Another good topic would be transmitter settings, like drag brake, throttle speed curve, exponential etc. Slowing the speed down seems to help the older people who start RC who don't have insanely fast reflexes. 2nd recommendation is show examples of big races where a slower guy moves over and lets the leader through. Even the pros let people pass! WAY too many people who are 3-4 laps down think they are going to win still. Teach them how to run a fast lap while letting someone pass. Move a groove up and just let them pass quickly and get back on the throttle. A lot of people quit racing because the new people take the leaders out and ruin their main.
Do these race vehicles use significant drag brake , "engine braking" ?
@@stevenmortensen1257 they use as much as you set on the ESC.
I agree brown I’m 70 so I’m trying
Its really good to see that people care about the other drivers that aren’t doing great strait away.
I got a on track lesson this past week from a seasoned racer and it helped tremendously. Thank you to all you out there that mentor the newbies!
it had happened a few times i had given basic leasons to new drivers (mostly young kids) that struggle the first times at the track, most of the time its that they drives like cowboys forcing the steering left to right.
had done some laps where we both had our hand on the steering so they can feel how smoth and calm they need to steer the car.
and also detune their car to propper "noob speed" as well as mine to eaven slower speed so they get the feel of they got the faster car and do some batteries of "follow and race" me and i race them that inspire to go back to the track as soon as possible.
When Ryan offers advice... Listen
Now that you've done a beginner cornering lesson, do one a bit more advanced. Someone who races a bit but always comes in last or close to it. How does that person improve their cornering? How to approach different corners?
I'd say the most important thing she needs to focus on is being smooth on all the inputs. Not just the throttle, but also the steering. Getting better car control is more important than staying in the racing line for now. When that becomes easier it's less daunting to stay in the racing line and getting the jumps right.
Just my two cents :)
I was about to type out a comment, and then I saw this comment lol
Yes. A good training exercise for beginner car control is a figure of 8. Lots of lefts and rights, braking and acceleration and all at a distance that's easy to see and coach. Use a couple of bits of rope to "pinch" the 8 later on and they have the control basics, without needing track time.
@@donutt64 This is a good start. Also just making a simple track with some cones is a lot of fun as well.
That was awesome that you took the time out to help her out....I wish more rc racers would take some time out to help newbies in this hobby.....nice job sir
I’m no pro but I try to share some of the little knowledge I have with any newcomer. Great way to make friends
Would like to see a video and explain braking into corners a little more, and how your radio is set up for doing that. Thx for the great videos
I have helped other drivers in the past before by lapping a track at 50% of my fastest speed or 75% and letting the beginner try to hang on to my coats tails all the way around the track. Sort of like ghosting on PC driving games. Takes practice but they have a goal they can see right in front of them and helps them to connect the corners together by watching the person in front. - Also try the beginner on their own with 50% throttle maximum and just ask them to try get it around with no mistakes for 5 mins. Them gradually up the max throttle at each and every new run while still trying not to make mistakes.
I don't even need driving lessons but its always a good refresher
😂
Everyone could always use some help 😂
I think Ryan is on a streak here... sooo many videos in the last few days.. that compensates for the lack of them in the last months!
What is a good low budget starter pit set up? What the is a good starting point and budget friendly tools, chargers and etc...? Thanks for the video's keep up the great work. It was cool you helped out JQ.
This is what I'd like to see, I want to get back into it, I ran short course 5 years ago, and alots changed
I always tell the sportsman at my track, the car is faster on its wheels than the roof, hit your line on the track, speed will come with consistency
I want to see one on braking down a track and coming up with how you are going to run each area. Jumping and landing. How to carry more corner speed.
Very cool of a pro to take the time to help a beginner. Nice to see you are not "above" us little people. Keep up the great work Ryan.
sometimes that "slow is fast" is completely true... old saying goes, you can't win the race if you can't finish the race!
The saying is, “To finish first, you must first finish." But close enough 👍
Im new to RC racing myself, and ive watched a lot of your videos over the past month. They've all been a great help, cross your fingers as i airbrush my first body today
She was so much better after being told where to drive. Well done . Looked good jumping to🙂
Amazing lesson, and advice. Thank you Sir, well done!
I know this is a few years old but go Bucs! Trying to learn what I can I am building my first race kit it’s a short course truck.
Biggest timesaver is not crashing. She will learn cornering and get faster over time by practicing if she stays interested and motivated.
A how to race series will be great as I haven’t seen anything like it this far. Nice work
"Slow down and you'll go faster" An adage taught and stressed to me my entire life racing motocross. Smooth, consistent laps, the speed will come. Now, if I could just listen to my own advice when I drive RC cars....
