Just thinking the same thing - I had no idea RC cars were raced like this. It makes me want one but I don't have these dope-ass RC tracks anywhere around me haha
Man I see your comment just after thinking to myself that "I think that track looks like something my dog puked up"! Now the 2008 IFMAR track was really quite nice. Some soft pack, some hard. But the week of qualifying in crazy mud would have been hell in RC. th-cam.com/video/RIRwMnqDolg/w-d-xo.html
Here is a piece of trivia.. after the driver introduction, when the camera looks straight down at Cody’s car, you can see them pull up the body because the pressure line had broken in warm-up! The tune was corrected, tube was cleaned and reattached, and lasted the entire hour with no problem. Nerve racking moment!
This was one of the first races I ever saw. I’ve been following this kid since, but I guess this was his “15 minutes”. Sorry to say from then on he was an ‘also ran ‘.
the other day i started getting random suggested videos for pro RC off road and i have questions lol Ive seen indoor and outdoor races and i noticed that the cars seem to dip down in the air a fair bit before actually landing. Also seeing cars seemingly turn in the air. I believe these were all 4WD cars. is this effect accomplished by reducing / increasing power to a certain wheel or side of the car?
same situation here, got videos suggested and now cant watch something else. also a question: the track being this big... how on earth do they control the cars? like, how do they get perspective on all the turns?
Yes, all the cars are 4wd. They control the car mid air by applying more throttle to raise the nose of the car, and brake to dive. With 4wd, you can even turn the car mid air by turning the front wheels and applying throttle or brake. You had a pretty good idea of it. :)
i was lookin to get a nitro buggy but no one sells them anymore. what happen to the niro scene? most if not all hobbyshops only sell traxxas nitro vehicles.
@@FlyinBentleysometimes there are brakes but normally it's all decel. Brakes are too much maintenance during a race cause they break really easy in 1:8 scale. And theyre 4wd. They have so much torque, 2wd they would just burnout.
I cant speak for world championships but for our local races a few years back they would change tyres at the end of the raceday or between races. The tyres generally hold up pretty well depending on the track conditions.
Can anyone give me details about these cars? I assume they have to be somewhat standardized when it comes to motor sizes tires sizes stuff like that. I’d love to buy one or something close, so a link would be awesome🤩
@@NitroMike I had one when I was a child. Yes it may hurt but the purpose of them is not to hit a leg LOLLIO It hurts if you fell off a bicycle too LOLLIO
That track is so badass...nothing like that in the states...Hopefully when we everyone gets over being scared of dying we can get back to worlds racing.
Holy shit! I just watched this entire thing. Most exciting thing I’ve seen on TH-cam. My god how have I never known this was a thing. I could watch multiple hours of this stuff
2020 knows I need to watch RC racing all morning today. So, are nitro cars slower and a bit harder to handle than battery powered RC? It seems slower and more OOC than the video I was watching just before now, though it could be some sort of camera perspective thing?
I had a small RC when i was a kid that took 2 AA batteries. It only had one button. Forward. When you took your finger off the button it would go backwards in a turn. Thats how you turned. It went maybe 5 miles per hour. I figured out how to put a 9V battery in there. Thing went 15 mph after. I loved this shit as a kid. Still do
I'd be up to $500 in spare parts by the end of the race. Dude looked like he was going to throw up at the end when he won. Fair effort driving for an hour.
You can get a ready to run 1/8th buggy for like $300-500 dollars. They come pre-built with just about everything you need other than batteries or gas depending which you choose. These guys are running unassembled factory kit's with premium parts. Basically you pay $500-600 and get a box full of parts and an assembly manual. The rest of the parts needed are up to you. These guys usually are running the top of the line transmitters and parts so their setups are well over $2000-3000 not including all of the spare parts and tools they travel with. But for a week end club racer you can get into the hobby a lot cheaper and build a fancy buggy later.
@@spacedog504 Thanks for taking the time to reply. It looks like a LOT of fun!!!! Just wondering what it would take to get it going to run one of these babies. I had a feeling the full-blown racers would be up there, but I'd only be at the hobbyist level. $600 doesn't sound too bad. Thanks again!!
"These drivers have peripheral vision like an animal that has excellent peripheral vision"
Like a dragon fly...360* !!!!!!
That track is so freaking cool! Basically RC Supercross
Just thinking the same thing - I had no idea RC cars were raced like this. It makes me want one but I don't have these dope-ass RC tracks anywhere around me haha
God, I loved that track. So technical, and so large. I loved the look of the fencing instead of piping, as well.
Jon Cannon this is the sort of track a world championship should be held at
Yeah, except, in my opinion, the 2012 and 2014 tracks were no where near as technical enough.

@@R1Kyle I was talking about as far as technicality, I don't really care how the dirt looks.
Congratulations champ, don't want to give away the winner incase, but another historical on the edge race. Top stuff :-)

Wow. That’s awesome preparation that they were able to fix all of that in minutes.
the camera guy has a damn hard job
this is the 3rd time watching this race..one of the best track and pro. drivers..very nice race!
Damn I Love This🏁
This was one of the first races I ever saw. I’ve been following this kid since, but I guess this was his “15 minutes”. Sorry to say from then on he was an ‘also ran ‘.
Congratulations Cody King!
Cody did so good
Du bist ein wirklich echter Gewinner👍🏻👍🏼👍🏽👍
Looks like such a fun track
This is realy something! I have to say! I would love to see some closeups and slowmotion of some saves or weird landings. Realy impressiv!!! :)
I want to see some Trackmania inspired tracks for the RCs
the other day i started getting random suggested videos for pro RC off road and i have questions lol

@@mehmocan3346 It's a matter of practice/memorization. The drivers get practice laps before the races.

