This was an amazing video all the tuning for shocks I've seen say too limit the inside. I've tried that and it totally messed everything up as of tomorrow they are all coming out. Thanks for all the great info.

Thanks guys is been a year since the video got posted and is still helping people to get an idea on what to look for to help to run better like me. I just got into drag racing and you have answer all the questions I needed to help me go straight. Thanks for taking the time and help the little people getting in the hobby

Love seeing a channel from the area I grew up in. Grew up In Vallejo. Keep up the great work.

great videos! they have been extremely helpful while i build my bandit/slash drag car. ive been into mostly the crawler scene for the last 14 years and getting pretty board with it but the drag car scene is getting me excited to get back into running my rc cars again. cant wait to finish my build.

You guys rock. Every video I learn so much and you answer questions to alot of my issues as a beginner. Thx Dan, Ricky and randy

Thanks for the videos man. Love seeing guys help other competitors in their sport

New to this hobby just picked up a used Slash drag car. Thanks for all the good information.

What's up I've just built this 1/8scale with castle,built trans.lmf slipper,and some cool17mm sweeps on a rustler ch. mainly just for speed runs 6cell just trying to get this thing to stick now ,thanks for all ure tips good stuff man

Love to see somebody helping the new guy

Awesome video man some great tips thanks for sharing i'm waiting on my DR10 kit to come in & start building great stuff happy bashing bro.

Love all your videos you do a great job and I learn alot from you .. thanks for what you do

Great video, GREAT info...except regarding one point - limiters inside the shocks. Yes, some people use that for lowering a vehicle...but, that's not the only reason. I'm just getting started in NPRC, but I've got several race, off-road, & crawling vehicle, and it's something that I've done to all of them...but NOT to lower the vehicles. When the shock first starts to compress, if there's no oil between the bottom of the piston & shock body, you end up with a slight "suction". It's not a huge amount, but it does cause a slight delay in the shock's ability to compress. By placing a very thin spacer (typically 0.5-1mm), this allows the shock to always have oil under the piston, eliminating that "suction", thus eliminating the delay before compression begins. For my 1/10 off-road race vehicles, I use a 1mm spacer. For my 1/8 buggy, I've got 1.5mm in front, and 2mm in the rear. For my USGT car, I'm using 0.5mm at all four corners. I realize that this does lower three vehicles slightly...which is partly why I keep the thickness of the spacers to a minimum...but, again, the primary purpose is to keep a little oil under the piston. Of course, with no-prep, the rear is never fully extended, so I see no need for spacers in the rear. As for the front, that slight suction & delay could actually be a good thing...I might put 0.5mm spacers in the front, and I might not.

John Force impression was spot on!

Thinks for the tips, made a world of a difference.

Man Awesome video!!& so helpful !! Thanks for the suspension tips 😎

Triple x rc garage sent me I subscribed the FORCE is strong in this group wise stuff to put in to R&D thanks to both channels

Jace Strate team slippery slope over here. Since I commented I picked up the M41 Catamaran, Axial SCX24 (for my son he’s 4) and the LaTrax prerunner for him as well. Then got Rustler 4x4 VXL and just last week the Slash 4X4 Ultimate. Yes, I have serious issues 😂😂 kzread.info/dash/bejne/n2iJ2Lawntunc9I.html I started a channel for my son and me. Will be adding more as I get more footage.

Interesting.....subbed.

Good tips. I just got done hacking up my old rc10b4, had to extend about 25mm and had to cut and the rear arms and adapt them as well as shortening the drive shafts, cutting and rethreading all the turn buckles. Would have been easier to just modify an old traxxas slash but the rc10 was one a race rig with all carbon and ti bits so I thought I'd start there. Has been a fun build but I will end up doing the slash as well since the plastics are easier to modify with the higher nylon content. Stiff shock towers arena good place to start as well when starting the shock tune. Flexible shock tower = suck. Ha spoke to soon, you just got to the shock towers. I laughed my ass off when I decided to take a pass in the rain and the thing was like a bolt out of a crossbow. I'm sure it will suck in the dry for irony's sake. Ha.

Awesome info and happy to see the 707 represent. Originally from Napa and looking forward to getting into this genre of RC.

Awesome & very informative videos. I have the new Drag slash, only thing I did was change to proline nova body, want to save stock. Ran a few time & went straight as hell, just installed there drag pinion in and OMG it rips. It also started pulling to the right, I noticed the front right shock drops faster than the left. If I lift front the right drops faster than left. Any suggestion? Should i check oil levels from factory?

