For anyone wondering the importance of droop, it not only affects how your car lands, but it plays a huge role in weight transfer on and off power, which can dramatically affect grip and rotation. It can also play a big role in the bumps.
Droop and ride height are two of the most overlooked settings by outdoor offroad racers, considering how drastically they affect the car.
learned more from this comment that the 17 min of useless info in this video.
The easiest way to get tow is to have 2 flat hard metal plates and bolt onto the tires and measure the back and the front. It doesn't get any more accurate than that.
But that system you have is Awesome to.
I love my Hudy set up station. I have had it for around 10 years now.
I know you can do this without a setup station, but man having one makes your life soooo much easier. Never giving up mine.
I like the darker blue also.
Mark, I’ve been watching your videos for years. This is the best one yet. Or at least my favorite. The technical part of the hobby is my favorite part.
The darker blue makes the other colors pop more I think!
That was helpful. I like the colour but the baby blue is awesome 😎
It’s watching vids like this that reminds me that even after six months of obsessing over RCs, I’m still a total noob. Didn’t know front suspension should be “flat” and slightly lower than the rear.
And didn’t actually appreciate that winding the shocks tighter increases ground clearance. Totally obvious really. Big Rock now set up so much better on Typhon 6S shocks…..assuming everything you’ve shown applies to an MT.
Sick paint job! I raced my ET48 2.0 for the first time this weekend, and man is it good! First time ever driving a truggy and beat my personal fastest lap by almost a second. Its so smooth and turns so well! Now to make my EB48 2.0 even better...
Just built my first kit! I've been racing for 3 years but always 2nd hand cars. Building a new kit I have learned so much about setup, and having my old car, I was able to compare how everything was setup, and I will definitely have a better car now, when I throw it down on the track! Great vid!👍
Great vid Mark. I personally like the darker blue looks 🔥on the new ET 👏👍
I'm saving this video to refer to in the future. Thanks Mark.
That is a cool kit! Its from Hudy..so I'm sure it's pricey.
Looks sick the darker blue makes it pop more
Like the new body looks like an old truck and I like the darker blue on new body
They both look awesome I think
Truck looks great. I prefer the dark blue. Thanks for going over your setup procedure. I’ve always adjusted toe by eye. The Hudy setup station looks much more precise.
The darker blue looks great.
Great video! These how to videos are great for someone like my son and me who are just getting into this. Thanks for all your content!
Up front, the dark blue gives it a contrasting deep 3D look. You need to keep it just the way it is. He did an awesome job on it. It will grow on you as people tell you just how awesome it looks. The more I'm looking at this, the more it pops with that deeper blue color,
i like the dark blue and the black checkers but this is your vehicle and it should be the way you want it.
I like the darker blue better myself.
Personally I like the darker blue. But you paid for, get it the way you want it
That looks nice .....the blue is awesome I would keep it looking like that ....
Excellent video! Should get you in the ballpark but with a race vehicle people really need to understand how changing those settings will affect performance! Also, think it would be great if you did a video with more basic setup tools for beginners 👍
Both are sweet but that darker blue looks awesome
Baby blue looks better, but the darker blue still looks nice. Race the darker body and get a fresh body painted for display/back up.
Hi mark that looks great. I will follow this vid to set up my et48. 🤘🇬🇧
Would look cool with a gravedigger esque paint scheme.
Run it!!! It looks good !
I love the dark blue
I've put on new arms that didn't fit and put the originals back on.
Then immediately switch them back out with the new arms and everything fit and work right.
Because I'm a willful little RC Veteran.
I like a combo of both. The new would look best with the dark blue and the black checker flag
Great vid mark man a lot go’s in to racing but dang had no clue the extent of it this might even help bashers right
I like that gauge system
Great vlog mark.
I lie the baby blue more but also love the darker
Thanks for the video Mark! Very informative video!
Getting my e-buggy kit next week so this is a good one to get into it. Love the vlogs and the variety of the content keep it up!!
Small update... when I was picking up my rc kit today and was walking around in one of the biggest rc shops we have here in our country I got this feeling... all fuzzy and tingly (lol) and I thought "hey this is something Mark gets to experience on the regular" I would not be mad haha. I heard this today: it's not what you got, but what you do with what you have. Please say hello to the Family and please enjoy life.
I love you MSM, but I gotta say, I hate to know bodies.
That being said, great video man!
Keep em coming!
Wish you would have did a demonstration without the Hudy set up rig
Man I know this is an old video. But watching these really make me want to get into buggy racing.
Great video....I like the new blue. I always start with the box setup....everyone's driving style is different....even if I get a used car....go to box stock setup...and go from there....have fun and be safe😎👍
You get what you get and you don't through a fit is how I was raised haha that's still a bad ass paint Job.
Yessss mine arrived today :)) building it
Sweet! Nice job MSM I enjoy watching your channel just got back into the hobby at Christmas and there’s a lot to learn.
so useful thanks
Yeah, I gotta say I do like the baby blue more
Did you use the droop blocks when you set toe & camber, like the manual instructs?
love the paint job, looks good from my house... Keep the videos coming.
Great video bud , very educational and informative
Mark! This car looks awesome bro!!
Use a camber gauge to check toe, put the front tires against flat surface with the radio on.
Iv tried that for about an hour or more it doesint work I ended up buying a setup station out of frustration and everything was way off when I put it on the station.
