back in the 90's I handed my transmitter to a young kid and replaced parts as he learned to drive the car. now that kid is an awesome racer and he has done the same thing for newbs all the time. passing the torch is something you should never miss out on. thanks for the video. keep up the great work
I am one of the kids who was brought up that way racing pan cars on carpet oval I used to go and watch my uncle race all night long and never said a word about trying his car and then one day a few months later on he let me drive his super fast pan car this was back in the day of making your own battery packs with cells that you soldered together and you had big strips of light bulbs putting off 90 degrees of heat in your face to drain batteries. He taught me everything and I am really glad he got me involved because I love the hobby I just wish more places had tracks to race on
How old was the kid when you did that I did same thing last 5 weeks in a row with my legend car for a kid this kid would have his parents bring him just to watch and he never asked his parents for a car to racing eand never asked anyone to try a car and would always Marshall and would sit quite and learn and watch me work on my Busch car legend car and runner tire truck all carpet oval so one day I told him he could run my legend car on a practice night and I told him shut drive it and if it breaks I will fix it well after about a 100 laps this 7 year old was driving a break out legend car like a pro and he know drives my legend car for me as a driver every week on carpet oval and carpet road course he is getting very good
Favorite Rc moment, well my first win is up there, but making it to the d main with my own chassis, custom body, cheap used motor and borrowed tires at the Short Course Colossal in Ohio. End up around 32 out of 65 cars. Was a big accomplishment for me.
My uncle took my racing with him in the late 80's and early 90's, my Dad couldn't afford to get me into rc cars then... fast forward say 30 years and I just got into rc cars with RTR, and soon wanted more, like racing dirt oval and off road as a kid. Now I am getting into both, thanks for the great channel to help us new people to the sport.
My pleasure. Sorry for the lack of content the past few months. Been stupid busy racing big races. Now with this covid shutting everything down. I should be able to get back to making videos again
I appreciate the video. I just bought a Losi 8 and picked up some $100 10 scale late model. I’m practice up with these and see how I do. That Losi 5T V2 tho!!!!! As a late model!
My favorite memory was when I was about 12. I ran a Hornet in an enduro oval race back in the 80’s . It was slow, but I had less battery stops. So it went pretty well. I didn’t place, but that race is stuck in my memory. I can close my eyes and go back like it was yesterday.
My favorite rc memory is my first win. I got it a few years back at Fastlane raceway in the stock slash class on the dirt. I got really lucky and passed some really fast guys in lap traffic.
My Favorite R/C memory would be watching the fast guy's at the R/C Chili Bowl. Me being a newbie to R/C cars. Watching videos and reading Forums to get good information is hard. I want to thank you very much for stepping out an starting a dirt oval RU-vid Channel.
I appreciate your support! Stay tuned to the Facebook team page “Team Unknown Racing” for a FB live from the track will include info on a bigger giveaway. Going to step it up a notch
Just Got back into RC Racing and on the second week out at the local carpet track won both the novice and the sportsman classes with my new to me T5M. Wish I had dirt oval racing locally here in Boise, ID. New to your videos as well, great content keep it up!!!
Good video, lots of info to hopefully steer new guys in the right direction. Also patience, the knowledge comes with patience, an open ear, and help from the experienced drivers
Defiantly earned a sub for willingness to help us newbs out. No track here so i gotta build one. My family used to own ponderosa speedway here in ky so i got got the track building and prep down i think. But i know nothing about these cars.
I run lm and truck 1/5 with 29cc gasser. Its not expensive if you can drive. I had allot of toys to get to the big boys. Now it’s just gas n go. Great stuff thx for the vid.