I’m on the east coast you on the west coast gummies all the secrets lol I promise I won’t race you well have a east coast west coast exchange of ideas meaning I’m new I need you teachings lol no man love the videos and I’m learning so much DR10 is my first on road electric raid car what day do I catch y’all live bro thanks again keep the content comming 707 to the 313

Hi guys great video. I’m new to drag racing but I been racing buggy’s for years what car should I get into. The team associated DR10 rtr or the losi or traxxas car thanks

Man you helped me big time. Im a rock crawler and basher. In my area we are just getting in to drag racing. Its something that im very seriously wanting to do. The traxxas slash is the one sct tnat im very familiar with. Infact its the very chassis im going to start with. This video was the video i needed. Ps my wraith will kick your wraith's ass. Lol thank you for tnis video.

What trans do you recommend since proline is showing that trans discontinued?

Bro where did you get the speed McQueen body on the wall cool

So quick question, I’m brand stinking new. First surface vehicle for me. However, just curious as too how to go about modding a vehicle. I just picked up a DR10 and I’m sitting here thinking, should I do chassis upgrades first or power system first?

It would be helpful if you posted links to some of the parts you discuss.

What esc do you recommend for the guy that is ready to go on up and upgrade

You guys do the fuel tubing on front shocks only or all four??

I have a question, would you agree to make the rear shocks on the rc car straight up and down like coil overs on a real drag car ?

Hey I watched your video for new guys to novprep suspension set up and I and a 50 year old who's getting back into rc love sleep so no prep all day I'm in the process of buying the losi 22s 69 cameron and the Dr10 one for the track and one for the street you have a guys have a ton of info I'm from Chicago hose do I get up with u guys I need some speed keep it upi want more people in my area to start rc no prep

I have been very surprised to not find a lot on diff fluid weight. Longer travel shocks slow the bite time and allow a smoother transition of power. To stiff and the power transfer is too quick and you will spin and lose traction.

How you feel about bead locks on rear?

How long should you make the tube in shocks

do you run bandit a arms or slash a arms in the rear ?

Is there a reason you don’t run front shocks all around on the LCG Chassis and only on the carbon/g10 chassis?

What do you use for grip on tires

Any guys out in the 707 running the TLR 4.0 / 5.0 buggy with the 22 Vader chassis with any success? Hearing good things with this setup and running mid motor.

Great Info man just wish ya'l could of done better than a 90s flip phone when recording it lol

Do you keep the toe in the rear?

I know you touched on shocks but I didn't hear what pistons you're using in the shocks. Thanks

Can you use a traxxas 4x4 for a drag car

What makes the left tire offload?

So add preload to the opposite side that the car pulls? That still legit. I've seen too many videos stating the opposite. If you can clarify, i would appreciate it.

How many channels do I need for a radio?

How you how long to cut the fuel tube

How can you tell when your clutch is just right

Shock pistons?

Hi my car drives Levt what can i do....

Hey man I love to see this stuff I’m a huge fan of full scale drag racing and trust me man I love the RC stuff too, ain’t no hater in me man, all I’m gonna say is how the fuck can you call any of them “Doorslammer cars”? Lhh. I’m just saying , great video on the tuning basics it’s all good and all It just threw me off when you made the”doorslammer” category lol

What is the difference between the Traxxas Bandit and Traxxas Slash for build on a no prep drag car? To me in the bandit there is less parts to buy. Im confused

If you start with a bandit, you just get body mounts and a sct length lcg chassis. Aftermarket or Traxxas. You keep very little slash parts if you start with one

Great video your extremely knowledgable get a better camera and you could be the biggest name on you tube when it comes to no prep I've watched a thousand videos on it by far you know your shit better than anyone else I phone 8 would be a good enough camera.

Cam I buy one of those mustang bodies when u guys upgrade to something new

Apparently you guys are Traxxas guys but can one build a Redcat Volcano EXP into a legal drag car? Tennessee here

Someone else told me to take the spacers out of the shock and let the shock act normal

2019 #1 405 rc street outlaw car top ten list car was a mid motor associated. With a shoebox body.. lol

J

What that ug thing lol

Guess what, Hobby Wing is a Chinese company.

How do you feel about bead locks on rear?
