My tip.. if the organizers ask for some marshals, step in there. It may be not ideally at some point sometimes, but everytime you are helping the organization, it could help you when you are running out of time to prep, or repair your car just before that one final. You can not expect to get respected, you will be respected if you put in some extra energy. ✌🏼☺️
What comes around goes around baby preech^^
That buddy system helped so much! Me being new to RC I went to my first RC race so unprepared but I was helped by all the guys at the track with some tires, a transponder and setting up my buggy to race. Best hobby I’ve been in so far
As a track owner/promoter, the buddy system is the greatest thing to see. The battery thing is also a great idea. Whenever we travel to race or get new drivers I suggest have 4 batteries fully charged at the beginning of any race day. You never know if you'll lose power to charge them for whatever reason
Chargers do break, ask me how I know!
I had a charger crap out on me at a race in another state, thankfully I had some cool guys next to me to help out!
That extra battery isn't a joke. It actually came in handy literally yesterday during my race. They said that we are going to do an extra round of races because it wasn't a big event. So after my last race (so I thought) I started packing up and someone told me that we had 1 more round. So lucky me I had an extra battery to rock n roll to finish the night although I wasn't doing well 😅
I've always had a three pack rule for race day, this way one is charging, one is cooling and one is ready to run. this helps lower the stresses on the batteries, especially with lipo's and you always have a battery ready or close enough to use effectively
need to get an extra pack as i got two packs as i needed new batteries after a 15 years brake from racing rc and got a brand new xray xb2-22 and budget dont alow to get all those fancy hudy parts and an armada of lipos at the same time so 2 lipos will do it for now.
Top shelf commercial. Well done.
I don’t know many people that do this but I always check camber and ride height with the car and transmitter on. This way the steering is always centered as it will be on the track
The buddy thing helped a lot. I race Kyosho Mini Zs and at my first race, I broke my motor wires and I had no idea what to do, so other people stepped in and got me back up and running. It’s such a nice community.
I really appreciate the comments you made about the buddy system and growing the sport. I recently moved states and am looking into local tracks and shops and it's been terrible. At one shop I asked the guy working the counter if they had a beginners class bc I had my daughter with me and he didn't even look up from his Associated instruction manual to answer me. When we walked around to the pit benches, everyone gave us the stink eye and at that point I decided that this is NOT the track/shop for me! There is one more track that I'm hoping will be more beginner friendly but I'm keeping my expectations super low. 😔
#5 is the best tip!! Buddies have saved me soo much on race day when something broke and I didn't have the spare. Also that mentality you have about helping someone and hoping they do the same later is awesome! When I started flying the local fpv drone community had this mindset and I was treated with lots of free gear when a group of us got together. Now that I've been in it for a few years I get to give when we get together. It's awesome!!
That last one is great! My first race, everyone in the pits came to my table to introduce themselves to me and my son. 👍 I was even given some very useful items to borrow for the evening for a few new friends. 🤘 The other tips are very welcome. I only did a nut and bolt check the next morning. Your tips and content are awesome!
Another pretty obvious tip : We have a saying that if you bring a part for your car that is subject to breaking, then you won’t break it. But if you don’t bring it, you will, inevitably break it. Have plenty of spare parts people, unless you have a shop with all the parts you need.
Buy two kits but only build one is a pretty solid backup plan
For checking my camber, I 3D printed myself some plates that bolt on to the hub and they give me an accurate camber reading every time, I also put some fingers on them so that way I can measure and adjust my front toe
It's appreciable to get some details like you share, simply said and in a comprehensive way, even for someone where English is not his native tongue.
Best thing I do when I'm racing is be kind to everyone, right before the final when everyone is getting ready I wish goodluck to all my rivals, I always go to speak to them after the race or quali sessions (if i'm first or last, no difference) always be a respectable driver and they will respect you, gives you more allies and less "enemies" even though I find it stupid that people still find enemies in this hobby, some guys don't like me because I only come once in a while and I'm quite decent so some of them are pissed and some of them like me for how likeable I try to be around people, so the tip should be "be humble if you win and congratulate when you lose" that's how you build respect
Well, best tip would be...have a cigar with you, it may be your first win and you want to celebrate! 😁😁 haha great video. Cheers mate
Thank you Ryan! Great video. Also: If you’re the guy who gets mad and stomps off the drivers stand every time you drop below 3rd place (and it’s always someone else’s fault of course) STOP IT! You’re setting a terrible example for any kids who might be racing, or even just there to spectate. You’re also causing tension within the entire pit area. I stopped racing at my local track for that very reason. This attitude spread over time and it is contagious. Oh, and the clicks, oooh the clicks. “I’m friends with the owner , so I can act like a spoiled brat al over the place, even though I’m in my mid 40s’…)
Here’s another tip, be nice, be helpful, and for gods sake, stop checking your lap times during the next race when you’re supposed to be marshaling. 😤🤣😂
Fantastic!! Got a tip I don’t use out of this one!! Most important tip here…….#5. 👏👏
Love to hear it! Thanks Brad 🤘
I had to pause the video where you were talking about helping others, building a buddy network for a positive type of environment, paraphrasing some but the message is really important. Here in Memphis, about 20 years back, it started out as a positive environment and slowly turned into a negative one. The hobby became a choir, more like work than having fun racing and bonding with other like minded people. It was horrible. I sold all my kits, batteries and receivers, etc. Sold everything and just walked away. Fast forward to about 3 maybe 4 weeks ago, I got back in touch with my "Low Bucks Racing" partner, TJ and he mentioned to me that he got out as well but he didn't sell all his stuff. He went on to tell me that Tamiya is coming back to Memphis after being away for almost two decades. The race is June 11th and I'm back, starting off slow to see how the environment is and make an informed decision at that point. I just had to share that story because you hit the nail on the head Ryan, thank you for saying that.
