Everyone had a first day in RC… EVERYONE! In Episode 017 of the RC Driver “Get Into RC” video series, we are going to give you some general information on the types of surfaces you can run you RC car and some things to think about in terms of location when you do go to have some RC fun. Not all RC cars can run anywhere, but some are more versatile and can be more enjoyable in a variety of locations. Can a certain surface harm your RC car? We answer that question too. Some of this information has been covered in previous videos, but there are certainly some talking points that can help you in your quest to buy the right car or have more fun in RC!

“Can you drive a buggy on the street?” Of course you can.... Have you seen Toy Story?

@GregDaGoblin 6 лет назад

I started racing over 30 years ago with a Tamiya Wild One. Then I got the original RC10. We formed a club and had dirt we alternated between an offroad and an oval every couple of years. We also built a banked concrete oval and put down an asphalt pad for road racing. I also had a RC10T, a 10L, 12L, Yokomo 4wd Touring, Delta 12th scale, and a Bolink Legend. I lived for racing haha Even placed 2nd place in a ROAR Regional in 10th scale stock onroad. Our track folded about 15 years ago and I started flying planes. We don't even have a hobby shop any more. I just bought 3 Traxxas Slash Pro's with onboard audio and started building a small offroad track to hack around on with my girlfriend and a buddy.

Could you please do a video on tires? What types you want to run, softer vs harder, inflatable vs solid vs foam? And the benefits/cons to them all?

@josheuler4916 7 лет назад

Can you do a video on how to properly select brushless motor size, along with esc size and battery size?

@rcdriver 7 лет назад

Thank you for the suggestion, we've added it to our To Do list.

@stpbasss3773 6 лет назад

Good idea I just ordered a brushless motor for my slash and I was super careful to make sure it was compatible and would fit in the transmission block.

@Timberpelt 3 года назад

Really appreciate the helpful information! I bought Traxxas' buggy as my first RC and am having a blast, and getting to know more about the tires is super helpful! Runs great in my apartment parking lot, and surprisingly well in somewhat thick grass

@kymbo72 7 лет назад

thanks for clearing up my question about running the car on grass. very helpful information. subscribed.

@rcdriver 7 лет назад

Thanks for watching kymbo72 !

@John-np2bf 4 года назад

You've been a big help and a great influence and without even knowing you've helped me expand my collection. Started with a Arrma Crush. Then got a Granite, then a Kraton 4s, a Kraton 6s and I now have a Mojave! And it's badass. I also have three RC boats so I'm looking forward to spring to test my custom 6s boat. It used to be a Feilun FT010 then I gutted it. BTW you look super familiar. I'm in MD... Thanks and keep making superb content.

@miken8778 3 года назад

@chrisrausch4594 7 лет назад

All very good points to consider, very well done.

@mattmoto45 5 лет назад

This video helped me so much thx for the help

@charlesfairris2312 Год назад

I like your approach. Is there any rc specific places? And how do you find them. I'm in arizona very few tracks and mesa frowns on rc in the parks even when you are away from others.

@kiddmarlowe1534 5 лет назад

After hours rollerskating rinks and gymnasiums worked great for racing low profile vehicles like my old LaTrax (1981) LTX-40 Corvette. I've wondered how my car would hold up on astro turf as there are a few football fields around that I'd love to check out. Any thoughts? Thanks. Very informative video.

@6.7cummins 6 лет назад

When I first got into the hobby I was lucky my one neighbour had rc’s as well I had actually bought a brushless 1/18 losi baja and the other neighbor owned many muscle cars and the neighbor across the street had a brushless slash 4x4. Not much of them cared I had a hpi savage a hpi firestorm both and a traxxas jatto and the 1/18 baja

@edwardselesky6620 5 лет назад

Do you recommend adding cooling fans (ESC/MOTOR) for crawlers? In particular a Traxxas Defender with much added weight in accessories. BEC?

@scottfirman Год назад

Stay away from parking lots with curbs. I can 100% guarantee you will break things hitting the curb. It's not a matter of if, its when. Anyplace that has light poles, curbs or any kind of concrete obstruction is going to break your car. There are plenty of places you can run without obstacles that can break stuff. Sundays at a school parking lot, an old warehouse parking lot or any wide open spots will make great places to run. I like ball fields early in the morning.

I have the traxxas UDR? Is it okay to drive it on asphalt? We don’t have much dirt in our place and I love to keep my UDR clean but would that kill my spur gears or pinion gears on asphalt?

