love it! regarding the toe settings. this is the only way it goes. toe out in the rear = overstear an instability. toe out on the front = over stear and instability. to maximise stability. sett sligt toe in on rear. then sett more and more toe in on front until the car is stable. toe angle also pulls from negative toward possitive while accelerating. hope this helps. keep the vids coming, they are gold!

that sounds wrong. Toe out gives more oversteer in corners (your inner wheel steers more into the corner) but reduces straight line stability, whilst toe in gives more straigth line stability and reduces responsiveness of the car That's why RWD prefers toe in for increased stability and FWD prefers toe out for increased responsiveness
I think its amazing you think shes my mom, when I am the one with the Grayist hair here.. but maybe its just cause you have never seen a woman.. Lol Get out of the basement once in a while
You need to add a little steering expo to get it less twitchy in the center. On the flysky gt5 try +20 to 30 steering expo. For some reason negative expo makes it more twitchy in center which is the opposite from the other radio systems out there.
Depending on the speed of the steering servo it may need more as the faster the steering servo the more twitchy the car will be. Even 60-70% should be sufficient to make the car easier to drive at higher speeds
Thank you Ryan... a lot of people here literally have no clue what the F8CK they are talking about.. and 100kph in this car is INSANITY! :) Its a HUGE!! Thanks brother.. you truly understand... on a wobbly road.. this was amazing!

great job to you and the wife! can't wait for it to be at 100% even on only using 8S power. then you can unlock the beast! perhaps, make friends who own a private airport with a paved runway so you can accomplish that run. thanks Aaron! see you in the next vid!
It’s so awesome your a true rc pro. You always chose to do the high speed coming towards you. That makes the steering reverse. You would be good at flying rc planes too
It takes a bit of trial and error to dial in the car, toe, shocks and downforce. Then it takes a bit to get used to driving the car at such high speeds! Can't wait to see you get all figured out!! Thanks for the videos!
I have to drive a good 45 minutes to find a place to run my 4tec 3.3. Both are town parking lots for beaches. One is "flat" and a good 1/4 mi long. The other is maybe an 1/8 mile long, newer pavement, but has a few "rolling" humps in it.
When I first saw it I was thinking Pagani Zonda too, but I knew there was another similar car I was forgetting, and then you said McLarin and I know that's the other one I was thinking of. You made it my favorite color! 😏
Awesome content as always sir 👍😎. Make sure your tires are balanced and all play is out of your hubs. Play with the toe also, toe in a bit. I did these things and my 4tec goes laser straight doing 125mph+.
Should get foam tires, though I'm not sure if they make them for 1/5 scale. Foam tires have way more grip than rubber. You are correct, toe in makes it more stable, but at the sacrifice of amount of steering (though you still turned down dual rate so it obviously wasn't a problem). You typically see toe out more on drift cars. Great video, can't wait to see you smash 100kph!
That was awesome medic, I am getting good at driving my LMT gravedigger fast without getting out of control, well will catch you on the next one peace and chicken grease 👍👍😎
Love your videos please consider using one of your top of the line transmitters with this setup. Although it could be entertaining watching you take yourself out with an RC but I'd much rather you and the Misses stay safe. And the high end functions may help tame the beast.
Toe in front and back for speed, toe out front for crisp turn in. At this size with no slop in steering mechanism the car should track perfectly straight without input. So cool and fun to watch these large scale cars.
Nice runs . The stock wing looks great but you need race style massive downforce for on road RC cars IMO and experience . It really needs to push down your suspension compensatory to your speed . Aerodynamics are also important when your trying to do several hundreds of MPH in scale .