daaaang...skillshare...thats a big deal! Congrats man! Awesome content as always!
Nice vid Ryan! You should show us how you build a ball diff and gear diff next
I agree with your buddy system tip. It definitely makes it more fun when you have friends at the track.
I’m a HUDY FAN.
I have the HUDY board with 1/8 & 1/10 scale sticker and 4 wheel toe camber and caster jugs. Love it. Good tips
The last tip are the most important one to keep our passion in this hobby! Thanks Ryan👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼happy 2022 to come 🍀🍀
Ryan I enjoyed your tips thank you for taking the time to help us newbies it helps a great deal.
Man your videos have really taught me a lot since I’ve started in rc racing the past few months, can’t wait to meet you at masters of dirt in couple weeks, an possibly seeing what I can do
Love your last tip....we need an awesome enviroment
I always charge an extra 3-4 batteries loll one or 2 just for practice, and the others for backup or if someone else needs one last second i have one ready.
Good job on the partnership!
Your Pro - Tips are off the hook !
Thank You !
Love the video man trying to watch all of them keep up the good work
Me and my dad are getting ready to start racing his old rc10 from the 80s hopefully we can just be competitive
Thanks Ryan! Your time & vids are appreciated! 🤘🏻🏁☠️
Another great video!! Need to do more of this myself. Keep up the great work
Will definitely put these to use!! Fairly new to racing! The buddy system is great advice!! Nice video!!
Tip 5 is way more important than any of us realize.
Ryan, may your attitude bleed into the soil of this sport. It needs it.
Ryan I just wana say your awesome and I love watching all of your content! I’m bran new at rc racing and still have not went to my first event as an adult so all of these tips will help for when I do hit a race day!
Im new to rc racing and building a car at the moment! Definitely some good tips!!
Ay man, just subbed after watching a ton of your vuds, great work man, you do a great job to promote the hobby.
That Mains bump up scenario is definitely real so I now have extra batteries
Another great video mate. Awesome as usual! Keep them coming!
Monster Energy needs to step there game up! The R/C community deserves there support….
Awesome videos keep it up Ryan really enjoy them!
My man back with another vid! You need to come out to Phoenix some day!
Just had my 1st race and first ever rc race at New Zealands smallest club.. and it was a eye opener as the new guy, had to shake the hands and do a self introduction. The club runner is doing it all on his own big ups to him. But had got alot if new younger guys in with old buggies it's the old timers and evidently NZ number 1 driver did not even say boo! Or nothing.
Been out for a while. Looked at a vid and resubscribed because your cinematic skills are insane
Love to see it! Thanks dude
Good stuff once again Ryan!
Great work,your fantastic for the RC community.
would love to see you do a video on your production quality and equipment. Your videos are so fun to watch and the audio/video is on point, with almost always seamless transitions. Would you mind sharing your process and equipment??
This was a great and very necessary video thanks.
Legend vid my bro.
Go fast and have fun
Great tips Styles 💪🏾💯
One extra tip for adjusting the camber is if possible have a set of front and rear (new) wheels for adjusting just incase one of your used wheels is buckled slight
Great ride height tutorial!
Awesome commercial!
Dirt bikes make everything better lol
I crash a bunch (don't always break) and am surprised how much the toe and camber can change if you don't check after every qual. Good tips.
Great tips 👍🏻🏁
Appreciate your content man
Great vid as always Ryan! Keep them coming! Are you going to the Florida Carpet Nationals?
I’m a solid maybe as of now haha
One more tips to prepare myself for race is to share this kind of tips video to others. Especially to the new guy...
The quality of your videos are amazing!
Btw for a complete newbie, what type of Rc car should I look at electric? 2 or 4 wd? Etc etc
..that body is sick… the shadow behind the flames..
