High low with go karts would slap. Make it happen guys!
yessss
I second that.
Nah I want them to do burnout cars. Like, i want them to be allowed to pick the car/chassis, have a budget, and then set the goal of beating the other in a burnout comp.
Team James vs Team Nolan with Passion, go right ahead.
Or racing lawnmowers
800$ for a fucking SHELL?!?!
yeah, it kinda looked pretty cheaply made to me
Not even for the shell it's a basic pro line body 800$ for the damn paint and body work? Which by body work I'm guessing trimming the body
Yah wtf
Dude i bought my shitbox with 75k km for 750
They embellished a bit 😬
Justin trying to be the cocky bad guy is hilarious 😂 he's way too nice.. good attempt though
Lol the genuine laughs make him a hard case 😂😂
?
I would have like to see one race where they both drove straight at the same time.
All they would need to do a side-by-side comparison of low team race 2 run and high team race 3 run. That would be smart and easy.
Did someone say RC Cars?.... I'm in.....
Yooo
@TomleyRC love the content
Yessir
Lol what u doing over here
We always seem to be on the same channels Phil. They really should have put indicators on the cars and friction dampers.
Tony talking smack to Jimmy after building the car is too funny
lmao that "BUILT BOTH CARS" card on the freeze there was the best part of the entire thing
We need a re-run! Let the boys practice and go again.
Definitely need some test runs.
100% wtf was this
Tip for drag racing/speed runs with RC cars: Get the trim as dialed in as possible with the car going straight, then when you race, use that trim dial to make small steering adjustments. Using the steering wheel to make steering adjustments at high speeds at that scale will almost always cause a crush, unless you have a high quality servo, transmitter, and remote setup.
🤣🤣🤣just turn down your steering dual rate. wtf are you talking about steer with yout trim knob. not to mention im willing to bet with that nb4 the steering trim is buttons on the touch screen unless you program it to a dial which i believe there is only 1 of, and we all know assigning buttons isnt in their wheelhouse.
You could just turn the dual rate down to 20 and slow channel timing down. Needs a throttle curve instead of a linear line. They’re not using gyro to keep the car straight under heavy acceleration. Drop the bec voltage to 6v to slow the servo.
@@ozaricblox2016 that is a good point. I didn’t think about that lol
My guess is @@ozaricblox2016 has coned off a few parking lots himself☝
crazy to think High team rc build costs more than my actual real car lol
Both builds cost more than my car......
It costs more than ive spent on every car I've had 😭
The low team car costs more than my real car (I don't have one yet)
Honestly though.
800 for a cheap looking plastic supra body is just a lie. These aren't real prices, it's just click bait and tax write-offs.
Lmao typical Mustang aiming for crowds smh. 😂
Can we change this to chargers and challengers already? Those things are boats and they still hit crowds
Ah, I see you are a man of culture.
2D would be proud of you
@@david-468 Not only that isint the mustang the only of the trio with the v8 still?
@@TheProDucky.. yep, well unless dodge is making another challenger , but there charger is becoming electric and Camaros are gone, corvettes still got a v8 but pretty sure they’re done with those too for now
its not aiming if you suck at driving 😂
Whoa. Jimmy is now low team? And Justin is on high team? Love it!!
Right! This is awesome to see. Justin moving up 😄
What a bot
I think Jimmy did a fantastic job painting low car! I was honestly super impressed.
That mini lift is sick
As much as they charge for them, it should come with a frickin car too.
i immediately started looking for a 1:5 scale one lmao
I wish I could get a life sized one 😅
@@ansim are we the same person? LOL
@@Blaquer17 pretty close! looks like we have the same cars, lol. yours the v1 or 2?
A Donut video on a Friday? Let’s go!!
All about the tune, def didn't spend enough time getting either car really dialed in. RC drags can get insane with the setups.
7:24 Stop calling it an esc motor! It’s NOT the motor! It’s a voltage regulator that goes between the battery and motor to determine how much voltage you’ll feed the motor. It’s like calling your gas pedal your “gas pedal motor”.
Didn't learn much other than the river is important. We need to compare the cars with experienced drivers to get a fair comparison of car performance.
Yes I agree, rivers are important.
...I just want to know what that has to do with R/C cars.
Before the edit.
@@ravn_blade No edit needed. I stand by my river comment. I'll fight anyone who disagrees.
@@PsiNorm lol
BIG time. Lame they didn't have real RC drivers test them after.
What? Did they play Poker first to work out who was High Car?
That was bullshit. We demand a rematch!!!!!!!!
It's amazing how far Jimmy has come from a high school intern to donut host
Off-road Rc challenge when???
I honestly really enjoy the RC content Donut puts out, especially in this Hi Low format. Great video you guys!!
80's villain Justin is...
*chef's kiss*
Sorry but 800$ for a custom painted body???... somebody got ripped off...
Yea, they just pulled prices out of their ass. Some parts were correct, but others are complete bull crap
If it's automotive paint and you want it done right that's about what I would charge 😅😅
And $200 wheels
@SuperDjwasabi I'm an airbrush artist that stated custom painting rc cars in the 90's
And you are 100% wrong. That is a 150 dollar paint job MAX!
