[@johnmartinii77]

Great video. I'm just starting and this is a ton of help.

I use the exotek flat carbon wheelie bar.i also changed it to one wheel and I’m using the noble nb4.starting the new season with the noble.that wheelie bar has taken some hits.I’m running the Losi 22s.my last run last year was 2.800 at 53mph.my esc took a dump.but have a better one this year.it’s fun and thank you for all the info and nice job with your cars to.👍

[@Dorkyand40]

thanks ghost..keep it up. let me know how the noble works out for you if you end up using it heavily for radio tuning

I'm running the dr10 stock chassis I upgraded my shocks balance my wheels changed wheelie bar that helped my car a lot of course I'm still running the same set up but I did change my motor to a 3.0t and a drk esc I'm running 2.4s right now

[@Dorkyand40]

You’re on the right track. That was nearly my setup most of last year.

[@billynichols1008]

@@Dorkyand40 if u where to c my car on paper it shouldn't make a straight pass but it works I did finally go to a slipper eliminator

[@LonerSurfer]

Get a shock equalizer. Shocks set up equally improve handling. Even more so in a straight line going REALLY fast. How many build their shocks emulsion style? My biggest advantage when it comes to handling that much power and speed

[@jmanhuntley]

Just ordered my DRK and 3T with Wireless link. Thanks for the info bud !

[@Dorkyand40]

Nice. Fun times ahead

Damn, I wish you made this video last year.. Lol My losi it took a lot of work and still getting there.

[@Dorkyand40]

yeah man it took all year to learn it lol

[@thundervalleycbshop6362]

Cool video man hey I think there's a few things you ought to look into or at least try check out the new monster grip traction compound they sell the whole kit with pre-grip and tire conditioner and then the traction compound it works excellent it softens the rubber nice and supple for reaction tires and check out straight line spoilers I've got a few of them and they work great

[@Dorkyand40]

pretty sure ill be trying little things like this since my car should be on point and ready to go :) i hope lol

Dude my first 1/10 is a c6r 3 spd , is powerful as all hell and it twists with the best on road course, I’m stoked to be getting into no prep drag racing 🤯

[@troyclayton8659]

Ya me too! I don't play the rtr game I just build them

[@LonerSurfer]

My DR10 is the most exotic RC vehicle I’ve ever owned. Titanium everywhere. Carbide speed bearings. Lockout slipper clutch. Ground effects package. Front and rear canards. High downforce rear wing. Kashima shocks. Everything but a carbon fiber chassis. I still don’t think I need one. I do well without one. Very well. Much more stable than the carbon cars. You still have to make it to the finish line and way too powerful and light usually doesn’t make it that easily. It even has titanium wheel nuts. I have touring car technology in this one. I go to Australia to get my touring car sh*t…

I see it in the back ground You're a Star Trek geek. I see the Defiant.

[@Dorkyand40]

Wow nice man!! Good call out!! One of the hardest and best models I’ve ever built :)

[@draggerlane04090]

@@Dorkyand40 I have the same model I know what you mean. You should try building the Polar lights Enterprise refit. 1/350 scale. I have own that kit for 8 years now and it intimadates me still. I do custom lighting effects and the paint that is required for it is really hard to do. Some day I'll start it.

[@soulbrother3299]

I like the chevy Silverado I just bought one..not painted yet..😢 looking at chevy Camaro 1987 body...to race probably take your advice and roll with the vette

[@scuffleburgoutdoors]

Thanks as always for the knowledge and thanks for the video sir !

[@danveca8304]

What is everyone using for shocks/springs on Outlaw cars? I have a set of Hot Racing shocks (TD90X06) that fit well with my 22S. My problem is finding different weight springs for tuning. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Keep up the great videos. Your channel has taught me more about this end of the hobby than any other!

[@Dorkyand40]

Custom works springs. Offered in many lengths and weights

[@danveca8304]

@@Dorkyand40 👍Thanks bud! I was looking at those and was unsure.👍

[@larrythodgson7230]

Don't forget to balance your tires on your dr10 video of it

[@Dorkyand40]

Good call. Always balance the rubber

[@skylarsoper241]

My dude I’m going to get a losi 22s with 71 gto body , going to go nuts on it and make a big chief tribute

[@robertregalado1015]

Have you ever tried weighting the inside of the wheel ? Add weight and balance all in one I would think.

[@Dorkyand40]

Just balance with the putty inside of the rim. That’s it.

[@joshherrman3201]

Awesome information in this post Chad. How you messed around with the 22s roller?

[@Dorkyand40]

I haven’t. Only one I haven’t touched yet. All Of this should def apply though.

[@cliffordprofit1815]

I got a drag slash. What should I do to make it go straight and faster

[@manuel39164]

You Cut the showtime Wheel or Take it wide on a Normal Reaktion..tire nice day

[@Dorkyand40]

showtime+ uncut..glue em up and good to go with foams or air if you want to try that

[@ConditionZero76]

Chad side note Bro, quick question what do you think I should set my DRK 3.5t can timing at? it's paired up with MMX8s currently (eventually I'm gonna get the Big Boy 4 pole castle motor) but for now, I'm also running timing on the esc. I wasn't sure if the DRK had sweet spot on the end bell for timing ? Thanks Buddy

[@Dorkyand40]

think most of us have found that around 32-34 is actually around 30 so that would be a good start without using an analyzer

[@ConditionZero76]

@@Dorkyand40 Ok cool Thanks, I appreciate the jump start 🤙🏽💯🏁

what do you think about the Dragrace Concepts AXIS Tires????

[@Dorkyand40]

ive debated on ordering a set but ihavent seen many people say they are much better then the reactions. seems like voodoo is still the one to beat..maybe the cyrul tires will be good

Do you run posi traction or a thick diff fluid? I have posi now without any good luck.

[@Dorkyand40]

slipper and 250k in the diff. use your esc or radio to control your launch. start low and find out how much it will take..smooth is fast..build the speed down the line. it will change throughout the day based on the road..your tires and the prep and heat

[@Dorkyand40]

Start with a new model in the radio and then calibrate the esc per maclan instructions. If it still is in reverse then change the motor direction in the maclan app and not the radio. You can also swap 2 of the motor poles so desolder 2 of the wires from the motor and swap them and resolder.
