Changing turnbuckle mounting locations will raise/lower your roll center. I run clay oval so i play around with roll centers more than someone who races similar to yourself. Raising the camber link on the chassis lowers your roll center and causes that shock/spring to act stiffer than what it really is making your car more stable and seem stiffer, vice versa lowering the camberlink on the chassis raises your roll center and causes the shock/spring to act softer than what it really is making your car softer and in my case roll over on the RF faster and easier giving me more bite off the LR
As a new X-4 driver was using the Dakota setup and doing horribly at our local track. So I took a chance last night before today's club race and reset the car to Ryan's setup. The difference was night and day. Far more stable and drivable (at least for me). Still feeling out how hard the car can be driven now, but so far have yet to reach the car's limit. Going to use Ryan's 22 5.0 setup when time come to assemble that car. :) Thanks Ryan. Love the setup and loving the informational videos. It is helping me get back into 1/10 off-road racing after 15 years out of the hobby.
Thanks for sharing these videos and setup tips! I'm a total noob to this and finding these setup and driving tip videos super helpful. You explain everything in a way that is easy to understand with what effects what. Keep up the good work
I've been racing RC off and on for about a year and people have tried to help me, but I just don't understand. I watched a few videos about the slipper and got a basic understanding, but that's a difficult topic so I'm going to watch more. But to make my job easier I'm making playlist of each topic and after I do that I'll go back through and start taking notes. Learning all this stuff is hard so the playlists are to help other people and make it easier for me to take notes in each category, and the notes are so i understand it, and I can go back to important information later. Anyway... you probably didn't want to read all that and I don't blame you, but I will say I like these videos that don't just tell you HOW to do each thing... but tells you WHY to do each thing and WHAT exactly it is each thing does. So basically... my main point: videos like this help the most, and taking notes (with illustrations...even if they don't look great) will help you learn,understand, and ask questions if you need to.
i love rewatching to get all the details from your videos. may i suggest some text and graphics around you and your hands? easier for audience to visualise the concepts you are explaining. Im learning a lot from you! Cheers.
Thanks Ryan for all the R/C content, absolutely love all your videos! Been out of the R/C scene for 20+ years and recently got the bug and I’m back heavier than I’ve ever been. I never raced till now and gotta say I look forward to all your videos. I would love to see a video of your finger work on the remote when running a track. Kinda like a split screen, close up on the remote on one side and track driving on the other. I know it’s all what’s comfortable for your style but your driving and set up are dang close to mine. Keep up the awesome videos! PS don’t apologize for that sweet transition screen, don’t even say your about to do it.....just do it!!
Thanks Ryan, only been racing for one year. Last year learned how to drive with little to no set up changes. This year I've been trying different things. This video gave me some good tips.
Be nice explaining what all the settings do. I.e camber 0 camber gives you the most tyre surface area. Adding camber gives you lest tyre contact area but at the same time gives you more turn in. Toe in also gives you more turn in but you lose straight line stability. You mention shock oils in your video but you don’t need to change them. You can change the thickness of your sway bars. If your car bottoms out ride height is another option, springs too. The first thing is selecting the right tyre. If you car slides does not grip at all it’s just a waste of time trying to adjust the mechanical options. I would love a video explaining the timing options for hobby wing speed controllers. Adjusting these options can help loads. Slipper clutch is another great option to. To much wheel spin when trying to put the power down this can be a great option but you can also fix this with speed controller .. love the videos .. watching from the uk
Hey Ryan, for a newbie, i just wanted to say your videos are amazing. Concise, just the right amount of technical information and well spoken! Thanks from Wales UK!
This video was very helpful! I bought my first kit and I've never raced any type of RC in my life. Found out there is an indoor carpet track 15 mins from me. I got the Tlr 22 5.0 AC and I have everything ready to go! Cant wait to get on the track for my first time practicing. Thanks for the tips!
Most tracks here in UK are shut because of "new normal", may never go back so maybe rc is dying here in UK as no track's will cause shops to close = no shops, no tracks, no tracks, no shops. Spent £5000 maybe more for 2 new cars, 2 older, electrics, spares..... Full hobby setup in February too. Now seems Wasted, lol. I'll keep watching and hope you all have fun. Thanks for awesome content BTW.