Here in Phoenix we have 1 dirt oval with mostly mod class cars Street stock, late model and modified. It is a short track with a good bank. they run a late model unlimited class on a sct platform. Racing is shut down until it cools off in late September so Im building my car now. We do race asphalt oval with street stock, and bomber class that is a blast both those classes are speck. Thunder truck is mod class. Check out worc racing facebook page for race footage. Thanks for the help, keep it up
Hey that's so funny my name is Devin! Lol I don't ever really find people who have the same name as me. I am big fan of all types of RC racing I wish I could do everything but I pretty much stick to on road touring cars I have been really wanting to get into dirt oval but I need to buy a new kit to start and I just don't have the funds to do it without selling my on road car or waiting a couple more months and try to save up as best as I can
I just started doing a little onroad action my self! Dirt is where my heart is. Grew up big car racing. My best opinion is to get on the r/c dirt oval classifieds. Find you a decent used street stock and start there. More than likely you will have time to save as just about damn near every track in the country is shut down right now
@@TeamUnknownRacing yeah I will admit that kinda put a stop to everything it really sucks I was looking forward to out door off road racing hopefully as well I just run a stock sc10 2wd I used to have top of the line factory racing kits and then just lost interest in the scene because of a lot of drama between all the other drives and tracks fighting back and forth about taking business away from the other guy so I sold everything and started over again but I have found that the on road racing carpet guys are usually really laid back and nice people who will actually be willing to help you get your car setup right so you can actually drive it instead of just smashing everyone else off the track. I am big fan of Tamiya TCS races because everyone that drives in those classes has good driver skill and respect for everyone elses stuff so you don't end up getting smashed around all night ruining everything so all my on road cars always stay in like new shape especially when you only race them indoor on carpet but I have two for out door asphalt because my local main track was a indoor asphalt track 20'/40' but they are now since closed down for good because they could not compete with a indoor clay track but now the indoor off road clay track is only a huge indoor dirt oval it's called full throttle in green Island NY I live in Syracuse now so I am not as close as I wish I could be to that track because it is a huge clay oval indoors all season.
Do you have any info on 1/10 sprint cars? I want to get into racing them and be able to swap the tires out for foam tires when doing carpet tracks and normal tires for dirt.
Foam tire and rubber tire are two completely different setup cars. And even chassis designs. A foam tire car, Will have WAY to much left side weight for racing on loose dirt. Now if your rubber tire track, is a purely clay track, then you could get away with it
@@TeamUnknownRacing ok thanks. I'm currently working on a street stock with a bandit for the base and I will race that at my local hobby shops dirt track.
Sorry for the dislike, well I changed it to like bc this is great info. Sorry but I'm new at this and I now finally have my first fast RC car and this was all talk and no racing. 🤷
I live in Kentucky and I want to know if there is a dirt track for RC cars here in Kentucky and I like your video and you educated me on stock so how can I get start here in Kentucky
Im not real familiar with Kentucky area. My best opinion would be to just start searching all over facebook. I do know there are a few tracks in southern indiana depending how close to the border you are
I got a friend that runs over Southern Indiana to that racetrack over there I want to go dirt I think that one over there is some kind of special kind of stuff they put down excuse me but I want to go dirt that's why I that's why I watch all those videos and stuff like that but I do know what you're saying I guess I'm going to have to hook up with him and get more information from him and keep making these videos and I keep watching them right on their body else I really do like watching us videos thanks for all the information be good be good be good be careful by @@TeamUnknownRacing
Man i am so sorry i did not see your comment The channel took off like i didnt expect, and i was unsure of how everything worked, was not able to find some comments! Im curious how your Rc adventure is going!
Whats up with the hobby wing stuff? Aren't they a offbrand Chinese junk? Wouldnt a momaba monster or reedy orion etc.. be alot better? I notice alot of people at my track running hobby wing esc with power product motors. Im running castle in factory stock
Soo the car that is on the shelf is a buggy based. Slashes are short course based. You have to run the bigger tires on short course classes. Buggy street stock is real popular. (The purple 11 car)
For which one of the cars? The mudboss is a Salvas Muddboss body, They may or may not be on ebay. The street stock is a monte carlo from Mcallister racing and the late model is a MR/Kustoms off facebook
Connor Lane so far it is treating us really well! 3 nights on it so far, 2 second place finishes and 1 win, all at different tracks. The cross weight is still a little off and need to roll the center a bit better, But we are trying something different this weekend with it!
Question I recently pick up an old rtr RC10 T3 I built it an it came with another LRP esc, it’s brushed I’m new to electric’s normally deal with nitro but anyways, long story short it was slow tried different gearing different brushed motor said screw it went brushless I got a Hobbywing EZRUN combo with the max10 ecs & 5400 kv brushless motor I wired everything up set my end points on my esc an everything seemed find I’m still running nimh batteries I’m going to get lipos tomorrow, but the thing is once I set the car on the ground with 25% throttle it drives fine but anything after that 25% my steering cuts in an out an so does my throttle but when it’s off the ground with no load on the tires everything is ok an I disabled LVC also cause the manual said since I’m running nimh batteries do that an that might solve the problem but it didn’t, would you have a clue to what the problem might be ?
Lmfao. BONE STOCK. Lmao my mudboss is worth 1500 and would smoke your late model. Not all mudbosses have to be stock. Stop telling people that's the only class for mudboss because your wrong
The hell are u even talking about the only class for a muddboss. A muddboss is a muddboss. And if u have 1500 in a muddboss. You got ripped the hell off buddy. Your more than welcome to come on down to texas an try me. Lol. Tell u what. If your muddboss can beat my car, Ill give ya $200
