2016 IFMAR 1/12th scale World Championships - A-main Leg 1

[@pflanzgarten]

1/12 Carpet was/is the Top category of RC. After 25 years, i still having on my showcase a Trinity Revolver of my young days. Thank you for the video & chanel

[@chrisberardi2304]

No matter what part of our R/C hobby you are in, you have to appreciate what these guys have done.

[@deficator750]

this is the most action packed racing i have ever seen better than f1. i have no idea how the driver of the yellow rc even does his driving is so insanely precise and quick

[@andresramoscedres8554]

They are another level...The riders normally always go long at some point in the race, they also do not hurry in a perfect way in other larger categories, the riders can attack the curbs much more, there the rubbing and breaking of the spindle or whatever they are hyper delicate those cars also that on carpet the grip is beastly

[@drongojonkins8945]

These guys should be driving F1. Their eyes and reflexes are through the roof.

[@EinBick]

Being an RC Car racer myself I can tell you it has a lot to do with rythm. It's not so much that you react to every corner you have a certain rythm that you vary according to the situation. That being said driving like this requires years of daily training.

[@johnalstoniii1342]

I agree ,you got to be ON,200 % ,of the time

[@rcbuggies57]

@@EinBick Most definitely, f1 is about reaction time, I think high speed rc is about being incredibly consistent and accurate, you really have to feel the car rather than react.

Cameraman is just as skilled as the drivers 👌

[@GG-ub4ej]

Great announcing, camera work, and driving. What more can you ask for😉

[@ginopunsalan]

I agree. The mc was commendable for recognizing who was driving what. Awesome driving by the yellow and white car. Thing was on rails.

[@epaik4]

Soooo f'n sick, I miss this.. gonna have to get new/modern electronics and bring the ol 12L out of retirement :D

[@brendanredler3666]

That cameraman must be having a good time!

[@nickolasgaspar9660]

........abusing our eyes and brains...

[@stumason7003]

My new favorite driver is Akio. So bloody fast, and he is a good guy on AND off the track. I'm 11, and I have a 3.5 in my Mod 1/12th, same motor these guys are running, and I'm on Team Associated. I honestly don't want to be as good as these guys though. If I ever get this good, then I likely won't be an engineer.

[@toptensviewerschoice5204]

What battery do you run with that motor?

[@abcdefgh-db1to]

@@toptensviewerschoice5204 You want to be running a hardcased 1s 8000mah ish pack 80-120 C, choose a sunpadow, arrowmax, IP or other good brands.

[@Kutless1308]

It's like trying to follow a hockey puck... These guys are insane

[@andresramoscedres8554]

Ufff yo no he corrido en moqueta ni con 1/12 pero literalmente con el agarre que hay en estas pistas y lo delicada que es esta categoría tocas el piano 1cm de más y adiós muy buenas

[@NS-lz6jh]

Awesome driving!

[@brown55061]

What kind of motor, 13.5? Looks pretty fast and it's amazing how well controlled they are for 8 minutes. Props!

[@calebworland967]

Not 13.5t, 3.5t

[@VestedUTuber]

@@calebworland967 Yes, but there is a class for 13.5t, as well as 17.5t. Also, in mod class (which is the class ruleset this particular race uses) you don't always want to run the fastest, lowest turn motor. Sometimes it pays off to run a little less motor for better consistency, and 4.5T and even 5.5T motors are common in this class. I've even heard of people running 10.5Ts in mod at club-level races and doing well due to the more forgiving amount of power.

[@andresramoscedres8554]

@@VestedUTuber exacto hay pistas que no vale la pena correr con motores grandes y obvio en moqueta es imposible por lo pequeñas que sean las pistas, aunque los del video corran en modificado pero son un caso aparte...He tenido la suerte de correr con gente que ha ido a carreras mundiales y literalmente se quedaban apunto de doblarme yo con un 5.5 limitado y ellos en stock aunque nunca habia rodado en esa pista y ellos muchos años me parece tremendo que con esos motores sean tan buenos

[@VestedUTuber]

@@andresramoscedres8554 I don't speak Spanish, sorry.

[@andresramoscedres8554]

@@VestedUTuber Exactly there are tracks that are not worth running with large engines and obviously on carpet it is impossible because of how small the tracks are, even if the ones in the video run on modified but they are a separate case... I have been lucky enough to run with people who It has gone to world races and literally they will be about to double me with a limited 5.5 and they in stock(13.5)although I had never ridden on that track and they for many years it seems tremendous to me that with those engines they are so good

[@samson2395]

Wow that was soo entertaining!

[@muskokamike127]

holy shit these 1/12th are fast...dayum.....

[@Filmore1991]

Damn them RCs are so fast my eyes can't keep up with them. lol

[@cozypowellfan9447]

Wow!! that speed is just insane!!