Thank you Donnie.. so many people have no idea what they are talking about in this comment section.. but you do ;) Cant keep a car straight on a shit road.. no matter how good it is.. Lol. 96kph is decent
@@TheRealRCSparks don’t pay attention to the noobs haha..I hate when I’m driving my brushless rc and some idiot always walks up and tells me to get a nitro because they’re the fastest and I’m like actually no 😂
As someone who's never done speed runs I'll say that you seem to be fairly close to a good setting already. As an ex professional tire fitter I can tell you that too much toe in is not good for a all wheel drive. If the front wheels are parallel at standstill, they will naturally toe in a little when they start to drive, depending on how much slack is in the steering etc. More so in a FWD car. The eventual effect is to make the steering vague and liable to wash out from understeer. The fronts pull against the weight of the vehicle, and will try to rotate forwards on the kingpin. Yes there is some "push" from a 4x4's rear wheels, (that obviously a pure FWD car doesn't get) which kind of stabilizes and, mm, yeah, partly negates the effect at the front, but it's swings and roundabouts. So, if you can measure the toe angle, and because this is scaled down, I'd say do not have more than half of one degree toe in if the setup is free of slack. I know this is not 100% helpful, but it's just to give you some ideas. 😁👍
Such an amazing rc for sure but just saying you should paint the inside of the body matte black to hide the body colour through the windows. Keep up the great content Medic 🤙
It's much easier to get a top speed being behind it instead of driving towards you. I've got a cen genesis .46 1/5th scale and it's huge and does 50mph on or off road. It's quite easy to keep in a straight line, I think it's because of the big wheels. If you want to go fast and the steering not to be twitchy and quick to turn toe it in but if you want to be able to turn quick and tighter toe it out. I've been messing with that for years. For offroading it's best to toe it out if your not driving long straights. Think about it this way when the wheels are pointing in its like a spear head flying straight and when they are pointing out it's like having sails that catch the wind and make it turn very easily. Plus your making the turning circle tighter when they are out. I've also got s tmaxx that's totally tuned up and does about 90mph if you can keep it on four wheels because it just wants to wheelie and flip all the time with the smallest amount of throttle. Hope this helps 👍❤️💛💚
Wondering if you can use a 2s lipo for the steering to slow the steering down a little so it’s not so twitchy ? IDK but it helps me slowing steering down 👍👍cool rip 💯🔥
Looks very twitchy down the road , but dam awesome 👊 glad there wasn't any damage from going off the road, it's a lovely shell for sure and be a shame to damage it already. Great run and congrats on the new pb 😁👍
Thanks for sharing. That thing drives with authority! Now, I too, will share what I have learned about these magnificent little vehicles and their geometry. What needs to be understood is this is a c-hub car, and it will exhibit a positive scrub radius by nature. This is WHY under acceleration, the front end will twist into toe in. C-hub cars also tend to turn the vehicle under power very well due to this force. However, under breaking, the front will twist into toe out. It is mostly agreed upon that toe in will make the car more stable and track straighter under hard acceleration, so this is why many suggest to give a degree of toe in (I use calipers to ensure turnbuckle lengths match) Now here's my main point: by contrast, pillow ball geometry (arrma) will have a negative scrub radius and basically do everything that I just explained, but opposite. The rear end of pbs cars tend to dominate steering, and this is why they power slide oh so well. Now, if one is more accustomed to driving something like an infraction or felony on road, it is going to take some major adjustment on the driver's part to get a handle on this c-hub car. Like you said, the main factor right now in improving the handling of the setup is going to be more wheel time. It helps me to think about the physics of these forces when tuning my cars. Hope it helps you in some way, too.
Personally I have a little toe out on the front for speed runners. It looks like your rears have toe in like most rc's so toe in on the front aswel will make twitchy. Next time you go out take a wrench so you can adjust it after each run 👍🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻
Im by no means a professional in the speed run area either, toe it out slightly and see how the car drives. I think you may find it less twitchy. Love the build Medic. Long time subscriber here
Looks like this beast will be a tuff one. Once car pulls one side on throttle and the other on brake, makes it hard to get it right. Reminds me of the traxxas xo-1
That is a mental machine. I think maybe you should try standing behind it when you do your tests then you can adjust the steering a little better, especially at those speeds. I do like the white writing on the wheels.
1). I dont stand in the middle of a road with my back to full size cars when trying to drive at high speed 2). Driving this way, gives me a longer distance to get up to speed 3) White writing is epic on the tires, I agree!
@@TheRealRCSparks NO dont do it when your on the road, that would just be stupid for anyone to do, I was thinking if you found a place where it were possible to do so. It would be good if you could find a place where you could get the distance you need but also have an elevated area for you to stand above and to the side of the car.
