How Do You Mod An Electric RC Drift Car?
Drifting has become one of the coolest segments of the RC hobby, and many RC manufacturers have added purpose-built drift cars to their lineups. Drift cars are essentially 4WD touring cars with special hard compound tires that defy traction and allow these cars to slide (drift) around corners. Like other forms of RC competition, drifting requires driving skill and suspension tuning knowledge. Certain modifications can be made to divert traction to the front or rear of the vehicle and make the car handle more to your liking. Set up the rear tires with seven degrees of negative camber and the front tires with five degrees. Camber adjusts the tire’s contact patch with the driving surface. Leaning the tires inward toward the chassis produces negative camber and reduces the contact patch on the outside portion of the tires. Use a turnbuckle wrench to adjust the length of the turnbuckles. Reducing the length increases negative camber. Use a quality camber gauge to adjust the camber accuratel