60 dollar proline body and a 100 dollar spray job at most. they got SUPER ripped off
Early to work? ❌
Early to Donut video ✅
Makes a man healthy wealthy and wise or sum like that 😂
@@Tokin_Alien this where men of culture gather ☕️
night shift dont got that problem im off work hehe
@@titandoomshop plus we get extra money from shift diff
I respect u guys, had a graveyard shift a while back I couldnt last
Nice RC Drag Builds! Now back to that Mini V8! Cough… mine runs… Cough cough. 😉😆
Do more RC car stuff guys! RC cars are for everyone!
$800 for body and paint? That’s theft…
Yeah they got robbed
Most of that was probably went to the painter.
TH-cam prices to get views 😅
Tax write-offs prolly 😂
@@HeavysquadRacing yeah whoever the painter was ripped them off. BIG time.
As a budding RC guy (real cars are 'spensive) this was a cool concept. This was entertaining, but people want answers and this gave none. No specs, no times, no even comparisons; we just want an outcome on the cars, not just on 2 guys driving skills that have never done this before. Maybe not everyone wants the spec sheets and deep dive like me, but there was a lot more at play here than just the cost. Why are the internals more expensive and what advantage did they actually offer?
You guys gotta do an RC dirt oval episode. Traxxas will probably sponsor it since they just came out with their own mud boss.
Even have a great idea for a high low episode
I've been into RC cars for a very long time, though my current cars have been sitting for years becuase of my last location we couldn't get batteries shipped in. Now, however, I am in a new location that makes it MUCH cheaper! I plan to get back into them some time this summer and have been looking at RC drag races. There are several events downtown.
Edit: Just wanted to add you can get into the hobby buy purchasing used off ebay, market place, and some rc forums and save TONS of money.
$800 for the body and paint? We are talking about RC Cars and not MAACO, right?
they pulled those prices out of their ass
Also 500 dollars for just a carbon fiber chassis thar they kept calling a body?
This entire video is defiantly doughnut quality media.
No idea what they are talking about making shit up as they go along.
@routeddown66 to be honest, the chassis price is more than believable. In drifting you can spend like 1k or more on a chassis from overdose or REVED
@@BTB_Works I looked it up, the r1 dc1 roller runs 400 bucks.
Doughnut used the wrong words through out the entire video and that threw me off. I thought they meant 500 just for the chassis it's self. ie the flat piece of carbon fiber that the suspension is attached to.
@routeddown66 nono, by chassis you reffer to as the roller. Basically, all of the stuff without electronics, body and wheels
Jimmy's developing into a great host! Love the confidence, delivery, comedic timing - The future of Donut's in good hands!
"I'll beat you always"
Confidence!
You must prove him wrong Jimmy.
Never been this close to a vid release
I was about to say the same!
fr
Me too
how does it feel?
I’m a hour in and neither have I
Funny how Justin experienced Hi team before Nolan did 😂
RC Drag racing came and went faster than an actual RC drag race itself...
I think this also teaches us the lesson that being cocky only helps if you win, that loss was pretty pitiful, especially with how good that car was running.
There are many tuning factors. 0 toe control arms? remove grease /seals from bearings and add oil instead. Esc tuning, slipper clutch tuning, tire balance? Tire prep? Shock tuning ? Money doesn't always make you faster.
I would have done a custom airbrush paint job with any graphics you want for 350$ whoever charged you 800$ for a body was restocking their entire paint cabinet.
@@ryurc3033 yea, this wasn't that well directed. As and RC drifter my self, i couldn't finish that episode as I was cringing too hard. Especially sucks how they pulled prices out of their ass. Like, damn, i paint bodies in colour shift paints for my guys at the track for $50 + material costs.
The new Hi-Low season had some budget cuts it seems like
I'm in the FPV drone hobby, so this is right up my alley! RC of any kind is an absolute blast.
HELL YEAH DONUT RC VIDEOS
also man its crazy how big Donut has gotten over the years. so many huge sponsors, brands, and collabs.
Rc drag racing is an intense part of the hobby because driving is only a small part of the race. It’s all about tuning the car for the condition and track
Driving was the main part here kkkkkkkkkkkkkk
hmm, sounds like 1/10 offroad carpet or 1/8 dirt or... uhhh, any rc cacing. except with other forms of racing the driving is actually fun cause it lasts longer than a few seconds.
Just completed the FH5 Hi car campaign it was fun
Happy you finally found and did it. its been out for years
@@ethanacton408yeah idk why I put it off for so long
@Jobodahobo No worries. I didn't mean anything rude by it. Crew motorfest has more voicelines and stories from them if you want more them
@@ethanacton408sounds fun I’ll have to try that
Yeah crew motorfest was much more fun to play you should definitely try it, Way better than FH5
I think doing this but with offroad/drift/rock crawler RC cars would be an awesome series
lol the VATS sound effect at 10:00 😂 i’ve been playin way too much fallout to miss that
ngl that low team RC car looks way better, especially the tires and wheelie bar.