That is fast I hit 114 with my x01 the only problem I have is the front and is lifting at high speeds you're doing the right thing by turning down the dual rate on high-speed runs it makes it more stable if you can keep the car planted that thing should just be outrageously fast
Nice run! Did the body get crunched at the back? You need a runway! Get the tires hot with 1 set of batteries then do a speed run with a fresh batt 😎🇨🇦
Awesome. I'm sure you know this, but just for people that might not, for high speed stability, open front toe out around 2.5 degrees per side Toe rear in around same or more. Camber front negative to lesson tire contact going straight so steering is little lazy. Also, set steering curve on remote to slow rates down at center. And always, have a blast, getting blasted
I have an airport I can go to.. Im just having fun outside my house.. (like everyone in the world does).. Lol.. people just have high expectations of me.. and I like making them wait so they cheer later.. Its called postponement strategy and its how I make myself look good over time.. and make a series out of it. Everyone can say im an idiot now.. and Im used to this every time I try a new area of the hobby. I always come out a champ though :)
Hi my over-the-seas Friends! It's so unsual to see you ridin' an Rc's car on a " brand new" asphalt ! Very interesting video.. with a perfect plate road, you should overpass 100 kph easily.. A cam inside should be so impressive.. bye thanks ! 👍🤜🤛😉
Damn so close to 100!!! That was pretty great right there, little surprised that it took that wipe out like a champ but bigger should be stronger right? Way to go tho, almost there and then what's the next barrier to break?
@@TheRealRCSparks yeah but look at a BMW M5, look at the setup. It’s built to hold a line and corner. I used to race 8th scale buggies too. It’s science not my opinion lol. Toe in our back, toe out up front. Lay tires in a touch too. You’ll have a straight line grip monster.
@@blaccteezy that's for cornering for speed runs you want no toe in the front because under acceleration it will pull the wheels to have toe in. And toe in makes a car stable in a straight line, toe out makes it turn into corners better.
Go to the epa setting and bring the servo channel down to 50% it will make it so your steering isn't so sensitive....I have the same radio and been using it for 3yrs
sheesh man that things guna be stoopid fast if it isnt already haha, just couple questions but is there a way to set a steering curve in the settings so the 1st 75% input in steering on the controller is like 25% on the car or something like that? also in a readl car i know to lock arms when driving fast, would it help to rest the side of your thumb on the controller when steering to help stability? im not sure just a thought :) you guys rock \m/
Just out of curiosity, do you all have any really big parking lots that you could use for the speed runs so you wouldn't have to worry about hitting trees or sliding off the road and messing up that beautiful car
So what is the Mph in scale?
Multiply by 5... !! SO SWEET :) 300 MPH

Now, if one is more accustomed to driving something like an infraction or felony on road, it is going to take some major adjustment on the driver's part to get a handle on this c-hub car. Like you said, the main factor right now in improving the handling of the setup is going to be more wheel time. It helps me to think about the physics of these forces when tuning my cars. Hope it helps you in some way, too.
Personally I have a little toe out on the front for speed runners. It looks like your rears have toe in like most rc's so toe in on the front aswel will make twitchy. Next time you go out take a wrench so you can adjust it after each run 👍🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻
Im by no means a professional in the speed run area either, toe it out slightly and see how the car drives. I think you may find it less twitchy. Love the build Medic. Long time subscriber here
It was toe out in the previous video. Now it is toe in during this one. Thanks JHawk.. trial and error
"Chores when you're gorgeous are better" 😆
Looks like this beast will be a tuff one. Once car pulls one side on throttle and the other on brake, makes it hard to get it right. Reminds me of the traxxas xo-1
do you have an Aarma phelony or infraction? You could really tear up the area around you. Good stuff
That is a mental machine. I think maybe you should try standing behind it when you do your tests then you can adjust the steering a little better, especially at those speeds. I do like the white writing on the wheels.
1). I dont stand in the middle of a road with my back to full size cars when trying to drive at high speed
2). Driving this way, gives me a longer distance to get up to speed
3) White writing is epic on the tires, I agree!
@@TheRealRCSparks NO dont do it when your on the road, that would just be stupid for anyone to do, I was thinking if you found a place where it were possible to do so.
It would be good if you could find a place where you could get the distance you need but also have an elevated area for you to stand above and to the side of the car.
That is fast I hit 114 with my x01 the only problem I have is the front and is lifting at high speeds you're doing the right thing by turning down the dual rate on high-speed runs it makes it more stable if you can keep the car planted that thing should just be outrageously fast
Nice run! Did the body get crunched at the back? You need a runway! Get the tires hot with 1 set of batteries then do a speed run with a fresh batt 😎🇨🇦
I'm surprised he hasn't made a R/C street sweeper/outdoor Roomba.
As per Forza tuning tips:
Toe out will help with straight line stability, toe in will help it corner, at the sacrifice of straight line stability.
