What lessons or tips would guys like to see in the future?
Advanced level driving. The purpose of doing whips/scrubs and how to do them. How to position your car in a corner, and in the air to set up for the next corner
How to jump smooth and constantly
I like the beginner/advanced videos you are doing! It would be awesome to have a video about scrubbing (braking on the face of the jump) to maintain speed but also making sure you are wing up when going over the jump and downsizing the landing, and maybe some talk about whips and how we actually use them to position the car where we want it to go and such!
@@matt777 when whipping your car in the air turn the car opposite of the direction that you want to turn and then turn into the corner and it will bring your rear end around.
I would love to see a more in depth turning video! Entry, exit, jumping into turns and jumping immediately after a turn. Maybe a little bit on reading the track and different ways to attack different obstacles on the track (ruts, sift, rhythm sections)
Wow & Cheers. I’m that fan with the MA in International Education from the 1000-year-old Westminster Institute which moved to Oxford 400 years ago. If you don’t already have a degree in education, your local university should award you an honorary one. Seriously. You’re an expert in Piaget - you already knew your student’s style-&-issues from long-term careful observations and your first questions were about what his questions were. You’re an expert in Vygotsky - you took only one part of the track and focused on the tiny details of that and then gradually applied those to larger areas. You’re an expert in Jerome Bruner - you used repetitive practice with each iteration of that jump becoming more stable as Carlos learned more details about the approach line and speed. Your student is also brilliant at being a student - so respectful, listening hard, trying the difficult stuff without complaint. Watching you two was like watching Gloria Estefan teaching Ariana Grande!
This was the most thoughtful and articulate comment I've ever seen on one of my videos... thank you!
Personally, when I go to practice at the track, I’m trying to go as fast as possible, but once I get into the race, I turn the intensity down a little, which I think helps me know where I am able to really push the car for speed and often makes it feel really easy to turn quick, consistent laps. Love the videos, keep it up!
Super stoked this was 1/8 driving tips. Admittedly I was not as excited thinking it was 1/10 again. So thanks for that, great job.
That was a very engaging tutorial. Big up Carlos!
Love your videos. Very informative 👏
Hands down I think I learn the most from these rc driving tips videos! Seeing the platform on the track makes all the difference 🤘 Great video man🤙💪
This is an awesome video it’s always good to have an extra set of experienced eyes watching and helping you out with pointers.
this track looks awesome!
I was just at Triple Nickel for the reopening today, came home and searched "fast 1:10 buggy lap" and this came up...crazy! I know Speedy ran today.
Excellent! Ryan and Carlos, thankyou for the lesson. Great vid, great track, and I got a lot out of it, cheers.
Great content guys
Awesome video, and information for the inspiring racers!! Keep up the great work my friend!! 👍🏼
Everything that was said here was golden Ryan’s always coming at us with that good info and if you’re just a beginner you’ll soon realize it’s all about the throttle control and making the right decision
thank you for doing these videos Ryan it really helps us stay motivated and see even pro drivers are still learning every day and that keeps us less skilled know learning to be faster isn't everything
Love your content... anything from driving videos, to tuning and setup advice, etc...
As always, great video, both from a videography standpoint and from a raw content standpoint!
One thing I'd like to hear more about is overtaking or general racecraft. I can catch up to and follow most of the guys at my track by now but getting past them cleanly without them basically letting me past because they did a big mistake is something I personally struggle with a lot.
Wow, exactly what you want to do in full size road racing!!! As a driving instructor I guess I'll tell myself the same stuff when I start driving my new Losi 22.5 Elite kit. Thanks a ton for the videos and to TLR. ( the ball diff went together super easy watching the TLR video BTW) 👍
So first off - Carlos - solid rips man, fun to watch you progress! Ryan -I love the format of these ‘improvement’ videos, primarily because you aren’t dictating to Carlos the things he should do or not do. Driver style is as unique as our haircuts, so it’s refreshing to see you ask questions of Carlos and almost watch him figure it out through that process with some light and reaffirming positive commentary from you. I wish South FLA wasn’t a 16 hour drive from Toronto - I’d be there in a heartbeat! Lol. Keep up the good work lads!
Great tutorial and on my local track in Bartow. Super helpful because I run e-truggy as well there. Big up to the homie Carlos doing his thing as always 💪 Thank you Ryan!
good video ryan.keep them coming i get alot of infoout of them. thanks so much.Stay Safe Stay Healthy
Great advice!!! Would be awesome to see sct advice/action as well 🤘 great content as always!
This! Right here! This exact video is the reason everyone should get their start on a track by putting in at least one season in a 2wd anything. Every single point that was made is a technique that is forced upon a 2wd racer if they want a chance to get on the podium.
