That buddy system helped so much! Me being new to RC I went to my first RC race so unprepared but I was helped by all the guys at the track with some tires, a transponder and setting up my buggy to race. Best hobby I’ve been in so far

[danidv]

Best thing I do when I'm racing is be kind to everyone, right before the final when everyone is getting ready I wish goodluck to all my rivals, I always go to speak to them after the race or quali sessions (if i'm first or last, no difference) always be a respectable driver and they will respect you, gives you more allies and less "enemies" even though I find it stupid that people still find enemies in this hobby, some guys don't like me because I only come once in a while and I'm quite decent so some of them are pissed and some of them like me for how likeable I try to be around people, so the tip should be "be humble if you win and congratulate when you lose" that's how you build respect

As a track owner/promoter, the buddy system is the greatest thing to see. The battery thing is also a great idea. Whenever we travel to race or get new drivers I suggest have 4 batteries fully charged at the beginning of any race day. You never know if you'll lose power to charge them for whatever reason

[beardofwonder]

#5 is the best tip!! Buddies have saved me soo much on race day when something broke and I didn't have the spare. Also that mentality you have about helping someone and hoping they do the same later is awesome! When I started flying the local fpv drone community had this mindset and I was treated with lots of free gear when a group of us got together. Now that I've been in it for a few years I get to give when we get together. It's awesome!!

Top shelf commercial. Well done.
I don’t know many people that do this but I always check camber and ride height with the car and transmitter on. This way the steering is always centered as it will be on the track

That extra battery isn't a joke. It actually came in handy literally yesterday during my race. They said that we are going to do an extra round of races because it wasn't a big event. So after my last race (so I thought) I started packing up and someone told me that we had 1 more round. So lucky me I had an extra battery to rock n roll to finish the night although I wasn't doing well 😅

The last tip are the most important one to keep our passion in this hobby! Thanks Ryan👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼happy 2022 to come 🍀🍀

I really appreciate the comments you made about the buddy system and growing the sport. I recently moved states and am looking into local tracks and shops and it's been terrible. At one shop I asked the guy working the counter if they had a beginners class bc I had my daughter with me and he didn't even look up from his Associated instruction manual to answer me. When we walked around to the pit benches, everyone gave us the stink eye and at that point I decided that this is NOT the track/shop for me! There is one more track that I'm hoping will be more beginner friendly but I'm keeping my expectations super low. 😔

That last one is great! My first race, everyone in the pits came to my table to introduce themselves to me and my son. 👍 I was even given some very useful items to borrow for the evening for a few new friends. 🤘 The other tips are very welcome. I only did a nut and bolt check the next morning. Your tips and content are awesome!

[NerdlyCNC]

daaaang...skillshare...thats a big deal! Congrats man! Awesome content as always!

[carlosgomes]

Well, best tip would be...have a cigar with you, it may be your first win and you want to celebrate! 😁😁 haha great video. Cheers mate

The buddy thing helped a lot. I race Kyosho Mini Zs and at my first race, I broke my motor wires and I had no idea what to do, so other people stepped in and got me back up and running. It’s such a nice community.

[rcmaniac]

For checking my camber, I 3D printed myself some plates that bolt on to the hub and they give me an accurate camber reading every time, I also put some fingers on them so that way I can measure and adjust my front toe

I had to pause the video where you were talking about helping others, building a buddy network for a positive type of environment, paraphrasing some but the message is really important. Here in Memphis, about 20 years back, it started out as a positive environment and slowly turned into a negative one. The hobby became a choir, more like work than having fun racing and bonding with other like minded people. It was horrible. I sold all my kits, batteries and receivers, etc. Sold everything and just walked away. Fast forward to about 3 maybe 4 weeks ago, I got back in touch with my "Low Bucks Racing" partner, TJ and he mentioned to me that he got out as well but he didn't sell all his stuff. He went on to tell me that Tamiya is coming back to Memphis after being away for almost two decades. The race is June 11th and I'm back, starting off slow to see how the environment is and make an informed decision at that point. I just had to share that story because you hit the nail on the head Ryan, thank you for saying that.

Fantastic!! Got a tip I don’t use out of this one!! Most important tip here…….#5. 👏👏

[bartbbb]

It's appreciable to get some details like you share, simply said and in a comprehensive way, even for someone where English is not his native tongue.

I’m a HUDY FAN.
I have the HUDY board with 1/8 & 1/10 scale sticker and 4 wheel toe camber and caster jugs. Love it. Good tips

[aperson]

Another pretty obvious tip : We have a saying that if you bring a part for your car that is subject to breaking, then you won’t break it. But if you don’t bring it, you will, inevitably break it. Have plenty of spare parts people, unless you have a shop with all the parts you need.

[ExhibitTruth]

Thank you Ryan! Great video. Also: If you’re the guy who gets mad and stomps off the drivers stand every time you drop below 3rd place (and it’s always someone else’s fault of course) STOP IT! You’re setting a terrible example for any kids who might be racing, or even just there to spectate. You’re also causing tension within the entire pit area. I stopped racing at my local track for that very reason. This attitude spread over time and it is contagious. Oh, and the clicks, oooh the clicks. “I’m friends with the owner, so I can act like a spoiled brat al over the place, even though I’m in my mid 40s’…)
Here’s another tip, be nice, be helpful, and for gods sake, stop checking your lap times during the next race when you’re supposed to be marshaling. 😤🤣😂
