HOW TO SETUP FOR ASTROTURF || B6 & B64 Setup tips 

Love your channel! Very informative, I have learned more from your vids than anyone else’s. Great job thanks for sharing.

Thank you for your useful input on astro set ups. Looking forward to your next race day video

Really great info and very helpful to my setup which is a 1/5th scale short course MCD W5 Max (gas two stroke) I run on Astro in the UK and this low ride height really works and allows me to throw this 16kg truck into the corner without traction roll. Very few setup guides for 1/5th so good to use your 1/10th setup. Thank you.

Super helpful thanks! Just getting into 1/10 racing and have just picked up a B64 Club Racer.

I love my carpet/astro tracks and just like you have switched over this year from TLR to Team Ass. 64 and b6.

Awesome videos! All of your videos are very well made! Love the way how you explained the "why" in making your adjustments, which I think is key. Need more vid like this where you can explain making setup changes throughout the race day as track condition changes and why you would choose to make certain changes for a certain condition. Also, another idea for video would be to make one on how you go about adjusting ball diffs and what feel you look for.

I just picked up a Schumacher KF .Plan on racing Astroturf .This information you give me I think is going be very useful to me .Sense I am going to New To this type of track .

your are very helpful man. its great to hear from a pro. someone is gonna let you design a car one day. I feel it.

I love astro. Ours is more of a high pile, very spongey. We run our shock packages actually more like a clay setup. Tires, we run the schumacher blocks, very high block pattern as they cut down into the turf very well. But astro is crazy fun. But in my b5m video, that was a couple of days of testing to get it dialed in, but now...love it!

Awesome videos Ryan... Thanks very much.

Very well produced vids, just bought a B6 to replace my B5m. Outdoor astroturf racing vs the laydown yokamo yz2s left me just ahead of the other b5ms just behind all the yz2s, very frustrating. We are now inside on a EOS carpet for winter so cross fingers.

Your videos are great quality, I'm surprised you don't have more subscribers.

Hi Ryan, you are really good at what you do! Where can i find your own setup sheet for your b64 on astroturf?

Awesome thanks Ryan 👍

Ryan, Is Carpet similar? I have never been on astroturf. Setting up the new B6.1 obviously this is all good stuff.

Hey Ryan, great videos, looking forward to watching more soon. Do the swaggers give less grip that the lo pro staggers? Or just a nicer feel. I have also seen people cutting the inner rib of the tires have you tried this? And one last thing am I missing something,have you linked your own set up sheet on the super secret site? Or cant find you there.. Thanks.

@great videos.... I like how u set up your b64. I’m planning on getting one, but I can’t afford one right now... 😤

Dude big pins. I’m good to try it Thanks

Hey brother, I usually enjoy/always appreciate your music selections. How do you deal with copyright issues?

Hey Ryan, Will you be doing a vid on Losi 22 A/C setup. So I much new stuff out there nowadays!

Ryan I love your videos they are very helpful. suggestions for videos for newbies can you do some showing a visual for the terms and definitions you are using. I know what a traction roll is but a video showing a traction roll. or what the car was doing for you to change the droop or shock position. an actual video of the problem would help out tremendously like fiming your first run and showing what you are doing and explaining why. I come to you because you have great videos already and I like the way you present them.

Dear, an advice for diff oil on 2wd (6.2) for Astroturf ? My car spin out when i accelerate after un turn. Thanks for your channel ;-)

Thanks for the tips!

I have the same motor in my b64 that I just bought, what did you run the motor timing at for turf? I’m just getting into rc racing from moto. Thank you!

Thanks for takin me to school :)

Awesome really appreciate it, APRICIATE You

Very helpful. I've made a similar video and I said most of the some things

What is better the team associated B64 or the team associated B6.1 for a indoor clay track and which one preforms better.😃😃

I've run a ball diff in a 2wd on astro in mod class (6.5T motor) and had it lasted a year of racing - more than 20 club meetings, even gunning hard all the time with a tight slipper and highest punch level on ESC. The trick is 1) run the diff tight. Do not try to use the resistance of the diff as a tuning option, run it as tight you can before the action starts getting too course (as it does when you over tighten) 2) Set your slipper so that it slips at about 20-30% less torque than the torque at which your diff slips. If you are wearing out a diff quickly I can pretty much GUARANTEE you that it is because your slipper is set to higher torque than the diff. Heres how to set the slipper properly: Take your gear cover off, lock the pinion stationary somehow e.g. wedge a bit foam rubber into where the pinion and spur meet. Loosen off the slipper almost completely. Hold one rear wheel stationary and rotate the other until slippage occurs and the slipper shaft rotates. Tighten up the slipper a bit and repeat. Eventually you will reach the point the slipper shaft is rotating slower or not at all during the slippage. This means the diff is now slipping and that the slipper torque is matching or slightly above the diff torque. Loosen off the slipper until the slipper shaft rotates enough that you are confident its accounting to all the slippage. Loosing it a tiny bit more :-). Job done, you now have a ball diff than will last almost indefinitely without rebuild so long as you don't mess with the slipper setting.

great vid!

