Watching this video right now with my nine-year-old son and he has no clue I have his first Traxxas rustler in the Box behind the couch for when this is over!

traxxas rustler? for a 9yr old?! that seems a lil too much.....i know iam saying this late XD i started out with the HPI mini recon 1:18 scale as a 8yr old, and i didnt play with it too much either. if you are reading this, how is your son doing? :D

[@GGrimm-Deadstone66]

Just introduced my 8 yr old son to hobby grade rc cars today, made him watch this before we took our traxxas rustlers over to the local school parking lot & thrashed them around! Keep up the good work on the videos!

[@Joseph_Garcia2010]

thanks a lot for helping me! tomorrow is my birthday and im turning ten and i might get an rc car! So i decided even if i wont i might as well learn so i know how to use it when i get it. thanks again!

[@filmgaming1]

Great video for beginners! However, for us experienced drivers, is it possible you could make a video showing us advanced techniques such as flips, jumps, controlling the car in the air (steering), etc?

[@rcdriver]

It is something we have planned for the future. So much to do, so little time. LOL

[@TonysRcTechboom]

RCDriver_Online i agree, look forward to seeing that video. 👍😁👍

Nate 07 What was your first rc car?

[@Hashslinger69]

I got mine 5 months ago and I love it so fun

[@nate0765]

@@cyberduck7377 I just stumbled across this video so its a little late lol, but its a stampede 4x4. I've done a brushless conversion and still drive it all the time!

[@Izaan2007]

I am a begginer, so what to do to stop the car from higher speeds within a short distance. If I suddenly apply reverse throttle, will it cause the motor to damage (or) it is the right method. My car reaches 40km/h top.

[@johnnyblaze8224]

Very USEFUL!!!! can’t wait to purchase my first Rc

[@paulbroadbent5070]

excellent video. many, many thanks.

[@dynasty4851]

First time using on of these powerful cars. Excellent teaching! I'm so subscribing to your channel!

[@Night_Diver81]

i hope you guys do one on how to control backflips... and multiple backflips i could use pointers.

[@rcdriver]

We'll put it on our "to do" list!

[@prowolfwolf8879]

Ian Enciso on doing backflips with rc's something to look for is the kick of your rc when you go full throttle. If your rc does a weely it has enough kick to do a back flip. Ok if you're rc is high enough off the ground, go full throttle in mid-air, that will kick your rc into a backflip

[@martinsonly]

Thanks for this!

[@jdpaslRC]

Rc for life 👍👍👍

[@itscraftingtime1873]

its amazing we can learn very easily

[@rcandmorewiththekids85]

Great tutorial video. Looking it with my son.

[@joseCalderon1976]

Awesome video for rookies as usual. I drive my RC cars very well with not too much experience.

[@ICP1SBJ]

I needed this because I back-ordered the new Traxxas C8 Vette. I had a Tamiya Hornet as a kid but the remote I used way back when is called Stick Transmitter. I'm sure I'll be fine but just scared of wrecking a $400 car haha.

[@NinjaZX6Rider]

Cool video, looking at some of your others. I bought the Rustler 4 X 4 VXL, it's a blast and wow it's fast. So one question I have, while driving around and slinging doughnuts, I noticed the body gets a lot of gravel in it. Got one against the driveshaft, scratched it up some. I got a good bit of money in my car, so I want to have fun with it, but not tear it up. Is there any type of cover to help prevent that, or anything to minimize this?

[@thatmotoguy3140]

Can you make a video on how to make an rc dirt track with jumps. I have a Traxxas bigfoot. thanks.

[@rcdriver]

That would take a lot of planning, but we'll keep it in mind.

[@amistry2092]

I am trying to get my dad into rc, this should help him. I have experience with rc, but I only have a rustler. Are there any bang for buck cars for begginners?

[@Andrew-bv6qc]

Amistry20 my first rc was a ecx torment I've owned many vehicles and my collection is huge. The torment is pretty quick really reliable I mean in my case extremely I own 3 ecx veichles all are amazing and they're easy to work on and parts are easy to find hope this helped

[@CORINKERSTEN]

ID Say You Should Get An ECX AMP!!!!

[@Andrew-bv6qc]

ultra rc yea those or goo to I have an my versiom

[@amistry2092]

thanks for you help, i live in australia, i dont know if i can get them at my lhs, ill try though

[@jamiewise7980]

Actually you would get a better car if you just upgrade your rustler Because an ecx isnt much better than your rustler!! Like get a brushless motor and lipo batteries!!!

[@xiongproductions7445]

my nitro losi 8ight is having trouble starting, the pull start is really easy to pull, and when you pull it it's not as loud as before, it just make a dull sound.

[@HALOman-vi2tg]

Richard Xiong probably the piston sleeve has more wear than before. When it gets older it will be easier to pull

[@xiongproductions7445]

HALOman 4782 but it wont start

[@HALOman-vi2tg]

Richard Xiong hmm that's strange I'm not big into gas motors so look up a forum or something

[@rcdriver]

Sounds like the pull start may need a new one-way bearing.

[@jasonpersaud5259]

It's basically the same thing as you grade but only certain one have a pistol grip controller accept the thing where u can go full lock or a not full lock

Did you ever get around to making the jump tips video?

[@kymbo72]

Hey Greg, Not sure that this is relevant to this particular video, but with my electric brushless SC Truck, i run a battery through it and then have to wait for motor to cool b4 running a second/third battery. How can I cool my motor fast? would it be a good idea to rest an ice pack on it or something like that perhaps? Thanks.

[@tombo3425]

kymbo72 you probably shouldn't use a ice pack because it could damage or crack the metal. I use a integy motor fan on mine and great.

[@Lokithefeline]

good job. though i had a hard time seeing the truck with you in the way haha. other than that good job.

i know he is doing this purely for the video, but they way he holds the controller is hurting my brain just watching it XD

[@isatntt]

What car is he using?

[@rcdriver]

It is a Traxxas Firestone Bigfoot.

[@isatntt]

Thanks!

[@isatntt]

One more question is it a good starter car I've never owned a traxxas but I've heard they are very reliable fast and strong

[@rcdriver]

Both of my 7 year old twins have one. They are good trucks. Pretty tough, but like anything, if you abuse it, there is always the potential of something going wrong. Luckily there is great part support for Traxxas. The truck is quick with a NiMh pack and faster with a LiPo. Then you can upgrade to brushless down the road to go even faster if you desire.

[@marre.2754]

Infromational video! But you were a bit in the way to see the RC car.
