TSR Speed Shop RC podcast ”Hey Tim”

TSR podcast Episode  “Two Dudes in an RC world” Hosts: Tim Smith and Colin Branch  Show introduction and welcome.  Tim Notes: New air wheels from Fivestar Frank Greer tire stuff, what in the holy hell is this magic in a bottle? Beef tubes tires break in bit. Yup you need one. Az is creeping closer NPRC grows a little, see how that works. New springs and I am in love  News items  11/20 fall nationals, and a next day Maclan test day.  RC Tip Of the Week (brought to you by Colin) Main Topic:   In my experience start with one of the preloaded tunes. Believe it or not Colin Branch and I made hundreds of hits trying to find a solid STARTING point to build from.  I am also a fan for first time hits to remove all turbo to keep things less complicated.    After that you have a few ways to go. You can begin increasing the first stage until you are spinning too hard on the hit or wheeling excessively.  Next I would begin shortening my stage delays in small amounts watching the data log and video for wheel spin.  Once I have tightened up my stages and got my first stage as high as feels solid for the car on the launch I will add the turbo.  For turbo I start with it at 100 percent throttle position and .1-.2 delay giving my battery pack a tiny bit more time to recover voltage before I start pouring in turbo timing. I use all 60 degrees and control it’s input from the slew. Start out with a very low slew like 2-4 and increase it every run as the data and mph allow. From there you can begin bringing the turbo in sooner, maybe go from starting the turbo at 100 to starting it at 90  Data from the logger, a GNSS and video are the tools for all these adjustments and if I was to give you a general rule for tuning it would be    1. Make small single adjustments 2. Make 60 foot hits the majority of your runs when testing.  3. Make 2-3 hits on an adjustment before determining if it helped or not.  4. When making adjustments and things like et or mph are increasing like you want the second they don’t you have hit the wall it’s best to back it off a tiny bit and you’ll have a solid car.    Featured Item of the week MKS HBL575SL brushless motor, 233 oz stall torque .0008ms DB 149.99 Thank you to MaxAmps, MKS Servo, Maclan racing, Graupner USA, CowRC, All you awesome fans, We love you all!

TSR Speed Shop RC podcast "Racers Gonna Do What Racers Do"

TSR podcast Episode 144 “Big Chief and his RC life” Hosts: Tim Smith and Colin Branch  Show introduction and welcome.  Tim Notes: Nearly a second round of the Jalapeno story. I need VooDoo tires lol Listener questions Allen Ruble About what final drive ratio do you shoot for on a 2t to 4.5t motors?? Also the rpm of the motor? (team associated base car) Rusty Brooks My question is for all three of you to discuss. Can you talk about what you do to prep a Reaction tire before mounting? Also after mounting is there anything else that you do before you say they’re ready to use? Nat Hyde Do you know of a reliable motor or chassis dyno to test under load conditions? Wouldn't that be better than using the SkyRC motor analyzer? Sean Genung Thank you for the opportunity to ask questions. Mine is with shocks. Specifically when building shocks do you want a dead shock like in oval racing with say a bladder on top like the 57 design setup or bleed them with some recoil? Thank you for your time and your knowledge. Stephen A Nicholson Jr. I know shortages on things have put a damper on some things but are y'all gonna eventually make a ESC that will handle more amps ? And yes I understand the one we have now is fine lol but who doesn't like more power Erik Denk Question for you guys...Why is Team AZ making so many rounds at the races they attend? What’s the advantage they have. Corey Lively When finding your gearing and developing your tune for your car, which comes first the gear or the tune? Does your tune change with gear or vice versa and if so, how? Robert Diamond Parity in racing and between battery types such as the brick versus a standard 2cell Jeramy Joseph Olson Hey it’s OKO, What do you guys think about having NPRC races that mimic street racing more, I really want to do a flashlight or arm drop NPRC that includes “a Chase is a Race!” Thanks for coming on the show Big Chief I still want to race your sons sometime if possible? Goooo Maclan OKO Randy Krol For my serious question. Chief, where would you rank showing up to the us nats with a regular old trailer and a Pontiac powered promod car and making the show on your list of achievements? Anthony Manti This one from a couple weeks ago was mentioned, but not gotten to yet. I’m sure ya will eventually….but motor tuning and everything about it Charles Levac Hey Tim and Colin I'm finally getting my car running nice and straight. But I keep wrecking on shut down. I'm running 60% brakes and 20% drag brakes. If I lower my max brakes I run out of shut down room. Is there something