are there ever any races with all kind of different short course trucks in one race?

@rcvitals 15 күн бұрын

Yea that's usually how they race is all the short course trucks race together. I've seen someone do well, with a heavy modified traxxas slash short course truck.

@CabanasBeats 15 күн бұрын

are these traxxas slash or something?

@rcvitals 15 күн бұрын

Hey, thank you soo much for reaching out. These are the team associated, and tekno, and xray rc short course trucks. On the same line as a traxxas slash but better and more premium. Everyone I see driving them has fun driving them.

AE trucks in my area are running buggy shocks/Towers

@kennysilvers-z4x Ай бұрын

I did the same thing with my shock cup set up to make the car ride lower and more evenly in ride height. Otherwise the car sits at 20mm in the front and 22mm in the rear. With the shock cups reversed or set up in this manner, the cars ride height is an even 21mm both front & rear. The bulkhead spacers may've been added for the same reason depending on shock oil weight.

I’m of the opinion if your sponsor is paying for the majority of the whatever they sponsor you for you definitely don’t belong in sportsman. I’ve been through this argument back in the day I was employed by the local hobby shop and got an employee discount and because I worked in the RC department and checked in the stock order I literally had first or second dibs on the best batteries and motors before the the regular customers this was the brushed motor and Matched/Pushed NiCad days (unfair ehh maybe) now I still had to pay for everything my discount was usually cost + 10% but not everything had a 10% or more markup either so there’s times I paid what everyone else paid I was also a broke teenager that kicked back $$$ to my folks whenever possible. Was I a sponsored driver? According to a few sore loser types at some of the different tracks I raced at (all the same guys BTW) felt that way and used to force me to run expert. My supposed sponsorship was only because I worked where I worked, I didn’t get a “sponsorship”because I was a fast driver not to mention some of the supposed sportsman drivers that were complaining had been racing RC longer and were older than me at the time.

Top 3 consecutive laps is a good way to break it up. Then you need to have a PRO class and an Open class. Pro class for the serious pro level drivers they know who they are. And the everyone else. Each main walks away with something for the top 3, A main is a little more special award wise.

It's tough to compete as a racer or a brand in today's market. The direct to consumer model (paying, contracted customers) is sometimes the only way any of these brands can survive. If brand "A" wants to get customer "X", they will most likely have to contract them in order to get repeat business. If they do not, customer "A" will get contracted by brand "Y" and never make a transaction with "X". It's a ruthless product of free markets, but it works. If driver "A" is getting paid and full 100% product support from brand "X" they should be removed from the entry level class.

@Soysaucerc 2 ай бұрын

If a driver is getting discounted in any way at all (even 20%) and is representing a company on their shirt at all, they shouldn’t be in sportsman.

@RyanHarrisRC 2 ай бұрын

@@Soysaucercin a perfect world I agree with the idea that sportsman or comparable classes should be raced by 0% sponsored drivers. It is very hard to enforce when most online retailers offer regular coupons or member rewards often close to equal the support of a lower level sponsored driver.

@HookedUpRacing2024 4 ай бұрын

I’m on dirt, indoor sealed clay. I noticed there’s zero setup sheets for the 24 truck on the Xray site, so I’ll start with kit settings for dirt and work my way toward something that works better (if it does) and I’ll post it in a month or two. I’m assuming a lot of the common buggy changes might translate to the truck as well so that’ll be my starting point probably.

@fuzzfreak1967 6 ай бұрын

I don’t know about you Jason but I like a more locked down car, it’s just more predictable, reliable, consistent for me and how I drive. The fast guys I have been seeing lately at the tracks I go to, they are all slipping and sliding, wheels spinning through the turns and their front wheels are constantly turning left to right keeping them going in the right direction, I can’t do that stuff, it must be the fast way though, there winning. Anyway, I run as much front/rear droop as possible. Droop doesn’t just effect front to rear weight transfer, it also affects how much your car leans in the corners. Something I just did at my last race was I lowered my total ride height 1 mm, and wow; I couldn’t believe how much more side bite I had. It’s because I had more droop when I lowered the ride height and the car was able to lean more in the turns and transfer more weight. I don’t think I would shorten up my droop unless I was to lower my ride height excessively, or maybe if it was a high bite track. Plus the more droop you remove, that’s less jump landing soaking up your car has. On my indoor 1/10 scale 2 and 4 wheel drive cars I have been experimenting with reducing the rear droop only just to get better breaking strength in the cars and it’s definitely been helping with that

@rcvitals 6 ай бұрын

@fuzzfreak1967 Same here, I like more of locked down car. It's just to me 8th scale driving seems different from 10th scale driving. It's a learning curve still for me. Next I'm experiment with pistons.

@fuzzfreak1967 6 ай бұрын

@@rcvitals try some different shock springs if you can or different shock mounting locations too if you don’t have any different springs. Another thing I have done is put stiffer springs on my car and stood the shocks up, it’s amazing the difference I got from doing that. Softer springs or a softer shock location doesn’t always equal more grip, you can actually be too soft already and that’s why you don’t have much grip. Think of it this way, a stiffer spring pushes the tire harder and sooner into the ground than a soft spring, the car has to lean more with a soft spring to achieve the same pressure on the tire versus a harder spring. Same with the shock mounting angle. A more leaned over shock is softer overall and the car needs to lean over more to put pressure into the tire versus a stood up shock which is overall stiffer and puts pressure into the tire quickly. It’s all trial and error really, if you have the time, experiment with this stuff. Remember too, there is a little optimum window with all the adjustments an RC car has, you can always go or be too far in one direction. When I go to a track, I focus on getting my car hooked up the way I like it before I just keep doing laps to learn the layout. Good luck 👍

@RcOffroad9513 7 ай бұрын

What I have learned is that when it gets hot, I like a hard compound like a clay ss or sslw in the morning I like to run soft or supersoft. I find when running soft tires when it is really hot the tires stick while your buggy is trying to keep going causing a weird situation. Lol cool video, I bought a set if those same tires and n3ver used them because I put them in some old.rims that I had painted white (they were all scuffed up) and the glue only attached to the paint and they came off in short order. Lol but I think they would do ok for a beginner, or maybe an indoor arena track like PNB, where the dirt is loamy and soft even in the groove. 👍 I ended up going to turn and burn, and it is an awesome track, they made it bigger, and the new layout is so fun!!
