MY FIRST RWD RC DRIFT COMPETITION!!! Full Breakdown and Experience
I entered my first Rc Drift Competition!! I wanted to make this video to show you how it went and what you can expect if you ever want to compete! Subscribe!
This was filmed at Super-G Rc Drift Arena In Southern California. Its from round four of the super drift series and it was my first time ever competing in an rc drift competition. If your interested in seeing my setup I have a few about what Im running and why. I'm primarily a photographer and videographer but have always loved rc cars and wanted to show how fun they can be.

Grey coupe with the pink wheels thats me, this was my first comp I just started as well, going on 4 months. Being nervous was an understatement! 0:11
It was such an awesome learning experience but the most nerve I have felt in years haha. Glad we both gave it a try🤘🏼
@@SeanLewisMedia learning experience for sure but I had a lot of fun. Hope to see you next comp day.
great video for me and other people that are new to competion
Glad I could help!
Csak így tovább! Nagyon jól fejleszted magad!
nice video showing this amazing rc drift competition. thanks for sharing brother
I appreciate it! Have a great day!
Nervous is an understatement the way some of the guys can kill on the local track lol. I've been at this about four months, getting better, but still lose it the second I get close to anybody. Hopefully my local track will set up a rookie competition soon, takes a bit of the edge off knowing your competition is just as green as you are 😅😅
No joke until about 3 weeks ago I was the exact same way when I got close to people haha. Even just on a random night with no pressure. I’m just starting to be more confident but it legit has taken a while! You’ll get there soon! Thanks for watching! Have a good one🤙🏼
I’m so proud of you baby❤️😘
Thanks for pushing me to do it!
My first comp has my hands shaking for hours after. You can lay badass laps all day, moment they all watch you and stop, anxiety creeps up
The last time I raced was probably ten years ago and I brought back all the old memories of that stress haha. Thanks for watching!
Nice! 👍
Thanks Brandon! Awesome to see you on KZhead!
Nice coverage man. Thx
I appreciate you watching!
thanks for sharing
Thanks for watching!
Great video! I need to get better! Eventually I want to try to compete. Thanks for the video and insight to your day - subscribed!
You can definitely do it! It’s been an awesome learning experience and I’ve met so many good people! Thank you for the sub! It means a lot!
Wow that's amazing compitation of rc cars,,i enjoyed watching my friend
It’s an awesome hobby! Glad you enjoyed! Thanks for watching!
The sharks dont have gills anymore. They are land animals now. 😂 How many sharks were out there?
These sharks are spitting electricity haha. I’d say at least 15 were probably sharks, maybe more even.
Nice I’m running my first comp today up north.
Good luck and Have fun!
this is really nice videos G
I appreciate it! Plenty more videos on competing and prepping for comps coming in the future for sure! You could definitely do it!
Great video! It was really nice to see how the scene is operating there. Nice drifting and congrats on making it on the board.
I really appreciate it! Glad I could give a little look at how it all works at super g. Thank you!
Good job man. I don’t know drifting but it looks stressful lol. But I don’t like competition. Maybe one day you can show me some stuff.
Thank you! Id definitely help you out. The comps are stressful for sure but most of the time its just a solid group of 5-20 banging doors on random week nights haha. We'll get you out there sometime. I actually almost stopped at Super-G on the way home from picking that rig up to get some parts haha. Its right off the 605 at the 10.
I've been in the hobby for six months too and you're doing amazing! I've only been on a track maybe seven times. Having Super G as you're home track is a huge leg up in the hobby. I'm lucky to get one clean lap over a two hour session 😅
I really appreciate it! It has been a huge advantage being so close. I was probably there 4-7 times each month up until the last couple weeks were I've had to slow down a bit with how bad the weather has been here in socal lol. It legit took me a couple months of being there 4- 7 times each month before I finally was able to get a semi clean full lap lol, so dont feel bad or worry about struggling with it. Its hard haha. I think thats why RC Drift is so fun to me, its so hard to get better at that it makes it rewarding haha. Thanks for watching!
Great Vid, great driving. Happy that you’re having fun and continuously learning while having fun- Shaine
Thank you Shaine!
Awesome video. Very informative. I couldn’t imagine how nervous I’d be at Super G! Great job dude🤙
The nerves hit so hard but it was a great experience! I really appreciate the support!
