Revisiting this. Very well done. I have a solid local track here in Alabama, USA, but that one you've got in your town looks absolutely incredible. I would kill for that setup to be in my town!
9:46 Look how much improvement that is compared to earlier in the vid. Really chucking it into that high speed left after the front stretch. It's already clicking man. Also, I have a few of these Trackstar engines and they've served me well. I recommend going ahead and purchasing an extra pison/sleeve as they're cheap ($30), plus they seem to give out around 3 gallons in my experience (loses compression to the point of tuning instability and a difficulty idling w/o dying), and this is coming from someone who faithfully breaks all of mine in and preheats to 220F or higher every start, even long after the break-in. And since they're so cheap, sometimes you get a 5 port sleeve, sometimes you get a 3. All essentially work the same lol
Good to catch up with you on the maiden voyage. You did really well on a track that's difficult to master and brutal on the car. Your prior preparation served you well. Paul
@@Unogarage Allow me to give you a few tips as I've raced and medalled my Hyper 7/OPS many times..... Firstly.. The front/rear balance is way off... remake a servo tray that puts a 6v long style Nicad battery up front by the steering servo, as on the Hyper VS...your jumps will be a lot more controllable and flowing.... Second.... Upgrade to longer shocks to give you more droop..Third ..Invest in some lightweight parts as the chassis is 600g heavier than min ROAR race weight....That's nearly 20%... Hobao website has more racing lightening mods for hyper 7 than any other manufacturer on the market ....Its a great competitive chassis if you do the mods... But straight out of the box it's useless for racing....
I just got into the nitro hobby. I went to this track today the hardest thing Iv ever done lol. The other on the track performed very well and there was me, pretending I knew what I was doing lol
I met you down there on a Monday once spoke to you as never seen a hyper 7 down there and could see you was just starting out . Looks like. You are having fun
Rev rev rev constantly wen you could just get on the power and exit a bend a lot smoother drives me mad wen I see vids and all I here is rev rev rev rev rev at every bend it's not needed
He's obviously a newbie. His car didn't even have racing tires on it until another driver lent him a set, and he certainly doesn't have race ready equipment or a dialed in chassis and shock setup. Give the guy a break. We all had to start somewhere, and the kind of arrogance and elitism you're displaying is why newbies stop coming to the racetrack.
By the way, even pros have a hard time controlling the blipping, I've seen plenty of solo testing videos from guys like Tebo, Drake, Maifield, all doing it a little bit in tight corners, that's just the nature of r/c racing and trying to find the sweet spot to get on the throttle. So I highly doubt that you're a master of throttle control yourself when even the best in the world don't get it perfect every time.
Blipping really does help if your tunes not a 100% right, keeps it cleared out and feels more snappy, if he held it flat out on the straight after holding 1/4 -1/2 throttle the whole track it will bog the whole way down the straight away, tuning would help that situation but he is a beginner.
It's a centrifugal clutch. Time spent on-throttle at low throttle make the clutch engage but not fully, meaning the clutch shoes are slipping on the bell and causing undue wear & heat on the clutch. Best to just skip low throttle and replace it with moments of blipping the throttle to minimize time spent slipping.
@@cbh148 load of dribble the clutch will be slipping more on and off every single time he blips the throttle Buring it out faster then just rolling in at speed then powering off smooth
"jUsT sToP dOiNg iT" Dude he's obviously a newbie, driving a buggy with basher tires on it, give him a break. We all had to start somewhere. I doubt you were a perfect driver your first time on the track...or maybe judging by how you talk you were.
