Mayako's David Ronnenfalk demonstrates two different ways of measuring droop on off-road RC race cars, so you can choose which works best for you.
Infinity's Viktor Wilck demonstrates how to check the tweak on a 1/10 touring car without the use of a tweak station in a few useful, easy-to-follow steps. A great guide for between-race maintenance.
Great overview of basic alignment aspects of the suspension, from toe and camber to caster and steering axis inclination.
Ty provides a quick explainer on how to know when your pillow ball suspension needs to be cleaned out, and how to do the actual maintenance to ensure the uprights move freely.
This is a meaty one, so pull up a chair! In this video, learn about suspension inserts and how toe (inboard & outboard), anti-dive, and sweep affect a car's handling, with Alex Hagberg, tuning expert from XRAY.
Most RC cars allow suspension tuning via the mounts that hold the lower suspension arms to the chassis, but some cars extend this to the upper arms as well, making for a very complex mix of options.
JQ gives an in-depth explainer of scrub radius and how it affects your RC car's handling.
The Hall Brothers share a great video discussing the pros and cons of running inverted (upside-down) shocks on your off-road RC buggy or truck. They focus on 1/10 scale racing, but the principles apply to other scales as well.
The inimitable Joseph Quagraine explains jacking forces, roll center, and what it means to drive "in the track" vs "on the track."
Wondering why you might want to use shorter or longer front upper suspension arms on your RC buggy or truck? Check out this explainer from 1/8-scale veteran and Mugen Seiki team driver, Adam Drake.
