ok ive seen a lot of videos in the last while, and i just cant seem to figure this one out
why does every 1/5 scale driver use their trigger like an on/off switch???
every video i watch, offroad, touring car, f1, bashing or racing, all i hear is throttle blipping, full throttle then coasting. when i started racing nitro 1/10 thats how i drove and i was never that fast, and the car was hard to set up. the good drivers kept telling me to smooth out, and i did to a point. i guess it wasnt till i was handed the radio to an electric touring car (tc3) with a mod motor and 1 way front diff that i learned to be a smooth driver. after that, i figured out why the car was so hard to set up (on/off transition upsets the chassis), and it really helped with things like tire wear (read: destruction), drivetrain longevity, and kept the car from ending up in the boards.
so guys, what gives??? and if you don't know what i mean, here is an example http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j_l-xd9VYAU
