Setting up my 2wd buggy!

[@jasonsrcstuff9278]

Hey Ryan. I’m a 42 year old RC guy who recently got a few track cars. Haven’t done any racing since I was in my 20’s. Your channel has been super helpful getting back “up to speed”!! Thanks bro!!

[@RyanHarrisRC]

Awesome! Hope you enjoy those cars

[@agoodballet]

Same here. It’s crazy how much has changed.

Just got a B6. Really sweet little car. Good info here.

[@jackabravanel2859]

Ryan, your one of my favorite RC dudes to watch!!!

[@benpetz6816]

I had the similar same issue with steering on a 1/8 buggy a few months ago and found out after a longer investigation that at my model there was a wrong suggested length in the manual of the steering connection between servo horn and Ackerman plate. Since then I always center the Ackerman plate first with a caliper then center the servo horn in neutral to a 90 degree angle and then connect the rod resp. Modify the length of the rod and connect it then. BTW: Don’t forget if you change the front camber it will also change your front toe out and vice versa. For this reason I change only the settings of my front in a setup station.

[@waynewilkin3582]

thanks Ryan for your insights, Ive been racing for 30 years and im still learning.

[@jasonsrcstuff9278]

Saving this video to watch repeatedly!!! A ton of simple, easy to understand information. You are extremely good at explaining yourself in an informative and knowledgeable way. But still not losing everyone in technical terms. Awesome videos dude!!

[@RyanHarrisRC]

great to here dude! Best of luck dialing your car in!

[@luvman400]

Thank you so much for the tips and tricks best KZbin by far when it comes to racing and setup and how to videos

Hey ryan started racing about 8 months ago and your videos are very helpful thank you

[@justincruz2057]

Drive Your Race!! Im going to remember that as I practice!! Sorry for the loss of your father.. He must of been a great dad though!! I didn't grow up with a father but im raising my children the best i can with rc cars of course :) Still watching your channel learning.. setting up some cars of my own :) Best of luck to you brother!

[@Carrion0313]

This was a great video and a lot of info for a guy returning since leaving 25 years ago. Great content!

[@jameskrause4606]

Dang your videos are good. The effort you put into their look and content is very evident. Thank you!

[@jmann06]

That’s so funny!! I had a steering issue as well. Swapped a servo from my B6 to my B6.1 never looked at the manual and left the 1mm spacer in and had the same steering issue. Didn’t find it till I was checking out my buddy’s buggy and noticed his steering link was straight and mine was at an angle.

[@bboydrummer1]

Thank you for the tips! I especially love the diff explanation. This helped me understand the diff setups more!

[@BoomerAF]

More helpful info and all around great job with your videos. Great production, info, everything. Keep it up!! Easily one of the best produced RC KZbin channels I've come across.

[@454RagingBullSS]

Just a helpful tip. When measuring inside length or diameter you should use the other side of the caliper to get a more accurate measurement. Thank you for the great content as usual and good luck with the new setup.

[@bradstoybox8811]

Thanks Ryan, as always you've provided some great detail on car setup that will help me in a big way!

What I'm talkn about. Respect!! Nice to see people workn on their 1:10 scale 2wd buggys. Starting my own tlr-22 3.0 spec racer build. Nothn to powerful savox 1256-tg..Orion vortex ultimate stock..skyrc ts120 aluminum edition in blue with bluetooth link..spektrum radio..nano tech ultimate shorty 2s 90c..and the mip axle pucks setup along with tlr narrow gear set and a cool R17 chassis protector in blue with pearl lime paintjob. Florescent yellow velocity wheels with few diff. sets of prolines. Honestly skyrc esc's have proved to be pretty damn good especially for the nickel. But well see. Nice associated by the way!!

Switched to the schelle towers a few months ago. Will never go back to stock towers lol. Going to Mills tomorrow to do some regionals prep and Play with springs, suspension set ups and tires. Its funny how your video topics are always timed to come out right when im in the process of doing the same thing or preparing to the same thing with my cars. It works out well!!! Good luck at INS!

