Thank you for making this video I'm new to going to tracks I usually just bash or use my scale stuff on the trails and this really gave me a lot more confidence to go to my local track and try it out. Keep up the great content!
I’ve subscribed and been watching your channel with my kids for several months now. (Just got the kids -well, me- an RC monster truck for back yard bashing). There are a lot of guys with RC channels on TH-cam that can’t keep their language clean. You do. Every time. -well done-
Dude... thank you for this video. I was unsure of getting into 1/8 scale because of the intimidation factor of driving as a new guy. Did not know what to expect. Now I need to see what the track says about me being a disabled Veteran. Would love to marshal but my body just will not let me. Hoping they can accommodate.
Man I sure wish I had tracks like this in NJ. This looks like a blast. I could rip my Rustler 4x4 on there all day! Not really interested in racing but just for the sake of fun.
Mark, some basic tips to build confidence at a new track, nice 👍 If I am having difficulties with a particular section I will keep going back to that section and hit it over and over until I figure it out. Also, talk to the local racers, no one knows the track, or surface, better than them!
Great video Mark. I hit the track today for the first time in a year. Unfortunately I didn’t have anyone to turn marshal so after a bunch of crashes and many trips back and forth, you realize control is key. No record laps were broke but I had a better understanding of the layout and found a consistent pace. Had a great time!
Thanks Mark ! One of your best videos in my opinion 👍 very informative and straightforward! Would like to see more of these kind of videos if possible?
Great vids!! Where is that track, I’m in Texas as well, ATX. Want to start hitting a track and that one looks legit! The surface the lay out. Nice gnarly jumps! Great driving by the way, looking really good, car too!
Mark I love your videos, I have started to get back into RC racing because of them. Broke my rear shock tower first day out, so I would say a great first day. I have extra parts on order now, running an RC10B4 17.5 class to start, I was winning till i crashed haha.
Damn! The throttle on that car is quick! You approached one jump slowly and the. BAM! Sped up in about 6-7 feet and cleared the double easily. That’s impressive! Well, at least to someone who’s never run a track. Still, great runs!
Oh that looked like some truly amazing fun, I know I’d never be as good of driver to be nearly competitive, but I didn’t get into this for that purpose. I’d have as much fun running my Revo on the track! Great video Mark! Thanks a lot! 👍👍
1st track experience was yesterday morning killing time. Figured I had my xmaxx in the back of the truck, no one would be near the track so why not hit a few big jumps. After about 3rd jump I had a whole group of kids watching and asking questions. I can tell you 1 thing, an XMAXX wide maxx with shocks jacked up on a 10th scale track is about like taking grave digger to a motocross track drunk and trying to drive it. By the time the batteries went dead, I saw my poor new truck hit the ground in ways I never thought before. The doubles were really slick. But they have this huge step-up double single or a monster triple I couldn't figure out. The jump was about the size of my chevy truck. Im gonna have to take my rustler back and redeem myself. I looked like an idiot.
I think on the section that you were having problems with, if you took it a little wide on entry and almost slid it around the corner and came in tight on the following corner you should have been able to apex the last turn and save speed for the jump to the front straight
Roll everything, I raced 1/8 buggy for the 1st time 3 weeks ago, showed up new buggy, broke in 1/2 lap practice, i got no practice, flipped over on warm ups for 1st heat so I started the 1st heat with no laps, new buggy, plus I never made a lap on that track before, so I rolled everything and I qualified 9th out of 30 in 1st round. It can be done...
I'd like to know what track this is? I drive a truck so I wanna hit tracks all over, I hi the Hobbyplex in Omaha Nebraska and it was a blast. But I'm in California right now.... so I get around. Love your videos!
Can you start writing what track you are at in the description? I'm also in north Texas and new to the sport and looking for places to go race at, Thank you I appreciate your Videos.
Any advice for a track that has jumps that literally cannot be rolled? Some carpet tracks tend to have sections where rolling ends up with your car in a gap between the launch and landing ramps with no way out.
Couldn’t agree more ! I always start the days my rolling all jumps till, I get a feel for the car or truck. Mind if, I ask what the tire choice was that day for Truggy. Track conditions look closely to our local track. Thanks !
What do you mean by, pitching the front down when you take a jump? I am new to R/C , I got in because of drag racing ( I bought the Losi 22s, and the Traxxas Drag Slash ), but I also bought a Traxxas Slash VXL 2wheel drive just to drive around and get used to driving R/C cars and using the controller. But the racing you are doing in this video looks like it’s seriously fun.
I know this is an old comment- but for any others that are here learning- he means tapping the brakes while in the air will pitch the car forward while hitting the throttle will pitch it back. Race on!
Great video Mark. I have a question for you or anyone who races that might want to chime in. I have only attended one off road race and I did really well considering I’ve always ran on road nitro in the past. I have found myself using a good amount of drag brake with all my off road vehicles. Are you or any of the super fast guys using drag brake and if so at what percentage? Any info would be great. Thanks
Are there rules to what cars we can bring to the track? Can we only bring a specific type of car or can we just bring any and play? Love watching your videos and I hope to try out a track soon!
Certain tracks have certain scale ratings so you wouldn’t want to bring a 1/5 scale to like a 1/8 or 1/10 scale track so ask the track before you go! But other then that pretty much everything is aloud
Im new to the hobby and looking for a good place to run. Anyone know a place relatively close to southern indiana? Thanks love ur vids i watch them all😃
Of course you can! I built a Rustler for my son, does pretty good at the track. Remember, it's a stadium truck, basic design but good to race. Give it a try and if you really like it, buy a stadium truck kit or pick one up used.
amazing how you can narrating and running at the same time.
MORE TRACK VIDEOS PLEASE THIS REALLY HELPED ME AND IM SURE ALOT OF OTHER PEOPLE TO!
Thank you for making this video I'm new to going to tracks I usually just bash or use my scale stuff on the trails and this really gave me a lot more confidence to go to my local track and try it out. Keep up the great content!
Very smooth, calm driving, a lesson for any amateur RC racer wannabe.

