[@SketchbookGuitar]

"Gonna buy my wife some cabinets in the kitchen" Good choice. if you still want to be in the hobby.

[@longboardguy]

My girl actually likes rc cars but barely drives them lol. But she has a couple of her own so that helps

[@ghost9744]

hi guys, I love the video. just wanted to correct a small detail. the likelihood of success you have described is the one used for random coin toss which is not the case in a race, let alone, in a skill based race. actually, the odds are supposed to be higher then described. in any case, i love the content you upload! good job!

[@petejones6827]

the odds are almost impossible to calculate as each person that enters changes the odds as if its a bad racer then odds went up if your good of course but if its a really good one and your at the bottom of the tier of racers then your odds went WAYYYYYYYYYYYY down. something like this cannot be looked at as chance to win as you could never truly know, its not really as simple as a roll of the dice or a coin toss where mathematics alone can bring you close enough if not dead on to the odds

[@V8chump]

This is so sweet. Any form of rc is good to see spreading, I’d somehow like to put on an event like this one day to promote the hobby I enjoy and maybe get some new people into it. A bashing exhibition would be sweet. The person with the cleanest landings, most tricks, and the least turnovers wins? I’d like to see it

[@AMain_Hobbies]

I'd like to see that too and that type of event is pretty rare. There are a lot of bashers out there, and having some sort of Olympics with various challenges and tricks would be really cool. -Brett

[@ryankozak99]

3:57 - Math is off by a factor of 💯. "1%" is already dividing by 100, so move the decimal 2 places to the right for both results. 0.3906%, 99.6094%

[@prestonla2588]

This is the comment I was looking for haha

[@R1MotorLab]

Lol

[@ItsAlwaysHappyHour]

Yep, that's the first thing I picked up on too. 1/256 is not 0.003906%.

[@ianbudgetrc2574]

Looking at the speed pass chart, the Losi 22s noprep RTR can easily hit those speeds out of the box!

[@mavuorema5361]

But there are rules

[@steventurner3901]

More to it than that Ian. Traction is the biggest factor in this racing series.

[@TheWildPikey]

Top speed doesn't necessarily mean you have a fast 132ft time, chasing top end cab make you slower 👍

Lookin like the rc rtr masses are going to blow up on this one, massive amounts of money to be made here. I can remember back in 1990 running an 8 cell drag car, with a 9 turn nuclear assault motor. Can't for the life of me remember the name of the car. It was a graphite chassis car.

Dang, I didn't win and I am still buying the wife new cabinets. If I did, I'd upgrade the camper and do more trail crawling!

[@gunsandcommissions]

Nitro drag racers use tire expansion as a second gear. Surprised rc drag racers aren't taking advantage of this phenomenon

[@sampuhhupmas5666]

Maybe it's due to a much shorter chassis. I'd assume it's a handful as is, so adding an element of surprise in the form of tire expansion wouldn't be good.

[@learntoplay8524]

Only problem with this is it needs a center barricade to separate the cars . Seen to many times a car drift into opposite lane and get back in theirs and win. Even if you drift over a little bit you shouldn't win. It csuses your opponent to prematurely brake or swerve. Just my opinion, but i think its legit!