Keep up the good work man!
Can you make a video how you clean your car without taking it apart, and what you use for products and why?
Great tips I’m guilty of not doing three of these 😅
Tip 5 is something I did on my second time at the track, another driver had parts fall off his car and as mine was already playing up I pulled the parts of my car and handed them over to keep them going.
Good vidéo and tip👍
great video
Thanks Ryan for all the info in the vids. Looking to get my first buggy racer. Where can I get the ride gauge set from, any recommendations would be appreciated. Thanks for the vids.
These particular ones are the Jconcepts brand. Most sites carry them! Check beachrc.com
Thank you looking at the site now. Also for a newbie any buggy recommendations. I watched your vid on buying used vs new.
We need to see more fishtank :)
Nice tips
Great work love the tips one question is hobby wing your esc of choice or is there better race esc
Yay new video!
Big fan 🏁🤙
Tip #6 ....wear your crisp Roost t-shirt on race day 😅
14:50 There were Monster Energy girls at the reedy races a few years ago
Well said,!
Ok ...I'm at the track and I've brought an extra batt...and by heat2 the extra is a lil less than 1/3 of on cell of extra batt. Is down...wtH...help
I have always herd you are supposed to put tire sauce on the pit board because the tire on a dry board will keep it from setting all the way down to your ride height just wondering what your thoughts were
Buddies are a great thing to have Hey Ryan its Kyle Kendall
Make sure your surface is "dead" when you set the ridehigh. Some tables will "spring" a little and then your ridehigh will not be correct.
Your right fork SHOWA decal is upside down
Listen, it helps me with right turns obviously
Never use red use blue lock tight, and if the screw can’t get loose use your soldering iron to heat the screws and they will brake free.

My next sponsor will be made in part with Beatonfilms? 🤷♀️
@@RyanHarrisRC ohhh now we’re talking.
Greetings from UK!
Is there anybody out there that carries a spare radio?
I have had two crashing or dying and spoiling the day.
Great tips from a pro.
Hey Ryan, I'm trying to get a handle on reading setup sheets and optimizing my 2WD carpet buggy (B6.1). How much does the motor choice affect the setup? I can't imagine a mod buggy utilize the same setup as a 17.5 as the speeds are so different.
BTW I miss your cool Musical Intros. Need to bring them back. Just saying ...
Hey Ryan. Got a question for you. I have a Traxxas slash vehicle that I race as a dirt oval car. The chassis brand new has slop. how do you get accurate camber measurements with all the slop that's in the chassis. Even replacing parts does not take the slop out. How would you go about checking camber to get a repetitive or acurate reading?
The best advice here is about the race buddies. Things are so much better without everyone being so cutthroat.
I have a question does anyone know a good website to get parts for a hot bodies Cyclone D4 buggy
Ryan Harris... I was 14 and racing a 10LSS onna carpet oval...Those guys that you were talking about that didn't wanna share nothing. Were there. I've been in an out of the hobby for years...I've raced everything from 1/8, to electric 1/12....
I've finally been able to afford a B64 with top tier electonics..(better than my Novak Atom)..and I'm scared to take it to the track...cuz I've ran it across my street a few times..and tell you the truth? the speed scaares me.
13.5 motors nowadays are like 9T drag motors from back in the day... I"m also 20 years older than then...shoot. I'm now turning into your grandpa. any tips for an old salt?
Race what’s popular and focus on having fun!
A tip our experts shared with an older gentleman at my track was to turn your punch / throttle expo down from box settings to get used to it, maybe even the steering rate a bit. That’ll make it less squirrelly on throttle and easier to control. I ended up doing the same and shaved seconds off my own lap times! Slow is smooth, smooth is fast! Best of luck my friend!
Tip5😎🤘
Very interesting.
How many battery should we take to make races ?
1 per car with an extra if possible
Do you use the same buggy for indoor carpet and then dirt or clay?
Wish you would have showed how to set toe.
Maybe you've answered this question before, but what kind of humidor are you rocking in the background?
I don’t recall the brand name, but it’s an electronic controlled system! Temp and humidity are all set and work great 👍
Hey Ryan, what battery leads are those?
Failing to prepare is preparing to fail
What suspension and oil do you use because im new to racing and my shocks are bone dry and pretty useless compared to yours
If you could buy one rc kit, which one would you recommend or buy?
2wd buggy! Largest 1/10 class by far
This has always confused me. What locations on a rc buggy or truck do you check ride height and does it change between manufacturers and models?
Generally on the rear you check just ahead of the rear arms. You don’t have to check both sides in off-road. On the front of the car, check just behind the front arms
@@russellthomas4693 thanks 😊
"waking up suspension"
Oh boy if i do that with my 1/8th scale truggy the table is gonna break
Have you ever bashed rc cars or have you always been in the racing category?
