light pod that I designed off pics of the real one. Then I bought a set of integy roof lights and ditched all but the light buckets. I also switched the LEDs to 4x1W. Looks great in the night but doesn't really shine far enough to be able to drive fast with them 😅 I had them on shapeways but it seems they went bankrupt so I'm not sure what to do.. 🤷
@@Weekend-Driver oh man sorry for that just too let you know they look great and scale in the future im gonna buy that gear case that you have there if you could keep those fpv videos man they are fire 🔥
@@TheRCBoys117 Thanks mate, I will ;) I might have to promote this page instead depending on what happens with the shapeways stuff. It was easier to manage shapeways but I've used this service as well: i.materialise.com/en/shop/item/wr8-flux-gear-housing?designer=mr-uueekend&sortBy=mostResent&pageNumber=1&pageSize=9&index=4
that looks so cool. Did I spy a zip line for cameras. I wish there were some RC people near me cos playing RC by myself gets boring. :-(
Thanks mate! 😊 Regarding the zip line, indeed you did... 😁I've been trying to use it a few times. It's tricky to have it go at the same speed as the car as it's only driven by gravity. Dropping it and then fetching it is a lot of work so we get those shots but no other. Also takes some time to rig it for a very specific shot so the need for a bigger crew is appearing.. 😅
Wow this looks like so much fun!!! Hats off to you my dude! I wanna try this now with rally, drift, and rock crawling 😂😂👍🏻
Thanks mate! 😊 I think it's so much fun, and in winter conditions it's quite tricky but feels kinda real. Lower grip -> slower speed so you can experience the surroundings a bit more. More time to plan driving.. 😅 Try it, it really changes the hobby! 😉
@@Weekend-Driver no prob! And you awesome dude! I’ll definitely give it a try! Looks like a blast for sure! Would love to try this on my rwd drift cars for sure.
@@modernart86 I was gonna try my hpi RS4 with drift tires and the FPV but I had a lot of problem that later turned out to be a cable broken inside the insulation.. I should also try drifting again at some point 🙂
that is so awesome
Thanks mate! 😊 Subscribe if you haven't already and check out my other vids. I have a whole bunch of more content like this... ;)
A thing of beauty! Drone is a great addition too! I am stoked to try out your steering linkage design!
Yup! I think it's completely amazing! 😍 No drone mate! it's the cable car cam.. 😅 IT consists of a tent line and a wagon that I hang i the line that carries the camera... This is also my own design... 😉 And regarding the steering linkage, me too! 😃No more jams! And this track place where I tested it has only been this clean this particular weekend. I think they had just swept up the gravel used in the winter. However, my cuts bring more pebbels from the grass and everywhere so I'm quite sure it should be a good upgrade! 👌
Massive jump! Something Walter Röhrl wouldn't like, but he only like some tracks.
Yeah... I think I have something in common with Walter... 😅
Har du inte fått fart på Puman? Eller går Hpi’n bättre?
Jag har inte velat såga ut rutan ur Puman så den kan ju bara köra där jag har line of sight, å det är ju typ ingenstans där jag kan göra filmer.. 😅 Jag har kört 8 ackar med Puman, ändrat lite på dämparna, styrningen å satt kränghämmare i bak. Tycker den går riktigt bra nu på min testbana ;)
What types of cameras do you use in your car?
The one inside the car is the FPV camera, a caddx nebula pro (this doesn't record audio). On the side I have mounted a runcam2 with a 3Dprinted bracket.
Great run! Windscreen is definitly causing some glare but good experiment. Maybe the subaru body with steeper windscreen angle would work better?
Thanks mate! 😊 Yeah the Subaru might work better. I just haven't got around to painting it yet
Awesome video dude! Subscribed 👏🤙
Thanks mate! 😊
looks so cool. I really must get some FPV gear and get my drift car put back together.
Thanks mate! 😃 yeah, I think drifting in FPV would be cool! 😉
Good stuff! Thanks for taking the time to put it together. Always a pleasure to watch.
Thanks mate!😃 It's always so nice to hear that you guys like it 😊
Terrific rally today! Do you know whereabouts your top speed is? Cheers
No idea mate, butI think this place has a high average. at least compare to some of the other places I run 😃
Love all the details, even helicopter sound when showing from above 🤩👍
Thanks mate! 😊 Fun fact: I built a camera mount like a cable car wagon and pull it along a paracord-ish line. @1:28 you can see the orange line, released from tension, lying in the bushes to the right in the background 😁
Cool, I love your commitment to this 👍
@@LyhneRC Thanks! I try my best to see what I can do.. 😁
your work is awsome
Thanks mate! 😊
Awesome video. Nice driving. It made me think of what you see and how that relates to braking points. Is it faster than viewing from a distance. And would driving fpv be the same as video game driving. Also, some rally car sound effects to go along with the chopper would be legit.
Thanks mate! 😊 I think different situations favours different method. A good overview will better show you the complete situation. If the car slides in FPV it's easy to see the amount of rotation, but to determine if it will stay on the road you also need the speed and that is a bit more tricky in FPV. At least that's the feeling I get from looking back att the footage sometimes, I counter the slide, but it wasn't all that bad, or I could have let it go for a bit longer. However, it's usually not possible to get that good overview in the tracks that I run. Due to the narrow roads I'd need to get almost right behind the car so then FPV is still the best alternative until I can levitate... 😉 I think driving a video game is a good comparison. Games offer just a bit more information to the driver such as force feedback if on a wheel but also the sound effects of engine revs and tires. This helps improve the feeling a bit. In the RC the amount of sound feedback is dependent of the distance from the car and that usually varies a bit over the lap. Going digital makes me able to more freely pick my driving spot but still, I think a mic in the car would make sense to have the same sound situation at all times. I took the heli sound from an old WRC vid so it is how it was 15 years ago ;) Maybe I shouldn't have muted all RC sound? I'll think about it for the future 🙂
Very nice, I am wondering if you can cut on top of front window that blocks the cam.
Thanks mate!😊 I could, but I'd risk getting more sun glare in the cockpit then. Also it removes faces of ppl in the shot so it's like censoring. I think it's a feature basically.. 😁
@@Weekend-Driver You could use ND filter for cam.
@@jdpasltrains Like with a gradient? It's good if the ground doesn't get darker. Ideally I'd wanna set the light metering to spot or center weighted but I still think I'd get some tricky conditions sometimes
@@jdpasltrains Why do you want the windscreen more open? I think the real car is similar, I cut to where the sun strip starts on the window decal. Of course I think I have the cam closer to the roof that where the driver sit so it still might not be 100% true to scale.
@@Weekend-Driver Yeah but problem is camera is not same as human eye. Camera is kind fish eye. I had Traxxas 4TEC car and cut open wide window so I can see better and feel comfortable.
but what about the wr8 and not the puma? Will there also be a test on this track with a Puma?
I need to figure out a way to get the FPV cam mounted on the Puma first, this place is not possible line of sight. Then I can have a go! 😃
A ok.
I think the Puma moves so beautifully, so I'm really keen on having a go in FPV 😊
Ohh yeah! Terrific editing mate! That was a nice run! Looking forward to seeing the Puma take it on :)
Thanks mate! 😊 The Puma.. Yes, how can I fit the FPV gear on that, I wonder... I kinda don't wanna cut the windscreen. But running it on the roof is also a bit clunky. I have eyeballed the dashboard of it, seems simpler than the Fiesta one so it's not unthinkable but I need more time I think
Another cool video! 😁👌
Thanks mate! 😊 I really like the section next to the grass. So nice when getting a good line thru there! 😁
