Congratulations on the 1M views, that really is an impressive milestone! Another great video too, as ever. From lightest to heaviest, a built-up cross/asterisk/circle/square etc of reinforcing over the holes on a lexan wing (scrim/drywall tape and flexible glue) in my very minor experience, can help with longevity. Done prior to drilling of the mounting holes preferably. This can be applied to the whole wing of course, but any weight saving is quickly eaten up taking that approach. Just a tiny addition to hopefully help anyone that’s stuck using a lexan wing while in possession of an empty wallet :) :)
Congratulations on the 1M. It would be awesome to see you at SweetwaterRaceway in powerdspring you being a GA local they race 10th and 8th outdoor and mini Z/T/B and micro indoor also. Racing every week
Congrats on the 1MIL!! 🙌🏼Woot-woot🙌🏼 I don't run 8th scale but I'm still super new and all the info is much appreciated. I really enjoyed the explanation on the servo choice and putting more emphasis on driving practice vs dumping money into expensive shiny bits and bobs. I keep referring back to your video on the mental game involved in racing. The few times I've been on the driver's stand i try to stay calm but it's definitely a challenge.... Especially when I get nervous and mistakes keep happening 😂
Higher KV motors should have just as much torque as lower KV motors that are otherwise comparable. High KV just draw more current when providing that torque.
Just discovered this channel and i'm already recomending it to everyone. Rally high quality content. Love the calm voiceover. Can you recommend any videos about getting into nitro racing with beginner and money friendly kits/motors? (good quality, doesn't need to be the best performer, relatively cheap)
I believe Adam Drake has some videos on Nitro tuning and such. As for which engine you should get. I'd say Flashpoint or the Protek cr21 are great starting points
Carbon fiber towers will flex more than aluminum towers and that's why they are (or at least were) only used in the rear. As for the titanium t-rods, provided it is quality Ti-6Al-4V grade 5 (think Lunsford) then it will perform better than the kit tie-rods w/ an exception to Serpents ti rods which are a spring steel alloy and the Ti-6Al-4V will only slightly out perform these because of its ductile properties over steel. But w/ this all said 1/10 t-rods aren't as strong as a 1/8 t-rod and are more prone to bending because of its applied diameter and that's why they switched to 3.5mm t-rods. When you go up to 5mm thickness everything changes for the better w/ titanium, especially when length is put into the factor, ie: Truggy t-rods. Great vid, keep them coming and thanks.
This really depends on the exact steel alloy and titanium alloy you’re comparing. Titanium in general has a way lower modulus of elasticity compared to steel, so they are easier to bend.

Hell yeah in roach we trust brother.

Always appreciate your insights on Rc racing as I am a new racer getting into 1/8 buggy.
Just bought a 2wd tlr buggy and your videos are helping so much. Still a novice but working on it a lot.
Congrats on the 1MIL!!

Love your channel bro, hard work pays off. Thanks for all the knowledge over the years.

Congratulations on the million views 💪 I always look forward to your videos
Thanks for all of your invaluable info. As always, great video, great presentation. Cheers!

Thanks for the explanation man, I've always been a bit hazy on my metals of the periodic table
@@RoachRC You do a great job with your videos man. keep up the great work.
I like getting that higher end servo like nitro pro and slow the speed down on radio and as u get better up the speed
Our track is against the ocean, razor wings you need to be able to have great air control. As we have lots of cross wind
SLO-mo sounds perfect for some R&D, best wishes! 🍻
Congrats on the million plus views buddy!! Keep it up
Thank you 👍
There is a additinal Body from Mayako, it have no side wings on the body, less drag, less stability
Yes, congrats on over a million views! Great vid, as always….
“That’s all for now” keepS the videoeS going’S
Wings can be difficult to dial-in
throw on a set of twisters and go!!!!
Titanium is way stronger than steel. Its like the strength difference is like the difference between aluminum and steel.
This really depends on the exact steel alloy and titanium alloy you’re comparing.
Titanium in general has a way lower modulus of elasticity compared to steel, so they are easier to bend.
the background music is too loud ... hard to understand.
brapooo
Wow I got here early
Nitro sucks!!
Nah it doesn't. Clutches, tuning and race craft over a main. It's racing
Cease. Your. HERESY
Your S’s are super Sweet tho..Ssss
Great stuff …. Just OUTSTANDING…..😎🦾🔥