2010? my me that seems like yesterday
This is awesome
Do they have brakes or do they slow off decel?
They got brakes
Sick bruv do u kno 2wd or 4?
@@FlyinBentleysometimes there are brakes but normally it's all decel. Brakes are too much maintenance during a race cause they break really easy in 1:8 scale. And theyre 4wd. They have so much torque, 2wd they would just burnout.
Go Jonathan!
do they swap wheels/tires in the pit stops? or do they have to finish on the same tires?
I cant speak for world championships but for our local races a few years back they would change tyres at the end of the raceday or between races. The tyres generally hold up pretty well depending on the track conditions.
how can they tell which car is theirs? they all look the same and blend in together with that speed
Signature design and colors
Go king
Those guys are dang good 👍🏽
I use to have a MP-7.5 but, i will admitt i was driving ever so slightly slower... :)
These guys have peripheral vision like a animal that has excellent peripheral vision. 😅😂🤣
good

I wish one day we'll have some sort of sci-fi type track where the drivers race with FPV goggles.
Something like track mania
Hello me from the past
not a single mask in sight
Only ae😁
WTF?! There were adults driving these cars?! That is weird and creepy almost.. LOLLIO
Well if you get hit by one you understand why only adults drive them. 50mph into your leg ain't fun. Also these things are worth hundreds of dollars
@@NitroMike I had one when I was a child. Yes it may hurt but the purpose of them is not to hit a leg LOLLIO It hurts if you fell off a bicycle too LOLLIO
Mechanics. Hahahahah what a joke
So sad when this track closed ☹️
i think its reopened now
Where can I get a layout of the. Track
I still revisit this race and watch it start to finish. The last 10 minutes are so intense.
Close racing, most of the biggest names in RC, the diversity of manufacturers, an awesome track, what's not to love
My favorite hands down
I don’t know how I got here but this is definitely up there with marble racing
I would agree... Absolutely satisfying 👌
I think marble racing is what got us here. This is almost better than regular racing.
@@christopherrogalski8997 absolutely. The Australian stadium super truck racing is the only competition for me 👍🏻
@@jasonbourne2852 Wow, your wit is stunning. Have your mom heat you up another Hot Pocket.
Ha have you seen die cast racing
Man this is so awesome these buggys are little tuned machines of perfection the track is awesome all around fun to watch
Just got into the hobby a month ago and that last 5 min was amazing. Crazy how after an hour the race is still so close!!!
What a great race! I probably have posted this comment before, lol
Very underrated sport! These guys and ladie are amazing!!
that was insane - love the video - those final laps were crazy - amazing skills and drama
I was struggling to breath through those last few laps 🤣
They have their own mechanics???!!! Crazyyyy
thats normal😉
That track is so badass...nothing like that in the states...Hopefully when we everyone gets over being scared of dying we can get back to worlds racing.
Sorry, people are still wearing masks by themselves in their cars by themselves 😬
@@Smokkedandslammed Propaganda Victims🤣
Enjoyed watching. I’m glad they have a nice hobby. They look about how i would picture a professional rc driver would look.
And the top guys get 6 figure salaries to do it.
@@B58FTW how much do the top of the line buggy’s cost?
@@NatedoGP a real nice 1/8 nitro buggy could cost ya 1000-1500 USD, a lot of these cars would have a lot more than that in work done to them though
@@kosmokat111 that’s kinda what I expected, top of the line equipment for any hobby is always expensive
🔥AWESOME RACE🔥
all kinds of wrong
Just got into the hobby a month ago and that last 5 min was amazing. Crazy how after an hour the race is still so close!!!
Well balanced during air time , amazing suspension
don't. That jlkid from Japan hadn't messed up early on im pretty sure he would have taken this.
I love this 🔥🔥
There needs to be a go pro feed for each driver so you can watch in FPV, this was amazing otherwise
I suggest ya check out Ryan Lutz's youtube channel, he posts videos like that
Holy shit! I just watched this entire thing. Most exciting thing I’ve seen on TH-cam. My god how have I never known this was a thing. I could watch multiple hours of this stuff
Cars are cool as hell. But the drivers could be in a movie called
‘ the unfuckables”
Thanks, your vídeo os beautifull
That whip at 3:22 didn't know that was even possible
It was a backwards whip lol
Guys are playing the long game on pit stops these days
“The fans are in the crowd”🤣
Right

What do they win besides the trophy and the glory? Is there a monetary prize?
Lol f1 better watch out

how the fuck do the drivers see their damn cars
Good job 🤗
This was my top race to race... anyone else have recommendations for another?
I'd be up to $500 in spare parts by the end of the race. Dude looked like he was going to throw up at the end when he won. Fair effort driving for an hour.
54:25 - "maybe they don't think all that much..." - ouch.
That was a positive statement lol
This is my race prep! Watch the rc masters! An try to learn something!
Good friend 🤗
underrated sport
Is this track concrete? Dirt on concrete?
All of the above. Lol.
Hard packed clay with dustex
No one :

Whats the best car for this?
The best car has a a good driver
💯💯💯💯💯💪💪💪
ilike it
those things hold an hours worth of fuel? I wonder if they handle differently as their weight decreases throughout the race.
they pit-stop for refuel every 7-8 minutes. Look at 9:10 for an example