@@SeanLewisMedia absolutely dude. Hopefully bang some doors with you some day. Keep up the great content 🔪
Great interesting video. Thank you
Glad you enjoyed it! Thank you!
Some great content you're making, subbed 👍
Awesome I'm glad you enjoy, thank you so much!
Always cool to see the Arizona boys representing! 🤙
They were throwing down🤘🏼 Thanks for watching!
@@SeanLewisMedia Hell yea man cant wait to binge watch your channel! haha
That actually means a lot so thank you!
@@SeanLewisMedia keep shredding bro 🤙
nice to see a video like this
Glad you liked it!
Awesome job dude! I would be terrified 😂 I been concentrating so hard just in my living room that being in a competition setting would be bonkers 🤣🤣🤣keep slaying one day ima have my first go to! 👏👏👏👏
Thanks so much! It’s been a long learning curve forsure! The nerves were wild haha. I was never ever that nervous racing 2wd buggies. I felt like I was performing in front of a crowd lol
@@SeanLewisMedia I could only imagine! Hahaha and it’s like you just want to hit the corners and be stylish but like one time of getting too greedy and it’s loop out time 😂 someday I will see what it’s like someday! 🤣🤣👏👏👏👏👏
Awesome video. I had the jitter when I first comped. Now it’s all 2nd nature and also good comrade with the other competitors.
Thank you for watching! It’s forsure a different vibe but was great to experience. Excited to sign up for the next one!
competition does strange things to the body especially if your new to it. Ive been playing sports, rcing rc cars and so on for years and i still get nervous
It really does! My second event was harder than I expected and for sure reset the confidence haha. I appreciate you watching!
get it bro!
Thank you!
You got the 1200$ shark is that what you said? Only 6mo in to drifting and bought a shark? wow! I bought expensive parts for my rtr mst so now I was looking at the shark final s... wow it looks incredible,,,how ez or not is it to set up for someone kind of new to drifting?
I actually started with the Yokomo YD2Z RTR and about 3 months in I upgraded to the base Shark that cost $369. The final form actually came out two months after I built my shark so the final form wasnt even an option. Its still just the yd2z with a base shark kit:) Its a little hard to setup up but I've made numerous videos about how to set them up as well as a full build video incase you want to see how it all goes together:) Tuning it to drive well is probably the hardest part as a newer drivier but learn on this car will help with any other car you might have down the road. Although these chassis seem like peak form for the hobby currently.
What motor was Jason running and what model esc? It sounds so good, and congrats with those runs for your first drift event!
He's got that special sauce haha! Its an Accuvance x Overdose 10.5t Motor thats making the noise. Its a special edition motor from a bit back I believe and he told me thats why its got that distinct sound. Its paired with Accuvances upper end ESC. Thank you for watching!
@@SeanLewisMedia rightio then yeah it sounds pretty good I couldn't tell which motor was yours in the tandems but one of them sounded really good I think it wad yours am I correct?
Mine does have a very distinct sound too. Im running a 13.5t Hobbywing D10 Drift Combo Motor and ESC that sounds pretty good. @@michellejeanneret74
What is the floor ? Painted concrete? What do you typically use for top coat product?
It’s imported Japanese P Tile. No coating on this track, just naturally polished from the cars running. It was just raw tile when they first installed a couple months ago👍🏼
Do you have a link to the product
@@okanaganmedia super g has it linked on their website
What are the scale of the rc cars cause they look like 1/10,1/14, and 1/16
You are correct! They are all 1/10 scale in my videos and the rules for the US Drift champioship is 1/10. I have seen a couple 1/14th scale drift cars but they were conversions from old onroad cars that were just for fun builds.
Thank you just needed to know
What chassis were you using ?
Rhino Racing Shark with a Scale Reflex Hydra Chassis. I have a video talking about it a little bit back on my channel
Awesome ill have to check it out thank you
I've been doing it for 2 years and in the UK it's really not comp based like yeah we are doing like a 6 round every month so there will be a little bit on the KZhead channel but overall I wouldn't say that you did bad tbf
I appreciate it! Its been a lot of fun learning and yeah the comps are pretty spaced out as well which is nice. There have been some events outside of the comps which has been cool. Thanks for watching!
