This honestly reminds me of the golden age of rc. Racing used to be FUN! Spec racing is the way to push this hobby back into the mainstream.

[@robertless6404]

I have a slash I race with the STRC rustler chassis. I love to run it because I can beat the snot out of it and not worry about parts because they're everywhere..😎

[@reepaify]

Love what you do for the community. I tune in just to see what kind of new idea you have, or if it's something I personally thought of but don't have the nerve to publicly talk about. Keep it up, RC will only get better with you showing a lot of us how it can prosper.

[@michaeldorich4485]

The hobby needs more spec racing for kids with Slashes. Great video.

It was such a blast to host and can't wait for many more!

[@kg5nja693]

That spec slash race would be a blast. I would like to see your clinic in 918. Thanks for all that you do for the rc community.

[@Martin-pu1ti]

It was fun watching the slash race. Nice video Mark 👍

[@wendyon4517]

Great that you are helping so many. You might want to stress the "no cheating" aspect. A yellow car missed a jump, tried to climb from the side rather than go three feet and take the jump. Then they gave up and drove on missing a jump and two turns... newbies need to know.

[@Philzila702]

[@byzone0632]

My local track RC3 in Huntsville Alabama is going to start a class for spec slash next season, I think they got a little inspiration from your videos to give it a try.

[@CaylaHomolka]

Love what your doing man with showing awareness about the RC world. The vids you put out are fricking awesome. Keep it up man. Been out the world for awhile and now after 9 years of sitting in a box I now have 3 brushed slash 2wd and 1 4wd brushless slash. The town I live in doesn't have a RC store close buy so I'm left with the all mighty internet. Do you have some good links to some great Traxxas parts and upgrads. Really want to get back into spec racing again.

The green strips are for the wheels after you put on the decals on face of the rim you use the strips and put them inside the dish of the rim

[@michaelsherman1018]

Sorry to have missed this, got the flu in El Paso and was in bed all weekend...can't wait for next event!!

[@drewsin86]

that class would be a good playlist on your channel. and I doubt you would ever be up this way near Seattle so youtube might be the only way to show some of us. maybe film two noobies as you walk them through it. it's something I would like to do with my little brother someday and this summer might be perfect.

[@carloss2825]

I think the straight lines are for the inner part of the wheel so make the hole beed lock green

the inside of the rim lip i believe are the other decals

[@raymondblanchard4317]

Hey Mark, I sent you an instruction video through messenger on how to install those x Maxx wheel decals when I shipped them out to you. It shows where everything goes and how to use a hair dryer or heat gun to get out all the bubbles and make the vinyl stick stronger. If you need anymore or another set just give me a shout, no cost bud also any color.

Mark, grandson, and I like your vids. My grandson wants another Traxxas, a Slash 4 x 4. Since he does alot of upgrades, shouldn't he buy the one with the brushed Titan motor which is the least expensive out of the 3 and do his upgrades from the least expensive car since he's going to replace the motor, esc, shocks etc anyway? Your thoughts. Thanks