It'd be a good tech Tuesday... it's Monday. Hahaha
I would recommend orange or red front springs...trust me!!!
I put the orange springs right after i drove it for the first time... hahaha
Both these rc s are stunning. Cool video
Mark, you thinh exactly like me. BIG BUGGY!
to me that's exactly what's wrong!! its supposed to be a truggy ...... I thought?
Looks awesome!!!
You should build a backslash and race one
The background picture on the fridge
Hi Mark. Mine name is Tony, i'm from Belgium. I have also the Hudy setup station but for offroad 1/10. I noticed when i set mine camber -2° on the setup station and afterward i measure it again with a camber tool than i have -0°. It means that i need to go to - 4° on the setup station to have a - 2° with tires and measure it with a camber tool (gauge) to be correct.
Thanks man, awesome tips. Body is sick
Can you do a video what you do to prepare for a race? Also a video what settings you use on your ESCs and controller that helps you go faster around the track. Ty
Great video so much good information. Still waiting on mine to come in to the LHS. The body is awesome pops because of the light grey. The baby blue pops because of the dark grey/black patterns. If you don’t want it I will gladly show it off here on the east coast. Besides your fault I am getting the Truggy in the first place. 😂
Why the toe out in the front? I thought it was generally good to have slight toe in front and back?
New Truggy new paint ! Looks fricken Awesome Mark !! Personally I like better than your old paint! ;)
Any word if they’re going to bring out an ET48 2.1 this year to coincide with the EB48 2.1
Looks awesome Mark
Very good rc 😏💯
Mark what Hudy to plate do you use for the Tekno buggies? Since the tower hits it.
I'm not hating I just want one to paint like the " pink pig " paint scheme or " bubba Gump " shrimp boat!!
Great video and tips
Really awesome video man, loved it! Side note, it would help me a lot if you did this same thing for 1/10 on road, I have a nitro HPI that I'm struggling to set up nicely the way you just set this Tekno up, I feel your tips would be very helpful in that department! Anyways great job as always, take care man!
Awesome video Mark keep up the good work!, After I get my e Revo completely dialed in I want to get into racing I am thinking TLR 8 or tekno, both look legit.
Mark im a drone pilot lol have a bunch but I want to get my first Traxxas what do u think of a slash it’s just to play around then get my son one how is the mike Jenkins ?? Can u help me out ?
Oke i'm here mark
Cool video! Do more videos with the new Vorteks!
Will this work for the tekno sct 410.3 and eb410.2?
On camera the darker blue looks better to me than the lighter baby blue
Set your car up like I set my Honda Civic EG up🤣higher in the back
That blue isn't super dark. But definitely not baby blue. Minor. If it bugs you though definitely fix it. Cause even though you pack it away in your mind your not fully in the moment. Thing is if you don't fix it immediately your just wasting time brother. Something my wife told me about successful people, wondering now if I gotta get stuff done lol. Giter' done. And done!!!
Turning the callors on the shocks to lowering the vehicle like this increases spring rate. With those rates changed you may need to change the shock oil weight.
How do you make the shocks stiffer ?
I personally don't want the car to slam hard.
So how can I fix that to my liking ?
Love your videos Brother !!
I'm in NC. Not much RC around here like it was back in the 90's when RC was booming everywhere.
That's piston hole size numbers, and if wedge pistons changes rebound rate, How fast moves up through the shocks
How many hours to build one for the first time?
what is up what is up!
What’s the part number for the Truggy toe plate from Hudy. I have the old one tht doesn’t work with Tekno due to the shock towers
HUD108841
Ty
Are you running equal shock shaft tension on o ring stack tension on all 4 shocks? Your shock shafts should slide with under 15grams of force to be pro built based on logics , physics, and accuracy.
I need this, but don`t want to spend that much money on it. Think Im going to 3D print one.
Also what’s is the part number for the wheel nut
TKR5116BR
Now jiggle all the linkages, get the play, and check it all again.
Most likely it's going to be at different values.
I want that set up station
As a Carolina fan, dook blue never works....Send it back!!!!
First love your vids
Are you going to be at lcrc
Yep different, never liked the truggy or stadium body designs fugly, that body looks like an old boat that I remember seeing slowly falling apart and sinking into the sludge and was quite glad when it finally was no more.
Why the double bed style ugh and square front windows and as aerodynamic as a breeze block.
The cab forward were better when they first came out not that I liked it then just like the buggies.
I remember reading about a guy that had just got involved in the RC hobby, he went to several different meeting's to decide what he wanted to race his question at each meeting was the same what are those things they are racing this applied to 1/8th nitro buggy and truggy, 1/10th off road carpet and dirt buggies and Stadium trucks, he then went to watch on-road and he could not make out what they were driving it did not look like any touring car he watched on a saturday world of sport lol the only vehicle he vaguely recognised was the Associated RC10 it sort of look like the very early Baja trucks.
He left totally disheartened never to take up any form of on or off road racing, he raced boats for a little while but again they were getting stranger to look at. Now he would be happy as the scale crawling, rock bouncers etc he took up 5th and quarter scale nitro and electric GP motorcycles and is one of the best out there, it only took his fancy because they looked like the real 1-1 motorcycles out there lol.
Nice video!
How can you set ride height without wheels on it
You can’t you have to have some sort of tires on it and some tires can change your ride height also.
I want one et48 2.0
It looks good to me ,why complain? As long as you have a body that's painted
