What three tips would you give to someone thinking of entering an R/C race for the first time?

check wheel nuts, its embarrassing when wheels fly off left right and centre


Extra tires -tune suspension -pitman


1. remember you are there to have fun 2. relax and make very few mistakes 3. do not yell at the turn marshals-- it is not their fault you flipped on your lid


Stay focused. Last thing you need is to crash. Drive at reasonable speeds until you learn the track and become experienced at racing. Every time you race, give your car SOME more power. For more professional turners, on turns, if everyone is cramped on the inner-part of the turn, go through the middle. You can pass a bunch of people :) ALWAYS make sure your car is ready, meaning batteries, wheels ( wow I learned hard) and tires. You don't need you car to die out, in 1st place, right before finish line. You don't need your tires falling off either.


1. Get out there and practice. 2. Practice some more. 3. Don't pay no fools no mind!


1/ Listen to what the other racers at the track have to say, they won't see you as a threat, they will want you to have fun.

2/ Have fun and 3/ Buy a Tc4 I did and I'm happy


Double check your car. make sure all connections and screws are tight. check for missing e clips. Repeak your batteries before your race, This not only brings them back to top voltage, but also eliminates finding out after the race has started that your battery fails peaked and you're not going to have enough battery to finish the race. Don't try to be the fastest guy on the track. The most important thing is not to crash. Every time you crash you add time to your lap. If you can finish a race with out crashing even once, you're going to finish at the top of the field. Eventually you will figure out just how fast you can go in each section of the track without crashing. When you do that you will start winning races.


1. Always have fun 2. get something that wont break easy so you can have fun 3.always Be safe


1 keep to the inside corners 2 easy on the gas 3 set the shocks low


At the age of 6 I started racing RC cars and now I am 19 and still having fun with them. My main tip is to just have fun. Now my little brother wants to get into it and that's when I told him about the 3 S's: Smooth, speed, and then a little more speed. Good luck!!!!!


Have fun driving your car, don't give up if you don't do well for the first few months, and most importantly enjoy yourself!


Start from the back of the grid and take off slowly, the first corner is where the crash will happen. Concentrate on getting around the track without crashing, if that means being the slowest car there, don't worry, you will get faster each week. Have fun, don't stress and ask for help if you need it.
