How Do You Put Camber in a RC Drift Car?

Camber is one of the most important alignment settings on an RC drift car, and a proper camber setup can drastically improve the car’s handling. But what exactly is camber, and how do you put it in a RC drift car?

Camber is the angle of the wheels relative to the surface of the road. If you look at a car from the side, you’ll notice that when the wheels are perfectly perpendicular to the ground (0° camber) they’re parallel to each other. If one wheel is tilted inwards compared to its opposite mate, then it has negative camber, and if it’s tilted outwards then it has positive camber.

Negative camber helps to keep more of the tire in contact with the road while cornering, which improves grip and steering response. Positive camber helps reduce understeer but can also increase wear on the inside edge of the tires. In general, most RC drift cars will use some degree of negative camber for better cornering performance.

So how do you put camber into a RC drift car? It’s actually quite simple; all you need is an adjustable camber plate. This is a metal plate that sits between your suspension arms and your chassis, and it allows you to adjust your wheel’s camber angle by simply turning a few screws.

Adjusting Your Camber Angle:

1. Start by loosening all four of your adjustable camber plate screws.

2.

Set your suspension arms so that they’re parallel with each other (0°).

3. Adjust your adjustable camber plate so that it matches this angle (0°).

4. Now adjust your adjustable camber plate so that it matches whatever angle you want for your desired level of negative or positive camber.

Note:

Now that we’ve gone over what exactly camber is and how to adjust it in a RC drift car, let’s summarize: Camber is an important alignment setting for any RC drift car, as it helps improve grip and reduce understeer by keeping more tire in contact with the road while cornering. To adjust your wheel’s camber angle, all you need is an adjustable
