Thanks! Glad you like them!

@@RC-lets-go yep, exactly!

Right on bro! Hope you enjoy it! Thanks!

@@thetwinz1066 yep he took the 1 overall! Close series as Chris TQ which put them at a tie. There was a lot of good sportsmanship between the two i noticed in this race. They yielded for the other when they made a mistake

Thanks! It sure was fun!

Lance here 😅 I can attest, indeed it was too much fun! Cant wait to battle next week A!

😂 Did you guys see the other short featuring you two?

Yeah that was pretty damn good! I can't believe I caught all of it. And the reaction at the end is priceless 😂

Thanks! The race statistics overlay is a program I created. It is a python script that downloads the data from liverc.com, does some math on the data, and then uses it to generate a .ass subtitle file. Then I use ffmpeg to burn the subtitles to the video before uploading to YT. However all of this needs to be time-synced. To help with this I wrote code to detect the sound of the start tone. Majority of it is all automated now!

Not on purpose. Just hit the brakes too late, lol

Did we forget how to steer lol. I have done it myself. Yikes

I didn't want to turn because there was a lot of cars parked around the corner that I might hit. Usually give myself more room to brake, but not this time, haha.

Thanks! But, who is Ethan?

@@BirdRC isn’t that little dude Ethan? Or is that his brother?

​@@APxRCheadnot sure. The one racing was Isaih, his brother is Ezzie.

Right on! Hope to see you down there sometime soon! We also have a group on Facebook called R/C Plus Racers

Thanks man! Definitely felt good so far, but got some work to do! The table top landing is where I am losing a lot of time. Hoping to get some 11s in the race tonight!

Man i can see how that might be tricky since theres a turn right after landing. Normally id say land on power to keep speed up. What about jumping wide so you can land on power and power through the corner........i dont know but good luck dude!!!!!!!​@BirdRC

Yeah man congrats! I'm so glad to hear you enjoyed it! I would love to help you out anytime you come back!

Haha sounds like fun!

Thanks! Yeah I am enjoying my B7 a lot. It has been working really well for me so far. It was a new layout, and I only had a few packs of practice so I wasn't super comfortable with the back straight, so I wasn't going full out, I was only driving it to the speed I could make the jump cleanly with. I felt taking it slow would more than make it for itself if I was able to avoid even 1 time being marshaled there. So you can even hear Mike say after Isaih hits me that I was going kinda slow. So it may not be all his fault. Because of that though, you can see the next time I go for that jump with him behind me, I took it faster to avoid him passing me or crashing me, but that lead to me over-shooting the jump due to me taking it faster than I was used to, and he passed me anyways because of it. Was definitely a super fun and intense race for sure!

@@BirdRC that’s a really analysis of the race action. We really learn a lot by watching back. I think we really learn a ton of race craft by running on carpet, it’s kind of a pressure cooker compared to dirt!😆

No worries man! It was pretty incidental, anyways. Glad to have you back racing with us! Also you said "slobbering", lmao.🤣

@BirdRC Wow, that's awesome!

Huh?

Yeah sounds like a good idea

It sure is!

Yeah would be plenty, but tell that to the guys running Mod 4wd, lol! I have mine turned down down 85-90% throttle rate, but mostly because I'm still new with 4wd. I think I heard Hobby Action was going to start a 17.5 4wd class though, so would be interesting to see where the industry goes...

Thanks man, I appreciate it!

Thanks! So I'm running cut staggers front and mezzo rear for the Schumacher car on this video. I use fuzz bite both wide and regular on my Associated cars and love them. I glue the sidewalls. The carpet here is a bit rough and they work well. When i am at a smooth CRC carpet track i used fuzz fronts on the Schumacher too. Do you use the foam on your wide fuzzbites?

@BirdRC I do run the foams with side walls glued most of the way up. I thought to try and run foams because on the cut staggers I didn't run with foam. I like the wide fuzz bite on my ae b6.3 been thinking about trying pin swaggs but fuzz bite been working good so I don't know.

Right on man! Yeah I really like the fuzz bites on my AE cars. My mod car started out as a a 17.5t B6.3, but I upgraded it to a B6.4 a while back. Once I got the LD2 I converted it to a mod car to play around with. I think some of my earliest videos have it as a B6.3 when it was all green. I feel like I need to do some more back to back testing to see if the wides work better for me or not. The fast kid in the video is running regular fuzz bite front, him and his dad swear by them.

Yes it does!

Yeah it might be a little tighter with the added jumps, but its far from being cramped. Its one of the most fun layouts they have had imo. I haven;t messed with setup too much yet as I wanted to get a feel for the track first, and I brought 4 different cars to test out in a short amount of time, lol. I will say I turned down the throttle rate on my wheeler to 85% and that made it a lot more manageable right now as I work my way up on improving my skills with it, and that helped.

@BirdRC right on man turning the throttle rate always helps me too, can't wait for the next one man!!!!!

Don't think I can make it, but have fun! Its a real nice track!

@@BirdRC Cool, I'll always give a heads up when we cruise over the pass

I know right!!!! And I got through it!!

Thanks! 👍 Glad you liked it.

Yeah it was definitely a struggle in 21.5. And it was new to me that day so i didn't have time to tweak gearing and stuff. It was like a hail mary pass every time, lol.

Thanks man. I run 17.5 as well and Stadium Truck but no SCT. It turned out that one of the motor wires had come un-soldered due to a cold joint I assume. I re-soldered it and it happened again in Q2. I cut off the old solder and used fresh wire and was able to make it through both mains like that and got 3rd overall.

@BirdRC dang man hate that happened, but seems like you got it figured out, makes for a crazy race day. I'll keep an eye out for more videos. Keep it up man!!!!!!