@jackgarcia286 7 лет назад

Hey man I like the videos but I was wondering where you got that small trophy truck. If you don't mind could you give me some information.

@cwatson42785 6 лет назад

Hey bud do tires wear down really fast when driving your rc on the street? I just bought some proline badlands mx28s and was wondering if they would wear down fast if I drive it occasionally on the street?

@victorreyes2135 4 года назад

Here's a question I just bought a buggy and it has a small short antenna do I hide the antenna under the shell or do I stick the plastic tubing and make the antenna pop out through the top ...what's is better??? Hiden under the shell or cuttin a hole and fitting it threw the top of the shell??

@harperjohn5519 6 лет назад

How did you get that spoiler on that Rustler in the background?

@timnorman1659 5 лет назад

@LaurentianRCStudios 6 лет назад

great vid!

@matthewprior3762 6 лет назад

Idk about ya’ll but dish rims in my opinion are gorgeous af on RCs. The styled rims available and the stock rims traxxas uses are just a turnoff to me. That EREVO looks nice with those dishes. They just just scream “HOBBY SCALED RC” to me.

@dwaynegarrett5855 3 года назад

Could you tell me what is the biggest size the 1.9 tire come???

@fulltimegamer9194 4 года назад

I think wood Chips is the most fun for 1/18-1/10 buggys. And gravel is fun but after driving your car is full of stones 😂

@ut.turner 6 лет назад

Are you selling the little losi please respond

@rcbasherpodcast898 7 лет назад

If you are new to rc join a local Facebook group. They will know places to run and it is more fun to bash with a group.

@rcdriver 7 лет назад

Great tip! Thank you for sharing!

@rickyjohnson974 5 лет назад

Hahaha my son races bmx good ppl race bmx and it's a great place to drive if it's not under lock & key like our home track 😂

@imserious2187 4 года назад

What's some good tires for a 1/8 scale buggy, my stock tires and my duratrax both came apart just from driving in the street.

@SnarkyRC Год назад

Proline tyres of course.

@AEDave27 6 лет назад

If you go to a BMX track do you uses your off road tires, on road tires, or a set of old off road tires.

@1234mattyman 6 лет назад

It's simple dude if it's a dirt BMX track use off road tires, it's in concert or a smooth surface use road tires with a nice tread and monster trucks/ buggies are best for those jumps a racing on road car wouldn't do well on those jumps type of car is key walk well when driving on a BMX track Hope this helps

@charlesbaril3038 5 лет назад

I burned 3 sets of back tire doing race in the road. The buggy still is working well but I will need soon a fifth set

@ELValenin 5 лет назад

Buy other tires maybe!?!

@jarrettmaltry6305 4 года назад

This mans never heard of road tires 😂 buy something with a harder composite for Christ’s sake

@charlesbaril3038 4 года назад

jarrett maltry nah, I don’t think they does it the good size

@jarrettmaltry6305 4 года назад

Charles Baril oh true I’m not sure what size you’re running. Not sure why they wouldn’t make some hard belted tires for those little road racers

@mindyroy1960 6 лет назад

@justarandomyoutubeuser5074 4 года назад

My local parks allow rc cars as long as people are not annoyed in fact most of them just stick around and watch me drive this is an aspect my sister likes due to this she is considering buying a teton

@nicholassalapoutis2829 7 лет назад

what is the easiest way to avoid shock caps popping off from the shock body during run sessions

@rcdriver 7 лет назад

What vehicle. If it's Traxxas, there is a solution here: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-Bm9wMq8D8fc.html If it's another vehicle, you may want to upgrade to aluminum shocks.

@mauriciodelvalle4648 Год назад

And that is why a trail/rock rumner.. it will not get hot by grass

@jibbymarket 6 лет назад

Can I assume that since the traxxas slash was not mentioned it can go everywhere

@joshmitchell1068 6 лет назад

AllOmnivore9185 I have a slash and they are good on dirt, gravel, granite and anywhere on road I use my one for racing on a granite track and it is good for that

@shiftintogear2209 6 лет назад

Good and Informative video. But, I want to "go-faster" ( +150 kph ). Have you ever gotten permission to run a big (1:5) car on a full-size race track? Are there RC equivalents of FP and F1 races on tracks that replicate places like IOM, Stuttgart, Silverstone, Imola, Jerez, etc ?? Thank You