suspension wise that I could do to help stop the spin out on the shutdown Thanks for the great show. Chris Singsime Has he got any of the other 405 guys into no prep rc? And did he ever fix the bullet holes in the meth shack? Seems like a good Tuesday job....listener #43 Main Topic: Listener questions for Chief Steve Raymond Was the throttle punch a little secret you guys were keeping? When Justin Shearer commented and said I don't run over 10%. I don't know how true it is that he runs it that low, but I thought it would have been a dog. Boy, was I wrong. Thanks to you guys for sharing the info you do love the podcast and thanks Justin Shearer my car is actually some what fast now lol. Nick Bodden What do you look for in your slow mo videos after a pass? Biggie Paul So ive seen your videos of test hits after test hits. Your car looks straight and fast. So my questions are...What do you do to improve your reaction time and Whats your routine to get faster mentally and physically? Sean South Will Big Chief ever race in a Big Event. I know a big event will be close to him in September 😬 Rick Schaper I do have a question for Justin. How was it driving JJ cars, and how did Jackie like zip tie? sorry if I spelled her name wrong. Thanks for what you guys do for the hobby. Cameron Jarrell Since we have the man himself in the house, can we PLEEAASSEE get a little peak into this 66 foot knowledge that Tim keeps hinting at? 🤷🏻‍♂️😅😜 Thanks so much for what you do man, and Colin thanks for stepping up to the plate for the show. Your knowledge definitely plays a huge part. No offense Tim Willie Trent Which tuning do you prefer…radio or esc? Lower turn motor (2.0-2.5)with less timing or higher wind (3.0-3.5)with more timing? Joe Blethen Chief … ever been back to Cracker Barrel in Alabama to visit the ginger ?😆😬 Yeti B. I was very curious when you asked for lenths of rear arms for the b6 platform. Can you let us in on what you found in the end? Chris Gilliland Care to elaborate on the new method of suspension tuning you guys have been working on? Great stuff! Keep up the good work Darwin Bohnke From racing 1:1 and 1/10, what has been the biggest difference/hurdle you have had to deal with? Andrew Burghgraef Have any of you guys played with diff height? I'd think getting it as low as possible would help drive the tire into the ground like a radial car. And Tim, will we see you check out the Battlebots filming in Vegas later this month? Kerry Adams Just want to say hey chief and Colin ( my phone spelled it wrong last week) and hey Tim. The drawing of punch and how it effect the stages was very helpful. Chris Trudeau How has the transition from "oh that's a cute toy" into "man these RCdrag cars are just as technical" going for you? What has been the biggest surprise for you making the transition to scale-down drag racing? What's been most rewarding? and the most challenging? Rusty Brooks My question is for all three of you to discuss. Can you talk about what you do to prep a Reaction tire before mounting? Also after mounting is there anything else that you do before you say they’re ready to use? Bryan M Tilson We see you traveling around doing RC racing now, what about RC drag racing has you the most intrigued right now?There can’t be the same amount of adrenaline there is driving the real crowmod and 1/10th crow mod!

TSR podcast Episode 143 “The Question Show” Hosts: Tim Smith and Colin Branch  Show introduction and welcome.  Old Show Questions Tim Notes: Big Chief coming back in for another go. News items  RC Tip Of the Week (brought to you by Colin Branch) Main Topic: Kerry Adams Hey Tim and Collin. What is your I depth thoughts on the wide reactions? Best way to run them ? Rob Wallace Hey guys, love the podcast. My question is, do you prepare for big national travel events the same way you prepare for the smaller local races? Any different approach to the week/days before the race? Rick Schaper Have you made any good passes on the wide reactions? Rick Schaper How low do you run your chassis? Is it same height front to rear? Nathan Phillips Are you both going to the Topeka and Wisconsin races? Lucas Harman Thoughts on the voodoo craze, are they really better? Also, thoughts on the new 11” wheelbase pinto from ProLine and possibilities of a new class? Maybe a no bar “radial” 11” class using Primes? Rick Schaper How much coffee do you drink in a day?