I'm really annoyed about RC in the UK. It just seems so dead compared to in the US :/ Just got myself a new 1/8 nitro and having fun bashing but i'd love to race one day.
@@desterse3948 well if the sheep keep doing what they are told there will be no RC racing in UK, take all the fun out of rc and what's left = a dead hobby. I hope people get a grip and ignore all the nonsense but the BRCA is the governing body and like a conditioned lapdog are making Laws for the governments advise and adding there own fun kill rules also....... Hope they happy when they make rc dead in the uk, and their own organisation even too. They need to think!!!
Re your description about generating grip or loosing grip with the hub heights - I prefer to think of it as generating grip or exploiting the grip that is available.
Thanks bud perfect timing. Doing my first race this weekend. Daytona ovel 10th 13.5 buggy. Can't wait set up going simple. Just want it to stick and I can stay on the gas.
Great video. The right tires choice indeed makes a huge difference! Then agree, you can make changes but one at a time otherwise it gets confusing... thanks for sharing your tips! 👍
Legend has it Ryan Harris wants to race Blooming Prairie RC Park in MN. Very informative video. Million thanks for putting it out there. I will be telling people about this at our driver meeting tomorrow!
This video could’ve been better, Ryan.... It could’ve been much looooooonger! 🙂😉 Serious now, set-up is a topic where a lot can be talked about, but not always easy to explain or make someone understand. Your approach was superb and is much needed by a lot of drivers. Often people explain e.g. what camber means (and that is good), but not what you could do to reduce e.g. understeer or what to do when it starts raining on astro or... What steps should be taken or considered first? It’s easy to loose direction and when someone like you tells about his strategy or way of thinking it can make a big difference. So a big thank you for the video and yes the production is awesome too! 👊🏻🙂
i learned in a few weeks by just watching how the car was moving. im no racer, but if you just watch.. you will learn! watch how the car goes over bumps... does the main car stay level without much movement, or is it all bouncy etc etc
/sigh I wish the middle east coast had RC tracks. 20 years ago, we had a couple, and I used to race every weekend. Everything is gone now. I really want to do this again. :(
Thanks for this man! Im just getting back into RC after a 15ish year break (time to introduce my lil boy to rc racing). I just built a 22 5.0 and 22x4 and was having a bit of anxiety about getting them dialed in, especially since I will be running them on turf and clay. Ive got a better understanding of what each tweak does now. Thanks again!
Great vid as always, not sure if this already exists but it would be nice if the Rc manufacturer had setup apps specific to models that made it easy to document setups on our phones.
I never feel “dialed” from my own tweaks… sometimes the track comes to me, other times i’m driving the best i can with what i got, but i rarely make a change during the race… tires.. maybe rear ride height if its getting extra slippy
Thank you for focusing on getting a good setup and driving the car. "FAST" parts are cool, but not everybody needs to go spend all that dough when it wont really help.
Great video! So well laid out and excellent job bridging all the various brands with approaches that apply to all RC. Thanks for putting the time into this!
hey glad i came across your page lots of good info. So my buddies invited me to come to an indoor track here. They all have the TLR 22 setups, some 2wd some 4wd. I was just curious i can only afford one right now. Most of my RC's i have are 4wd, seem more comfortable that way, but just thought i'd ask what do you think is the best way to go for me.
Hey, Ryan. have you ever made use of electronics (accelerometer, gyro, IMU, microcontrollers) to analyze your traction circle after (or during) a run as other motorsports like F1 do? They're used to monitor and analyze grip usage to maximize the utilization of grip. If you haven't, do you know anybody who has? If not, any idea why people aren't doing this at high levels of RC racing?
Always enjoy your videos and certainly appreciate the effort in putting out quality videos. Wondered if we'll be seeing a TLR 22T 4.0 anytime soon? Haven't seen a ST on your wall or bench in some time. Cheers!
