Its really good to see that people care about the other drivers that aren’t doing great strait away.
I got a on track lesson this past week from a seasoned racer and it helped tremendously. Thank you to all you out there that mentor the newbies!
it had happened a few times i had given basic leasons to new drivers (mostly young kids) that struggle the first times at the track, most of the time its that they drives like cowboys forcing the steering left to right.
had done some laps where we both had our hand on the steering so they can feel how smoth and calm they need to steer the car.
and also detune their car to propper "noob speed" as well as mine to eaven slower speed so they get the feel of they got the faster car and do some batteries of "follow and race" me and i race them that inspire to go back to the track as soon as possible.
Another good topic would be transmitter settings, like drag brake, throttle speed curve, exponential etc. Slowing the speed down seems to help the older people who start RC who don't have insanely fast reflexes. 2nd recommendation is show examples of big races where a slower guy moves over and lets the leader through. Even the pros let people pass! WAY too many people who are 3-4 laps down think they are going to win still. Teach them how to run a fast lap while letting someone pass. Move a groove up and just let them pass quickly and get back on the throttle. A lot of people quit racing because the new people take the leaders out and ruin their main.
Do these race vehicles use significant drag brake , "engine braking" ?
@@stevenmortensen1257 they use as much as you set on the ESC.
I agree brown I’m 70 so I’m trying
When Ryan offers advice... Listen
I don't even need driving lessons but its always a good refresher
😂
Everyone could always use some help 😂
That was awesome that you took the time out to help her out....I wish more rc racers would take some time out to help newbies in this hobby.....nice job sir
I’m no pro but I try to share some of the little knowledge I have with any newcomer. Great way to make friends
Would like to see a video and explain braking into corners a little more, and how your radio is set up for doing that. Thx for the great videos
I'd say the most important thing she needs to focus on is being smooth on all the inputs. Not just the throttle, but also the steering. Getting better car control is more important than staying in the racing line for now. When that becomes easier it's less daunting to stay in the racing line and getting the jumps right.
Just my two cents :)
I was about to type out a comment, and then I saw this comment lol
Yes. A good training exercise for beginner car control is a figure of 8. Lots of lefts and rights, braking and acceleration and all at a distance that's easy to see and coach. Use a couple of bits of rope to "pinch" the 8 later on and they have the control basics, without needing track time.
@@donutt64 This is a good start. Also just making a simple track with some cones is a lot of fun as well.
Now that you've done a beginner cornering lesson, do one a bit more advanced. Someone who races a bit but always comes in last or close to it. How does that person improve their cornering? How to approach different corners?
Very cool of a pro to take the time to help a beginner. Nice to see you are not "above" us little people. Keep up the great work Ryan.
I always tell the sportsman at my track, the car is faster on its wheels than the roof, hit your line on the track, speed will come with consistency
I have helped other drivers in the past before by lapping a track at 50% of my fastest speed or 75% and letting the beginner try to hang on to my coats tails all the way around the track. Sort of like ghosting on PC driving games. Takes practice but they have a goal they can see right in front of them and helps them to connect the corners together by watching the person in front. - Also try the beginner on their own with 50% throttle maximum and just ask them to try get it around with no mistakes for 5 mins. Them gradually up the max throttle at each and every new run while still trying not to make mistakes.
She was so much better after being told where to drive. Well done . Looked good jumping to🙂
"Slow down and you'll go faster" An adage taught and stressed to me my entire life racing motocross. Smooth, consistent laps, the speed will come. Now, if I could just listen to my own advice when I drive RC cars....
My dad said the same for my motocross practices to
“slow is smooth, smooth is fast”
I run a LiFE pack for practice....it forces me to drive slower while warming up and learning the new layout.
I think Ryan is on a streak here... sooo many videos in the last few days.. that compensates for the lack of them in the last months!
I want to see one on braking down a track and coming up with how you are going to run each area. Jumping and landing. How to carry more corner speed.
Im new to RC racing myself, and ive watched a lot of your videos over the past month. They've all been a great help, cross your fingers as i airbrush my first body today
What is a good low budget starter pit set up? What the is a good starting point and budget friendly tools, chargers and etc...? Thanks for the video's keep up the great work. It was cool you helped out JQ.
This is what I'd like to see, I want to get back into it, I ran short course 5 years ago, and alots changed
A how to race series will be great as I haven’t seen anything like it this far. Nice work
Really awesome to see an experienced racer helping a new racer. These are valuable lessons for a new driver to learn. Well done man!
