Perfect timing on this vid! I'm finally going to try a speed run. Not looking for anything crazy hoping for low 80s when I'm done. Don't want to break the bank since I'm only going to do it every once in a while. Not enough straight aways where I live.

[@indyhassoul]

As an owner of 7 cars, an XO-1, infraction, typhon 6s, erevo 2.0, erevo 1/16, Rustler vlx, and my sons latraxx pre-runner, SHOULD have watched this earlier, but you're spot on man! I've fortunately found an empty warehouse parking lot nearby with approximately 100+ feet side to side to avoid any impact. Really love this video, because I've got a need for speed. Much love, sir!

[@islandrc-duke1972]

Alot of great info,never thought about the steering rate like that for high speed runs,will use it know. Just getting into this hobby and this info is greatly appreciated. And the tire blow out was awesome.

[@SUPAUK]

Wow pure dedication awesome demo I would like to see more wltoys 144001 videos

[@Andre_M_3D]

Thanks for the tips sir. I also think it is important to use the correct battery/ESC connectors. You would not want to use a deans connector with a 6 or 8s speed run vehicle. One should always figure out how many amps the system will draw and use the correct connectors. Example XT90, XtT150, EC5 etc. for high current set ups.

[@DriftomaniacsRC]

Thanks for the valued added tip. That's a good point

[@MoBay876rc]

Tip #10 know when to stop I have a problem with doing that some time 😂 great video 👌🏾

[@The8429]

A lot of good info there. I started to modify my Typhon for speed runs and then realized there was more to it. I put everything back to stock.

[@MelbourneExclusive0]

What modifications did you do?

[@aminmoore8042]

Thanks for this video! Very informative for someone just starting speed runs. Like myself. Any tips for me to get the most outta my Team corally Dementor v2? I'm running it stock on 6s😊

[@ernazhuzan3328]

in the section the tire exploded I was really shocked, it really helped me to learn more ... more ... and more ... 👍

[@NordicRC]

Nice. You’re getting good at these Top 5/10 videos. Great tips. Jeee, you got a 400A ESC. Remarkable.

[@DriftomaniacsRC]

THey have to use the castle link to 'release' the full 400A, beyond me so I bought the usb link and will do a video on setting it up.

[@michaelvesely]

thanks for posting this vid. I just got into TT-02's and i am hoping to do some speed runs as soon as the weather breaks here.

[@DriftomaniacsRC]

Hope it helps I’m still learning every day and with speed runs they go very well or very badly and I’m in Norcal and waiting for the rain to stop

[@dylanchadderton1]

My bp is 58.7 with a Ruslter 4X4 VXL out of the box with zero upgrades, trying to break that 60mph mark. Thanks for this video.

[@jennybrant5923]

Great Vid thanks for info

[@rcbustanut2057]

Great info, thanks so much for sharing this info! 👍👍 I'm new to the speed run game. It is indeed a lot harder than it looks I must admit lol. I have already busted a couple pieces on my Traxxas Rustler 2WD car, the front caster block & the rear hub carrier. And that was only at 40mph when I was still running the brushed titan t12 lol. Now I'm running brushless, Hobbywing 120A ESC with a Surpass Hobby Rocket V3 Pro Spec 540 10.5T 3800kv motor. And just got a castle creations 1410 motor, 3800kv. Now I realize how hard it is to keep control of the car lol, the gyro sensor has definitely helped a lot. But I'm trying to figure out the braking. There's a "Brake Force" setting & a "Drag Brake Force" setting on the programming card. Not only sure how the 'Drag Brake Force' affects the car & differs from the 'Brake Force' setting. Thanks again for the great info, thumbs up for sure! 👍👍

[@N1NJAKIDD]

If I remember rightly, drag brake force is brake effect when you lift off the accelerator. So think of engine braking in a car or motorbike.

[@rcbustanut2057]

@@N1NJAKIDD Thanks, yeah, I think from what I read & a recent video I watched it's the brakes applied in the neutral position. Which I guess for speed runs, I may want that at 0 maybe. And the brake force ~50-75%.

[@smiley37greg]

@@rcbustanut2057 test around with braking settings. I've ruined a new set of pro line Trencher tires (flat spots ) by locking them up expensive lesson. Controlled braking is achieved if the tires aren't sliding. Some esc have an adjustable coast setting. This helps the car settle off power prior to drag braking. Good luck cheers

[@rcbustanut2057]

@@smiley37greg Thanks, yeah, definitely don't want to lock the tires lol. I have since then upgraded to a hobbywing max8 combo system, 2200kv motor. Now I need a tarmac to stop 🛑 😄. But i have been playing with the brake settings & have gotten better at stopping. Drag brakes definitely helps a lot by helping slow down the car in the neutral position before starting to use the brakes. You can swing by my channel & check out the car, thing is a beast & I have more upgrades coming lol.