Awesome vid!!!! E TRUGGY!!!! The premier class!!! 😊🤙
excellent stuff really love this series, thanks for sharing Ryan. Subbed and Liked in support
I'm at work watching this and its getting me fired up to do some virtual rc driving on vrc pro lol
I really enjoyed seeing Carlos improve almost immediately with some basic instruction on running smooth and maintaining consistency. Nice job, Ryan 👍 I had someone tell me once that they couldn't understand why I was faster than them because I looked SO slow, lol. I told them smooth consistent laps are key, the speed will come with time!
nice track, nice car, nice riding!
Maybe a future episode on how to get up to speed quickly on a track? Coming from racing full size cars on road courses, getting up to speed quickly and making the most of your time on track is a huge advantage. Usually I break a track up in sections and focus on the sections that give me the most issues. Then I watch my competitors to see where they lose or gain time to me or make mistakes at. That way I can make sure I am proficient in those sections so I can capitalize if/when they make a mistake. Doing this has translated pretty well into RC racing for me and I'm sure you have your own methods as well. It would definitely be cool to see your process of learning a new track.
Breaking the track up into sections and focusing on one or two during each practice session is something I do all the time! Trying to keep all other sections at a normal speed, then seeing if I can gain is those few key areas.
Also someone with a full size car racing background. First time out on an r/c track was a couple weeks ago. Exponentially harder than I could have imagined.
Nice person, nice track Bartow FL 💪👍
I checked this track out the other day when i was at my dads. Pretty cool! other than Ronnies ( SS ) old Banked oval back in the day. I've never raced dirt Only pavement, not even my RC10 has seen dirt. But I just got mostly done building my buggy and I'm beyond stoked to finally get to throw down on some dirt, it's a bucket list thing! Now that tracks actually exist. SS Would be my local track living in Clearwater.. I have SO much to learn in the dirt world that's for sure!
I think something that is immensely beneficial to driving but not really talked about is how we physically interact with our radios. I noticed in myself that if I focused on keeping the muscles in my upper body, arms, hands, and fingers as relaxed as possible I could control my car on the track much more precisely and consistently. I'd be interested in seeing a video on something like that as well as maybe the mental aspects of driving and maintaining focus.
That’s some good stuff thank you
I would like to see more set videos.thank you so much see you on the next one.
That was good. I race etruggy and ebuggy, like every weekend lol. I’ve kinda plateaued, or even slower down, in the last couple of weeks..I race at mikes in Porter,Tx. So basically all the same things apply to me except for the covered vs non-covered layout...I’m having to teach myself this very same lesson. Don’t force the speed with the throttle. Keep the speed with momentum and better lines. I also hate burning through sets of tires! Lol
Again a nice Vid Buddy :)
Had my first rc race this weekend and I TQ'd sportsman nitro buggy and got a pretty big lead after the first couple laps but then I wrecked three times on the same lap because I got all nervous. I fell all the back to tenth and gathered myself together, put down consistent, fast laps and got all the way back up to second. I can vouch, consistency is key!
Awesome! Great to see they local track on there. Nice to meet you the other day. I’d be interested in see some throttle inputs .. Maybe some Picture in Picture of the car running and hands on the controller. Just an idea.. Also come talk about Camber and when you use 2 degrees of say 1.5 etc .. Thanks
What do you called a latino that has lost his rc car??? CarLos hehehe😂. Sorry Carlos, have a nice day everyone thanks Ryan for your awesomeness and down to the ground type of person 👍👍
See now this is help. Great job Ryan! We need more coach/drivers to help the newbies otherwise they are climbing a hill that seems impossible with some slight coaching you can get the most out of the talent at hand. I spent the last 13 months learning to drive so I could run with Ryan Harris and others but have yet to recieve any proper feedback that would improve my driving and if you want to keep people in the sport like me this will go a long way in doing so. To be fair I think me being in my 40s might have something to do with it plus my personality so I will take some responsability.. Anyway love this all we have is knowledge to pass on when it comes down to it..
The conversation contain pro knowledge . I am a novice I unable to understand it but thanks for the clips dude . Cheera
I personally just try out different lines and speeds while practicing. Reason being the track may be blown out, Traction could be low, etc. So I think it's good to try out different Speeds and lines. This is dope though. I would love to have some help from a seasoned rc buddy. Great Series!
Literally been thinking about these things this weekend. Trying to go too fast, need to slow roll the throttle out of a turn. hard to break a bad habit that has been formed.
I would like to see stuff about setting toe and camber depending on what handling you want
For more two wheel buggy try adding a little more toe in the rear to earn a little extra traction.