So I am assuming when u change the insert to raise or lower the hinge pins u have to reset ride height? I am a 90s early 2000 rc guy and this adjustment wasn’t available back in the day lol
Do you have/ notice a correlation between ride height and shock oil? ie: lower ride height, higher shock oil to prevent slapping. I race black carpet, and tend to traction roll coming off this one tabletop into a 180, where i see many cars fully compressed and turn fine. My thought is 1) lwr ride height 2) raise roll center in rear, inner ballstud down. I can also see my inside tire lift when braking hard into a sharp corner from a long straight and sometimes it generates a traction roll. I would just like the rear to slide a bit more when sharp cornering. Another question too: how does diff height effect handling? B6.2 carpet kit has diff at the top, which is strange when you think about cg
17:00 if you force people to give you information they will either give you wrong information to send you down the wrong path, or they will just tell you what you want to hear so that you will leave them alone.
Carpet setups will have stiffer springs and heavier shock oils, lower ride heights, higher diff and hub positions, different tires and sometimes extra parts for things like sway bars, chassis braces etc.
Great Video Ryan! I've been following your channel for some time and I love your videos! This one in particular very interesting! The next race I'm sure I'll take your advice! Thank you!!
Ugh tires.... why I like turf more than dirt lol... don’t be afraid of change. If you see it change it .. after races it is too late.. don’t do the I can drive past it ..
Hi Ryan, from Australia. What do you think are the best shocks for the TLR 22 5.0 elite? I have a 22 5.0 elite and have changed from the big bore shocks to the 4.0 ones. Are you still running those anymore? All I’ve noticed is that your shocks seem gold or bronze and have a shorter cap? Thanks and keep up the great work in promoting the hobby.
Ryan... you are a class act man. For all the new aspiring racers out there (yours truly) ... Step 1. Find Ryan’s channel and sub!!! You’re a true asset to the hobby man. I am brand new to this addiction and found myself saying ahh! So that’s it!!! often in this video. Thanks so much for your help vids man and please keep them coming! Fellow racer gave me a b5m roller with motor to get me started besides driving our Slashes. It’s nice to get this help to know what to do with it. As soon as I save the pennies to gear it up I’ll have already watched this video a hundred times! Lol thanks again brotha!
Hi Ryan, I’m getting back into the hobby after about a 16 year absence. Most of the tracks around me in Minnesota are carpet or Astro. My issue is there is carpet and dirt cars now. I would like to travel Nationally and race both carpet and dirt but don’t want to purchase both cars. What is your opinion on this. Want to have fun but don’t want to break the bank doing it.
Question, hopefully you can get back to me on. So fairly new to the sport, I am driving fairly well, not perfect as I’m still learning the ropes, but when the car goes into a corner it pushes a lol bit. But if I can use the brake, the ca rotates how it needs to, which is great. BUT, most of the time I touch the brakes and the car whips around on me. Kit setup, moved the battery back one position. High bite clay at Ocrc in Huntington!
Sweet, wasn’t sure if that affected deceleration as much also. That kinda leads me to my next question. Elite comes with 3.5 shocks, willing (local tlr driver) and a lot of other drivers run the 3.0, with the tlr blue lf up front and a associated white in the rear. Is it worthwhile to grab that shock package over the 3.5’s?
Nice production man. I have a question. Anybody can answer. What would make a car go right although the wheels are straight, camber and toe ins checks out?
Assuming the steering trim is set to center, this would most likely be lack of grip due to too much throttle application. Try to develop some precise throttle to keep the car straight!
So on the different tire tread depth (slick, ghosted, full pin) do you have all of those tread depth in each compound? How do you know what tires to get and sand down if you have little or no recon?
I really love the share vehicle idea. I started with a slash 2wd and ran that at my track. Built a Tekno SCT 410SL recently and took it to the same track. Struggled a bit with nose diving and asked a guy with experience to drive it for me and see what he thought. Turned out it was a bit of driver error and a bit of suspension setup. He told me what he did while driving to help correct it. Took it out myself and did what he said to do and it worked. Got better but now need to tune the car. Definitely helped knowing it was mostly driver error 😂
@Ryan Harris do you live down in Florida? I’m moving down there in a few months, it be Kool to meet up at some tracks n see the Florida track life. I’m from Ny
What am I looking at when I accelerate my SCT 3.0 and it just spins out in a straight line?? Dirt low grip track?? I have to accelerate so slowly it’s ridiculous??
