+Sebastian WmQ so you can torture yourself into wanting one and then seeing it's going to cost $500 and up for quality RC, my traxxis slash 4x4 was $600. $100 for a 2 cell 5200mah 50c lipo, $75 for a charger, pushing you to get a decent paying job to be able to buy one. or 2... or ten.
@@RC-ty5ym those are the olders mods too. Compare them to this years ISTC in Gubbio and youll see quite a noticeable difference in times from then to now. Body advancements have helped with that too.
I'm just getting into R/C cars, and I have to say this race is a great inspiration! The racers are extremely talented and it was astonishing to see who came in 1st place!
@@wojtek-33 so you're saying all vehicles have the same acceleration? Read what you type lol. Trucks take longer 0-60 while RC cars take way less. You take an RC vs a car, compare those 2.
Jamie Smith , don't be silly. I understood Deathbrewer's comparrison. If you scale down the whole planet to the scale of those little cars they are going to be able to go around that planet many times and much faster then our real cars can go in our real planet. Or you are going to have to mess around with your time "scale". It is nothing but a matter of proportion. And giving the right proportions these cars are faster.
Tons of fast, constant, tiny bouncing of the video, is what you'd get lol. Also, 1:46 tells you these cars are equivalent to around 620mph scale speed. If you had a first person camera down on the car, making you feel like you're the right size/scale to the car, it'd be like watching an F1 car going around a track in first person that can go 620mph, lmao. It would not be a good first person video. It'd be a messy blur, potentially nauseating.
I'm most impressed by their steering precision. Crazy how they're able to maximize track width with these rc cars going this quickly in such a tight space 🔥🔥🔥
Back in the 80's I raced 1/10th scale dirt oval in VA. I remember my 1st race (which I won C Main) there were people from all over the East Coast. I could not believe how far these people traveled just to race these cars. . .It is a BLAST though!!!
woah! Those rc cars are quick and fast! Even faster than Formula One cars with regards to how quickly they take corners. They turn on a dime. Imagine if race cars in real life were like that?
I’d watch this over anything that ESPN puts on television. Skilled drivers, lightning quick rc’s hands down one of the finest announcers that I’ve ever heard. 🔥👍
Janko Cvetinov I used to run the Schumacher Mi3 in the modified class and they do go well over 60mph and reflex is a good thing to have, hand eye co-ordination, and to be able to instantly reverse your reflex when it's coming towards you... it's easy to some...
Professional RC car drivers use team paint schemes and sponsorship decals, much like full-scale drivers. So, they can actually recognize their competitors cars in addition to their own cars!
Zactly. When you paint your own bodies you tend to use the same colors because nobody is buying them all. When I was racing my cars were pink and chartreuse. Either chartreuse with pink drips or pink with chartreuse drips. "Team OOZE Racing".
i really wonder how they control their car looking on from a distance..they must have had so much time.to practice before competiting if you gave me that car and asked me to.race i wouldnt be able to do it
You have to be really good at pretending that you're in the car and practice a lot. When the car's coming at you the steering is backwards as opposed to when it's going away from you. Same with airplanes only worse.
After talking to the Engineer at my plant. I was asking about the Scale Speed of my 1/10th Scale RC running 82mph, and asked if it was 10X the Speed, IE 820MPH? He said no it's not because it doesn't weigh 10X less than a 1:1. He's basically saying that my 6lb truck would have to weigh 600lbs, by the 10X standard. So against a 1:1 at 3'000lbs. Take the 3K-lb truck and make it weigh 300lbs with the same 800 horse power, and poof you have a rocket powered RC truck...ISH... Hope this makes sense...
Yea, scale has nothing to do with the weight. It's just about size differentials in compassion to speeds. It has nothing to do with and does NOT mean that if you blew the cars up in size that they'd be able to perform that way, lmao. It's just about the speeds, lengths, distances, relative sizes and reaction times.
Wow them 2 pink white cars in front are badass!! Gorgeous colors. Man that's a whole lotta fast. This race is sweet. So impressive. Battle is spot on driving. Addicted!!! Lol ty.
MortalityGames No no I'm talking about an internal camera fixed inside it. Like smartphones' cameras. probably with wide lens for wider view and all cars will have this so there'll be no inequalities when it comes to weight. I saw one race like this inside a mall and cars are so fast racing inside a small track so it makes no sense for a camera but if it could be slower like some limit for an engine plus a camera inside it. I think the expeience would be better.
+Nathaniel Morada (Kristhan) it sounds great in theory but from a first person view i think it would be too fast for them to be able to effectively drive. like from 3rd person view they see the whole turn and whats comming up next to prepare themself. but if they had a camera in the car to look threw for first person view they only see the turns for like .5 seconds and have to steer. idk i think it would be much much harder if they could even see fast enough to steer. just imagin trying to play a game like mario cart with 500cc races lol.
+Nathaniel Morada (Kristhan) If you want to race with a hand held controller by looking at a screen, you may as well just play a computer game. Besides, there are a few videos on RU-vid of people recording some laps around a track, and the camera bounces around too much to drive. The latency would also be a pain.
The speed at scale would appear to be around 620mph, lol... Can you imagine trying to corner a car that fast in first person? It's way too fast (at scale) for a cockpit view, lol. 1:46 The 62mph actual speed they get up to on this track is equivalent to about 620mph at scale... That's how fast it'd actual feel if you were at the same scale as the car, lol. Like I said, good luck trying to drive a 620mph car in anything other than a straight line, especially if you're sitting (or through the first person camera, perceived to be sitting) in the cockpit. Plus, the camera latency and all the small fast constant bouncing of the video would make it horrible to try as well.
+R.D. Callands That depends on what sort of racing your doing. Drifting is a slow class, and even slower is rock crawling. But for on road touring like in this video, yes... Some of the larger scales are hitting near 100mph on the straights. Even in off road racing with jumps and all like I do, you will see a 45+ on larger tracks.
+R.D. Callands I heard the announcer say "62 mph going into that corner." :) I think on a straight away though like Tuffenough4u said, they probably hit 100mph.
Astonishing reflexes. Great coverage. These cars are unbelievably difficult to steer accurately! I hope the guys perched in the centre of the track are wearing personal protection...
