Anyone else racing carpet this season?!
Great information, Ryan! Carpet is starting this year in Shreveport LA and I am anxious to try it out. I run tekno and only been in off road for 1 year- love it and I really enjoy your videos. Look forward to seeing you run this year, and I might even try to catch you live- if possible!
Carpet has been an absolute game changer for me. I'm a motocross guy and die-hard dirt fan, which is what got me into r/c racing. Unfortunately I just got so flustered with the tire game and constant setup changes with dirt. I felt like 90% of my time was spent chasing setup and only 10% having fun and focusing on my driving. With carpet, once I get a solid setup then I only have to make minor changes from track to track, even being in the Expert class A-main. It's fast, clean, and consistent racing. Of course you can't afford to make hardly any mistakes but I really feel like it's more about the driver and less about the setup compared to other surfaces. At the end of the day, there is minimal clean-up. Not to mention it's very cost effective for track owners and makes track changes much easier. Never thought I'd say it, but I love carpet.
I've only raced carpet and probably will for a long while, my local dirt track just went to carpet ☹
Nico is sitting second in buggy and SC for the winter points series that ends this weekend on carpet.
You should come out to Topeka Kansas! We have a big race presented by AE coming up March 27-29. Ultraline Hobbies
Rocking the donut media hat,nice
*[Bumper 2 Bumper theme intensifies]*
@@HokuraChan0106 Get up to speed on...TLR
YES thats where he’s from. I knew his face looked familiar! I came here from AJ CAT btw
Being able to run an entire main on carpet without any marshaling is such a good feeling and an amazing feat. Awesome race man!!
I was so pumped to see this video! I bought a brushless E-Maxx about 5 years ago and wanted to race at the the time, but with no track a backyard bashed served me well. I just found out about a indoor carpet track about a half hour away from me in St. Cloud Minnesota. I bought a TLR 22 5.0 AC about 2 weeks ago and am working on the build. I can't wait to go racing!
How did you get on with racing? I'm in the same boat; indoor carpet track just opened up, and bought a 22 5.0 myself.
Really appreciate how much information you put out to try to help us get our cars dialed in. I have been to tracks where people try to keep everything a secret to get an advantage or something but the tracks that I have the most fun at are the ones where everyone is trying to help everyone else out. At my local track people will literally help others in the pit and even share parts and it really makes racing a fun and friendly experience. I mean, we aren’t all trying to be pro, we just want to have a fun weekend at the track. Thanks Ryan!
Ha!! You raced with a buddy of mine, Dave Ramos! He transplanted down to Fla. from NY a few years ago.
I wanted to say hey to you while I was there but didn’t want to be awkward. You’re the reason I got into the hobby!
Dude! Don't ever be shy! We're all family at the track
Ryan Harris awesome! I’ll be at the next one!
This man is more prepared than full sized race car teams lmao This is definitely o hobby I’m gonna get into
O is so far away from A on the keyboard...
I run mo7 mini and tc 7.2 vta on carpet so much fun just started racing 3 months ago at a local club !! Absolutely love the hobby and the people in it !!
Tamiya spec mini racing is quality 👍🏻
Fantastic video and sharing of information. Will be doing my first carpet race in Feb and definitely looking for a balanced setup for a TLR build starting end of this week. Hope to be able to see your setup sheet and thank you again for all you do for the Hobby!
Havent raced for a couple of years now, but everytime I watch your videos, i always get the urge to start again. Keep up the great vids man!
In all the years of racing I've never heard about the best way of landing. 👍. Just goes to show you're never to old to learn.. Overall some good advice to try 😬 👏
the best way is right side up ;)
I raced heavily, announced, and worked at a race track from 2013-16. Got out for a bit and have recently considered getting back into it. So ive been randomly searching for videos and such and stumbled on yours. Man ur videos are awesome, more racers should do these. Keep it up man, well worth a sub
Great video. Nice to see you embracing carpet racing
So just now getting into the hobby. Had an interest is possibly doing some track racing. And then I watched your video and realized how much preparation it really takes to run these events. Great video. Taught me quite a bit. I like being able to hear different thought processes of running different setups
Honestly, this is pretty excessive for a weekend trip, if you're breaking your car that much, should probably slow down a bit or buy higher quality parts 😅
I never knew much about RC growing up but after this month of getting into to hobby it amazes the way these guys can drive these Cars with such precision much more than just your house hold toy
Ryan you have the best RC vids on TH-cam love your channel keep making vids and i will keep watching
Nice driving sir! For your first time on carpet sounds like you did really well and had good comments to help you dial it in.
