เข้าร่วมเมื่อ 6 ธ.ค. 2006
South Wales, UK based RC racer. I race in the BRCA National 1/10 Off Road series, Welsh Radio Control Association regional events, various club nights and special events. I am here enjoying racing toy cars, returned to the hobby in 2022 and was an old skool racer who raced from 1988-1995, the golden era of RC racing in my opinion. Happy days!
RC racing is 1/10 Off road Indoor Carpet and Outdoor Astro and Grass.

Don't suppose you have any links for the cap you use?
Sure do. Here you go www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B019Q8DH5Q/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1
@Bezza90 I was looking at one very similar from amazon but delivery was 20th Jan- 1st Feb. You using the hero 13?
@@ucanq3629 I am using a GoPro Hero 11 Mini 😀
I prefer Cardiff to calidicott because Cardiff is more spread out.
Thanks. There is certainly more space to work with for sure.
I don’t like this track it’s to small.
I am afraid it is a limit of the size of the venue.
About 18 seconds a lap on a good clean lap.
That’s good going buddy 💪
Coole I would buy an echt car but I don’t know what the best car for a race like this can you help me pls?
Hi Brian. I run Associated cars, so this car is an RC10 B7. It is set up for carpet with a gear differential. I use Sanwa stick radio and Hobby wing XR10 speedo and Reedy motors and batteries. Currrently running a Savox servo.
at least I looked good whilst marshalling!
Your deffo gapping that bottom section next
It was a little too risky to do and you needed to swing in from wide. It was doable, but not I do not think a massive time saver and there is a lot of jeopardy in trying it. :)
Looks great mate. That first little bump section, do you make them? We have a smallish track at Forest of Dean and the buggies are really popular. Think we had 8 members booked in at Caldi. Just looking for little sections like that to go with the jumps to make our track more "offroad". Great layout. Nice and flowy
I believe they were made by a place no longer running, but I believe there are some places who make stuff. I am in the process of getting details of stuff like that, as we would like some more jumps to vary things a little. Even if we were to get hold of the CAD files, we could look to get a place to make ramps.
I look forward to checking this out. buggy is in the post 😎
Awesome stuff. They are great cars.
Really enjoyed that track
It was defo better than last week. Had a decent flow in places. Was not a fan of the pipe being behind the roller in the corner, as I could not quite tell where it was, so had to use the force a little there. But enjoyed it. Shame I had a migraine in round 4 too, as I was on for a decent time until the dazzle went right in the middle of my vision.
Excuse taken from the RC racers excuse book 101 🤣
Nice Drivin !
Thanks very much. Round 3 was me best one though th-cam.com/video/X97PnsZ8EYI/w-d-xo.htmlsi=cOoZMQr92bsPXris
That's a cool track
It is great and has a lot of natural features. My most local at 70 odd miles away.
are these 2wd or 4wd
They are all 2WD Associated B7’s apart from the orange one, which was a 4WD.
@@Bezza90 thank you I've recently brought a rc8b4.1e but also want something 10th
@@benjones9123 Nice. I would love to do a bit of 8th, but that is another money pit I am not yet ready for lol.
@@Bezza90 what motor and esc do you run is 2wd and on what cell?
@@benjones9123 I had a 6.0T Reedy Sonic with Hobbywing XR10 160A ESC. I use Reedy 4800 Zappers. The car at this track was pretty well geared up due to the straight, so I was running a bit more turbo and a larger pinion than I would normally run.
Looked pinned last night mate. What was your setup? Do you keep notes? I was using heavily glued staggers but really could of done with the grip
Thank you. It felt decent enough for the first time on the new carpet. Still work to do on the setup, but a tidy start. Here is a link to my setup sheet from last night. 😃 drive.google.com/file/d/1Bd2GQ__xFx87hp7fyWLuleAPYHaUpazS/view?usp=sharing
That's awesome 👌 what kinda tweeks you thinking?
@@ucanq3629 I want to experiment with KPI a bit, as I have not got on top of that. I want to also try changing the link positions a little to see what effect it has on the overall handling. Say hi next time we are racing, I'll try and help if I can. 👍
This was a good race, it could've gone either way... I really enjoyed today it was fun.
Certainly was! I really enjoyed it. Was great battling with you!
Is the Astro turf laid over dirt? Or is there something else underneath it?
Hi. I believe it is on dirt/ sand mix to help drainage. After rain the grip goes up, then back down as the sand comes back up.