Ryan you just continue to impress me over and over with all your videos. For someone just getting back into RC, your channel is pure gold. I appreciate all the hard work and detail you put into your videos. Keep it up!
sometimes that "slow is fast" is completely true... old saying goes, you can't win the race if you can't finish the race!
The saying is, “To finish first, you must first finish." But close enough 👍
I love the fact that your helping a beginner driving a associated and not a losi. The sport over a brand for the greater good. Your a ambassador for the sport.
And that's what it's all about. Helping others and creating a healthy fun environment. Great job. I been driving a year and you can always relearn the basics better.👍🏽💯
I love this channel, Ryan your advice is almost 99.999% on point, keep up the great work. Please keep helping the young racers!
So cool to see this. I got a Losi min t 2.0 brushless fro Christmas now I have the racing. Mainly all my RC experience is in crawlers and monster trucks. So this series is awesome.
Good to see that I am not alone with my Challanges as a beginner! Greetings from Overseas Germany!
Awesome video.. your comment about connecting the track made a ton of sense.. never looked at it that way. Excited to see where this series goes. Keep up the great content!
Dude, I dig your channel and the subs because of one thing. I don't see one comment that says anything about how "i'm way faster in the same corner" or "you're teaching it wrong", everyone offers positivity and solutions because we were ALL literally there at one point and no-one acts like they weren't. Keep up the awesome content, the good vibes!
I’m new to racing and I learned more from this video than I have since beginning. Thank you and look forward to future videos on this subject
A thing a THINK I see here.. Is the steering part. Probably she is steering with the wheel, and then letting the wheel go with your fingers. It's something I see A LOT with beginner drivers, it makes the steering of the car not proportion, like it only has right and left, like a toy car. This makes steering for beginners a whole lot more difficult. But I might be wrong off course, but to me it just looks like that in the video. Props to you for helping people out!! Keeps the hobby a lot more enjoyable!
Great to see videos like this, there are so many out there about modifications and equipment, but not many on how to actually drive a track fast. Looking forward to the next video :)
Started watching your videos last week, picked up my first RC that I have intentions on racing (not just bashing) and I would love to see more of these!
I love everything about her energy and how she picked it up pretty well not to mention looking really pretty doing it, awesome work Ryan!
Bought a 1/28 scale associated sc. Truck 2 days ago. Turned my entire basement i to a track with cardboard ramps/jumps. Nostalgia galore.
I'm going to really like this series..I haven't been in an actually race yet and I've only been on a track 3 times. I run indoor carpet which is my local track. TLR 22 5.0 Ac is my buggy. I think this will really help me focus on certain racing aspects and cant wait to see more of these. I'm goping my first race day will come up soon. Thanks Ryan
Thanks Ryan for helping us newbies out Like the advice you gave. An episode on steering then jumps would helpful.
Been watching you for awhile... After a 25 year relapse I'm again wanting to get out race my rc cars... Video was very helpful, keep em coming!!!
that's awesome Ryan! great to see an est racer like you helping out a beginner. btw, sent this to my son. he's 9 & loves to go fast, but we built a 22 Elite recently & he trying to get better.
thanks for taking time out to help us all getting better in rc that we love
Thanks Ryan. This is how we grow the hobby. This is also how i learn to stop breaking my car. Thanks again.
Great information easy to understand. Never drove a track just bashing away. This definitely interests me. Now to find a track
Yessssss! A beginners series will be super useful, great idea Ryan! Your videos have inspired me to have a go at buggy racing after lockdown here, so this series will be super helpful.
Great video. Nice to watch mortal people learning how to improve themselves. Consistency is key! Especially at club racers level. Better be slower without being marshalled than faster but crashing all over the place. At my local track, we do 5 min training sessions and it's the driver who has to Marshall his own car! The walk of shame! A fantastic way to be more consistent hence faster. Top drivers are super fast but most of all, they are incredibly consistent .
Excellent 👌 people forget that a clean lap is faster that blasting from corner to corner and making mistakes... Transmitter set up was a massive help for me starting back.
Ryan, this is a great video, as well as a great idea for a series! Thank you for the time and effort you are putting into your videos, as well as mentoring new drivers!! 👍👍👊
This will be a great series! Hoping there will be an episode in jumps and control in the air! I need it!
Amazing lesson, and advice. Thank you Sir, well done!
Great tips, thanks for sharing.... Just picked up my first RC it's the Losi LMT Grave Digger 👊😁
THIS is the series I have been waiting for. And by the perfect teacher. Thank you Ryan.
Absolutely great video! Good to see guys helping newbies. Cheers from Spain!