Yup, race carpet every winter up here in Canada, Ryan your videos are epic... love the Oakley intro..brings me right to sunny Florida and those Miami vice style shades man what a touch of perfect video macheezmo;) running same set up only with pyramids on the back with the new prizms we have red/blue carpet and it’s is a dialed little B6 thanks for the setup a few years ago;)
Watching all your videos, reminiscing...you're making me want to pick up a new ride and get back into this!
I feel late to the party but this sport looks hella fun.🤙
check out kevin talbot on you tube. he shows the other side of RC ownership. Bashing (or simply getting out with your rc and having some fun)
Power tools?!? Headphones for music?!? Man I remember cleaning the mud and grass off my mid custom, hiding under an umbrella in the pissing rain whilst my SCR's charged underneath my car bag, indoor racing must be like a 5* hotel!
You are SO ORGANIZED! Ryan - "i should have these a little more organized" LOL... your doing just fine buddy! Its a great quality to have though!! Enjoying the videos!
Thank you for sharing how you keep your small parts organized. I'm always striving for better organization and you've got some great ideas in there.
Did you find the small parts containers at A store like Michaels or Hobby Lobby? Having difficulty finding some.
@@_BigLife_ Are you looking for the little round ones he has inside the larger box or do want a box with a bunch of tiny compartments?
The little round ones he is using for small parts inside the Plano case
I just did an Amazon search for, "Small round containers with lids." And found a ton of choices. Here's one that comes in six different sizes. (Quantity: 100 Pieces) Beauticom 3G/3ML Round Clear Jars with White Lids for Lotion, Creams, Toners, Lip Balms, Makeup Samples - BPA Free www.amazon.com/dp/B01AE8OBKM/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_H.XiEbXG0P2ZM
If ordering things online isn't your thing I'd go anywhere they sell beads and other things to make jewelry. They're bound to have small containers. Let me know if that isn't helpful and I'll go find some in the real world and let you know whose got them.
I raced against Billy Bruce back when the Whip (Whippoorwill) was still running. I had the RC10T back then. Had a Losi 2wd buggy for awhile. I tried my luck with a LCG 4x4 Slash at Beachline a couple of times. Never had the speed but it was a lot of fun.
I swear I could smell the rubber of those tires during the close-ups. What a great video and such clean racing. That track is so cool too.
Looking to get into racing. Thank you so much for the low down in the beginning. It let's me know how to prepare for this.
Hey Ryan! I just started to run electric trucks indoor carpet track during the fall and winter with Traxxas Slash 2wds with different classes I run just stock setup right now but looking at getting some new tires and wheels for it! Thanks for going through things on the setups of stuff and what to bring to these places for events!😉😎
I live in Wales in the uk 🏴. Ive found an indoor carpet track less than a hour away. I feel so lucky to find it and gonna support the place as much i can. Super stoked 🤘🏴🤘
check out the ts100 or ts80 soldering iron! I love my ts80 as a primary iron, for everything from my rc drift chassis' to building fpv drones.
Holy crap. Thats so sweet. When you talk about how high you glue the tires and stuff man do I ever get lost haha. I have a 22 2.0 and drive over at mhor raceway and I get so lost when it comes to tuning my car. There are SO MANY factors that come into make sure you have a dialed setup and I never know where to start
I didn’t even know this was a thing! Looks super fun!
Man, I wish I had that kind of talent. Truly amazing! For now, I'm just happy racing around the back yard and not breaking anything ;)
Well you got some talent im racing in the backyard breaking everything
Live in Dallas Fort Worth area. Got to build an X-ray XB4 in 13’ for an indoor off-road carpet track that was open for a short period. Was soooo fun. Sad day when they closed. Been itching for it ever since.