Nice video again! I usually drive and watch rc drifting stuff , but i looooove your channel. It nice to feel your passion for this hobby and for video making. You really inspiring me for my channel, thank you so much and keep uploading 👍

[@evhexrc1765]

I had wanted to go to the JC INS race at Beach RC, but my $ has to go elsewhere. I also haven’t bought my first 1:1 truck yet, so I couldn’t have gone anyway. If you want to come to World Of RC Parts/Thunder Alley annual Xmas giveaway race on Dec.15, come on down for sure! You won’t regret it. I’ve also got a question regarding the used AE B5m CE I bought to race 17.5 off road on gray carpet. I haven’t rebuilt it yet because I need to get down to the closest off road carpet track to ask racers for setups. In testing the buggy out the way I got it used in the box,(minus some esc programming, re-soldering of all the crappy joints, and dropping in a used reedy sonic m3 17.5), it will drive straight in first gear, but when it goes up to 2nd gear it try to spin out and turn to one side. Does that mean that the diff is too loose? Good luck at Beach RC and say hi(and thanks) to Lucas Loring for me! (Just say it’s from the kid who asks way too many questions and bought his TLR 10-SCTE 3.0 and some MIP drivers there this summer and asked him more questions... my colors were orange up front and blue in the rear for the first body I painted for it and also that he hasn’t replied to the last email I sent him months ago after one of the two hurricanes lol. He should know who I am. If he doesn’t, he can scroll through his email inbox to remember.) He’s an awesome employee there. -Ev

[@RyanHarrisRC]

Sorry to hear that man, Beachrc is a days drive away? Lol

[@rctrax7787]

Awesome! I am doing a rebuild on my B6 right now, and I should check whether my servo is right or not. Currently, I am looking for more steering, but I have been playing with setup stuff and I want to see if the position of the servo is wrong before I do that.

[@RyanHarrisRC]

Best of luck with the setup dude!

[@robertmoore119]

For steering if your unsure of your steering. Ensure your servo horn is installed at ninety degrees with the radio and vehicle powered on before setting turnbuckle length. Then make sure to set epa so you don't overdrive your servo, or make sure your getting full travel for left and right. If your car pushes on the track. There are many ways to get what you want from your car. Different methods suit different drivers. Make sure to make one change at a time, ensure the change actually makes you faster. If not, revert to the previous setting before trying another change.

When is the next video coming out? How about footage from Beach RC? Thanks for all the work you do for people like me re-entering the hobby. 👍👍👍

Hey. Loving the channel. How do you keep the front end on a 2wd buggy down.

[@thomasgerber2555]

Hi Ryan! I really enjoy your videos very much and I hope, you keep up doing this! I am a hobby racer (1/8th nitro and ebuggy and 1/10 2WD stock 13.5) and an ambitioned hobby fotographer from Hamburg/Germany. So I really see the quality and effort you put in the technical aspect of your videos! Great! And I like the content as well of course! Thanks a lot! I struggle a little at the moment with motortemperature and timing and gearing my 13.5t-motor correctly. Maybe you can have this as a topic for one of you next videos. Best regards from Hamburg!

[@HaloRiot]

One question have you ever read into suspension dynamics. Like what race teams use. Because all the same principles apply. F1 and Baja truck would be good material.

[@dat5un]

Hi Ryan have you ever raced on lose dirt tracks ? I'm trying to get more steering and i've changed the servo position back more as I had the same problem as you did. Front shocks are on and the outside holes top and bottom rears are in the middle . This track is an old school type track made from clay not rolled and bumpy through corners I'd like to get the car more settled mid corner as I cant use full power .

[@matthewnolte7887]

Hey Ryan, I’m in my late 40s and getting back into RC racing after about 15 years! Can’t wait, but lots has changed... tying to catch up. Any recommendations for a budget battery charger? I know you do did a video on a budget setup, but can’t seem to find it. Thank you for the content and inspiration....

[@Titan520]

Hi Ryan, what servo arm are you using? Is it an original aluminum AE 15.5mmm arm? Is that the grip type two screw or the regular single bolt servo arm? I am trying to decide whether to get the AE servo 15.5mm or the Exotek which is 15mm, what do you think?

[@gid1880]

What a great video (again)! Altough I do not understand everything well, because of my poor english and the technical stuff i have never seen before, I watched your hole KZbin-content. I especially like the sights you are showing of your ways, if you are going to races. Your channel made me trying to get into running rc cars.

Have you ever corner balanced your chassis with four small scales to put some data around spring weight & preload settings?

[@RyanHarrisRC]

I have not, but definitely want to try!

[@FrodoFett]

@@RyanHarrisRC In theory, spring weight should be based on the overall weight of the vehicle. Corner balance should determine those spring rates as well as preload and overall shock length front->rear & left->right. Bound & Rebound would be controlled by the fluid CST. I think (maybe) valving would then control high- & low-speed bound & rebound to compensate for bumps vs jumps. There is plenty of math involved, but all the equations are out there based on 1/1th scale racecar engineering. Disclaimer: I am new to RC and learning a lot (thanks in no small part to you!), so this is all hypothetical from previous experience.
