In the world of professional R/C racing, there is a number of drivers that I really admire and look up to, but one driver in particular who I feel is one of the industry’s most dedicated, most knowledgeable, and most helpful to new and experienced racers alike is the legendary Adam Drake.

For experienced racers “simple” tasks such as setting ride height, gluing tires, and bleeding shocks is second nature, but for less experienced racers looking to learn and grow in R/C these tasks can be very confusing, frustrating, and seemingly impossible to understand.

Over the years Adam has put together an extensive list of videos on his YouTube channel which includes how-to tutorials, product explanations, tuning tips, sneak peeks, and more. Today I have compiled my top 10 favorite Adam Drake how-to and explanation videos that are packed with what I consider to be some of the most valuable information to know and understand for any R/C racer looking to succeed.
