How Do You Drift a RWD RC Car?

Drifting a RWD (Rear Wheel Drive) RC car is a great way to have fun, learn to control your vehicle, and become a better driver. Drifting an RC car is different than regular driving because the rear wheels are always powering the car, so you need to use the throttle to control the speed and angle of the drift. This type of driving requires some practice and skill, but once you get it down, it can be very rewarding.

The first step in drifting your RC car is to get your setup right. You will want to start with a RWD RC car that has adjustable suspension settings.

This will allow you to adjust the traction on the rear wheels for optimal drifting capabilities. It is also important that your tires are properly inflated for maximum grip on the surface you are drifting on.

Once you have your setup dialed in, it’s time to hit the track. Start by accelerating in a straight line and then quickly turn the steering wheel in one direction while pressing down on the throttle.

This will cause the back end of your car to slide out and start drifting. You can then use small inputs on both your steering wheel and throttle to control and adjust your drift angle and speed.

Drifting Tips:

  • Keep your hands light on both the steering wheel and throttle.
  • Adjust your suspension settings as necessary for different surfaces.
  • Use small inputs with both your steering wheel and throttle when adjusting drift angle and speed.

Drifting an RWD RC car is great fun once you learn how to do it properly. With some practice, you’ll soon be able to stay in drifts longer and keep more control over your vehicle. It’s also a lot of fun trying different techniques such as side slides or power slides!

Conclusion:

Drifting an RWD RC car is an exciting way to have fun while improving driving skills at the same time. To get started, make sure that you have adjustable suspension settings so that you can get the best traction possible for drifting.

Once you’ve got everything set up correctly, start by accelerating in a straight line before quickly turning one direction while pressing down on the throttle – this should cause the back end of your car to slide out into a drift. Finally, use light inputs with both steering wheel and throttle when making adjustments or corrections.
