Tackling a New Track A new track is always exciting, but seeing it for the first time can often be overwhelming and intimidating. Most people dont realize just how exciting RC vehicles have becomethe hobby quality RC cars made and raced today have can get up to speeds of 60 mph and feature suspension systems that can be tuned just like a real car. Any vehicle found to be illegal during a pre-race inspection will not be allowed to race in that condition. Often the pre-race tack will be crowded and unorganized, so take care while practicing not to run into others and risk wrecking your or someone elses car before the race even begins.
Running and Racing Your RC
Proper maintenance of your RC vehicle is the key to achieving the best possible results. While the car may still perform while not in its best form, you can be assured that keeping it up will make certain even better results. By keeping your car clean, well-tuned and properly maintained, you can be sure youll get the top performance out of your RC
Before you head out to the track, there are a few suggestions you should follow to make sure everything goes smoothly on race day:
Mark your initials on all your cars parts.
Its frenetic and exciting in the pit, which means in the haste of repair, refueling and racing, it can be very difficult to tell which parts belong to which racer. This difficulty is compounded by the fact that a lot of parts from different makes and models look remarkably similar. Avoid confusion by marking all your cars parts with your initials and take care to keep track of those parts on race day.
Mark your initials on all your tools and equipment.
Use a marker to write your initials on all your tools and equipment to avoid mix ups and losses. Over time youll spend a great deal of time and energy completing the set of tools and gear you need for your carso be careful with your equipment. Marking your name on your tools makes it more likely youll get them back if you lose them, and prevents confusion in the event that several racers are using the same tools.
If you have a nitro RCalways use fresh fuel and bring plenty extra.
Model fuel should not be stored for extended periods of time since the nitro methane it contains can degrade over time if exposed to air or water. Old fuel should be disposed of properly, and you should always race with fresh, clean fuel. Make sure you use a brand you are familiar with in competition: a race is not the place to test a new type of fuel. Youll want to know how much running time the fuel youre using produces and bring plenty extra to re-fill your cars tank.
If you have an electric RCyour batteries are the most important thing on race day.
How your electric car does on race day depends entirely on your battery packs. Be sure to follow your manufacturers instructions on how to properly condition your batteries to extend their life and get maximum performance from them. When youre racing, youll want to have several battery packs so that when one runs out, you dont have to wait to recharge it. You need to know your cars running time per battery pack in advance so you can count on how many battery packs you need to bring, and whether your charger can charge them up quickly enough between races.
Develop a race-day checklist for your cars systems and your tools.
Well-prepared racers go through the same list of checks on their car and all its systems every time they race. Develop this list at home when you prepare your car for race day and include important reminders like securing fuel lines, checking gaskets, testing the glow plug, making sure the gas tank isnt rattling. Test runs will help you know what to look for, and what to double check on the day of the race. Remember to add any equipment you need to fix these day to day problems to your tool box on race day, just in case you need them.
Be respectful of other racers in the pit and on the track.
There is nothing like the roar of an RC racebut excitement and exhilaration are no excuse for poor sportsmanship. Always be respectful of other racers and their equipment. In the event of an accident, remove your car from the track as quickly as possible. If you have complaints or disputes they should be brought to the race officials immediately and all judges decisions should be accepted as final. In the pit be courteous to other racers by keeping track of all your tools and equipment. Labeling your gear and keeping track of all of your belongings while youre racing and marshaling will ensure that there are no problems with other drivers and their equipment. Remember space is limited!