My dad said the same for my motocross practices to
“slow is smooth, smooth is fast”
I run a LiFE pack for practice....it forces me to drive slower while warming up and learning the new layout.
Like driving a car in a parking lot before hitting the street, I spent years of putting my Sand Scorcher around before getting into racing with my Scorpion. Just dated myself.
Maybe you could teach the importance of radio setup. I noticed her car was very twitchy going down on the duel rate and starting curve could help a lot. When I learned about theses settings it made me more comfortable with the car. Please let me know if I’m wrong.
Great video! For a beginner, slow is fast. Go Bucs!
Fantastic video! I've sent it to all of the beginners I know.
Great tips, thanks for sharing.... Just picked up my first RC it's the Losi LMT Grave Digger 👊😁
Ryan I hope.you READ this and SRY ITS LONG.You do great content.Alot of your followers are newbs and could really use the how to's. Thats what we search for most. There is sooo much to tuning and shock setup/ bladders,tires,etc with very little info available. Tons of content you could create and the way you detail things plus your production content is second to none in this hobby. your tire gluing vid was perfect. I came from the fpv drone world and there is 1 single guy guy there that influences 100 percent of that community and I feel you could do that or even better for the rc racing community. His name is Joshua Bardwell (the fpv know it all) and also a personal local friend of mine that now makes his living on TH-cam. Please look him up to see kinda what type of content I'm talking about. Maybe it's for you,, maybe not.. But I super appreciate your content and will absolutely patron if you do more how to vids. Best wishes man.
I love this. Giving back. You are da'MAN
Soo cute, from a dads point of view
We need more of your attitude and attention to help the newest drivers eventually beat the fastest guys!!!!
My shops specialty. Biggest advise to greener driver’s at birthday parties ect...
only turn when in the
corner/hold/releases steering
Apply throttle.
Looking ahead eventually to link corners together.
5mins of practice huge improvements.
Great information easy to understand. Never drove a track just bashing away. This definitely interests me. Now to find a track
experience is the key too , some boys are doing fine because they played video games, they ran thier bike much more when they were kid , but to start understanding race paths quickly i would go to a race video game with help on the path and analyse the path, but experience counted in hours is the key , what I tell my kids is , whatever you do you will become good, just keep on practicing. Dont forget that if you do nothing you'll be good at nothing.
more of these would be so cool, maybe even like a how to land into ramps?
great idea !
I would like some information on the jump and may be explain more the racing line.
After it would be interesting to explain how to prepare to race (how many tires we need, how many batteries etc ....)
great helping Video, last weekend war my first run on a Racetrack and i thought i have to drive very fast and learn to control the car with highspeed. I dont must tell you what was the result. Who thought that drive slow is the way to go fast. I love the Video, you are a good RC driving instructor. Thanks for Videos like this.
@ryan harris you are the man. best and most informational vidoes out there and im a tlr guy too with a 22 5.0 ac and a 22x4. keep in rolling ill be in florida to race with you hopefully soon
i'm a nitro basher..when i tried the track it was not easy to complete a full lap without a mistake..this is good advice..thanks!
Thanks Ryan excellent video !i ll be waiting for the second !!thanks again
Awesome Video and great instruction. Why do people feel the need to downvote quality content?
A thing a THINK I see here.. Is the steering part. Probably she is steering with the wheel, and then letting the wheel go with your fingers. It's something I see A LOT with beginner drivers, it makes the steering of the car not proportion, like it only has right and left, like a toy car. This makes steering for beginners a whole lot more difficult. But I might be wrong off course, but to me it just looks like that in the video. Props to you for helping people out!! Keeps the hobby a lot more enjoyable!
Very good teacher and a very good student which accepts and applies the advice! At my local track I try to give the new guys tips to improve the driving of them. Basically I tell them not to give full throttle all the time, cost the corners and don't jump. Sad thing is that after 2 laps they forget and are back to full throttle and trying to jump :( Sometimes this is really frustrating.
very good advice as usual.will be great to see how the young lady progresses if possible.
Dude, I dig your channel and the subs because of one thing. I don't see one comment that says anything about how "i'm way faster in the same corner" or "you're teaching it wrong", everyone offers positivity and solutions because we were ALL literally there at one point and no-one acts like they weren't. Keep up the awesome content, the good vibes!
For a second i thought your channel was out or something 3 months is a lot between naps man, thanks for the awesome content
Cheers Ryan, been looking for lessons...
Great to see this Ryan, helping the next generation of racers rather than putting them off, especially girls. Good man.
Good to see that I am not alone with my Challanges as a beginner! Greetings from Overseas Germany!