Nicely driven. Can't believe that's 17.5
Awesome video ! I also have been playing around with u-joints vs cvd joints on carpet after watching Trishbits Schumacher videos explaining the traction differences between the two , I’m actually running the TLR gear diff w/the TLR spec racer dog bones and hexes in my 17.5 Yokomo YZ2 lighter than stock bones plus the u joints allow the suspension to still work under forward drive vs cvd which goes to a flat straight shaft position when under a load. Just thought I would share yet another tuning option for carpet since it’s a whole different animal
"Nooo, nooo, no orange pledge mister Ryan" LOL
Keep em coming, love the insight and honest progress you’re making with TLR! Have a successful 20 🙏
As a bicycle mechanic for 35years, best kept shop secret for cleaning all bicycles is a $1.00 can of lemon pledge.
Excellent video, enjoyed it. Keep up the solid RC footage, looking forward what is to come (and the 22X-4).
This video is so so dope!! Really helped me with my carpet set up.
Im just getting back into the hobby after 20 years.. nice video
Hey Ryan great job I know you didn’t place 1st but your attitude and knowledge of learning makes you a 1st place driver in my book! 🤙🏽
Great video man! The format and info given was excellent
Dude, those batteries look dope. You have a nice arsenal of racing goodness.
Why do you glue up haft the tire? From folding over? Stiffness? Thank you great video!! 🤙🏾
More glue = more sidewall stiffness. The sidewalk acts as a spring for both horizontal and vertical forces when tire gets loaded with weight. Also as the sidewalk deforms it changes your tire contact patch with surface
I was there, I was really impressed out how fast you were able to get that 22 up to speed!
Was that a Steve Kinser shirt? I have watched Sprintcars all over California and a few other states since the 80’s.
Yes sir!
Amazing video as always Ryan!
The nice thing about racing carpet (apparently) is not nearly breaking your thumb while turn-marshaling (and slipping/falling) on wet clay :) Took me about six months to get over that at SDRC in San Diego ;)
I am planning on trying it this summer for the first time. I have my own dirt oval that I’m running at my home, so my dedication may be limited. Bit of advice, get the Milwaukee M12 soldering iron. It is awesome. Will help you save space and it uses same battery as your other tools. I love mine.
What are those bags you got the rc remote and charger stuff in called? 🧐 are they jcConcept or... I can’t see the label very well.
I have a Traxxas bandit and I whant to get into carpet racing what would you recommend for tires and wheels
I personally love carpet compared to turf! Both are fine options though. That’s all I ever raced on.
Sadly my local Chicago carpet track is gone.
Hey Ryan you should come up to the RC Fun Park in Granger Indiana sometime it's a clay off road track everyone uses slicks or primes for tires
Rock some Legendary Apparel!! I live in Central Pa where Sprint Car racing is LIFE!! Keep up the good work!!
Not sure where your at in Central Pa but the hobby shop in Altoona has a small carpet track. Mainly 2wd buggies and SC. It’s not a big track but is lots of fun. Practice (fun run) Thursdays and racing on Saturday afternoons. He needs more racers to show up though.
Always a pleasure watching your videos. Thanks for sharing.
Nice work. I keep going back and forth between carpet and dirt/clay. It is quite a difference. I just leave my cars setup for the dirt and change the tires when I go to carpet. along with ride height. Too lazy to do more work! :-)
throw back Oakleys and the Miami Vice throwback music (80s)
..pretty sweet... felt like crockett and tubbs rolling in the spyder in downtown miami on the way to a deal....yea im old and you young guys will never understand...lol
Glad you felt the vibe 😎
@@RyanHarrisRC now im watching old reruns of miami vice... CALDARONE is alive !!!!!
Excellent race. So few manufactureres now in the game kinda makes things a bit boring. I'd like to get back into racing, but the last cars I drove were the Kyosho optima Mid and CAT XLS in the late 80s early 90s
Just some advice (and you may already know this) is that for carpet racing if you overshoot the down ramp land on full throttle and the car will land slammed to the ground and it won’t get upset. Cons: Idler gears tend to go quickly so don’t do it too often.
Edit: It doesn’t really apply for that track because it’s a really high-speed course but for more technical tracks just send it lol
Nice one. Might have to move to America where you seem to have tons of tracks all over!
Hey Ryan in this video you have the box with tools and screws and other good items , what’s the brand os the storage unit looking for something like in Australia thank you
5:28 what kind of Oakley’s are those? Anyone know?
Ryan literally holds the box up. They're called Razor Blades.
Racing in general must be fun, just wish there were more outdoor "dirt" tracks and nitro as well.
