What actually is "traction" when it comes to RC cars?

Traction is another word for grip and describes how well the tires are gripping the race track. Traction is one of the most core concepts in racing, as the better the tires grip, the more easily the car can accelerate, decelerate, and change direction. See our article on grip for details.