That video by YOU is like a dream come true! And I love the idea of making a series out of it
@ryan harris you are the man. best and most informational vidoes out there and im a tlr guy too with a 22 5.0 ac and a 22x4. keep in rolling ill be in florida to race with you hopefully soon
We did a little thing at our track where different "seasoned" drivers taught a class on the aspects of the RC world from driving to setup and maintenance .. I know that this is basically what you are doing to help others enjoy RC !!!
Dude this series is gonna help out sooo many people! Awsome man! 🤘🏼
Ryan you are a great embasador to this sport/hobby keep it up.
mr. Harris this new series is going to be great. Can’t wait for more videos like this to come. There’s a lot of new drivers that’s willing to learn.
great helping Video, last weekend war my first run on a Racetrack and i thought i have to drive very fast and learn to control the car with highspeed. I dont must tell you what was the result. Who thought that drive slow is the way to go fast. I love the Video, you are a good RC driving instructor. Thanks for Videos like this.
This is great stuff Ryan!!! I can’t even fret around the track without wrecking or jumping off the track. But I was also going at it balls out and I know I have no business doing so at my complete lack of experience. Looking forward now to starting over and just keeping a steady pace in the grip. I’ll try jumps later.
So that’s a beginner lesson I would like to see... how best to line up straight and then body control with the throttle while in the air and being able to land and not nose in or back flip.
So how about simple jump tactics 101.
Great stuff man and I am ANXIOUSLY awaiting your next one!
Great video! Looking forward to more. Who wouldn’t want Ryan at the track helping with driving? Awesome.
For a second i thought your channel was out or something 3 months is a lot between naps man, thanks for the awesome content
Very good teacher and a very good student which accepts and applies the advice! At my local track I try to give the new guys tips to improve the driving of them. Basically I tell them not to give full throttle all the time, cost the corners and don't jump. Sad thing is that after 2 laps they forget and are back to full throttle and trying to jump :( Sometimes this is really frustrating.
Thanks Ryan excellent video !i ll be waiting for the second !!thanks again
Great video! For a beginner, slow is fast. Go Bucs!
It really is hard to stay in the groove or racing lines if you prefer. Getting the corner entrance setup right, hitting the apex etc. Michael Schumacher said something like the smoother you are, the slower it seems like you're going but because you are not wasting energy by leaving the racing line, you maintain your speed better and run faster so it's all about energy management and staying in the lines. The fastest guys look the slowest because the car never gets upset. The points you made reminded me of this. Great stuff.
This is such a great thing to see you doing Ryan.
My observation was she did not steer proportionally, it seemed to be all or nothing.
I dont know if this translates to RC tracks but I did a track day at a racimg circuit and the professional driver had me driving the track without using brakes. What this did was focus you on corner entry, position and speed. The goal of the first day was to get the quickest lap time and not use any brake.
Awesome Idea Ryan! Looking forward to this series!
Fantastic video! I've sent it to all of the beginners I know.
Saw this notification come through and was hyped. I always love watching this type of content!
I love this. Giving back. You are da'MAN
Awesome video! I think a good future topic would be tire selection for a given track and initial setup. A lot of beginners struggle with this, including me. Yea, you can always ask someone but you might not have that option. How do the pro’s do it. Keep doing what you do, you’re a good ambassador to the hobby.👊🏽✌🏽
Really like the idea of this series. Great job
I am not some one who needs lessons but my friend does plus this was a good refresher
Great video and I think a full series of these would be great 👍
Cheers Ryan, been looking for lessons...
One useful thing I believe is learning to use your peripheral vision. One way I’ve found to explain it is like this. You still always want to be looking at your car, but at the same time directing more of your focus on what’s around you. Another thing I think would be good for this is teaching that throttle control, and how to time your corner entry and exit correctly, and being comfortable with it.
Like driving a car in a parking lot before hitting the street, I spent years of putting my Sand Scorcher around before getting into racing with my Scorpion. Just dated myself.
First, I’ve been looking for this exact series and here it is! Really excited about this. What I want to know most right now is, where should I look while driving? Right at the car? Front wheels? How do I “see” the racing line ahead without looking into the next corner? I tend to lose control instantly after looking ahead, whether it’s due to traffic/crash ahead or Marshalls on the track or even while checking out the next corner. Thanks Ryan!!!
Very gooddddd !! I was really searching for something like this! Looking forward for next ep.
great idea !
I would like some information on the jump and may be explain more the racing line.
After it would be interesting to explain how to prepare to race (how many tires we need, how many batteries etc ....)
