Quick tip explaining the effects of an anti-roll bar on an RC car and when you might want to use a lighter or a stiffer bar.
When we first announced that we were working on So Dialed, a lot of folks asked for a troubleshooting guide on how to fix common handling problems. Here is what we came up with!
Max Mört goes in depth on anti-roll (sway) bars, explaining how they affect handling for off-road cars, how to choose thicker or thinner bars, how the anti-roll bar affects the car over jumps, how important it is in comparison with other settings, and how ARBs interact with your wheelbase and driveshaft choices.
How to fix understeer (push), oversteer (loose), and other common handling problems for both on-road and off-road RC cars.
A free sample from JQRacing's Invisible Speed Online course, this video explains the physics behind anti-roll bars and how to apply them to racing. A must-watch!
