How Do I Get More Rear Grip on My RC Car?

Getting more rear grip on your RC car is essential in order to maintain optimal performance and handling. Rear grip is the traction that your car has when accelerating, cornering, and braking.

Without adequate rear grip, your RC car will be more difficult to control, and you won’t be able to get the most out of it. Luckily, there are several steps you can take to improve the rear grip of your RC car.

One of the easiest ways to increase rear grip is by adding aftermarket tires. Aftermarket tires are specifically designed for RC cars, and they offer increased traction compared to stock tires. They also tend to last longer than stock tires, so they’re an excellent upgrade if you’re looking for improved performance.

Another way to increase rear grip is by adjusting your suspension settings. If you’re running a nitro or electric powered car, then you should lower the ride height of the car in order to achieve more traction. If you’re running a petrol-powered car, then you should increase the spring rates in order to achieve more grip.

Finally, adding weight to the rear of your RC car can also help improve traction. This can be done by adding lead weights or ballast bars to the chassis or body of the car. Adding weight will help shift the center of gravity further back and this will provide more stability when cornering and accelerating.

Conclusion:
By making some simple adjustments such as changing tires, adjusting suspension settings and adding weight, it’s possible to improve the rear grip on your RC car. Doing so will allow you to get better performance from your vehicle as well as improved handling and control over it.
