Chip in Black Russia: videos for beginners

Chip makes short, practical videos: starting from scratch, testing schemes himself, donating to see what pays off, promo code roundups and update reviews. He doesn’t have a series with a hundred episodes like Kreyt or Enzo, but almost every video answers a specific question beginners have.

“Hobo Path” on a new server

The first episode follows a no-donation start on a brand-new server. There’s no queue or established group of rich players, but there are very few cars on the market. Kreyt reaches the same conclusion from another angle in his car-flipping guide: flipping is harder on a new server and easier on an old one. Find a step-by-step route from scratch on the Hobo Path page.

New server or old server?

There are 93 servers now. The first colored servers, Red and Green, opened on April 20, 2020; the newest, Tashkent (92), opened on October 17, 2026. Creators almost always start on a new server. In his beginner’s guide, Kreyt recommends new servers because there’s no queue or competition, and business income is still growing, according to Urban. The downside is an empty market with few cars and buyers. See the opening dates for every server on the servers page.

Donations to see what pays off

The series covers donations of 2,000–5,000 rubles on an empty server, an old server and the most popular server, testing where a small amount goes further: donated number plates, resources or cars. It’s useful if you’re trying to decide whether to spend money at all. There’s one key rule: you can’t legally turn a donation back into real money. Selling virts is punishable by a permanent ban and a wipe (2.28). Find out what donations give you and how to top up your account on the donations page.

“I Scammed People for 24 Hours”

Chip tests popular scams on himself, just like Aira does in “Scamming the Car Market.” Don’t try this yourself: under the general rules, carrying out a scam gets you permanently banned. You can only get unbanned after returning what you took. The video’s real value is that it helps you recognize a scam. Find out how to sell a car without getting scammed on the how to sell a car page.

Update reviews

The “Fortune Crane” is a container event, and it’s also featured in the October 2026 Halloween update. The new login system is no rumor, either: on October 15, 2026, the developers made “Authorization 2.0” the default for new players. Find dates and details for all updates in the updates section.