Hey guys, I'm getting back into RC after a 35 year break. I'm looking at getting the B6. The tracks I will be running are carpet and astroturf. I'm looking at getting a B6. I want to get the right car out the door. Is there any reason I shouldn't get the B6D and then go with the laydown transmission? Please help me make the correct choice!!

Worth trying cutting the outer edge of the pins on the reads off. Less side bite andd less likely to grip roll. I normally race on grass so it's a shock to the system racing with grip! Haha

hi I got a lite Hawk buggy n with a nickel metal hydrate battery .. n all stock motors shocks tires .. n can i switch the connector to a jst connector ..n how can I make the stock motor go faster am new to this hobby ..n I drive on street .. is there any cheap mods I can do fo it ? .. don't have ESC for it all stock ?

Beachline awesomeness!

Cccccfff I have a question if you Don’t mind answering. I have the TLR 22 4.0 2wd buggy. When o try to enter a corner the rear of the buggy slides out. Like no side bite. What should I try/change first. Thanks

Dear friend, I have a question and I need some help about B6D kit!!! I made everything as the manual describe and I noticed after the 1st run that my slipper clutch at full throttle (when the car is stopped and begin to run) make some noise, so I decide tho tight a little bit more the nut of the shaft but the noise still there... Is that a problem?

Can u use slicks on AT? 😁

Hi nice videos. I was wondering do use or recommend schelle aluminum drive shafts on the b6 on carpet or turf and which length would work better 65mm or 67mm. Thx

Exotek comes with both slots for regular bones and pucks on the same out drives: www.exotekracing.com/b64-flite-75t-center-spool-set-for-17-5-and-13-5-spec/

Hello Ryan. This a very nice subject to be brought up Anyway, I need you suggestion for B64D to race on carpet Could you please share with me? I never run on carpet, not even once And so I like to try it sometime later om Thank you so mach Ryan

Hey buddy can u make a video on carpet racing b6.1 . Great content bro!

Hey Ryan I live down in San Diego and I was wondering if you knew any good people who can make a simple yet custom body if so please tell me thankyou

I am running the same C/D block pills as your B6 (.5 out - D, 1 up and out - C) Do you know what the toe, roll center, pivot position and anti squat is for that since it's not on the pill chart?

Noob question: In the video you mentioned that you you needed to rebuild the ball diff after a day on astroturf. If Im running a stock 17.5 setup only on clay, how often should I be rebuilding my diff?

Where is this snapback U checkered hat from?

Hey Ryan, your videos are realy nice. Entertaining and informativ. Preaty cool... Keep going. Just one question. As a newbe I tryed to check out the Setup sheet you use for the B64, but the link ( in germany ) doesn´t work. Maybe you can check it? Thanks a lot. Waiting for the next video.... ;O)

How about the link to the weights used

Just found your page and thank you! One thing your setup sheet link for b6 isn't working?

I'm looking at running my sc5m on carpet. What do I need to change on my setup in the transmission and shocks?

I’m new to this bro I watch you I have B6 and b64 box came factory seal with electronics in box can you tell me anything about reedy black box 600z can’t find anything on it I’m the tube

Could you please do the same type video for short course truck racing?

I just picked up a B64 kit to get back into racing (after a 10+ year hiatus), I was wondering if I have the fluid center diff, would going to a slipper eliminator be a bad thing (running on Astroturf as well). www.redrc.net/2017/06/bezerk-rc-b64-slipper-eliminator/

Can you feel the difference between the kashima shocks and the original ones?

Hey Ryan when will we see the under the hood video of your b6d as well

Just gained 1sub

Dude your awesome But I totally disagree with all the front weight The B6.2 has a really good center of gravity And on the scale usually with only one forward weight Under the servo keeps the car level during a 3 to 8 degree jump

Do you have an Instagram for RC Ryan?

I think beginners should START with buggys instead of a trucks. WHAT IVE HEARD..and did.. "start with a truck , get good" move to a buggy.. I never got good with a truck. id watch/marshall the buggy race and say to myself ill never be able to "control" anything that fast.. I think once you get a race class buggy "set up right" of course" you'll be amazed at how"you can thread the needle" much better than you did your truck. and like riding a bike you just feel it. " my opinion. trucks are good. !! just feel like I spent too much time trying to win the big one when I shoulda been practicing my coordination the buggys got it handled its 2020.

I wish you were cooler

This sounds more complicated than brain surgery
