I...

WC, you are making some pretty broad statements. No one setup could EVER work for everyone. All drivers tend to take a different approach and have different styles. Some like super responsive steering....others turn theirs down. Some love to drive tail out....others will drive through the turns.

As for set-up experience on Ryan and Cody....of course they do. They eat live and breathe RC Racing. They also have TONS of Track Time. Its what they DO.

If a world class driver with a killer set-up were to hand me his car and tell me to drive it I could NEVER, ever come close to his or her level. Most people couldnt.

That being said, having a basic starting point is important. BUT, no two drivers are alike in how they prefer the "feel" of their vehicle.

Broad Strokes on my part? YES...I need to sleep at the track. Too bad the "real world" gets in the way of that. I have to settle for having fun....after all is said and done, I thought that this is what its all about.

Sal, we have tried time and time again to explain this and it just doesnt soak in. Just agree to disagree and move on!!!

Though, Marcus. It's good to return the answer like Sal did so novices don't take WC's advice when no one retorts.

Show one of your set-ups winning a big race & I'll try it pronto mantis ...repectfully

Thanks Marcus....I wont lose any sleep over any of this.
I just wanted to add my two cents....even though I dont pray to the Gods of R/C

Opinions are just that.....and we all have them. I dont happen to rub elbows with any team drivers or claim to have any special talents. I just like to get out and run. I have fun....We all need to have run to get away from everyday stress. If and when I were ever to get PAID to do this I would then have to be MUCH more serious......lol. Never gonna happen.

Im happy to get out there and see what I can do.....R/C isnt all about winning races. Its about seeing what you can do and more importantly to me at least , It tests a person on many levels. Some guys like to wrench....some just like to bash. Imagine how many future "mechanics/technicians/engineers" got started just by trying to have fun? They may have never had a killer setup or a great vehicle either!

Sal

Setup? How about the driver? I Can NOT win a big race with Ryan or Codys setup. Im not too proud to say that. Be hard for most normal people....we dont work in the industry as paid professionals.

Keep painting......

Goodnight to all......Have to go work in the morning to pay for all the FUN I have when I get out to the track. Its not the other way around for me

My world is much nicer since I put a few users on ignore. However, I must admit - lately I've really been digging on the Hanford Jack:

I used to race with that guy (THE CHEESE GUY) 20 years ago. He always had the best stuff, and was always off the pace by two laps. What up wit dat?

show a video of YOU driving on a track and winning and I will try your setup pronto.....respectfully
Saying that you setup a truck for someone is like me saying that i built John forces motor and he won with it! OR my dad will beat your dad up!

I am done, not going to get sucked into another one of these pissing wars with you. good night

Oh man, CHEESE!!! I LOVE Dubliner Irish white cheddar. Certainly the best cheese in the world and If I ate more of it I'm sure I'd be a B mainer!!

I like to think that Ryan and Cody use their set-ups because they have not tried mine.

Or on cholesterol and hypertension meds.

Don't forget the angioplasty