Can you post links to your organizing case and the round screw holders?
Been in to hobby for many years I have a few drifters and off road tamiyas but I want to finally get into racing and my local track seems to support both 2wd and 4wd so don’t know which is better for a beginner ? but I am absolutely torn between AE or tlr and if I do go tlr is it worth it to go for and elite over an sr?
Never ran carpet with offroad vehicles but ran back in the day with my tamiya m-03 and it was alot of fun.... what's your favorite surface to run on sir ?? Mines loose dirt cant help but just enjoy the entire experience plus its aloft of fun with driving lines changing due to traffic
Ryan I’m sure you cover this in another video, but I’m new to all this rc racing stuff. My question is, I see there’s a threaded collar, I’d call it that, on the shock that compresses or loosens the spring. Now what exactly does that do and how do you know where to set it ?
Great vid! Huuuge open wheel fan! Cool to see you rocking the "KING."
Did you buy a 5.0 AC for this race or just set up your dirt car for carpet? I have a 5.0sr I may try on turf this year. Any pointers?
Awesome stuff Ryan! Interesting you got the 22 5.0 Elite which they designed as a dirt car and used it on carpet. I'm not sure how I feel about the pledge. I like PTFE spray to keep the dirt off, but you shouln't use that on the lexan. aerosol furniture wax likely works on it all.
Steve kinser is a solid racer. I'm more of a Brian Monteith fan (#21 The Edge). PA Posse always over Outlaws! Haha nice video Ryan.
where is the link to the parts you change from elite to make it carpet?
hey man i love the amount of info you give keep it up and thank you!
Just getting into carpet this year. Question for wheels, I see DE has two different front buggy wheels for my B6. Slim and regular. What is the benefit from either?
The red parts and tool kit! Who makes it and where did you get it?
How much did it cost and was it fun
Badass shirt , good taste for 2am buying. Dig the 80’s theme music
Awesome video. Do you plan to run more carpet? Im currently running my 22x4 as a carpet car. Awesome Buggy.
Hey man would the hieght of my diff have a lot to do with my car traction rolling
Hey Ryan you should try racing your 4wd on carpet and let us know your thoughts. Iv been racing b6.1 on carpet and have been thinking about trying 4wd as well.
hey where did you get those little containers thats inside your parts tray?
we run carpet offroad .. the aka slicks are pretty amazing, cordless drill makes doping ur tires supa easy
What type of carpet do they use for the tracks?
"THE KING" love the shirt, clean operation you run thanks for the video but carpet is for the house and dirt is for racing lol
If you can ever try it, you should try foam tires on black crc carpet. I run the 22 5.0 ac and that is the way to go at our local track.
Enjoyed the video, thanks for sharing all your gear and experience! Great shirt too!
Where can I get those small round containers that you have the nuts etc stored in? Thanks for another high quality video!
Got mine on Amazon!
They look like gemstone containers.
I use plastic nickel tubes to hold my shock springs and their product tags. One of the best additions I’ve made to the ol pitbix in a while. So easy to identify them now!!
Hey Ryan do you have a similar video but with your associated buggy ?
can i ask you why your running the old version shocks on the new car?
What is your discharge bank, old school was a bank of car blinker globes. What do you use and what does it do? Is it better for batteries using it. Is it better than a charger discharging cycle?
Thanks
Hey Ryan! I just picked up a 17.5 X factor certified plus edition and it came with the black tep1118 rotor. Do you have any experience with that? I usually run the tep1119 copper rotor on our small indoor dirt/clay track. Not sure what the difference is between the rotors. I usually gear at 69/27 in my 5.0 elite. Thanks!
Id try some foam tires if allowed at the track, Rick from Gone Banana's is local to me and come to our local club race about every weekend. Carpet is way more consistent imo then clay or hard packed dirt. If you get out of the groove you aren't screwed on having your tires being cruddy for a lap.
Im getting into asfalt/carpet racing right now. Build a tamiya tt-02sr with a 13.5t 5400kv and 2s 50c 5000mah. Should run decent
Ride height /camber gauge? Brand
Which corners did you find you needed to use your brake on this layout? Do you run drag brake, and how much?
Cool donut hat. Love it!
Where did you get the music for this video it's awesome
Man when you put them sun glasses on .. I thought we warped back to the 90s
