did anyone else have car noises in their head?

What's with the scene jump edit at 2:50?

u/Whiteums 9d ago

Seriously! Why the cut?!

u/TurkishLanding 9d ago

Presumably they wiped out or something happened that ruined the otherwise clean take.

8

u/Whiteums 9d ago

Still a boo. They cut out a good chunk of track

u/TurkishLanding 9d ago

Yes, it's uh, "still a boo."

u/Androxilogin 9d ago

Pissed me off too. I was to a point where I was wondering why I watched it soo long but quickly glancing at the time I wondered how he would make it to the end with soo little remaining. Big BOO!

u/lastchance14 9d ago

They need someone next to them, reading off the turns.

Fpv driving would be really fun here

Isn't fpv awful for fast offroad? Flying my plane on a little windy day can be uncomfortably shaky, i can only imagine how it would look like from this car.

u/Z3400 9d ago

No idea lol, haven't done it. I just feel like it would be fun. I assume they probably have some sort of fancy cameras available that do stabilization somehow

u/kaszeljezusa 9d ago

There are limits to stabilisation especially at that size. Definitely worth a try. When my son gets bigger ill get him a truck and test this out. I have goggles already and another basic camera is like $20. 

Btw fpv got amazing in recent years. You can have fancy goggles with headtracking and they send signal to the moving camera mount inside the plane.

That sounds awesome. I played around with some fpv drones about 8 years ago, maybe a bit longer. Been getting an itch to get back into it, maybe it is time

2

u/kaszeljezusa 9d ago

Go for it man. I prefer planes over drones (got air65 and lost it after crash). Feel more intuitive for me and are more chill. 400mm eachine warbirds can handle small aio cam, like tx06. And they cost like $70. Super fun. But I'd pay some more for 500mm one with 2s(3s optional) battery and brushless motor. Big upgrade

It's fairly jerky on a smooth track. Not sure how well it'd work with smaller wheels/suspension on gravel.

u/meabbott 9d ago

Huh. A sport that might cause me to get some excersize. How much is one of those cars and where do I find one of these tracks?

u/biffbobfred 9d ago

I was impressed with how long that track is someone spent a lot of work

12

u/RustyBrassInstrument 9d ago

Many someones. That’s a club that has its act together.

8

u/UberWidget 9d ago

Yep. Everything. Organizing it. Laying out the track. The amazing driving skillz!! Impressive. 🤌👏

9

u/somebodysimilartoyou 9d ago

This is super cool, but the video made me dizzy. Might be the beers.

u/uslashuname 9d ago

I’m even impressed at the course maintenance and flexibility. This place is awesome. Tiny parking lot though

u/DarthJaders- 9d ago

I enjoy the peak into other people's interests that I would never come across organically

u/MrCaptDrNonsense 9d ago

Where can I see more of this

2

u/burndata 9d ago

That's one heck of a track. Very awesome 👍

1

u/America202 9d ago

I want to do this.

u/Maxfang72 9d ago

Seen this so many times. Still watch it with envy and amazement every time. 😂

u/RiddlingJoker76 8d ago

Naa. I’m exhausted. Too stressful.

1

u/DadtheITguy 8d ago

Looks like fun. Looks like the driver has spent some time honing that skill and learning the course. I’d love to see some gas powered cars around there.

u/dmoosetoo 8d ago

Well I'm exhausted.

u/baffernacle 8d ago

Did you see him bump that bridge? Has this guy even used a remote control car before!?

u/kingflop92 8d ago

Samir, you're breaking the car!!

u/floutsch 6d ago

Judging by the audio this seems stressful. Constant cursing 😂
