People need to go to the races and see if they even like it first.
Then while they are there watch what the racers have to do and go through.
Pick a car that you like and keep up with that car and driver.
Just watching him go through everything on track and in the pit area will give you a idea of what to expect.
I recommend EVERYONE INTERESTED go to the track and practice until you get comfortable before you start racing !!

😂 the way you look at $ and budgeting for loss of funds is funny lol but at least you explained the title, it’s just a very backwards way of looking at it, if I want a Ferrari it will only cost $1 but that’s only if I spend $180, 000 and sell it for $179, 999 when I’m done with it 🤣🤣

[AQucsaiJr]

I was hoping to here more about the Aarma out at that last Vagas race.

[jerryvolpini]

Tekno and budget in the same sentence - I think NOT! 🤣 Definitely can be done cheaper but a lot of good info 👍

[dannyhamby]

I been budget racing for 10 years lol. Things can be had and built really cheap these days. Hobbywing for esc all the way motors eh either used hobbywing or ultra cheap motors from places like nitrorcx or hobby king. Batts def Amazon or hobby king period. As far as car or truck chassis buy one broken or just bashed as 90% of the time it’s a $20 part or less and some elbow grease. Currently I’m working on a pan car hd7 completely built with sensored 21.5 60amp esc and all and will have about $275 in it complete body race tires and all.

[anthonymccarty]

Enjoy watching your videos fellow Texan! Also see the first RC I started off with when they first came out in the background, The Grasshopper. Yes I’m a old timer who still enjoy RCs😜

[Nickwillfixit]

So hopefully you will be explaining all the adjustments needed to make it competitive and iron out any foible's by explaining what it is or should be doing and if not what to do to remedy the handling fault.

Watch the Facebook groups. Lots of good deals. My first ebuggy was a 3 day old Eb48.4 and I got it for $400 RTR. Added my radio, transponder, and went racing. It's a ball!

[shameless]

The thing is that depending on what you want to do you can just build a brand new kit with piece of mind for between 1200-2000$ so u go used for 850-900 and you don't know what your really getting for sure 300$ to me is worth the piece of mind.

[fencer]

Tekno....well that is a surprise. I thought it might be something else for a change ! is now basically becoming and advert channel for Tekno, Traxxas and spectrum ?

[MX-CO]

I recently trief to get started raving as cheap as possible (before seeing this)
I bought a used B5M roller with a servo and wheels on it. For $100
I bought a traxxas tqi Remote and reciever for $40
Than I got a uses Hobbywing XR10 pro for $150
I got 2 high quality batteries for $70
And a new 17.5 motor for $100
And a used charger for $20
So $480 all in
I could have wrnt cheaper on a motor and speed controller but other than that probably about a cheap as I could go

[crazyCHRISTcraver]

Lotta bald eagles in the budget build!

[johnymodem]

I'm glad you put the caveat right at the beginning of the video! Great video. Keep up the good work :)

[robertlongley]

Well explained about the cost. Either way you will have some out of pocket expense

[ryanlsorrell]

I bought a high end Futaba 7pxr for $300 with one reciever. It was a good find.

[isaiahfurrow]

Spektrum DX5C is a great entry level radio, that is also entertaining usable for racing... without the AVC receiver it's pretty cheap, and the sport receivers are only like $29-39... another YouTube channel just did a video comparing lap times from his own radio and that Spektrum, as well as another racer doing the same... it definitely shows the Spektrum radio is more than capable on track and is by far not holding anyone back....maybe the top of racers at the pinnacle of competition, but even those guys could likely podium at big races with a lower end transmitter...

[michaeldorich]

Very good video.I hard to find that Truggy for about $300 or less.

[bigdude]

Very good information video. Do a 1/10 budget build!

[wtcamer]

The change in pitch is likely a boost setting. AKA boosted timing. Can't really know without being able to connect the esc and see the settings, but that is my guess. Also... Cletus is the man. Do it for Dale. Hell Yeah Brother!

Mark kahit lipoly lang for my xmaxx ok na ako!
