Drifting is a fun and exciting way to get the most out of your R/C car. Whether you’re a beginner or an experienced racer, mastering the art of drifting makes R/C car racing even more thrilling.
To make an R/C car drift, you’ll need to know how to adjust the suspension setup and modify the tires.
The first step in making an R/C car drift is to adjust the suspension setup. Start by setting your camber angle, toe angle and caster angle so that all three are equal.
This will help you control your drift better and keep your car on track. Then, adjust the spring rate and shock dampening on your suspension so that it’s stiffer than normal. This will make it easier for you to initiate a drift when you turn into a corner.
The second step is to modify the tires on your R/C car. You can use foam tires or rubber tires for drifting, but foam tires are generally preferred because they provide more grip and are better suited for drifting. If you’re using rubber tires, be sure to use a softer compound so that they don’t wear out too quickly while drifting.
Once you have adjusted your suspension setup and modified the tires on your R/C car, all that’s left to do is practice! Drifting takes time and patience; start by practicing in wide open spaces with no obstacles or other cars around so that you can get used to how it feels before taking on more challenging tracks.
Conclusion: Making an R/C car drift requires adjusting its suspension setup and modifying its tires. Be sure to set all three angles of camber toe angle and caster angle equal before adjusting the spring rate and shock dampening of the suspension for easier drifts.
Also use softer compounds for rubber tires if possible. Finally, practice makes perfect when it comes to mastering the art of drifting; start in wide open spaces with no obstacles or other cars around until you feel comfortable enough with how it feels.