Awesome idea!👍🏼 I think this is going to be a fun series that I'm sure to watch every episode of.🥳⏭. Greetings from the Netherlands 🇱🇺
We need more of your attitude and attention to help the newest drivers eventually beat the fastest guys!!!!
My shops specialty. Biggest advise to greener driver’s at birthday parties ect...
only turn when in the
corner/hold/releases steering
Apply throttle.
Looking ahead eventually to link corners together.
5mins of practice huge improvements.
keep up the good videos .I'm loving it that you upload that often :D
i'm a nitro basher..when i tried the track it was not easy to complete a full lap without a mistake..this is good advice..thanks!
experience is the key too , some boys are doing fine because they played video games, they ran thier bike much more when they were kid , but to start understanding race paths quickly i would go to a race video game with help on the path and analyse the path, but experience counted in hours is the key , what I tell my kids is , whatever you do you will become good, just keep on practicing. Dont forget that if you do nothing you'll be good at nothing.
Great to see this Ryan, helping the next generation of racers rather than putting them off, especially girls. Good man.
Thank you thank you thank you..I ha e been hoping someone would give tips like this, throttle control, cornering, where are you looking, at your car or the track, when to brake vs letting off the throttle.
Also how to approach hairpin vs a sweeper, how to hold the remote and posture. One.problem i was having was letting go of the wheel after the turn rather than turning the wheel back, same with the trigger
I've been waiting on a video series like this. This has needed to happen for a while I think.
Biggest timesaver is not crashing. She will learn cornering and get faster over time by practicing if she stays interested and motivated.
great advice..this mentality actually won me my first small, beginner/intermediate 3 race 1/8th scale championship..i was nowhere the fastest on any of the 3 tracks..but i just tried to stay on the line and keep it clean. and i won the overall championship by a couple of points even tho i did only podium one race of the whole championship with a second place. and this second place was not because i was fast, just because of nearly no mistakes and clean driving..there were much faster guys, but they could only hang on to that speed for 3laps before they would crash.
totally agree that the way to go is a clean line slow at the beginning. even a national champion told me that if i keep driving that way it´s great, because with clean lines and clean driving speed will come on it´s own after time. but the foundation is right allready...
Good job!
I've looked EVERYWHERE for a "how to race" tutorial, with video, taking you through each section/feature and how to approach it.
I've been racing rc (off and on) since 2007'ish, and have a grand total of 7 podium trophies... not great, but not terrible.
I'd pay good money for a weekend long driving/racing/setup clinic.
Just love your content its very helpfull..i want to ask ive been in touring cars a long time and new to buggies can you maybe do a video explaining 2wd and 4wd and pros and cons for anyone entering buggies for first time and maybe some chassis options
more of these would be so cool, maybe even like a how to land into ramps?
Great video!!! Congrats on super bowl... I’m a cowboys fan. It’s a struggle now. Lol. Good concept for practicing. Many don’t understand the power in consistency and slow rather than fast and crashes.
She did really well. You are an awesome person for the hobby
You have the "the cool young guy who teaches newcomers the hobby/sport" kinda look and that is what happens here. The vid just got recommended to me and as I returned to this hobby these kind of informative videos will be helpful and also enjoyable. Looking forward to more of these, subbed as well.
for the next video I'd like to see a guide to setup adjustments and how to find the sweetspots for different terrains
That actually helped me alot, thanks. You need to do more please
I would like to see more of her taking lessons on RC driving. She is really cute with her expressions and responses.
Great infotainment Ryan - thank you👍
As others have mentioned, a future video to explain how to setup braking so it’s not too harsh etc and working out the braking points - and the next steps when you can keep it on the track but lap times are lacking, would be really helpful. Are there any good training methods away from the track that you recommend, such as VRC? - to help improve skills?
Ryan I hope.you READ this and SRY ITS LONG.You do great content.Alot of your followers are newbs and could really use the how to's. Thats what we search for most. There is sooo much to tuning and shock setup/ bladders,tires,etc with very little info available. Tons of content you could create and the way you detail things plus your production content is second to none in this hobby. your tire gluing vid was perfect. I came from the fpv drone world and there is 1 single guy guy there that influences 100 percent of that community and I feel you could do that or even better for the rc racing community. His name is Joshua Bardwell (the fpv know it all) and also a personal local friend of mine that now makes his living on CZcams. Please look him up to see kinda what type of content I'm talking about. Maybe it's for you,, maybe not.. But I super appreciate your content and will absolutely patron if you do more how to vids. Best wishes man.
Ohh mate i'm loving the amount of vids!! GREAT!