You have the "the cool young guy who teaches newcomers the hobby/sport" kinda look and that is what happens here. The vid just got recommended to me and as I returned to this hobby these kind of informative videos will be helpful and also enjoyable. Looking forward to more of these, subbed as well.
for the next video I'd like to see a guide to setup adjustments and how to find the sweetspots for different terrains
Could you do a vid on like advanced driving skills like whipping and thinks like that
Slow is smooth, smooth is fast 👍🏻
I recognize that signature it’s almost like I have it on my body. LOL watch out ryan she gonna be hunting you down soon.
This will be a great series! Hoping there will be an episode in jumps and control in the air! I need it!
Really awesome to see an experienced racer helping a new racer. These are valuable lessons for a new driver to learn. Well done man!
First, I’ve been looking for this exact series and here it is! Really excited about this. What I want to know most right now is, where should I look while driving? Right at the car? Front wheels? How do I “see” the racing line ahead without looking into the next corner? I tend to lose control instantly after looking ahead, whether it’s due to traffic/crash ahead or Marshalls on the track or even while checking out the next corner. Thanks Ryan!!!
This is great stuff Ryan!!! I can’t even fret around the track without wrecking or jumping off the track. But I was also going at it balls out and I know I have no business doing so at my complete lack of experience. Looking forward now to starting over and just keeping a steady pace in the grip. I’ll try jumps later.
So that’s a beginner lesson I would like to see... how best to line up straight and then body control with the throttle while in the air and being able to land and not nose in or back flip.
So how about simple jump tactics 101.
Great stuff man and I am ANXIOUSLY awaiting your next one!
Look at that track! How can you even see the corners and judge depth from so far away.
Agreed
I need set up lessons
Bought a 1/28 scale associated sc. Truck 2 days ago. Turned my entire basement i to a track with cardboard ramps/jumps. Nostalgia galore.
Ryan you are a great embasador to this sport/hobby keep it up.
great advice..this mentality actually won me my first small, beginner/intermediate 3 race 1/8th scale championship..i was nowhere the fastest on any of the 3 tracks..but i just tried to stay on the line and keep it clean. and i won the overall championship by a couple of points even tho i did only podium one race of the whole championship with a second place. and this second place was not because i was fast, just because of nearly no mistakes and clean driving..there were much faster guys, but they could only hang on to that speed for 3laps before they would crash.
totally agree that the way to go is a clean line slow at the beginning. even a national champion told me that if i keep driving that way it´s great, because with clean lines and clean driving speed will come on it´s own after time. but the foundation is right allready...
Been watching you for awhile... After a 25 year relapse I'm again wanting to get out race my rc cars... Video was very helpful, keep em coming!!!
Great video. Nice to watch mortal people learning how to improve themselves. Consistency is key! Especially at club racers level. Better be slower without being marshalled than faster but crashing all over the place. At my local track, we do 5 min training sessions and it's the driver who has to Marshall his own car! The walk of shame! A fantastic way to be more consistent hence faster. Top drivers are super fast but most of all, they are incredibly consistent .
One useful thing I believe is learning to use your peripheral vision. One way I’ve found to explain it is like this. You still always want to be looking at your car, but at the same time directing more of your focus on what’s around you. Another thing I think would be good for this is teaching that throttle control, and how to time your corner entry and exit correctly, and being comfortable with it.
So cool to see this. I got a Losi min t 2.0 brushless fro Christmas now I have the racing. Mainly all my RC experience is in crawlers and monster trucks. So this series is awesome.
This is such a great thing to see you doing Ryan.
My observation was she did not steer proportionally, it seemed to be all or nothing.
I dont know if this translates to RC tracks but I did a track day at a racimg circuit and the professional driver had me driving the track without using brakes. What this did was focus you on corner entry, position and speed. The goal of the first day was to get the quickest lap time and not use any brake.
Great to see videos like this, there are so many out there about modifications and equipment, but not many on how to actually drive a track fast. Looking forward to the next video :)
Started watching your videos last week, picked up my first RC that I have intentions on racing (not just bashing) and I would love to see more of these!
And that's what it's all about. Helping others and creating a healthy fun environment. Great job. I been driving a year and you can always relearn the basics better.👍🏽💯
Thanks Ryan for helping us newbies out Like the advice you gave. An episode on steering then jumps would helpful.
I love everything about her energy and how she picked it up pretty well not to mention looking really pretty doing it, awesome work Ryan!
We did a little thing at our track where different "seasoned" drivers taught a class on the aspects of the RC world from driving to setup and maintenance .. I know that this is basically what you are doing to help others enjoy RC !!!
Excellent 👌 people forget that a clean lap is faster that blasting from corner to corner and making mistakes... Transmitter set up was a massive help for me starting back.
