We own vehicles that are highly tunable to suit numerous course conditions and driving styles. Why not take advantage of this? Because most of the time we don’t know where to start. Keep in mind that most tuning is to suit a drivers preference. Some like it twitchy, some like it smooth. What works for one, might not work for another. Tuning is a complex task, and when changing one thing, you often affect ...

To be more specific, FDR takes into account all of the gears between the motor and the wheel - from pinion gear tooth count, to spur gear tooth count, to the number of teeth in the transmission output gear or pulley, and finally the tooth count of the vehicles differentials. The formula for Final Drive Ratio (FDR) is as follows: FDR ...

In many instances caster is one of the more over looked suspension tuning options on many rc vehicles. But having the correct caster angle can greatly improve your handling performance. So, what is caster? Caster is the angle of your kingpins or steering blocks when viewed from the side of your car or truck. If the top of the steering block or kingpin is leaning to towards the rear of your car or truck this is positive caster and if it is leaning forward it ...