It's only the lo-car because Donut dislikes "boomer cars" 😅 they probably cost pretty much the same, That supra body is not worth 800 dollars.
"may thy RC flip and shatter"
I love how they keep saying stuff like "ESC motor" and "ECU".
Also why the hell did they not upgrade the chassis?
Love these videos with Jimmy and Justin. Keep them coming!
Happy Friday, Car Enthusiasts!
Super click bait title... Says "$300 vs $3k rc car," but in reality it's a $1500 rc car vs a $2200 rc car with an $800 body.
This guy really calling out donut and expects to live
Exactly. Just shaking my head as I watched it. Bait titles wreck credibility.
800 dollar body SMH
Crazy how little you guys know about Rc cars!! You would think that being car enthusiasts and Rc go hand and hand
Let’s go! More RC action🔥🔥🔥
Dude… A full HiLow season focused on dragsters would be incredible
I think they just did it🤣
Now I want to see a top speed RC run on HiLow or money pit series
Potion for a part 2 with Tony driving the low car 😂 more expensive might not mean more better
THE TINY LIFT AT THE BEGINNING FOR THE RC CAR OMG SO CUTE. Welcome Jimmy to the team!
The mini lift was a perfect touch 😅
The $ just $ w/o the skill 😉.
😂.. Tony at the end!
Nice vids guys. Spreading light on the RC drag world!
not enough comments talking about the synergy this episode, great guest too. favorite episode in a while.
HI vs Low RC Touring/Race cars next?
They about to make me bring out my xo-1 lol
I love how the writing, performances, and editing come together to build a hilarious and entertaining video!
Can we just acknowledge the mini car lifts
That wheel gap is RIDONKULOUS
Yakuza 0 was right, RC is pay to win
Seeing Jimmy more often now is cool! He's really grown into being more comfortable on camera. Keep up the good work guys!
15:24 -- don't worry, Jimmy, it has happened even to the best of us! Also, getting hit right in the shin by a 1/5 scale car hurts a lot more than 1/10 nibbling on your ankle :)
What a time to be alive. 1 minute.
I love that donut brings in professionals (like tony) for stuff they're learning and instantly become friends with them
Never realized RC cars were so expensive. 😲 $400 quads can get over 120mph easily, though the battery only lasts a few minutes.
rc cars are not THAT expensive
Like anything else they can be as cheap or expensive as you want them to be.
I love when donut brings more attention to the Rc scene, its such a fun hobby 🤘🤘
Yoooo now their doing rc cars 🔥🔥🔥🔥
They actually have quite a bit of RC content. They did some RC drift stuff like a year ago.
@@DanielJamesEgan oh yeah I forgot about that
Loving how much screen time Jimmy is getting. He's great!
I bet this is Jimmy's burner account 😅
Rumbled!!!!
Omg tomley comented! From the rc community thanks and welcome aboard!
The 80's style ad at the end was absolutely worth watching.
Jumbo Slice out there diggin'deep.. atta'boy Jimbo, atta boy
under one hour gang (not begging)
32 minutes and now I need a borla exhaust on my car
As someone that barely got into RC cars, these RC drag cars are badass.
I got into RC Crawlers and have 2 RC crawler trucks and theyre so much fun to drive around.
This is what it’s like when you live life one 1/24th of a mile at a time
im so early
Great video we have been in the RC drag racing for a long time and enjoy everything about it and everyone in it.
Yall saying "body" for the chassis and "motor" for esc is absolutely killing me 😭😭
Shoutout to Donut for moving these guys up and giving opportunities for their people 🎉
Loving this series and everything RC, but man, off road does it for me and nitro, that smell and sound is everything!
👊🏾👊🏾👊🏾👊🏾 great follow-up to the drift segment
Congrats on the ❤Borla exhaust sponsorship that is so cool
Jimmy is the member of crew we all needed!! Team Jimmy!!
ive got like 5 rc cars and 2 drag cars all off the drag slash platform and its funny to see they drop my years salary on 2 cars that my drift car could gap lol but its nice to see them make rc content
Awesome! I just got into no-prep rc drag racing this year! My car is a spare parts build so I am rooting for Low-Team!
This was a good video. Would like to see more driving of the cars. That’s the most enjoyable part to watch imo
Big ups Jimmy for moving from just a PA to more and more on air talent time.
Tell you what I wouldn't be mad if Donut came up with a new show that was all about RC cars.
Love these RC episodes! 🏎️🏁
Justin - you assembled a CHASSIS. The thing that the suspension, motor, ESC, etc attaches to is the CHASSIS. At least Jimmy got the nomenclature correct..
Justin on High team... is a menace....🤣😂🤣and I love it....😊
been racing rc cars since the early 80's. have 11 different types of car that I race. bloody love it
The "ohh wha happen"😂 and he built both of the cars are hilarious
You all crack me up, this channel is great XD
Love the Zumiez song at the end!!!