Good info! As a side note it would be cool to actually see the lap times so we can get a better understanding of what's happening. As with anything racing, you need consistent info to back up the changes in driving style. Using multiple blocks of test sessions against the clock to try different styles would seem to give good feedback. Again, just my opinion.
How do you not let the nerves get to you. Minute the announcer or timing system mentions my name, especially in the top 3 I crash 🤣
Haha happens to this guy I race with too
There's some great points in this video, go out and be consistent, but also go out and hot lap it a bit too so that you know where on the track you're good and your car is good at being aggressive and where the points are where it's not good to do so.
I will say that in practice I notice I get more aggressive when the track gets more crowded because I want to get around traffic as quickly as possible. I don't know if that's a good stratagy or not, it's how I used to drive oval practices. In my ten years of sponsored oval racing, the more quickly I got around slow traffic in practice made it easier to pass slower cars for me in an actual race. Towards the end of that ten year career I can't really recall a time of not being one of the top three drivers in a race and I had lots of experience driving as the lead car. My driving style was definitely more conservative when I was in the lead, keeping it clean and consistent and then changing to being aggressive getting around slow traffic.
The times I changed my style were when the lead car was holding a better line and I couldn't get a pass. I usually reverted to two options at that point.
1. Stay within a length or two and keep the pressure on and wait for us to come up on back markers and see if an opportunity presented itself. I hated this option, but I would rather finish second than make a bad pass.
2. Back off a few lengths if the third place car was a ways behind us and then start building up speed through the corners so that i could perform a quick pass when I caught up to the leader. This option didn't always work, but it would mess with people when all of a sudden you see the second place car gaining speed and distance on you all of a sudden.
3. I used this one a lot, let third place pass me and then pressure that car into making the pass that I didn't want to take. There were a number of times when I would pass along with that driver and then pass them shortly afterwards and take the lead.
Oval racing was about getting the most out of yourself and the car while also trying to keep the car under control, there was fine line between pushing through the turns and spinning out and I would rather drive a car that pushed and then work towards it almost spinning out and that's where I drove it.
The main point from all this is learning what setup you like and how that setup compliments your driving style. Then also knowing when and where to add more aggressiveness to your driving while always keeping in mind that the aggressive driving could have great payoffs, but it can also be detrimental if used at the wrong time or all the time.
Great video Ryan! My teammates and I always critiqued our driving to make sure we were getting the most out ourselves in each race. I was critiqued by my team for driving a wide line. I was told that I was driving more distance, but I usually had the faster lap times and I also would come off the track with a little extra battery time (in the80's and 90's battery packs usually last four minutes with a little extra if you were lucky). I figured that meant the longer track line through the turns was allowing me to maintain my speed and therefore I was using a little less
battery power. This use to really confuse a few of my teammates and sometimes I was handed the second best motor and second best battery and I would still win the race and have a few seconds of battery to spare.
I would love to see what the hands look like on the radio throughout the features on the track
my personal tips
-let off before takeoff, dont throttle through the face.
-be on the throttle for a landing, never the brakes. i would say 75% throttle.
-focus on tire management. If you kill the car in the first 3 minutes, its only downside when it matters.
-if you arent 100% confident you put the best car on the track (good setup, fresh oils) then don't expect good results. RC is more of a mind game then anything.
basic tips ive inferred while racing short course.
Only tip we need: Full pin all the time
Great vid mate...paerfect track.👑
What the oil dif in the first truggy. Front rear and center... Thanks
He was definitely a lot more consistent than the previous run! Slower is faster because of the fact is that your concerving energy and power and not forcing the vehicle to push in and out of the corners!
I would really like to see a driving lesson video for 2wd buggies and maybe fwd on road cars
That truggy has soo much steering, wow.
I would turn down the epa a bit on that truggy. It’s turning a full 180 on the spot and it’s catching him out. If he had a bit less steering he would have to actually have to drive lines instead of stopping and flipping 180 on every corner. Your advice was sound though. He drives like it’s the last lap of the world championships and he’s trying to catch first . Turn it down to 90% full
Throttle .
You run smoothly and most of the others look like they push it all the time. Kind looks like they are just all over the place. Like you run like you are comfortable and others look really uncomfortable
It all works I just can’t to seem to drive constantly lap in 1/10 carpet off-road an did notice while driving slower is better but when in doubt I pull trigger ty
Nice teaching points. Can you explain why some racers wiggle there wheels in the air.
Mostly this is to adjust the angle of the car to better suit the landing. Sometimes however, it is simply for fun :p
@@RyanHarrisRC oh ok like if your car is side ways this can help correct the angle of it.