Thank You so much You gave me a lot of reasons to race and I'm going to go to the track tomorrow for the first time,thanks so much again

Man that looks like a blast. I wish there were tracks around here.

Never watched track racing until your channel. Very cool.
Great vid on how to approach the track. Thanks Mark👍
Man as soon as i saw the bowl o got goosebumps. If you are every in southwest harbor maine il hook you up!

Great stuff Mark, going to a track in the next couple of weeks for the first time, can’t wait!
Initially I didn't expect to learn much but wow was i wrong. I could literally see the improvement from each lap. Thanks for putting this together.
Thanks Mark ! One of your best videos in my opinion 👍 very informative and straightforward! Would like to see more of these kind of videos if possible?

Wow, you are good. Haha. I gotta get some practice in today.

Thanks for the tips
Nice, Mark. Not a lot of tracks in my area. Have several short course trucks with no place to run them. Greeting from Montana.
Great tips, thanks👍

Really liked this video, awesome job

Must gave a quicker connection lol
Love track time video’s

Thanks a lot for the tips, I really want to try my local track but:
1st: I don’t have 80$ a day
2st, i need to repair my slash
I'd like to know what track this is? I drive a truck so I wanna hit tracks all over, I hi the Hobbyplex in Omaha Nebraska and it was a blast. But I'm in California right now.... so I get around. Love your videos!
Nice
Let's get to the bottom of this ! When is it going to be the world champion ship trials?
Can you start writing what track you are at in the description? I'm also in north Texas and new to the sport and looking for places to go race at, Thank you I appreciate your Videos.
What would you say your favorite element in a track is? or top 3 (Example; straight away, big jump, little jump, banked turns, hairpin turns)
Any advice for a track that has jumps that literally cannot be rolled? Some carpet tracks tend to have sections where rolling ends up with your car in a gap between the launch and landing ramps with no way out.
Couldn’t agree more ! I always start the days my rolling all jumps till, I get a feel for the car or truck.
Mind if, I ask what the tire choice was that day for Truggy. Track conditions look closely to our local track.
Thanks !
I ran m3 buckshots ;)
Sweet! That's great info, tons of ppl should be able to take a lot away from this vid. Thanx mate!

GOOD STUFF 🤙. SMASHED !!!!!! 🤙🤙🤙🤙🤙🤙🤙🤙🤙
I TOLD YOU IM GONNA BE THE FIRST AND EARLIEST PESON HERE!!!!!!!!! Yaaaaaaahhhhh!!!!!!!!
How do you look for a track to run your car in? I live in the city of Whittier California.
So what track were you at???? Looks like there were several things to do there as far as RC stuff. Love the channel by the way keep it up bro.
Action RC Park

How far do you drive to get to these places? My area has NOTHING local. Seems like you have tons of options!
Are there rules to what cars we can bring to the track? Can we only bring a specific type of car or can we just bring any and play? Love watching your videos and I hope to try out a track soon!

Hi
Im new to the hobby and looking for a good place to run. Anyone know a place relatively close to southern indiana? Thanks love ur vids i watch them all😃
What track is this ? Is it in San Antonio
Just send it
Just curious as to what batteries do you run in your E buggy. I’m new to buggy racing and struggling on 4s battery choices.
I run the protek 6500 4s... link in the description ;)
What rc cars do you recommend for racing cause I'm sure u can't just take my rustler and race
Of course you can! I built a Rustler for my son, does pretty good at the track. Remember, it's a stadium truck, basic design but good to race. Give it a try and if you really like it, buy a stadium truck kit or pick one up used.
Yo