😂 Tuan Nguyen Will we see some of the old MaxPro160 settings available for DRK. We were able to set boost rpm, pmw, turbo rpm and other fine adjustments that were very useful. Gabe Honodel On the maclan wireless can it stay hooked up or do I need to unplug it before each run I’m getting ready to try out the drk and want to make sure I don’t miss anything Chip Puccio On the drk, what would you adjust for a slight turning up and turning down tune. Stage%, stage time? Turbo timing? Slew rate throttle punch? Corey Lively The punch setting on the drk, what exactly does it effect?ive heard that it softens shifts only between stages to it doing that while globally softening the car. What’s a clear definition of what this feature does? Lay Low Just curious.. Have you ever ran the Proline Primes? how do they stack up against some of the others? JC Myers Are you guys planning to attend any outlaw races in the NW? Thanks Jeramy Joseph Olson Hey it’s OKO! I saw Colin yesterday at NCT and with all the action and excitement I forgot to ask him what plans the two of you have for breaking a world record? I say this because I think It’s time to remind people that Tim Smith has world records and can still beat world records. I think too many people have forgotten what Tim is capable of, and now with Colin Branch and Maclan, it’s time. I plan to break a world record someday, it’s my destiny. Until then I want to volunteer as support staff during your next world record breaking event so I can gain some additional experience for my event. Thank you so much for continuing to do the show with Colin. Go Maclan OKO Jarad Henderson What suspension changes do you make for a low traction dirty surface vs a good concrete surface? Rick Hait How bout a 1/4 scale update!!!! Crystal Conry What one thing you think we all could do to make this hobby more enjoyable John Masterbray What would you recommend for weight for a dr10 with a Rx8 and a 3.5t on asphalt. Jason Bragg Thoughts on the arrow car? Knowing you switched our pretty quick. Will you ever re visit the platform? Kidd Sims One word “pinto” Allen Ruble On Mark Vyne live video over the weekend. Seen you was in his pits talking about voodoo air filled tires. But they shut off the video. Was wondering if you could share anything…. Lol 😂 Jon Mobley Hey Tim and Colin so what are your thoughts on the drk esc on a so called top fuel dragster David Adams 1. What do you think of a short wheel based no wheelie bar car? Everything else open to replace the 13.5T class. Like a 2wd buggy. (Pinto body maybe more to come?) 2. Why do I hear so much talk about rolling back the tire prep? Last summer I had people asking if I would care if they were using warmers and sauce. My take is you have to if others are. Now same people are talking about no warmers and sticky prep. Changing rules may bring more people (I don’t think it will) but the cat is out of the bag and the base will be resistant at this point. What do you think? Chris Trudeau Was it strange for Colin to make Left and Right turns and jumping stuff, vs going in a straight line this last weekend? Mark Vyne Tom had the VP and Breakout chassis haulin in Colorado. Some of the fastest builds of these two chassis. Your thoughts on the differences of two chassis and what you’ve learned from both. Gabe Honodel Tim and Colin will there be plans to break the speed record now that the technology has caught up a little. It would be cool to see Tim get the rail out again Anthony Manti I believe last weeks description said motor tuning would be discussed. I could have missed it, but I don’t think you guys got around to it. Anthony Manti Dumb question. How do I listen live? I only ever seem to get the cast after it’s been aired about a day later. I’m using the built in Podcast app for apple and I believe I tried Podbean as well. Allen Ruble Tim Smith Colin Branch Will there ever be drk 1/8 scale esc that will handle a 2.0t motor?? Chris Gilliland Care to elaborate on the new method of suspension tuning you guys have been working? Biggie Paul How come u guys dont go live? You're very entertaining. So what if u have to wear pants....🤣🤣🤣. Have a great show. Tim Barth any advice for Growing a Dialed Beard like you and Colin have. Mine wont be as grey. but i need some tips! Shane Rennoe Tim what tire prep were you using at the San Diego race Wade Madfishdesigns Labofish What was the weight on your speed run car that went 167? Taylor DeLosa What is your process and opinions, when testing the car; what all are you looking at? Not just the generic it spun, went left/right, etc. Are you chalking the wheelie bars to see where they touched down, marking tires to see how even they wear from alignment, etc. Then once you’ve gathered said data, what are you doing to correct these things. Thank you Collin for adding to this podcast also, it’s great to hear your feedback as well. Kevin Kenney I know I'm not the same 1 or 2 guys that get questions answered every week so here goes. Can you explain more on the punch setting? Is it better to set up your stages and just lessen punch to get better traction when the surface can handle it? We have 5 guys running DRK160 and we are funding success all over the ramp on punch. I don't need secrets just hoping Colin can explain its effect throughout the powerband. Also if you "finger" the throttle is it starting the stages over? James Gallatin When are you getting your kart? Featured Item of the week MaxAmps MaxBox, 29.99 custom wrapped.