Ryan! Thanks for all the videos and the advice. I have a 22t 4.0 stadium truck. I’m having trouble setting up my hobby wing xt10 pro g2 elite. I have a 6.5t motor. I want to make the truck fast. What setting on the esc do you recommend? Thanks man.
Ryan you should try racing E Truggy. You like stadium truck you’ll definitely love E Truggy and I think would do awesome racing one.
The hillbilly class!
@@Jager6969 problem with E Truggy??
I’d like to see a post/pre race “set up” step by step...like first I check ride height, then camber, etc. basically after a race, before the next race
can we get a video on reading tracks for tires and how to judge speed on jumps.
Thats what I'm focusing on consistently. I know hot laps will come in time.
That’s whats up fellas... Great 1/8th video, once again Ryan bringing the knowledge and Carlos Putin it down with the Truggy🔥🔥🔥Question for you Ryan, what’s a good servo for the 1/8 truggy and esc motor combo that’s not going to break the bank?
I would stick with something like the SPMSS6280, or any equivalent 1/8 torque style servo. Motor and ESC I run Hobbywing!
Yes. Well shot (Good angles and camera work) - which can be hard to get right on various track layouts! Nicely done all the way around!
MKS HBL550. It's $100 on Amain, plenty of torque, not too fast, not too slow, and about $40 cheaper than any other equivalents. You can compare the specs yourself on Amain
How about some circle track with no jumps info, that's what we run here, brushless 2wd trucks
Hey Ryan! If youre gonna make more like these have you considered getting a tripod setup like RedRC? that would make youre recording bits easier to focus on what the car is doing different. I know you like buying equipment haha!
how about a video of the "boring" stuff
what equipment, tools, how many batter backs, how many sets of tires/wheels, how much grease/oil/fuel
What about the lingo that is used around the track? Pushing and pulling? The names of different jumps and turns. Stuff like that!!
Oh shoot thats my home track just started going have a little buggy bad rustler but its gonna change to a slash just waiting on battery connectors.
7:48
Much quicker, and smooth
What kind of maintenance do you do after these practice days? General cleaning and overall check? I feel like I like to just go out and drive more then I race.
After a day like this I tear the car down completely and rebuild shocks and diffs. Nitro requires much more consistent maintenance imo
So I’m getting a brand née car for racing could you make a video on how you set up a brand new car if not that’s fine too😀
I know I’m not Ryan but I’ve been racing for some time now and I’d recommend you set up the kit how it shows in the manual and then fine tune the car to your liking. The only reason I say this is because ever track is different so the car would require a different set up. Another good way to do it is to look up someones setup sheet on the internet like a rivkin or mayfield that is for your home track and copy that. If you can’t do either of these and don’t know how to tune your cars try asking people at your local track. This is a super friendly hobby and majority of people will be willing to help you better your lap times.
@@zachmcconnell9971 ok thwbke
Start with kit setup and learn the car! After a few race days, start messing with stuff based on what the local fast guys are doing
Really enjoyed your video, however I feel the title is more the opposite in that it's how to be smooth. I clicked hoping to find a video about how to find that second gear. My problem is I drive to conservative
On a track like this what diff fluid is running that truggy?
Carlos’ problem is a problem we all have 😂
Hey Ryan do you have a link for that hat?
Hmm I think it was a Pacsun find a few years ago. Any black safari style hat will probably do!
I’d like a video about trying to get to that next level. Currently I run on Astro and in 5 minutes I can do a fast 11 laps which puts me top of C Final, I’m always about 5 seconds away from hitting 12 laps, and I seem to be stuck in a rut where I can’t achieve this next step. A final / B final pace is usually in this 12 lap bracket
Sounds like ur not running the same gearing as the fast guys , ask what they are running
@@midwestboss8808 my gears spot on, I’m running Maclan esc & motor, Futaba radio gear, and the latest PR 2wd. I’m in the top half of drivers at the club, just can’t seem to find that last 5 or 10 seconds to take me to the next level
@@ad2332 could be tire management or ur too slow in the corners, feather the throttle more in the corners
What tires are you using?
Still new. What does "case it" mean in reference to jumps?
Not making it all the way to the downside of the landing ramp, slapping the peak of it
What is Carlos running ?
The reason why he's gunning it before the 180 is because she's going to lose so much time when he finally gets to that 180 to make that turn and when he comes to a stop to make that turn he's losing seconds don't forget that
What track is this?
Everyone is so worried these days about turning the wheels in the air. That’s just 1 more thing to mess you up. I understand it helps set up for corners but I seen so many people focus on whipping the car instead of just driving.
👍🇮🇪🏁
Wow a 1000 laps he's just walking threw it then
He needs to put more brake and tuck his car into the track and the corner he also needs to brake sooner
carlos less whips more downsides
He looked faster when he slowed down