[@natxooxtan]

¡Esa pista es una locura!

[@serpent977e]

how about motor kv??

[@Boss-dr2zk]

Not that much, they have just crazy gearing, about 50t pinion and 72 spur, that's where the speed comes from. Idk the kV, but the turns rate is from 17.5 to 6.5. The faster motors don't have a gearing that fast, more about 40t pinion and 80t spur

[@abcdefgh-db1to]

are they running stock or modified ?

[@henrywashington3732]

Based on speed alone, I'm sure it's modified.

[@NBC_NCO]

What is the name of this type of car and where can I get one ?

[@tehpunisher4568]

They are 1/12 scale pan cars. They usually come as kits so you need to build them from the ground up. Buy the chassis and get your own electronics. They should only be used in a competitive setting because of their low ground clearance. Plus they can get expensive. The chassis starts around $200 and get more expensive. Then you need a battery, motor, esc, receiver and transmitter. Usually these setups for a decent one hits about 700 to 1k

[@NBC_NCO]

@@tehpunisher4568 thank you !

[@NBC_NCO]

I just noticed... It only took 2 weeks for me, to get this notification .

[@tehpunisher4568]

@@NBC_NCO oof lol. Me personally would prefer a touring car with an entry level brushless system. I had one and that sucker zoomed on 2s lipos. at least 60 mph. There is one I recently saw that's basically a bashing onroad car. It's rather pricey but since its beefier I would say better for casual use

[@VestedUTuber]

In regards to the specific individual cars, there's a couple different modes in this particular class. If you want to get into 1/12th scale pan cars specifically the brands you'll want to look at are Serpent, XRAY, CRC, Yokomo and Schumacher. Associated used to also make one, but that brand has since refocused more towards off-road and entry-level stuff and there's really not room for a high-end racing machine in what's already a relatively niche class in their current lineup.

[@gamerbreadbaker]

These cars are going so fast, that I sneezed 1 time, and had no idea who was in first. Keep on racing peple.

[@andresramoscedres8554]

si he hablado con gente que ha corrido con esos coches en moqueta y dicen que no parpadean porque pierdes de vista el coche y terminan los 5min con los ojos llorosos

[@minjunkim2707]

Does anyone know where this track is? I live in Beijing and want to start RC.

[@richardbadish6990]

Idt they allow beginners at this track bro. Lol U'll have to find some smaller small club tracks.

[@JohnJaggerJack]

Mad props to the camera man

[@ItZPaTinhO]

I know the commentator adds a little emotion to the thing, but I think it shouldn't be talking out loud like this so it distracts the pilots..

[@fidelgarcia5683]

They didn't seem distracted at all lol

[@ausfuhrungg7337]

I want to see the pistol action

[@Aladinscave]

I got dizzy from just watching this never mind driving or filming it 🤯😂🏁

[@rodentcafeteria]

That was wild! Would have been great to hear the engines, if only for a brief moment.

[@RedRCLive]

They don't have engines, they use an electric powered brushless motor, so at most you get a low whine from the electrics together with the sound of the transmission.

[@rodentcafeteria]

@@RedRCLive Do you hear any shifting of any sort?

[@adtjtjdjsj]

@@rodentcafeteria No you dont.. They have a direct drive so no gear shift..

[@zapp7240]

the silence is too loud

[@0xf7c8]

When the commentator says a line the cars already lapped 2 times.

[@vonholdinghausen6886]

Never seen this before. Hat to watch it at 0.5 speed :) Christ...

[@sofijagallo8921]

Im pretty sure this might be sped up to look more intense. Ive been watching a lot of carpet racing and it looks more like .75 speed (in video settings)

[@johntuffy5721]

not sped up at all .... see it in person and you will think the cars in the video are slow

[@richardbadish6990]

Intense!

[@norbert207]

Hammer !

[@ChristianW1975]

Faaaaantastic commentator !

[@Nathan8rr]

he's a BAD mf'er

[@Teiki-pw8un]

Therefore, if all the motor radio controllers are using the same thing, unless the top misoperates, it will be in the same ranking as qualifying!

[@Hallands.]

The course is too small and tight for these fast cars imo...

[@BallZackRamone]

i would have crashed into a wall in 30 seconds over the commentator and him not shutting up

[@sonicstep]

It can be distracting at times. But I suppose you get used to it. I was on a rostrum at a race meeting with a guy whose alias was Bubbles. Each time Bubbles was announced, another racer had trouble maintaining his composure.

[@radarwill]

Do these announcers realize just how annoying they are!!

[@joesphblas6394]

Actually the announcer makes it more entertaining

[@johntuffy5721]

scotty is the GOAT .... wouldnt seem right if he wasnt there ..... i would love to have him announce a race i was in
