Awesome race. I can't believe how skilled the drivers are and how well the trucks preformed. The best part was the 2 leaders battling it out and clearing the triple at the same time. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
The old ones used to feel really slow. The newer ones still feel floaty (almost like a full-size car) but they're a lot more lively in terms of throttle response and acceleration.
if you removed the people and other out of scale stuff it woule look very much like reallife trucks. in 1/10 and 1/8 you can still kinda see the out of scale physics.
Where was this? Chris is so smooth out there. Willing to help anyone with questions or stop what he's doing to help anyone at the track. Good dude right there!
ive never seen 1/5 scalers fly so beautifully through the air! These cars are setup awesome! I mean they are jumping like 1/10 buggys! Look at these HUGE 1/5's sail over that tripple! Like that aint a small jump ... and they just soak it up! Big scale looks so more realistic!
I love 5th racing. man I cant get enough of this shit. Where is this track? I am in Pittsbugh and having a hard time finding 5th scale tracks to run at?
@@hinsie4268 There's kinda more than just two brands, but most of them are 1/5th scale specialists that aren't very well known outside their niche. Brands like MCD Racing and FG Modelsport.
@@chucksprinkle1328 Eh, you're mainly going to see those kinds of prices for the top-end touring cars and 1/4th scale oval platforms. You're looking more at around $1500-3000 for these off-road vehicles, and maybe another $500 or so in upgrades.
Price (although you could potentially spend as much on a full-on race car in the smaller classes), size (most tracks are too small for them and you need quite a bit of space to bash them as well) and noise (arguably also a selling point, but your neighbors will hate them).
As big as those trucks are, I can't believe they have corner marshals actually out on the track! I have been told that in 1/4 scale racing, if a wreck occurs it is like a full scale race. They stop the race, go out and straighten the carnage and then do a green flag restart. Maybe times have changed. At least I would want baseball catcher's gear (shin guards, face mask, etc). Those big trucks can hurt you!
For off-road, the likelihood of a wreck is high enough that if they stopped the race every time someone wrecked, the race would never actually end. They kinda have to take the risk.
This is at the Adelanto Stadium, in Adelanto California. This race is held during the same time as the Adelanto Grand Prix. The track is run once a year.
My race truck runs with 40wt shock oil all the way around on 2.1x4 pistons. Red truck springs front and rear. Diff fluids are 10k front, 15k center, 5k rear