All this talk about tires, makes me think it's time for the industry to get the tire game under control once and for all. Every track, or at least every major regional/national/Worlds event IMO, should run a spec tire and maybe even limit how many sets you can use on a raceday/weekend. It's such a big weekly expense and question mark for newbies or even unsponsored drivers trying to keep up with the Joneses, this would save people a lot of hassle and make it more about the driving and less about who randomly picked the right tire. You don't see NASCAR being in a tire war with Goodyears vs. Firestones vs. Cooper vs. Dunlop, why is this acceptable in r/c?
My latest setups are the top 2 links in the description!
Changing turnbuckle mounting locations will raise/lower your roll center. I run clay oval so i play around with roll centers more than someone who races similar to yourself. Raising the camber link on the chassis lowers your roll center and causes that shock/spring to act stiffer than what it really is making your car more stable and seem stiffer, vice versa lowering the camberlink on the chassis raises your roll center and causes the shock/spring to act softer than what it really is making your car softer and in my case roll over on the RF faster and easier giving me more bite off the LR

Nice production man. I have a question. Anybody can answer. What would make a car go right although the wheels are straight, camber and toe ins checks out?
Assuming the steering trim is set to center, this would most likely be lack of grip due to too much throttle application. Try to develop some precise throttle to keep the car straight!
So on the different tire tread depth (slick, ghosted, full pin) do you have all of those tread depth in each compound? How do you know what tires to get and sand down if you have little or no recon?
Hey buddy I just stubble upon your channel I'm sub..rn I like your stuff
Awesome info yet again! Thank you. when you were talking about the hub heights, is this for front and rear hubs?
Yes sir!
Do you still have your RC8B3.1e and if so can you please
share you set up with me pls 😋😅
Hi Ryan. Just out of curiosity. Have you tried something like MIP bypass pistons. I see it's quite common in 1/8. Not sure about 1/10 thus I'm asking.
When you change your hub heights, do you also change your ballstud heights at the same time to maintain the same geometry?
Yo ryan
Love the videos man!
Tryed to find the gold parts (exotek?)
But cant find them
Any help pleasssse!
Keep up the good work
I really love the share vehicle idea. I started with a slash 2wd and ran that at my track. Built a Tekno SCT 410SL recently and took it to the same track. Struggled a bit with nose diving and asked a guy with experience to drive it for me and see what he thought. Turned out it was a bit of driver error and a bit of suspension setup. He told me what he did while driving to help correct it. Took it out myself and did what he said to do and it worked. Got better but now need to tune the car. Definitely helped knowing it was mostly driver error 😂
Can you clarify what you mean by raising and lowering your hubs. What setting is raised and what setting is lowered?
switching springs now
Thks man for the tips
car go vroom vroom
How high should a truggy be sitting off the ground like how far should I adjust the wheel springs

@Ryan Harris do you live down in Florida? I’m moving down there in a few months, it be Kool to meet up at some tracks n see the Florida track life. I’m from Ny
What weight oils do you use at NewBerry park in your 1/10 4wd associated?
very good help
Is that an old RC 10 on your Shelf??
What am I looking at when I accelerate my SCT 3.0 and it just spins out in a straight line?? Dirt low grip track?? I have to accelerate so slowly it’s ridiculous??
This guy is like MKBHD but from RC
This is the best compliment bi have ever received lol thanks homie!
Are you planning on running some ebuggy at ams 11 this November?
Probably not :/
Wut is a good budget car for competition buggy racing (2wd competition)
2wd is sometimes the most popular class which makes it the most competitive. I would get the 22 5.0 as it comes with a lot of hop ups out of the box!
What is this rc called? And where can I buy one?
What do you mean by raising the hubs?? Raising the ride height? Sorry but I think that was a really bad explanation lol
Me having never had the chance to race anything but carpet 👁👄👁
Would u still encourage having someone drive your car and giving u feedback if they have a totally different driving style than u
All this talk about tires, makes me think it's time for the industry to get the tire game under control once and for all. Every track, or at least every major regional/national/Worlds event IMO, should run a spec tire and maybe even limit how many sets you can use on a raceday/weekend. It's such a big weekly expense and question mark for newbies or even unsponsored drivers trying to keep up with the Joneses, this would save people a lot of hassle and make it more about the driving and less about who randomly picked the right tire. You don't see NASCAR being in a tire war with Goodyears vs. Firestones vs. Cooper vs. Dunlop, why is this acceptable in r/c?
