    Great videos. This one really gets to some very good things to keep in mind. I have just 2 to add. 1) To finish first you must first finish. (you mentioned not breaking, but this is easier for a novice to remember.) 2)For anyone thinking about getting into racing; if you can't have fun coming in last in at first remember, you are learning it can be fun or frustrating. Have fun and learn. I'm 69 years old so I've gotten used to coming in last and having a great time. That's how I go home a winning every race day.

    Hands down, this is the most informative RC video I've watched in the 2 years I've been racing. I struggle with shock setup and every video Ibwatch seems to show different ways that haven't seemed to work for me. I look forward to trying it your way. I subscribed. I enjoy your presentation, your positivity, and your advice. Keep up the good work! One thing I'll be looking for on your page is a video about shock oil selection by weight.

    Ryan: This might help you with an extra tenth or so especially with super loose/blown out tracks where light suspension is used.
    When doing your ride height, drop the car on two layers of polymer film, trashbags work fine, that are split down the center of the car. This acts as a roller bearing and allows the tires to compress outwards and inwards, squash, allowing true rolling ride height.
    Keep it up! Great videos :)

  • @respirologyrc
    @respirologyrc 2 роки тому +2

    Ryan; great videos. I’m a long time racer (20yrs)… i have taken the past 13yrs off to raise my family. However this year i started racing again. Before i picked it back up, i watched your videos and this actually convinced me to go back. Not only have i gone back but have used many of your tips which in turn have made me faster.
    I wouldn’t mind if you made a video that went over oils and springs, preload, after load, and how the car reacts with different setups.
    Thank you!
    Keep up the fast speeds!

    It was also good to see the races and see how he did.
    Well done Ryan, please keep posting.

      @RyanHarrisRC  7 років тому +3

    @michaelleone4129 6 років тому +1

    Super good video and funny because I used to tell my daughter the same thing as tips 3 & 4 and she’d get so frustrated because I’d tell her to watch the other drivers to see what they do and then other times I’d tell her to just focus on her car like tip 4 and she’d be like “so am I supposed to watch the cars in front of me or not” lol. Both tips make perfect sense unless you are telling them to a teenager at the same time. Super helpful on the shock build too because I’d always been told to set rebound but your way seems smoother. Thanks again!

  • @aljensen7779

    My goodness - thank you Ryan. If only I had seen this video before I began racing, just this year. Lots of good tips. I enjoy balancing and tuning my truck but my driving skills haven't yet challenged the trucks' capabilities. Next season I'll definitely pay attention and copy the guy who just passed me. Thanks again and I hope you have, or will make more instructionals like this one. I'll sub.

    1st shock oil change following your tips. Thank you sharing. Traxxas GTR bleed holes are set little differently but overall it was same process and it goes well for the oil change. Like slower is faster so true. Cheers

    Hey Ryan, I love all your tips, and maintenance ways, and ideas. I don't actually (race) but do own a large number of RC cars/buggys etc, and use your tips and ideas for my buggys etc, and most of the time- I get my buggys/cars going (better) performance wise than brand new from the box. Thanks Ryan, keep up the awesome work mate.

  • @martincalleja
    @martincalleja 4 роки тому

    Hi, I enjoyed watching you clip, you certainly know what you are talking about, and you have the talent to explain it in simple terms. Suspension is a very complex setup, as it moves up and down, variables change accordingly, so like you said, you have to have it right. Another thing is that we are dealing with 1/10 scale, therefore a small error in the setup will be multiply by 10 in real life scenario. Keep up the good work!

  • @isaiahfurrow7414
    @isaiahfurrow7414 6 років тому +3

    can you do videos specifically about setting each adjustment, and what those changes will do as far as handling changes...
    like a video all about ride height... one about shock adjustments like different piston/oil combinations and spring rates...
    a video about toe changes and how they affect handling.
    a video about camber...
    and one about other smaller changes like Ballston washers and Ackerman and roll center and ....
    I'm just getting into setups beyond tires and shock oils, and picked up a ride height guage, camber and toe tools, and have a shock shaft tool and shock stand coming. ...
    thanks for your videos, subbed

    @wouldntchuliketoknow8468 6 років тому

    Awesome video and a lot of great tips. If I can just ask 1 question why did you tighten your shock cap back on with tools? It's my understanding that you shouldn't have to. It's kind of like tightening a oil filter in a full size car you only need to hand tighten them. I've only ever hand tightened mine and have never had an issue.

    Great advice. 1987 thru 1988 I raced a Tamiya Grasshopper. Crude by today's standards, but top of the limits back then. I had modified it with Oil filled shocks in the front. All wheels and the transmission had sealed bearings, I had better steering parts and I had an adjustable timing Kyosho Motor. There were faster cars than mine but I won more times in my class than cars faster than me. I will never forget a guy coming over to me very frustrated. He says my car is faster than yours but you always beat me......How are you doing that. By being in control of my car. While his car could pass me....He would always loose control of it and crash. I would drive around him as the spotters would try to get to his car and put him back on the track.
