Whether you are a hobbyist or a professional, having an RC car with superior speed is always an advantage. It is no secret that an RC car’s speed depends on several factors, such as its engine size, the type of tires it has, and the gear ratio you choose. Here we discuss what makes your RC car faster.
Engine Size
The size of your engine affects the amount of power it can generate. The larger the engine size, the more power it can produce and therefore the faster your car will be. However, if you choose too large an engine for your vehicle then you may end up sacrificing acceleration for top speed.
Tires
The type of tires you choose is also important in determining how fast your RC car can go. Generally speaking, softer tires will provide better grip on surfaces and thus allow for higher acceleration and cornering speeds than their harder counterparts.
Gear Ratio
The gear ratio determines how much power is transferred from the engine to the wheels. A higher gear ratio means more power is transferred and thus your car will accelerate faster. However, a higher gear ratio can also result in lower top speed so it is important to find a balance between acceleration and top speed when selecting your gear ratio.
Conclusion
All these factors combine to determine how fast your RC car can go. The right combination of engine size, tire type, and gear ratio will help ensure that you get maximum performance out of your vehicle.
With careful consideration and fine-tuning, you can make sure that your RC car is always running at its peak performance!
