How Can I Make My Brushless RC Car Go Faster?

Brushless RC cars are a great way for those who enjoy driving and racing to get involved in the sport. The brushless motors provide more power than their brushed counterparts, giving drivers that extra boost of speed they desire.

But even with the increased power, some drivers may still be looking for ways to make their brushless RC car go even faster. There are several modifications and adjustments that can be made to increase the speed of your brushless RC car, allowing you to stay ahead of the competition.

Upgrade Your Motor

One of the most effective ways to make your brushless RC car go faster is to upgrade your motor. Brushless motors come in various sizes and wattages, and choosing one with greater wattage will give you more speed.

However, it is important to remember that when it comes to brushless motors, bigger isn’t always better. Make sure you consult with an experienced RC enthusiast before making any motor upgrades so you don’t end up buying a motor that is too powerful for your vehicle.

Change Your Gear Ratio

Another way to make your brushless RC car go faster is by changing the gear ratio. This is a relatively simple process that involves replacing one or more of the gears in your gearbox with a larger or smaller size gear.

A higher gear ratio will give you more top end speed but less acceleration, while a lower gear ratio will provide quicker acceleration but less top end speed. Experimenting with different gear ratios will help you find the perfect balance between acceleration and top end speed.

Tweak Your ESC Settings

Your electronic speed controller (ESC) also plays an important role in determining how fast your brushless RC car can go. By tweaking the settings on your ESC, such as adjusting how quickly it responds when accelerating or decelerating, or changing its cutoff voltage setting, can help fine-tune its performance and make it run faster than ever before.

Conclusion:
Making modifications and adjustments such as upgrading your motor, changing the gear ratio, and tweaking your ESC settings are all great ways to make your brushless RC car go faster. With a little bit of research and experimentation you’ll be able to find the perfect setup for maximum performance from your vehicle.
