I will say that attitude can make or break you as a racer. I started racing about 6 years ago when I was 9 years old, and for the first 3 years I was kind of a hothead. There was a point in time where if I wasn’t winning I didn’t want to be there. But over the last 3 years I almost completely worked out my attitude and I had so much more fun racing. If i make a mistake it’s not a big deal anymore, like my dad used to say put your head down and drive. If you can get your attitude strait you will be a much better driver.
Love it. Something I tell myself to keep from driving over my head is “slow is smooth, smooth is fast”. Giving it 90% and not crashing in a race is faster than giving it 100% and crashing a few times.
One of the things that helped me over the years is to have the car set up for consistency rather than for the hero lap, so i usually have a car with very slight understeer, cars with great steering tend to bite. Edit: this in turn gives confidence allowing you to focus on your driving
Dude you should be a therapist OMG. I keep passing your videos to my son He has now just completed 7 races he’s making the B main consistently, after he viewed your last video 6 times WE made the A main. Your a big help
Came back after five years. I think one thing that helped me possibly was doing different disciplines, starting buggy then doing on road. I think racing 21.5 has helped me retain muscle memory coming back into buggy. Subbed. Very well narrated channel!
Thanks for the video. Had shocking race day on the weekend. 3 DNFs racing novice was taken out hard in race one didn't realise I had broken rear pill and drive shift kept popping off.Didn't realise till end of race 3. Got help from the locals. Lucky I'm in a great club. But just couldn't shake it off. I don't live near a track so when get to go I get really excited. When it's bad day it's crap. Long drive home. Thanks again.
Some cool tips on this video, thanks! I couldn't help but notice that you are using the FlySky NB4 which has been on my radar. You should do a review video on it and let us know your experience with it so far and maybe compare to some other radios you have used also.
That's actually a friend of mine filming. he's the one using it, I still use my old Futaba 4pls. Though that is a very good idea. Everybody who's switched to it so far though have all loved it so take that as you will.
Yoooo shout out Fernando, he owned toys for boys where i started racing at!! Sorry for spamming your UA-cam comments but i been watching all your vids in anticipation of my kit arriving
I see you are using a flysky nobel nb4 me and my friend recently bought 1 could you please do a video of the throttle curve ,Dual rate . We just started club racing
I've been racing for almost 3 years. I've found most fast guys, won't tell you all there secrets. I've gotten faster, and am pretty fast in sportsman. I am looking to go to the next level, and that part seems to be a secret... We have a trophy race at my track this weekend, I will be racing etruggy, ebuggy, and nitro buggy, not sure where you are located? But it's a great track, in a park, with the track layout built by Bobby Moore, owner of RCTrackMasters, (he builds, PNB, Wicked Weekend, and a few others. The track is wicked fast and it flows well. Check it out on my channel! WCRC is my home track in Wilkesboro Nc. Cool vid man!

Hey! that Lorenzo is my boyfriend, he shares this with me so it was very nice to see how his hobby looks like hahahaha looks fun tho
As the old saying goes, to finish 1st,1st you must finish. Sound advice from the man.

If I know I've already fallen too far back I call it practice with the gang. As well I practice to yield right of way to gain respect 🏴

WE made the A main. Your a big help
Dude that's amazing! It's really nice to see that my videos actually help people. Good luck to you guys in the future.
Your video was like asmr to me. I really appreciate the way you explained things. Really great video brother!

The LoFi music that you play in the background of your videos is awesome. Thanks again for producing some really great content, I know it isn't easy!

I understand that, lot of the tracks here in GA are quite spread out. The more you do it the less nervous you'll get. :)
Actively trying to slow down is the best way for me to improve lap times. Slower is faster!
Nice words of wisdom thanks😀👍
Good video, I was thinking as I was listening to you this guy is the Bob Ross of rc and you brought his name up lol weird.
Awesome video! Keep it up man, love the videos!!
You just shaved a second off my time sir..Thank You!👍😎..You know thats a lot in RC..lol

Lol I don't mind.
Great videos, thanks...from your voice I cant imagine you getting angry though...
It's hard to really get me angry when I'm racing. I'm usually having too much fun for that to happen.
Haha at 0:18 so that's what you wanted to take a video of our cars for.
I see you are using a flysky nobel nb4 me and my friend recently bought 1 could you please do a video of the throttle curve ,Dual rate . We just started club racing
Great idea. I'll make a video on that sometime in the future.
