How to get into RC CAR RACING | Part 1 The Recon mission.

I never raced in the mid 1990's to currently in the 2wd Stadium Truck class being there was never a track to race on near me in Collins, New York. So I made my own off-road track at home 20+ years ago & still use it today to race my Team Losi - XXX-NT, XXX-T, Mini-T, & OFNA - Ultra MBX Buggy.

I am blessed that our local tracks have 4 big brands equally represented by drivers, setups and spare parts. I dont recommend starting off with the most popular class. Even if its just a weekend club race, the effort you put in shouldnt be just for trophies. It should be justified for the effort and cost you put in before and while racing. I seen too many rookies start with brand new equipment, following whats won on Sunday sells on Monday, then drop out from racing as they need more driving skills. Some races you wounder how tney pool all the sports drivers when every lap is a full on crash and you are trying not to break your engines. If I am saying anything at all...just start as a volunteer marshall. And make good friends with the positive racers. Dont get into the brand wars and buy the kit that you deserve

You should find a small class that regularly has enough cars to race most weekends. One of the large classes is 1/8 scale buggy, Grasshopper, you ain't ready. A large class will have so many participants you won't make it out of the B mains. There is nothing more fun that getting bumped out early, I guess you could make a little cash marshalling for people that make the A mains. Won't be long before you are looking for a new hobby. If you have never raced before and have a little money to invest, go with Stock Slash, all you need is a transponder. They aren't real fast, they have limited adjustability so you can't get your set up so wrong you might never fix it. Covered tires mean you can lean on someone and not wreck. Its too easy to flip because you went too much wheel to wheel. If you aren't an experienced wrencher, you don't know enough to buy a used car. You can get a "great deal" on something only to have to buy more parts that you would be better off buying new. I guess you will learn to work on it.

Thanks for the video
