Practice, yup. When I first started, I was going 3-4 days a week. I didn't race till the next season, paid off. My first race ever, I took 1st in the B Main.
TY, great tips! i was surpriesed that you say with short runs you gain exp. 8 hr day and 1 hr ride, that was new to me, as i am trying to gain so much tracktime i get.
Hey, Ty. have you ever made use of electronics (accelerometer, gyro, IMU, microcontrollers) to analyze your traction circle after (or during) a run as other motorsports like F1 do? They're used to monitor and analyze grip usage to maximize the utilization of grip. If you haven't, do you know anybody who has? If not, any idea why people aren't doing this at high levels of racing?
Hi Ty..one question. Why dont you race the Truggy? I have a buggy and Truggy. Was told that Truggy destroys the buggy driving skills. What do u say to this?
Great stuff dude and glad your making videos, but you gotta speak up. The audio is weak and we all wanna hear what you got to say. Thanks for making vids and sharing your experience.
Well idk if my ebuggy from caster fusion ex1 is up for it because the scene has change so much since then reedy with single batteries 4s setups and tire inlays foam the body has changed and the new body design has grown so i like them now thanks to vrc maybe i need to look for a new rc ebuggy
Kind of got out of the hobby for a while since I had HPI but they discontinued my buggy and poor parts support. Was thinking TLR perhaps. Being American would like to try Buying American. Otherwise would probably get XRay. Thanks for the tips Ty!. Our closest track is about 1 hour. Was thinking of building a track around here.
TLR "Losi" is pretty much all made in China and another place like Pakistan, I can't remember honestly. But yeah, I don't know of anyone in the biz that doesn't outsource. Tekno is going to be the most American of all of them and their stuff is second to none in the manufacturing quality and durability of parts.
On the RC Network he seems to like Tekno. Thanks. Seriously that good? Hmm. Ok. Might consider that if I purchase another buggy. Just really burned on the whole HPI thing. $450 RTR not running well out of the box. Another 400-500 in upgrades to make it solid. Then they discontinue the model. Not sure I want to go through that again. Even though I think TLR and Mugen are great need to start thinking about American. If the quality is there then makes sense. Have no idea about parts support, etc. with Tekno.
The last RC company to have everything manufacter and produced in the U.S. is Novak. As far as I'm concern, every other company out there is out sourcing all their products.
Thanks rclover828. I was disappointed with Novak going out of business, but I went with Tekin since I heard Novak was having quality issues. What a bummer.
