(RC) How To Improve as a Driver Part 1

[@richwrag3308]

As the old saying goes, to finish 1st,1st you must finish. Sound advice from the man.

[@byzone0632]

I will say that attitude can make or break you as a racer. I started racing about 6 years ago when I was 9 years old, and for the first 3 years I was kind of a hothead. There was a point in time where if I wasn’t winning I didn’t want to be there. But over the last 3 years I almost completely worked out my attitude and I had so much more fun racing. If i make a mistake it’s not a big deal anymore, like my dad used to say put your head down and drive. If you can get your attitude strait you will be a much better driver.

Love it. Something I tell myself to keep from driving over my head is “slow is smooth, smooth is fast”. Giving it 90% and not crashing in a race is faster than giving it 100% and crashing a few times.

Hey! that Lorenzo is my boyfriend, he shares this with me so it was very nice to see how his hobby looks like hahahaha looks fun tho

[@mvbracing]

One of the things that helped me over the years is to have the car set up for consistency rather than for the hero lap, so i usually have a car with very slight understeer, cars with great steering tend to bite. Edit: this in turn gives confidence allowing you to focus on your driving

[@shealaking8557]

Now, that was a thoughtful video! Thanks so much! I have no plans to go racing, at least not in the immediate future, however I suspect trying to cultivate a calmer, more relaxed mindset will increase my enjoyment even just banging around the empty parking lots or parks where I run my truck. All the best for 2025!🙂

[@Ledsrule1]

Dude you should be a therapist OMG. I keep passing your videos to my son He has now just completed 7 races he’s making the B main consistently, after he viewed your last video 6 times WE made the A main. Your a big help

[@RoachRC]

Dude that's amazing! It's really nice to see that my videos actually help people. Good luck to you guys in the future.

[@toomuchcoffeefpv]

The LoFi music that you play in the background of your videos is awesome. Thanks again for producing some really great content, I know it isn't easy!

[@leonardlacasse3730]

If I know I've already fallen too far back I call it practice with the gang. As well I practice to yield right of way to gain respect 🏴

[@benjaminliptonjr9329]

Your video was like asmr to me. I really appreciate the way you explained things. Really great video brother!

[@broccli2007]

That was some good racing out there today, everyone was on point!

[@ayske1]

Came back after five years. I think one thing that helped me possibly was doing different disciplines, starting buggy then doing on road. I think racing 21.5 has helped me retain muscle memory coming back into buggy. Subbed. Very well narrated channel!

[@Aro800]

Thanks for the video. Had shocking race day on the weekend. 3 DNFs racing novice was taken out hard in race one didn't realise I had broken rear pill and drive shift kept popping off.Didn't realise till end of race 3. Got help from the locals. Lucky I'm in a great club. But just couldn't shake it off. I don't live near a track so when get to go I get really excited. When it's bad day it's crap. Long drive home. Thanks again.

[@RoachRC]

I understand that, lot of the tracks here in GA are quite spread out. The more you do it the less nervous you'll get. :)

[@islandrc-duke1972]

Cool information and video

[@whoop-tangfpv1887]

Awesome video! Keep it up man, love the videos!!

[@ciscothelight]

You just shaved a second off my time sir..Thank You!👍😎..You know thats a lot in RC..lol

[@johnsorensen5758]

Nice words of wisdom thanks😀👍

[@slugo1910]

Good video, I was thinking as I was listening to you this guy is the Bob Ross of rc and you brought his name up lol weird.

[@JoePT46]

Some cool tips on this video, thanks! I couldn't help but notice that you are using the FlySky NB4 which has been on my radar. You should do a review video on it and let us know your experience with it so far and maybe compare to some other radios you have used also.

[@RoachRC]

That's actually a friend of mine filming. he's the one using it, I still use my old Futaba 4pls. Though that is a very good idea. Everybody who's switched to it so far though have all loved it so take that as you will.

[@colestaples2010]

Actively trying to slow down is the best way for me to improve lap times. Slower is faster!

[@Joe_Jenkins404]

Yoooo shout out Fernando, he owned toys for boys where i started racing at!! Sorry for spamming your KZbin comments but i been watching all your vids in anticipation of my kit arriving

[@RoachRC]

Lol I don't mind.

[@hannahko9858]

Haha at 0:18 so that's what you wanted to take a video of our cars for.

[@bigchopstherealoggamer1280]

I see you are using a flysky nobel nb4 me and my friend recently bought 1 could you please do a video of the throttle curve ,Dual rate . We just started club racing

[@RoachRC]

Great idea. I'll make a video on that sometime in the future.

[@benreeves8558]

Great videos, thanks...from your voice I cant imagine you getting angry though...

[@RoachRC]

It's hard to really get me angry when I'm racing. I'm usually having too much fun for that to happen.

[@RcOffroad9513]

I've been racing for almost 3 years. I've found most fast guys, won't tell you all there secrets. I've gotten faster, and am pretty fast in sportsman. I am looking to go to the next level, and that part seems to be a secret... We have a trophy race at my track this weekend, I will be racing etruggy, ebuggy, and nitro buggy, not sure where you are located? But it's a great track, in a park, with the track layout built by Bobby Moore, owner of RCTrackMasters, (he builds, PNB, Wicked Weekend, and a few others. The track is wicked fast and it flows well. Check it out on my channel! WCRC is my home track in Wilkesboro Nc. Cool vid man!

[@RoachRC]

NC isn't TOO far from where I am. I'm in Acworth GA. Also good luck on your trophy race.😉

[@RcOffroad9513]

@@RoachRC Wilkesboro Nc, try to make it some time! My Name is Jason McNeill, hope yo see ya there sometime! Thanks

[@RoachRC]

@@RcOffroad9513 There's a bucket list of tracks I wish to visit during the summer. Hopefully I can visit😊
