How stiff should drift suspension be?
Typically, you want to run a set of bars that’s about 20 to 50 percent stiffer in the front than the rear; adjustments typically make a 10 to 30 percent difference in overall roll stiffness, so you can really change the car’s feel through bar adjustments.
What is the best RC drift?
Our Verdict. Our pick for the best RC drift car is the Traxxas LaTrax Rally. The 1/18 scale is not only the best value on the list, its small size makes it usable indoors while it’s rugged enough to handle streets and parking lots. The all-wheel drive drifter is fast out of the box but can easily be made faster.
Can you drift a 4wd RC car?
Yes, almost all RC cars are 4wd, and while drifting is associated with rear drive vehicles, people like Ken Block and the crazy folk at Gatebil prove that if you’ve got enough grunt, 4wd drift awesomely.
How much psi do I need for drifting?
While drifting, your tires heat up causing the air inside them to expand, so you want your tires to hit 32PSI at max tempurature. While your tires are hot, check your PSI by viewing telemetry and tune your PSI accordingly. 25PSI works nicely on most cars.
Do you need anti roll bars for drifting?
The rear anti-roll bar is an optional item depending on the level of power of the car and the amount of grip that is wanted. For set ups with lower power levels (below 500bhp) it is usually best to leave the rear anti-roll bar in place.
What turn motor is best for RC drifting?
10.5T and 13.5T are the most popular motors at the moment. Basically the 10.5T is a higher revving motor and the 13.5T is lower revving, but more torque. This is a preference thing, but generally the 13.5T will be less touchy and easier to control wheel speed/spin.
What does a gyro do in RC?
GC301-Gyro for RC Cars, It is a device using gyro sensor and software algorithm to adjust steering output, providing you with a more stable and Controllable driving experience. The Gyro’s heading hold effect manages steering output by automatically keeping the car’s tires aligned in the direction you chose.

Can you drift with 2wd?
RE: Can you drift with 2wd? You can’t do it. I have tried to do it with my rusty and street tires and it just doesn’t work if you get the rear end out far enough to really be drifting you spin out! The front end has to much to drag to go around a corner at the same speed as the rear.
Is higher PSI better for drifting?
While drifting, your tires heat up causing the air inside them to expand, so you want your tires to hit 32PSI at max tempurature.
What is the best diff ratio for drifting?
for drifting, in addition to what the others said, it also depends on the track. if it’s a low speed track, i’d leave in the 3.7 and stay in 2nd. for faster tracks stick in a 4.3 or 4.4 and grab 3rd.
What does toe do for drifting?
Toe in makes the car want to keep going in a straight line while toe out makes it want to move off to one side. In drifting it’s common to have a bit of toe in on the rear to keep the back end of the car more stable mid drift.
How much does it cost to get into RC drifting?
Starting is at about $400. Any less and you may want to reconsider R/C Drift. It is probably the cheapest of all the R/C disciplines to be into, but don’t mistake that with being able to do it without any type of investment.

What is gain on RC helicopter?
The “gain” is the factor between the sensed angular velocity and the power (wind or tail power) required to move the airframe. On a tiny TRex 250, you want low gain because it doesn’t take much for the wind to move the airframe many degrees off-track and it doesn’t take much for the tail to move the airframe back.
