Getting more turn out of your remote-controlled car can make a big difference in how quickly you can go around corners and how smoothly you can maneuver. Whether you are a beginner or a seasoned pro, there are several techniques that can help you get more turn out of your RC car.
Tuning the Suspension
One of the most important aspects of getting more turn out of an RC car is to tune the suspension. If your car is too stiff, it will not have enough turn-in response, and if it is too soft, the car will oversteer and lose traction in the corners. Tuning the suspension involves adjusting the dampers, spring rates, ride height and other settings to find the best balance between grip and agility.
Lowering the Center of Gravity
Lowering the center of gravity on an RC car will improve its turning ability and make it easier to handle on tight turns. This can be done by adding or removing weight from certain parts of the car, such as lowering ride height by adding spacers to the shock absorbers or fitting lower profile tires. Lowering ride height also helps reduce body roll when cornering which further improves cornering performance.
Altering The Weight Distribution
Altering the weight distribution on an RC car is another way to improve its handling characteristics. Moving weight from one area to another can dramatically change how a car handles, particularly when cornering at high speeds. For example, moving weight from the front to rear (or vice versa) will affect how much grip each end has in a corner, while moving weight side-to-side will affect how much grip each side has when cornering hard.
Upgrading The Tires
Upgrading tires is also an effective way to get more turn out of an RC car as different tire compounds offer different levels of grip and traction on various surfaces. Soft compound tires offer maximum grip but tend to wear quickly while harder compounds offer less grip but last longer. It’s also important to ensure proper tire pressure as this affects handling characteristics significantly – too much pressure makes tires too hard while too little pressure makes them too soft resulting in poor traction and handling performance.
Conclusion:
Getting more turn out of an RC Car requires some tuning and upgrading which includes fine-tuning suspension settings for different surfaces; lowering center of gravity; altering weight distribution; and upgrading tires for better grip and traction on various surfaces. All these techniques together can help you get more turn out of your RC Car for improved cornering performance.