[@anythingcars1389]

Also how's a 25t Pinon with a 76t spur gear ok with a 2s lipo and a 4730k motor

[@earlmoorhead5555]

Good advise thanks for The info

[@davidpresutti3014]

Thanks for sharing. I have to same typhon. Would you stay with the tires that are on it or are you thinking about going to the foams?

[@DriftomaniacsRC]

go for tires made by GRP I've the S3 ones on my typhon and they barely balloon at all on speed runs and get sticky when warm. JJ customs sells a wide range of the GRP tires

[@bigboytoyzrc9258]

Great info and demonstration. You've earned my sub!

Welcome aboard!

Are rustler Anacondas good tires for drag racing and 50mph speed runs?

[@brenthumphreys5747]

Keep em coming for the newby Ritchie! 👍

[@curtisaldrich7339]

I see alot of your speed cars doesn't have a front wing?

[@curtisaldrich7339]

It helps .

Great tips Rich thanks. Last clip with your Typhon Arrma tuff woww it realy is. Good work bro 👍💪💪🌞🌞🌞😎

[@Jackie-wg5dy]

My pb is 90 with a modded 4 Tec 2.0. I just bought a arrma limitless and spent 1000 on 8s electronics and it’s Spektrum 8s combo with 2 4s batteries. Def gonna go 130+. I’m using a 45 tooth on the v2 limitless.

[@Jackie-wg5dy]

Still not running yet. Ordered a gt kit

[@bigbbadnoobian]

Is it bad to run a esc rated up to 8s and run smaller motors with like 2s 3s etc?

[@tvon4966]

As long as you don’t actually put it on over 3s and even on 3s WATCH YOUR TEMPS 2s id say you wouldnt have to worry

[@Alohakoa59]

Have you done a video on how to do an alignment on your car?

👍Very helpful video Richie boy.👍

Great tips!!

[@gearsofwar65ify]

Great video I subscribe keep up the good work

[@michaelmiller7199]

I would add using walke talkes so the driver and spotter can communicate if possible.

[@DriftomaniacsRC]

My friend that is very very good idea. I see people running a lot faster than me not even looking behind them. If it goes wrong a 15lb rc car hitting anyone or anything that’s a life changing lawsuit! I could run much faster but we only do so when it’s safe to do so

[@uacl028]

great info

[@davidpresutti3014]

I also forgot to ask if you got the notorious fixed up and tried some 4s batteries? Just curious 😉

[@DriftomaniacsRC]

Yes it's all fixed, but I've not tried the 4S as yet, will do later this week

[@amandawen4509]

Need to discuss about safety when speed running; its not discussed nearly enough. I've seen too many people stand too close to a passing rc car doing high speeds. One hit and it'll take you out.

[@tobydyes]

Lower KV you can gear up

[@barajastony0]

It's Driftomaniac right? So where are the drift rc cars?

[@DriftomaniacsRC]

Drift mainly at speed on loose dirt! I started out with drift cars in NJ but weather was vary variable and there weren't the drift tracks around 5 years ago that they are now. Used to have 2speed nitro car set up for drifting, 60mph sideways is a lot of fun. Got into the faster trucks and buggies, best love of the moment is my losi super rock rey which on loose dirt on 8S is way more fun to drift!

[@jamesmeans4601]

Thank you we totally agree with you and this video me and my brother .

[@DriftomaniacsRC]

@@jamesmeans4601 Been out with the Traxxas Rally today having fitted new RX and Transmitter to it. Best upgrade I think I've ever bought, just laughed myself silly, full throttle drifts with it on castle power, it's now officially my best handling RC car, just sublime. Editing as I type this!

[@dylanchadderton1]

I found a service road, that literally has zero traffic and is 1.2 miles long. Plenty of room to do 100-150mph runs easy.

[@davidrivero7943]

Take an extra City block to slow down & brake your 72 mph Bandit , 2 wd brakes are hairy beyond 50 mph & if in Suburbia , you might want to wear a Safety vest for the distracted & misguided individuals in real Cars. 👌😉

[@DriftomaniacsRC]

loving the vest idea!

[@DeRock401]

I can’t get my fucking car to drive straight to do speed runs.
