c-hub

What is the c-hub on an RC car and how does it affect the car's handling?

C-hub suspension on an XRAY XB8 '23.

In the front of an RC car, you will usually find either c-hub or pillow ball (pivot ball) suspension. The advantage of the pillow ball setups is that they allow you to easily change the kingpin inclination and track width, while c-hub suspension tends to be a little easier for new drivers to set up and maintain.

See our articles on pillow ball suspension and suspension arms for more detail.