First view and comment from algorithm. Bout to blow up 🎉
🙌
Looks so quick on the camera! Are the marks on the wall from grip rolling cars?
Yes they are. I’m sure a few are mine from the early days when this carpet was new. 😂
Hope they keep the wall ride for Friday 😅
It was quite good fun to whip around it. COst me in the final though! Bloody bits of track being in my way 🤣
what motor and pinion u running for outdoor astro?
Hi. I run a Reedy 6.0T motor and 21 tooth pinon. 👍
What went wrong in the finals? Something fail bud?
My classic of not putting in charged cells. Thought it felt a bit sluggish.
@Bezza90 ooooh damn lol. Looking at your laps I thought you might of retired
Looks a nice layout. Sad to miss this. Next week 💪 ready to come bottom of the pile hah
It was really good. Car felt great too. A layout that suited my driving.
What a venue
It really is nice, plenty of facilities too. 4WD track was hard though.
Had to laugh Me & my partner are stood watching in bottom RH corner 👍 Steve H. Great track will try and have a go on the 28th with My vintage car. 😁
Hi Steve, I can see now you have said where you are. I was there again Sunday for the SW regional. There was a particularly quick Trickbits YZ10 ripping about.
What do you run mate
I run an Associated B7, Reedy motor and cells, Hobby Wing ESC, Savox servo and Sanwa Stick radio.
Shame about getting stuck on that pipe mid race.
I know, it is turning into a standard move I pull in finals now! Got to stamp it out, it costs a lot. Great track though. Really enoyed racing there.
The worst start you could have hopped for there. Good recovery. He ran into you at the end! I probably wouldn’t have waited either. Not like you were to blame there.
Thanks.I know, worst time and place. I fully intended to go easy there as I knew it was slippery, but still got it wrong. Must have been the pressure. I have a habit of binning it early in finals from good starts. 😄
Looks great fun, at the same time i know its a lot harder than it looks, they are all ripping around👌
Grip was low! 😂
Good race, can't believe I made such a pathetic mistake 😂
Ahh that was you who fell over the side of the wall a couple of minutes in. Unlucky.
What kind of ground cover Do you use?
It is astroturf if you mean the surface. 16mm Ride height. :)
More sticks than you could shake a stick at
We are old skool here in Wales. :)
Fair play Matt , you drove that track very well
Thanks very much. Car felt great which made things easier.
Wow. Most of them are using stick transmitters
Surprisingly common in the UK. Quite a few of us twiddle the sticks. 👍👍
Cracking race. The track layout was brilliant, best yet since my return to 1/10th. Love these vids, keep up the good work Matt.
Thanks Paul. I enjoyed the track as well. Had a nice flow to it, with a few challenges over the jumps.
Ouch! 🤣 You must have edited that to remove the look I gave you Matt! 😄
Didn't fancy adding the glare you gave me. Sorry again Pete!
Keep the videos coming. Slowly planning my return to racing at Cobra. What T motor you running? Seems to fly down those straights.
Hi mate. Yes, be good to have another face from the olden days back again! Motor prob a bit hot for in there, but I love it going fast. I am not in it lol. It is a 5.0T. I do not run any boost or turbo mind you, but he advance on the end bell is at 31 degrees. I now prefer the more linear power the N/A setting gives, makes jumping more consistent.
yeah, fusion-staggers gave me more grip... but also more grip-roll!
Meanto reply a little earlier! You can try raising the front hub to account a a bit of that.
Hi Matt it’s owen and I was down at redberth and I finished 1st in the b final where did you come in the a final.
Hi Owen. Well done on the finish! It was a tough track to keep it clean, so that is a good effort. After a shabby start made it up to 5th 1 second behind Pete in 4th. It was a case of pushing a bit much to catch up and being scrappy for me. Great day old skool grass racing though!
Is this a touring car race with 2 ramps or is this what "off-road" has become ? :)
Difficult to bring the grass and dirt into MK shopping centre I am afraid. Outdoor season starts this month though.
@@Bezza90 agree. It just looks so disinfected...
Finally get to see my race-face on camera 😄
We all have one 😉🤣
I need a wider rear wing Matt!
Pete, I was at panic stations, as I knew if you beat me, I was 6th overall, not 4th! Was great fun battling though.
Nice meeting you today mate 🤙🏽
You too Jazz. It was good fun trying to chase down your times, but you had too much pace. Hopefully race again soon.
Thanks for filming your races Matthew please feel free to share to our club page
Thanks Richard. I will share a link.