Toe Out was the First Video John :) This is the Second. I was more improved today for sure .. Im 1 degree in
Awesome. I'm sure you know this, but just for people that might not, for high speed stability, open front toe out around 2.5 degrees per side Toe rear in around same or more. Camber front negative to lesson tire contact going straight so steering is little lazy. Also, set steering curve on remote to slow rates down at center. And always, have a blast, getting blasted
This poor man,all that kv and no road that blows bro, hope you find someplace close that you guys can open up on both your 1/5ths👍
I have an airport I can go to.. Im just having fun outside my house.. (like everyone in the world does).. Lol.. people just have high expectations of me.. and I like making them wait so they cheer later.. Its called postponement strategy and its how I make myself look good over time.. and make a series out of it. Everyone can say im an idiot now.. and Im used to this every time I try a new area of the hobby. I always come out a champ though :)
@@TheRealRCSparks well whatever your doing it’s obviously working 😂👍
Looks nice 👍
hell yeah! awesome vidieo!
I saw your wife sweeping in the begining of the show. My thought was, "Hmmm. He dosent have an R/C street sweeper!!". LOL!
Im shocked, I think shes a wonderful sweeper ;)
Oh she’s a keeper for sure buddy.
is yes you have to play on the expo if you want your car to shoot straight the you are when 8s thinks a little if you go above beautiful video
Beautiful day and beautiful car. Good all around!
Awesome rc, you can also turn down your Steering Sensitivity (expo) to help with high speed passes 👍🏻
Good first test run, what potential it has 💯
That would help with my excitement shakes!
I know what you mean. That RC is next level. It needs a wide road or large car park to drive on 👍🏻
Lovett brother we project. I guess she said I stole your leaf blower. And say sometime. And thank you guys really love it
I'm probably wrong but it almost seems like it has some heavy torque steer when you start laying in the power.
I don't know if you have a gyro on the car? But, it looks like you definitely should have one in it. It should give you more stability at high speed.
Nice car RC👏🏻👏🏻
Awesome 💪
This thing is undrivable
It even has that SuperCar sound! Faster Faster!
Sounds beautiful right!
Hi my over-the-seas Friends! It's so unsual to see you ridin' an Rc's car on a " brand new" asphalt ! Very interesting video.. with a perfect plate road, you should overpass 100 kph easily.. A cam inside should be so impressive.. bye thanks ! 👍🤜🤛😉
On full size cars, 1/8 toe in is usual due to lift on acceleration. As you accelerate the front of the car goes up and the wheels go straight.
Damn so close to 100!!! That was pretty great right there, little surprised that it took that wipe out like a champ but bigger should be stronger right? Way to go tho, almost there and then what's the next barrier to break?
I prefer a slight toe out but test both and see what YOU like dude! Cheers
you squirly cause that toe in. Toe out is for a reason. It helps hold straight and cornering too. Toe the front out and the rear in.
Read the comments bro 50% of you say the opposite of each other. Like I said in the video.. no one actually knows.. because each vehicle is different
@@TheRealRCSparks yeah but look at a BMW M5, look at the setup. It’s built to hold a line and corner. I used to race 8th scale buggies too. It’s science not my opinion lol. Toe in our back, toe out up front. Lay tires in a touch too. You’ll have a straight line grip monster.
@@blaccteezy that's for cornering for speed runs you want no toe in the front because under acceleration it will pull the wheels to have toe in. And toe in makes a car stable in a straight line, toe out makes it turn into corners better.
@@masonkaye5 finally, someone who knows what they're talking about
Go to the epa setting and bring the servo channel down to 50% it will make it so your steering isn't so sensitive....I have the same radio and been using it for 3yrs
That first crash hurt my soul. lol You should try gyro assist or practice at a rc track with a smaller less expensive one.
Why, I cant correct for road bumps at an imaginary track
sheesh man that things guna be stoopid fast if it isnt already haha, just couple questions but is there a way to set a steering curve in the settings so the 1st 75% input in steering on the controller is like 25% on the car or something like that? also in a readl car i know to lock arms when driving fast, would it help to rest the side of your thumb on the controller when steering to help stability? im not sure just a thought :) you guys rock \m/
U should get a Arrma limitless definitely
Should seems a bit strong, we’re playing with this one right now.
Love this 😀 maybe steering servos needs little adjustment to sensitive 😜
Awesome crazy fast
Wow thats fast medic and gem would the first person view camera help you more on those runs
Just out of curiosity, do you all have any really big parking lots that you could use for the speed runs so you wouldn't have to worry about hitting trees or sliding off the road and messing up that beautiful car
Nope. Literally. Also - No one really understand how large this car is.. Im literally crossing a football field in 12 seconds at this speed already
@@TheRealRCSparks I can only imagine how awesome that would be to see in person. Well sir have a great day, And thank you for the great videos!
