- Rc car tuning can be confusing if your a newcomer to the hobby. especially in rc racing. Here in this video I give you my top 4 tuning adjustments you need to be paying attention to, so that your car can perform at its peak performance on the rc track. There are many other adjustments on your car that you can mess around with to get it dialed in. But if you neglect these 4 things im going to share with you, your car more then likely wont perform the way it should.
These are the basics of rc car tuning and many rc car racing beginners overlook them and is what I see most commonly causing the issues when im asked for setup help at the track.
In future videos ill dive deeper in the other tuning adjustments you can make to your car that will help it perform better on the track. even the smallest adjustments matter in these little machines and if one this is off or not quite right it could potentially throw off your entire rc car setup.
Im constantly re adjusting my setup always trying to find that extra tenth or two on the track. But I honestly don't recommend that for a beginner in RC. Its much more important to make sure your maintenance game is on point like rebuilt diffs, shocks and making sure nothing is bent or tweaked. Then instead of burning time at the track wrenching and tuning id burn in laps and learn how to drive the proper way. Once you learn how to hold a line and learn breaking points and so on then id begin to start messing around with setup once you learn your particular driving style and no how you like your rc car to drive. Everyone has their own driving style so that's why its not always best to copy say a pros setup and expect it to work for you.
next week well dive in deeper on how I like to practice and you'll get a really good idea on you should approach practice days.

I mean, I saved this video to my RC list and subscribed even though no vids past 11 months - this was quality info.
I love how you showed each adjustment! Great video!
Great video! Clear explanations and examples!
Great info Brad!!! Can’t wait for the next one!
Thanks man!
Thank you. Getting into rc again after 16 years and the 2wd. Buggy is my preferance. My local track is super loose gravel/clay mix and bumpy. Mid motor cars are a new thing to me.
I wouldn’t get a modern 2wd buggy for lose conditions
Fantastic info!
this is well explained ✌🏻✌🏻
Great video
great vid!!!!
Seen the RC Fun Park trophies in background, nice! I'm finishing my first kit a B6.3d to race n Granger is gonna mainly be where I drive at. I've just got a 21t to practice with for now as I've never even been on a track. I've only played around in the yard with Stampedes n stuff back in the day. I've inherited my Dad's RC10, RC10L, and RC10GT so wanted to build my own and hit the track. Knew right off the rip I was staying RC10.
It is good and clear advices thanks!!
I’m new to the sport, your video really helped me. Thank you. Liked it so much I subscribed
Thank you!! That’s why I do these videos to hopefully help someone out!
Great stuff man. This will help me get thru my extreme newbie pains. 😬😉
Always tough starting out! Lol but you’ll get it eventually!
@@BradRC got a handme down b5m I’m cutting my teeth on. Have maybe 30 total laps under my belt. First actual race was a big local trophy race. Yeah I gave marshals a workout. Placed DEAD last. Changing set up to kit set up and starting from scratch. It was in bad shape. Steering block inserts were 2mm left and 4mm front. Lol getting it all to normal and just starting over. Hardest thing to drive I’ve ever down in RC. Lol I’m watching your other videos today. It’s fun to watch you go thru what you do. Thanks again for posting.
@@JFlyer1973 thank you! Glad your enjoy my videos! And yeah it’s easy to get lost in setup especially when your new to it.
Keep at it!
Nice track
How do you pick which tread pattern and compound to use? Great vid btw.
I agree 💯
Great video. What would be the sequencing order to setup your car?
Same as un the video? Tire, shocks, camber, toe in?
For a beginner I think the shock package is more important. Later tires are more important. Just my opinion
Great video Brad apart from you got your toe in and toe out effects backwards . Just to let people know. Guess it was just a commenting mistake . really like your videos .
Fantastic track: Impact. Just looked it up. It's now permanently closed?
Interesting...
Hello, thank you for the cool video. You have a new subscription.
Can I ask you what I can do if my 2WD car understeers too much on high grip?
I have already tried to get more weight forward. Do you have any other tips for adjustments?
Thanks and best regards
You can try a softer front spring or move the shock location on the shock tower out a hole or move the battery position forward.
What you may have to do if it’s low grip is try to get more rotation out of the rear so it doesn’t push. With that you can’t a stiffer rear spring or or raising your roll center or going to a thicker oil
What can also help as well is less droop
Hope this helps try one thing at a time till you find what your looking for.
Thanks for the support!
* you can try a stiffer rear spring
@@BradRC Hi Brad,
thank you very much for your answer. I have recently started driving 2WD.
I will try your suggestions - point by point.
The important thing, as you say, is to make and test only 1 change at a time.
The first test will be to move the shock location on the shock tower out a hole.
Best regards from Austria.
What are you driving and do you have a video on mini b
Which brand X-rings do u use on xray shocks??
Were you at impact rc in morris il ?
Cool vid. Thanks for posting! Btw, a company called RPM make a toe gauge that works well and doesn't require a set up station 👍🏻
Should I camber my off road rc? It's a Traxxas rustler and I use it mainly on grass, gravel, and pavement.
so I kinda did everything you said not to do (I'm looking for ways to improve my rc) I just got into it and made my own rc car with a 3d printer everythin is 3d printed down to the tires
Can you help me change some parts of my rc car ? Or is there a budget rc car that I can mod with better parts what would be the best option
Never seen that be do they paint your dirt track black?
👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
11:54 now thats what I call dialed
Thanks bud lol
what would you recommend for someone getting into the RC racing hobby for first RC 1/10 scale buggy
Most people start off with short course as 1/10 buggy is probably the hardest and most competitive class. But if you wanna start off with buggy it may be a harder learning curve but you’ll definitely learn from your mistakes quicker and possibly progress faster. Though there may be more headaches starting out.
Where you located at. I thought I heard Indiana, I’m in Valparaiso. When outdoor season starts where do you normally go? You are very quick on the track hopefully we can meet sometime show me some pointers.
I’m only about 30 mins away from Valparaiso I actually plan on going to King Hobbies and raceway once the weather breaks. Really wanna get in to 8th scale but it’d be awesome to meet ya and for sure answer whatever questions you have!!
Awesome videos Brad . Once I get back to racing (hopefully soon) I hope to cya again at RC Fun Park. Hope to get myself to Impact soon too. Until then keep up on these vids!😎
Thanks man! Yeah gotta get back in it! And you’ll see me there!
Sounds good man
They run 1/10 scale there too right? Not just 1/8 racing?
Is this Fitment Industries?
I would kill for a track like this in Sydney/Wollongong Australia we have zero indoor tracks.
yeah east coast sucks for tracks lol
maybe you should put some jumps in your off road track just a idea lol.
Hi Braddddd
What were the first set of tires?
They were rawspeed slicked out clay compound
Very informative video, you have a good memory or were you using sleepy joe's teleprompter? Lol good video man, i watch the whole thing
Wish I had a track like that near me. I don’t care for the hard clay- it’s like asphalt. Does anyone do loose dirt anymore?
Cars don't lean into a corner.. They lean away...
In Mother Russia, corner leans into the car
Pretty deuce
Please make more videos dude?
Stay tuned…….. 😁
isnt the correct way to adjust ride height by adjusting droop? how can it be called adjusting ride height when your adjusting shocks? thats adjusting suspension not ride height
You had 69 comments before this one
X ray is really expensive dude
Tires.
I don't think that ride height had anything to do with it. Distractions.... Children should be seen not heard. 8:16
Great video
