  • I entered my first Rc Drift Competition!! I wanted to make this video to show you how it went and what you can expect if you ever want to compete! Subscribe!
    This was filmed at Super-G Rc Drift Arena In Southern California. Its from round four of the super drift series and it was my first time ever competing in an rc drift competition. If your interested in seeing my setup I have a few about what Im running and why. I'm primarily a photographer and videographer but have always loved rc cars and wanted to show how fun they can be.

    I've been in the hobby for six months too and you're doing amazing! I've only been on a track maybe seven times. Having Super G as you're home track is a huge leg up in the hobby. I'm lucky to get one clean lap over a two hour session 😅

    • @SeanLewisMedia
      @SeanLewisMedia  Рік тому +1

      I really appreciate it! It has been a huge advantage being so close. I was probably there 4-7 times each month up until the last couple weeks were I've had to slow down a bit with how bad the weather has been here in socal lol. It legit took me a couple months of being there 4- 7 times each month before I finally was able to get a semi clean full lap lol, so dont feel bad or worry about struggling with it. Its hard haha. I think thats why RC Drift is so fun to me, its so hard to get better at that it makes it rewarding haha. Thanks for watching!

      He's got that special sauce haha! Its an Accuvance x Overdose 10.5t Motor thats making the noise. Its a special edition motor from a bit back I believe and he told me thats why its got that distinct sound. Its paired with Accuvances upper end ESC.

    Nervous is an understatement the way some of the guys can kill on the local track lol. I've been at this about four months, getting better, but still lose it the second I get close to anybody. Hopefully my local track will set up a rookie competition soon, takes a bit of the edge off knowing your competition is just as green as you are 😅😅

    You got the 1200$ shark is that what you said? Only 6mo in to drifting and bought a shark? wow! I bought expensive parts for my rtr mst so now I was looking at the shark final s... wow it looks incredible,,,how ez or not is it to set up for someone kind of new to drifting?

    • @SeanLewisMedia
      @SeanLewisMedia  Рік тому +1

      I actually started with the Yokomo YD2Z RTR and about 3 months in I upgraded to the base Shark that cost $369. The final form actually came out two months after I built my shark so the final form wasnt even an option. Its still just the yd2z with a base shark kit:)
      Its a little hard to setup up but I've made numerous videos about how to set them up as well as a full build video incase you want to see how it all goes together:) Tuning it to drive well is probably the hardest part as a newer drivier but learn on this car will help with any other car you might have down the road. Although these chassis seem like peak form for the hobby currently.

We'll get you out there sometime. I actually almost stopped at Super-G on the way home from picking that rig up to get some parts haha. Its right off the 605 at the 10.

    • @SeanLewisMedia
      @SeanLewisMedia  8 місяців тому

      You are correct! They are all 1/10 scale in my videos and the rules for the US Drift champioship is 1/10. I have seen a couple 1/14th scale drift cars but they were conversions from old onroad cars that were just for fun builds.
