Hi everyone we're at RLMC RC Lovers Model Cub they're
actually doing these these racings with the radio controlled cars here it comes
1 8 scale and this is the course all around me and they go really fast i'll show you in
a minute and i'll show you some of the cars it is unbelievable i didn't even
know they had a club here in Mauritius so i'll get some more information for you guys
these are some of the cars other ones going past fast but look at how gnarly the wheels get
messed up i mean this is like proper race car ing oh man how fast do these things go
100 kilometers an hour these things go oh man oh look there's an Audi r r something R8
oh man look at the size of the engine in that oh man these things are loud i think they're
petrol driven this one's electric okay so it doesn't make quite as much noise as that one
oh man those things are fast and he's in the slow lane whoa
oh man look at that thing go oh wait here he comes down straight oh
oh man look at the exhaust on that thing
the smell of fuel is in the air oh man here he goes here he comes he's going to take him oh he's
off onto the pit lane onto the pit lane obviously Audis are a popular car because he has a red one
but how much stuff do they stick into these things this is like a bigger one i'm not sure how it all
works maybe there's different divisions as you can see they come into the pits and some of them
have to have their wheels changed just like in real racing wow these things are amazing
2.1 centermeter cubed
wow so that's actually quite big it's four-wheel drive four-wheel drive oh wow yes so you turn the
back and the front actually goes in front but oh they run on belts i always wanted
one two three and a half two speed so you have two speeds speed automatic speed so when you're going
faster it changes down okay wow doesn't always go well that's a wheel on its way out oh well
well as you can see there are loads of guys behind me and they all belong to the club it's actually
based in Beau Bassin but once a year they actually get like a track somewhere in the parking lot like
at Super U but they're going to try and get it more often but you guys can go check them out on
check them out on Facebook i'll put a link i'll go find them and i'll put a link for you guys
and then you can actually come join them it's amazing wow those cars are so fast 100 kilometers
per hour i'm going to say that a lot hundred kilometers an hour they look so real is this like one point
eight scale 1.8 scale and look at the controllers i remember when controllers didn't have a computer
on board this guy goes so fast he actually has a huge bumper on the front and on the back so guys
don't crash into him or maybe he's crashing backwards but these things are unbelievable
and they're turning wow those those wheels really turn
this is his controller and like i said they're all computerized now oh look at all this detail that
you actually get on them this is this is not a toy this is not a toy this is serious business wow
everyone this is Yannick Yannick from New York he is the number one
RC racer everyone doesn't agree but apparently he is yes
and this is Yannick's car yeah this one it's powered by water crystal guys
that's his sponsor and this is Bobas car
and that's Boba there
and this is the guy we just saw the wheel coming off of so
you won sir pit stop putting the wheel in wow but how do you keep it on the road with such
thin tires that thing was going really fast skill must be skill
is foam tire this rubber
oh these are foam tie and those are rubber that's the difference
this uh electric car oh okay of course so this one's the electric one
and this is the gas power so you've got to have slightly better tires all which is better tires
these are the better tyres so he's actually got a cleaner here that he then then he then rubs it on
the tire and it gives grip no no we cleaned with that yeah oh that's just cleaning okay
it's a new tyre okay so it's a new tire so it needs cleaning of the oils and things with the
shield on it you have to remove it so also four wheel drive all are 4 wheel okay so everyone's four wheel
oh wow and then look at the kit you have to have and this is just one side of it all the tools
amazing and then we put some tire additive is this the secret illegal stuff for street racing
no it's for all everyone puts
everyone puts it gives it a little bit of grip oh there we are
mighty gripper that's what it's called
oh man it's such an art this okay so that opened the pores of the rubber there then the additive goes inside and so then
the additive goes inside and then you've got tire heaters like real formula one and i i kid you not
that's a tyre heater he's got the box there and he's got the little caps that he puts on it no way
oh man this must take up your life
and there you are putting on the tire heaters and of course it's branded because you got it you
got to get your sponsorships let's see who is he sponsored but there are that's the pilot Juvanne
that's me
that's you and my son Lucas is the the mechanic
he's at the moment he's gone off to get sandwiches so so the driver has to do his own work
and there we are the heating on and all around all around the bits and pieces little spare
parts I'm just truly amazed by this the club has been around for six years but RC and Mauritius
clubs have been here 15 years so they've been here a while and they really have been perfecting
their skill and the stuff is unbelievable i've shown you some of the footage but i'm gonna show
you more when they start the next race actually have a look at that that is actual carbon fiber
they actually have carbon fiber there we go with the slightly bigger one this is the 1 8
scale and boy does it go we're going to watch it coming down the street here he comes oh
1 8 scale unbelievable then it is these things
here we go
i'm not a formula one cameraman oh oh look at him oh he's warming up but
wow the power the wheel's spinning on that thing oh we've got the R8 coming in and
there we go
and you can see the guys stand up there so they can see it better
and now we've got so many on the track i doubt you can hear me
come racing oh we missed the crash the Audi crashed here comes the blue one and it's not
too expensive you can get an entry level about 30 000 rupees all in that's the low level
but it's not going to be that one
unfortunately that one didn't quite make it around the turn going a little too fast then off he goes
they come so fast down here and there are so many of them
here they come down the straight
we've got a couple coming up to the straight look at him corner and we've got two more there oh
they're gonna race down the straight oh yes and here comes the Audi just take them out getting back in
there we go let's see if Audi can complete the lap here it comes
wow it is so noisy here they come two of them together
oh epic epic here comes the red one he was so fast last time here we go
i don't think anyone can go faster than that
it's a loud noisy sport but my heart is pumping
it is epic there is the smell of fuel in the air
it's like real racing racing
RC racing in Mauritius
it's awesome anyway everyone thanks for watching i'll see you next time
