Gas RC Cars
Hey absolutely everyone! To continue on the Primary Set up/tuning guideline for RC oval racing here is the future essential tutorial movie featuring the 1/10 scale RC Dirt Oval GFRP function built chassis. Although this online video attributes the GFRP Havoc 3.2 chassis most of the details in this video will translate to virtually all forms of RC Dirt Oval Chassis platforms this sort of as 2wd buggy based, Traxxas based and other purpose constructed centered platforms. In this online video we will go above a several of the essential set up places of the car as well as several tuning suggestions to support you know what, when, where by & why to regulate on the car.
Also, as I mention in this video clip I have a 4 episode “create/Check & Tune” develop series where by I rebuilt the very similar GFRP 3.2 Havoc that you see showcased in this episode. In that movie collection I go about a number of spots of the car all through the rebuild even though chatting about sleek transferring elements, shock setting up, direct travel diff making and CVD constructing, soldering and extra. This would be a excellent online video series to also check out as considerably of that info will relate to the setup & tuning talked about in this video clip as very well.
You can uncover the higher than mentioned 4 episode series on the next hyperlinks:
Episode 1 of 4) 21.5 Late Product make: (direct travel develop and a lot more)
Episode 2 of 4) 21.5 Late Design Make: (Constructing RC CVD’s & Shocks)
Episode 3 of 4) 21.5 Late Model Create: (Mounting electronics & Soldering tutorial)
Episode 4 of 4) 21.5 Late Design Develop: (Examination & Tune/1st race with car)
This is the next “Set up & Tuning” video in the collection with a further prepared in the around long term that includes the Traxxas Slash dependent avenue shares/Late designs.
As normally, thank you all for the help!
Great info video
Hey man random but have a full built car chassis and all just redid it and limited it down and still trying to find sweet spot itโs a mod and super street car after the new suspension lowering it down i canโt for the life of me get it to stop spinning out!? Any tips on arm drop or travel or way to get this hookup again tacky track Iโm ok but loose or not super tacky Car hates it! Dirt oval setup btw
Im a new watcher and subscriber. U got great videos. I live about 2 hours from easley in nc and have never heard of that shop. Been into rc my whole life, planes and cars. Gotta try some oval racing in the next couple months. Just picked up a custom works intimidator.
Thanks for the very good information on the video !! I'm a new dirt oval racer this year !! I will be having a lot of fun racing now with all this !!
Would the same ride height at 12 be the same on a sprint car?
One more thing what about spring rate? And where to get springs for a losi based sprint using tlr shock or should I go to a different shock?
I watched the first 3min of this video… and can't wait to watch the rest of it!! I've been racing RC since 1989 – but I appreciate doting the I's and crossing the T's – explaining everything in very' detailed/direct/complete description! I look forward to watching more of your setp-up/RC videos too! Kudo's JB!
Thanks for doing this video. I recently started racing dirt oval. You hit some points I haven't learned at the track. I made the a-main last week,(for my first time) and,finished 5th in the novice class. Hopefully this week I can finish a lil better. Thanks again! I really dig your channel I'll be in the southport area in a few weeks,(my daughter is having a baby) would love to run a track with ya. Thanks again!
Really well done information video. Makes me want to get one. I've been racing rc cars and trucks since 1986. I ran a Associated RC10 on a scale 1/4 dirt Oval I have VHS recordings of me winning the 2wd modified season champion for 1987. Man how time flies.
I'm been racing r.c. in 1989 before that I raced go-karts
I always felt that RC Hobbyists are the most innovative people in the world, Specially these days..
Thanks so much for information! Just getting into oval racing and that helped a bunch. Also downloaded the MurfDogg racing chassis tuning to keep on hand.
Question on Clay Track Prep, I have seen Golf cart used to Pack the Tracks, what's your thought of those type of Track Prepping.
My thoughts are that the RC cars could pack the Track, like local Dirt Circle Tracks do with Sport Mod, Mods and Street Stock.
I've never raced these dirt oval rc's but have always only bashed mt's for about ten years or so. I HAVE however raced outlaw carts, 500cc for almost twenty years now and everything you've hit on in this vid 100% translates to cart racing! Think I'll be getting one of these asap!
New to the channel great info keep up the great work ๐ thx
nice video. i have a couple questions. my first question is you never touched on caster and kick up plates with different degrees built into them. also, when you run agressive rear toe does it make the tires wear funny?
Where is this track located?
nice , but im almost positive my car would be faster… ( but is THRUST plus wheel power considered cheating because its so much better ? )
( JNHM RC )
Something worth noting… if you're loose off the corner and you just change the RR to a softer spring your scale numbers will dramatically change. It's a good idea to change both corners together. Change the RR and LF at the same time. That way your actual weight on he scale stays balanced on all 4 and ride heights wont change.
This is awesomeโฆWish they sold an entry level grade pan so we can dip our toes into the sport without dropping $600
Ill prolly go with a modified Slash for oval, crash derby etc just so many grass roots po-boy style races for Traxxis Slash. Thanks for sharing
Thanks for having usable content. It was very informative and helpful.
I have a little more off a technical question for you. Dirt oval car, shock mounting angles. What effect on the car does the shock angle have if you stand them more straight up buy moving out on shock tower. (example moving right rear standing shock up will it tighten or loosen car on entry and exit) is the effect the same on all four corners. Second question, changing shock location on control arm. (example Right front moving out on control arm will it loosen or tighten car up on entry and affect on exit). Not after a full technical answer, more what happens with each corner if you change one, loosen or tighten car entry or exit.
Loved the video, thanks you so very much. Am really enjoying this hobby. Basically run the Traxxas Slash Late Model and Traxxas Slash Street Stock and the Traxxas Bandit Hobbystock. Looking for more videos on the Traxxas. Thanks again.
do you pick up car or push down or drop to get ride height and susp setting correct
U say Traxxas cars what if I'm running a sc6.1 in b mod and a sc5 in sc street stock. I'm not a Traxxas fan and don't have the money for a over priced cw or 5 seven design prodigy chassis. Would I use the purpose built chassis info or the Traxxas Info? I know I'm not as good as purpose built but way better then the slash as far as tunability goes. Well really in every way lol. Ae will always be better then Traxxas lol
Good video bro.You're sharp….
Is there much difference between GFRP and custom works ?
Great video! I finally tried dirt oval for the first time last weekend and am HOOKED! Building a buggy based 13.5 sprint and a lot of the setup is foreign to me (coming from off road and on road racing) and this video and that book are very good. One question about camber you gave a left side positive range of 1-2.5 so doe that transfer to the right side just negative? Great video!!