I'm going to really like this series..I haven't been in an actually race yet and I've only been on a track 3 times. I run indoor carpet which is my local track. TLR 22 5.0 Ac is my buggy. I think this will really help me focus on certain racing aspects and cant wait to see more of these. I'm goping my first race day will come up soon. Thanks Ryan
Ryan, this is a great video, as well as a great idea for a series! Thank you for the time and effort you are putting into your videos, as well as mentoring new drivers!! 👍👍👊
Awesome video.. your comment about connecting the track made a ton of sense.. never looked at it that way. Excited to see where this series goes. Keep up the great content!
I’m new to racing and I learned more from this video than I have since beginning. Thank you and look forward to future videos on this subject
mr. Harris this new series is going to be great. Can’t wait for more videos like this to come. There’s a lot of new drivers that’s willing to learn.
Ryan you just continue to impress me over and over with all your videos. For someone just getting back into RC, your channel is pure gold. I appreciate all the hard work and detail you put into your videos. Keep it up!
that's awesome Ryan! great to see an est racer like you helping out a beginner. btw, sent this to my son. he's 9 & loves to go fast, but we built a 22 Elite recently & he trying to get better.
Its so tuff being a squid but she's doing a great job not giving up its the only way to improve.
I love the fact that your helping a beginner driving a associated and not a losi. The sport over a brand for the greater good. Your a ambassador for the sport.
That video by YOU is like a dream come true! And I love the idea of making a series out of it
Thanks Ryan. This is how we grow the hobby. This is also how i learn to stop breaking my car. Thanks again.
THIS is the series I have been waiting for. And by the perfect teacher. Thank you Ryan.
Awesome Idea Ryan! Looking forward to this series!
Now....
please, PLEASE do some lessons for us intermediate racers!
Give us some real time commenting while driving, like how you're approaching a corner/jump/rhythm section/etc, and why. Things like, whether you are on the throttle, off the throttle, or coasting.
Thank you.
One thing I struggle with is seeing the car at distance. My eyesight is ok. I just find I can't see the angle of the car or wheels. Without that feedback I tend to oversteer or understeer.
Charl south africa, Awesome Video Really Appreciate, which can do more to seport Your channel, YOU ROCK, MAN
Love your videos Ryan! One thing I'm really interested in but kinda confused/overwhelmed by is radio setup. I'm struggling for what will help me as a simple baseline with my new (Futaba 4PM) radio. I think you've touched on it in other videos but would love a dedicated video on it.
Good advice, the racing line or groove will be the shortest path around any track. By shortest I mean less time per lap equalling more laps. Slow and not crashing adds experience.
Practice, Practice, Practice. Start slow and work on driving consistently and driving the right line (even practice drawing out on paper, or tracing the preferred line to know where you want to be). Slow is smooth, smooth is fast. As that becomes easy, start doing the same thing, but a little faster. Keep doing that. Over time, practice will help you develop a feel for it. But the only way to get that feel is to practice. The more you practice, the sooner you practice, the sooner you'll get better. Initially, you're going to suck. Nothing wrong with that. Just persist, knowing that you Will get better. Focus first on not crashing, before focusing on going faster. And when you practice, focus on doing it right, and focus on doing something better than last time. Driving around aimlessly is not practicing, for practice to help greatly, you need to actively and intently be focusing and trying to improve on at least one aspect of what you are doing. If what you're doing isn't working, experiment. Make multiple attempts, trying something different each time. Failure is a better teacher than success as well, keep that in mind. You learn more, and faster, from failure than you will from repeated successes, so don't be afraid of screwing up and letting that deter you.
Hi Ryan great video on cornering so I hoping you can help me I have a losi 22 2.0 rear motor and I’m looking at buying a team associated b6.3 how much difference will there be ????
Great video!!! Congrats on super bowl... I’m a cowboys fan. It’s a struggle now. Lol. Good concept for practicing. Many don’t understand the power in consistency and slow rather than fast and crashes.
Could you possible help me with a Florida outdoor set up in the panhandle? Any help would be great! Love the videos still running stock 22x-4!
Car looks good....but twitchy.....does she hold the wheel the entire time....looks like she let's the transmitter snap back.....she gonna be hard to beat when she gets it down....
My 1st race car was a T4.1 rtr just to see if i liked the whole club thing.
when i upgraded to a spectrum dx3e, highspeed servo and the factory team rear tow blocks i wasnt much faster until someone set up my radio and my steering expotential and explained how i should dial it in for my self.
Definitely a jumping episode and basic maintence vid would be sick
I like this type of video. Would also love to see some more in depth videos for new guys like me. I understand what you mean by the racing line, but how do you find it? Also how do you know when to break and when to accelerate throughout the track? And what can you do to get smoother turns? I’m so jagged when I turn. The fine motor skills are lacking lol
Dude this series is gonna help out sooo many people! Awsome man! 🤘🏼
