THIS is why old Skool racers are the best. They can deal with track conditions that millennials can’t.
Oh man! I qualified for this race when I got 3rd in 4wd at my regional event in Maryland. I couldn’t afford to travel to Michigan so had to just wait for the RC CAR ACTION magazine that month to see the event and results. I miss those fun years.
They need to bring back dirt tracks that have all the real features of OFF ROAD racing like this one! Watching this video further reinforces the nostalgia of reading rc car magazines that covered the IFMAR championships. Like others said, seeing roost being thrown is a must in off road racing. I wish they would get away from the high bite traction racing.
Vehlow's sideways flip at 4:39 is awsome!!
'Some exciteing stuff folks' The cars: 🐭🐭🐭🐭🐭🐭
Looks a real tricky track to race on. Can see why Associated developed a one off RC10 for this track as it's mega bumpy.
WHAT A RACE ( MODIFIED 1ST LEG. EXCELLENT 👍
I think all of the competing companies, need to step up and go back to having top level races on true off road tracks like this one.
I was at this event! Great racing all weekend! A TRUE OFF ROAD TRACK! Would love to see them go back to more natural tracks like this!
I don't think masamis cat looked any better than the rest of the field, looks like it struggled in the bumps especially in the first heat, he was fortunate to win it all. I thought Kyle reed had the best looking car
who's the winner ?
You could rock up with a brushless HSP n win the race these days 😅🤟🤟🤟 Beautiful old cars...
Didn’t realize how good I had it at the time. RC-10 Graphite, w/ the Stealth transmission. Such a good time and really challenging. Loved it!
Wish they had some ground level cameras in the corners. This is the best stuff on CZcams .
Is that dirt flyin, and lines developing that I see?! Not to mention the whoops!! So rad!
Seems like a lot of tracks try to be perfect these day but not challenging, this track seems like it would have pushed the driver and the car’s ability.
Best tracks. Fast open and flat out!
Liked. Subscribed. Great seeing the older IFMAR events on CZcams. Thank you.
Now these are race tracks. Loose, loamy, unpredictable and “fast”. Anything can happen to anyone. Wish these types of tracks would make a comeback. These are the tracks that made people like Brian Kinwald (RIP) smarter and more adaptable. These are the tracks that made young guns think critically.
Surf's up section...The best thing that ever happened at a worlds.
shake and bake :)
Track unpredictable
The way it should be. A TRUE off road track!
And that's a problem _why?_ If anything, an unpredictable track makes it less about your car and setup and more about car control and adapting to conditions, which is better for close, skillful racing. Nothing against the Mini4WD guys but if you want your racing to be determined by setup and build then maybe you'd be better off with those instead of RC.
4 mins in.... "on him like white on rice...." oh how times have changed haha
Did someone almost not make the start at 0:05?
Post up some old 1/8 offroad racing if you have!
When dirt was a part of off road races.
nice race
E Main...man...for one class
What a great and iconic track to host a worlds event on. The Worlds of today just seem like a very well-attended club race. No sense of something special, no pageantry. Nothing to suggest it’s anything other than a normal club race.
@6:00 the worlds slowest marshaling job.
This was when r/c was still a great sport. More sense of a community, but still in nova and competitive. And a real off-road track that wasn’t super hard packed.
Turn Marshall turned Kyle Reeds car around at 2:04 unfortunately and cost him 2nd, maybe a run for 1st as he was running fastest laps on the last leg of the race.
Back when off-road racing was off-road
drove up to watch the race
Bunch of noobs.
Liked and Subscribed.
I'd give anything to go back and race on that track, especially with modern elecs.
Sadly, that land is an outdoor concert venue now.
The corner Marshall which the host said don't put cars in the track is very shitty he make three mistakes delay putting cars back at that same section, what a fools costing racers time.
I feel like tracks of the past like these would eat up your current 1/10 scale buggy and spit it out. These were real offroad tracks.
Panasonic scr or sce sub-c cell batteries. 7.2v 6 cell or more likely 8.4v 7 cell packs. all these dudes had all the goodies. hand-wound custom motors, plus the 8.4v 7cell packs = pretty fast. it was the runtime that got 'em back in the old days. you could only maintain a charge for 4 or 5 minutes back then.
7 cell packs weren't legal, it was 6 cells only for IFMAR and ROAR. And Sanyo made SCE (yellow) and SCR (red) cells, and the subsequent SCRC (black) cells that give the best of both worlds
What kind of batteries and motors were these guys using? I've been in the hobby quite awhile now myself, and remember Lipos coming out, and brushless motors coming in to play, and they were both past 1991, for consumer, regular guys like me, anyway. Did these guys get hands on goodies, cuz those cars sure look like they move out nicely for a brushed motor! I did notice the battery pack shot in the beginning, and that's no Lipo.
The batteries were 1500 milliamp sanyo cells but probably had 1800 actual milliamp because they were the best of the best saved for the top racers .
They used 540 sized brushed motors that were hand wound and they were in the 11 to 13 turn range. As far as the batteries, they were Sub-C sized but I believe they still used NiCads in 1991 and had 1800mah. I'm a little hazy about the batteries but what I do remember was that you wanted to get a set of Matched batteries if you wanted to be competitive. Matched batteries were batteries that were put in a machine that would charge the batteries at something like 5 amps but then then would discharge at 20 amps! This cycle was repeated a number of times and then the final time they did it, they printed a little label with the amount of time in seconds that it took to discharge that cell at 20 amps and then they would group the batteries in a set of six and those six batteries had similar discharge times. This was done so the voltage of each battery would drop at the same time so the effect you had was a car that would be going fast and then slow down to a crawl when the battery pack ran out of juice where Unmatched batteries would gradually lose voltage instead of a sharp drop because there are cells that are discharged before the other cells so the battery pack gradually loses voltage instead of dropping all at once. Also, the Matched batteries with the longest run times went for a lot of money.
Yeah umm Lipos and Brushless motors were a long way away in 1991.
@@PeTroL420 Great write up☝️👍
@@robertturnip7850 Matched batteries was very good back then. When the lipos became aviable, the nimh batteries was low priority and was not of good quality. And has been ever since. The only "good" nimh batteries today is from Traxxas, Reedy, LRP / Nosram and Team Orion. A matched pack cost 80-90 bucks back then, when a ok basher pack cost 30-40,- After each run, you discharged each cell individually down to a spesific voltage. After charging the battery, they allso boosted the pack, with a bigger pack, to push in as much power as possible just before race start.
A $150 rtr from 2018 could win the the 1991 IFMAR Worlds easily..
Maybe a 300 dollars rtr like a losi 22. These cars can still be almost competitive today with a bigger open track cause they a little heavier. Biggest advancements been in lipo's and brushless motors
Awesome. Back when off-road was off-road. Love seeing them throw a roost up.
i'm surprised the batteries lasted that long.
Back when offroad was actually offroad ;)
Thank you for posting this,brings back a lot of memories,Me and my buddy were invited to the 1988 Reedy 4WD Race of Champions,In Calf. It was a 5 day event and I got to race in the Quafs with Jol Johnson,Moore,C Reed, and Masami Hirosaka who was the Champ at that time,My Heart was pounding the whole 4 mins, After all that made the D main and finshed 3rd. Best part of the whole event was being able to hang and talk with all the big name Drivers, and pit right next to Jam'em J Hulse and his Dad-( Jay drove the corvette R/C car in the movie The Dead Pool with Clint Eastward and body remember? lol Anyway Thx again for posting this R/C Race All the best to you Lou
Thanks for this video. I'm French, 51 years old:-) and my last RC race was with a 2wd Losi XX CR !