Corey Lively The punch setting on the drk, what exactly does it effect?ive heard that it softens shifts only between stages to it doing that while globally softening the car. What’s a clear definition of what this feature does? Lay Low Just curious.. Have you ever ran the Proline Primes? how do they stack up against some of the others? JC Myers Are you guys planning to attend any outlaw races in the NW? Thanks Jeramy Joseph Olson Hey it’s OKO! I saw Colin yesterday at NCT and with all the action and excitement I forgot to ask him what plans the two of you have for breaking a world record? I say this because I think It’s time to remind people that Tim Smith has world records and can still beat world records. I think too many people have forgotten what Tim is capable of, and now with Colin Branch and Maclan, it’s time. I plan to break a world record someday, it’s my destiny. Until then I want to volunteer as support staff during your next world record breaking event so I can gain some additional experience for my event. Thank you so much for continuing to do the show with Colin. Go Maclan OKO Jarad Henderson What suspension changes do you make for a low traction dirty surface vs a good concrete surface? Rick Hait How bout a 1/4 scale update!!!! Crystal Conry What one thing you think we all could do to make this hobby more enjoyable John Masterbray What would you recommend for weight for a dr10 with a Rx8 and a 3.5t on asphalt. Jason Bragg Thoughts on the arrow car? Knowing you switched our pretty quick. Will you ever re visit the platform? Kidd Sims One word “pinto” Allen Ruble On Mark Vyne live video over the weekend. Seen you was in his pits talking about voodoo air filled tires. But they shut off the video. Was wondering if you could share anything…. Lol 😂 Jon Mobley Hey Tim and Colin so what are your thoughts on the drk esc on a so called top fuel dragster David Adams 1. What do you think of a short wheel based no wheelie bar car? Everything else open to replace the 13.5T class. Like a 2wd buggy. (Pinto body maybe more to come?) 2. Why do I hear so much talk about rolling back the tire prep? Last summer I had people asking if I would care if they were using warmers and sauce. My take is you have to if others are. Now same people are talking about no warmers and sticky prep. Changing rules may bring more people (I don’t think it will) but the cat is out of the bag and the base will be resistant at this point. What do you think? Chris Trudeau Was it strange for Colin to make Left and Right turns and jumping stuff, vs going in a straight line this last weekend? Mark Vyne Tom had the VP and Breakout chassis haulin in Colorado. Some of the fastest builds of these two chassis. Your thoughts on the differences of two chassis and what you’ve learned from both. Gabe Honodel Tim and Colin will there be plans to break the speed record now that the technology has caught up a little. It would be cool to see Tim get the rail out again Anthony Manti I believe last weeks description said motor tuning would be discussed. I could have missed it, but I don’t think you guys got around to it. Anthony Manti Dumb question. How do I listen live? I only ever seem to get the cast after it’s been aired about a day later. I’m using the built in Podcast app for apple and I believe I tried Podbean as well. Allen Ruble Tim Smith Colin Branch Will there ever be drk 1/8 scale esc that will handle a 2.0t motor?? Chris Gilliland Care to elaborate on the new method of suspension tuning you guys have been working? Biggie Paul How come u guys dont go live? You're very entertaining. So what if u have to wear pants....🤣🤣🤣. Have a great show. Tim Barth any advice for Growing a Dialed Beard like you and Colin have. Mine wont be as grey. but i need some tips! Shane Rennoe Tim what tire prep were you using at the San Diego race Wade Madfishdesigns Labofish What was the weight on your speed run car that went 167? Taylor DeLosa What is your process and opinions, when testing the car; what all are you looking at? Not just the generic it spun, went left/right, etc. Are you chalking the wheelie bars to see where they touched down, marking tires to see how even they wear from alignment, etc. Then once you’ve gathered said data, what are you doing to correct these things. Thank you Collin for adding to this podcast also, it’s great to hear your feedback as well. Kevin Kenney I know I'm not the same 1 or 2 guys that get questions answered every week so here goes. Can you explain more on the punch setting? Is it better to set up your stages and just lessen punch to get better traction when the surface can handle it? We have 5 guys running DRK160 and we are funding success all over the ramp on punch. I don't need secrets just hoping Colin can explain its effect throughout the powerband. Also if you "finger" the throttle is it starting the stages over? James Gallatin When are you getting your kart? Featured Item of the week MaxAmps MaxBox, 29.99 custom wrapped.
