TIPS TO MAKE RC
CARS RUN FASTER
|
Although it is very difficult to actually
pin down as to what makes the RC car go faster. But a proper maintenance,
cleaning, taking care of batteries or choosing right kind of consistent
fuel etc help the cars to give optimum performance. If one keeps some
tips in mind for taking care of the body, engine, batteries etc then
the same can add extra horsepower on racing tracks. Further, only practice
and lots of practice can give a driver proper maneuvering of the car
and with that practice only the cars can perform to their best on the
tracks.
Tapping all the holes with a 4-40 tap go about 3/4 length of the screw
keeps the parts from stripping. Spraying out all bearings and re- oiling
them with light bearing oil also helps. Parts should always be free
such that nothing binds them.
Some attention should also be paid to the car setup. Concentrating on
what your car is doing and what is it made up of will make you notice
the finer requirements of the car that are required for its optimum
performance. Using grease oil without grease works better with RC Cars.
Hard and efficient gears are usually loud ones that give out lot of
noise.
A smaller hole piston makes the car react slower, usually giving more
traction but there is also a possibility that it will probably do everything
else worse. Weight in front usually gives more on power steering but
the car will change direction at a slower pace. But the bottom line
is that it is legal to make your car as heavy one desires. It is preferable
to have brakes turned way down so that if one panics panic and stab
them hard it does not throw the car for a loop.
Tweak is the difference between the heights of the wheels relative to
the ground (at the same end of the car). e.g. If the front left is lower
than the front right the car is said to be 'tweaked' usually caused
by a distorted or 'tweaked' chassis or unequal shock lengths. It is
preferable to ride heights then set the tweak on the track. Then it
is correct it should be set on a tweak board and see where it is then
going back to that setting before each run.
Putting Coppertone and paragon on the tires also helps. Putting Coppertone
on the tire after the paragon, tires are actually able to soak without
the heat or sun drying it up. Put paragon on first then apply Coppertone
on the surface. There after put paragon on only right on top of it as
it has a tendency to dry up quickly. A fair amount should be used and
let it sit for 15-25 mins then should be wiped off like normal.
