When I did f1 and pro ten I used to have 4 sets of tyres for the day and swap them between races. This means you don’t have to worry too much about gearing and ride hight changing between runs. It also means you can have the additive soak in longer maybe even over night. Biggest tip I have is to massage the additive into the tyres with an old towel. It doesn’t add that much more grip but I found that the grip lasted longer. So you get get good grip at the end of the run.
thought for a while if i should go back to touring cars from buggy but TC cost like 4x and is fiddley and need alot like setup stations and an way much other stuff, so im sticking with byggy that also is more fun with the jumps.
@@PopalongRC i think off road is way more easy in that i could set up my car only by a simple ride hight gauge a caliper and eyeball camber from a 90 degree measurement and it dont do much if im 0.1 degre off or half a turn wong on a shock but TC that is another thing that the car need complete tweek if it hit a track marker or banging in to another car and what does a complete hudy setup station cost compared to a non digital caliper and a rideheight gauge?
I hope you do more setup videos on this car , i have a Schumacher Icon that is basically a long wheelbase version of this car and so different to all my other cars setup wise .
Nice to see GT12 getting some attention, really enjoyed the class when clubs around me used to run them. You will need to get yourself a Tyre Truer next!
Vernier calipers are a must even as a basher I have them just to get all the links right, measure screws and even doing my carb and trim settings for my nitro buggy.
I love the racing content. I want to race RC cars. I even went as far as to build a VTA car. However, it is basically a parking lot ripper because there is no racing in my area. 😢
I had the original Supastox and it was really good at my local track. Went to another club and I was so slow till i changed the gearing and then it was like it was a different car. Went to 2 more clubs and aside from some radio issues, was a mobile road block. Changed my electrics, bought the Atom 1 when it was new, but at another local club for me, I was middling. Still dunno how to work gear ratios after nearly 30 years of racing, that's what I need to figure out, and then remember 😆
greetings from Poland! We are doing there gt12 on std 1/12th scale cars with GT bodies. 13.5T juststock g2.1 engine for all, 1s lipo, blinky speedo. This is the best what anyone can ride! About fluids, contactrc tires works nice like 35/35 T foam front/rear with spider blue or this new h-speed carpert fluid. Just rotate tires so they are will not get spongy and shi....ty ;)
Definitely need 12k and 50k oils, those are what I'd call "base setup" oils for the car, most start with 12 in the sides and front kingpins, and 50 in the center damper. Seems like you're missing the rear pod brace too that goes above the axle, that definitely won't help!

I'm not sure if anyone else who follows the channel likes this content, but I like where this is going. Hyped for more.
Cool
More incoming
Brilliant video mate ! We like it all technical and stuff 👍
Glad it is well received
Always good when you get to buy some new toys. Another great video as well 👍
Yeah like it when get new toys

I am undecided on road or off road

@@PopalongRC also i need to mention popalingRC is an awsome channel.
both racing content and fun yet educational content.
Brilliant video, you got me back into racing after a 10 year break
Awesome
Thanks for commenting

Sure thing
Outstanding… thank you …..😎🦾🍻cheers…
Gone all pro now measuring his bits.
Hahaha

I know that is another toy to play with
Only if they ran rubber tyres you wouldn't need to worry about any of this stuff

Agreed
Great video, nice set up tips. I have that same Core setup board glass. Good stuff
Cheers Blue
Thanks for exploring this. I just bought one and the only thing I'm able to consistently do with it is put it into the barriers 😂
I know the feeling

That is a shame there is no racing near you
Seriously now. Wednesday night some time, come to holbeach.
Plenty of experience there and 3 drivers were in the lmp a final at the weekends national.

Need to order some more
Awesome stuff. Watched a couple of Your videos. Glad to subscribe. Quick question. Is there any rubber tarmac tyres available for this scale?
Not that I am aware of
What is a good motor and esc to invest in for a newbie
What chassis is this?
Schumacher Atom3
Throw it on the track and go classes??
Yep
I guess now you run the elite class, nothing will par up
Some say pro’s that ‘set up’ your car are just un-fucking it for you…
Hahahaha
