So much to learn! I've been building FPV quads for about a year now but my heart is always with the RC cars. I don't have one yet but just got my son a 2wd truck and I see I have a lot to learn as I get into the more premium cars. I'm new to your channel and glad I came across it when I prompted the search. One thing I learned from quadcopters is its very easy to spend money on things you don't need or on things that are all hype. I hope we can start a dialog as I move forward, I'll have many questions along the way.
Yoga blocks make awesome car stands especially for crawlers and Yoga mats make good cheap pit mats just a FYI There are lots of non RC products that have an RC equivalent for a lot less $$$ ever since I made my first discharger by wiring some 1157 bulbs together back in the day I’ve been searching out cheaper alternatives than what’s available traditionally
Great Videos as always Mark, great tips, I used to own Team Novak mod 1 pinions , but when I saw that Tekno pinions came with a bigger set screw and the design of the tooth is also better , it was a no-brainer I upgraded all my mod1 pinions to Tekno . My friends are using Hobbywing ESC with good results , I use the RX8 Gen3 with also good results. The latest firmware release did help Tekin a lot.
Got a bit of a laugh with those foam blocks... cause I was looking for alternative car stands and my ‘net search showed a bunch of those. Do they work? 😅
Hey Mark let me ask you something I have a lot of a chassis slap on my car when I'm at my hometown track we have a ramp that you jump off of and land almost flat on the ground and I get a lot of chassis slap and sometimes the front end bounces up in the aircould this be due to ride height or shock oil or what?...i use 650 wt in both front and rear with pink and red springs..any ideas...you can see my track on my you tube channel Bunk Blount R/C...check it out and get back with me if you have the time...your just about the only one i subscribe too on you tube who answers questions with a written answer not just a heart or thumbs up or something stupid...lol...great vlog man keep up the good work i whine my night out by watching your vids...lol
I use Velcro’ and more Velcro’s straps I got a mugen bmx7 T truggy and I got a 2ooo kv tekin and Hobby Wing 150 amp censored 🤬 the plus you mean first gen redline Tekin
Good tips, totally agree on the Robinson racing pinions!

Yea best buy also sells lamps that are just like r/c pit lamps for alot cheaper too
You should do an 1/8 scal truggy shoot out with Suggested electronics per manufacture and see laps times with similar milliamps batteries
Tekno pinion gears have given me the best results. I've tried RR and HR
I run them on all of my mod1 rigs.
For 32p I prefer RR
Great tips
Cheers
Yes ,good tip on the rubber spacers under the servos wish they came on all of them.
Cool tip on Velcro and zip tie .. you da man!
I always Velcro the esc and the receivers...that’s how I learned to mount those to the chassis.
Great vid! We need more rc channels like this!
Great vid man, superior quality

i ran my first ebuggy race yesterday and my pinion set screw came loose luckily I didn't strip my spur. its got lock tight now
Just found your videos I love watching them I’ve watched almost all of them plus I race rc dirt oval 1/5 scale 1/10 too
Looks clean
Love me some Tekno Pinions! The best. Then again Tekno everything is awesome lol
I realize I am kinda off topic but does anyone know of a good place to watch newly released series online?

@Korbyn Brysen thanks, signed up and it seems like they got a lot of movies there =) Appreciate it!
@Riley Abel you are welcome =)
Nice vid bro keep them coming I’m in New Orleans . Maybe I’ll see ya @ southern nats
nice advices!
How do you manage to pass a zip tie under the esc tray? it seems to me that there is no space? 😊
Mark, how often do you perform maintence on your electric motors and how do you do it?
great video
What pit light do you have there on your bench?
I can dig it! nice knowledge bombz!!!
To zip tie the esc you drilled holes in the chassis?
Tekno has a plate to mount the ESC so i just run a ziptie around the plate.
Got a bit of a laugh with those foam blocks... cause I was looking for alternative car stands and my ‘net search showed a bunch of those. Do they work? 😅
Yes, I've used them for the last couple of meets and the only 'issue' is I need 2 under my truggy. Cost me $4aud each
Jamey was here.
3 seasons old? Must be ruff lol. I still have the first gen sidewinder sct combo. Its still going lol
Mark, what truck do you run for your race short course?
Ryan West Tekno SCT410.3
Mark check our my first race kit build..I'm really proud of it..Tekno nt 48.3.i don't so electric anymore but great video brother
When are you going to run electric 110 buggies
I use 2layers of sticky tape. Then I hit it with a lighter and heat up the tape. It will never come out
Robinson racing T-6 set screws.
I use 3m white vhb for my esc. It never comes out lol.
