Anti-roll Bar
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.
Anti-roll bar diagram

Aka “sway bar” or “anti-sway bar.”  Anti-roll bars are the most isolated way of controlling the car’s roll behavior without affecting the suspension geometry.

Thicker front bar

  • Less chassis roll / grip
  • More off-power steering on entry
  • Generally suited for high-grip tracks

Thinner front bar

  • More chassis roll / grip
  • Generally suited for low-grip tracks

Thicker rear bar

  • Less chassis roll / grip
  • More on-power steering and stability in mid-corner and exit
  • Generally suited for high-grip tracks

Thinner rear bar

  • More chassis roll / grip
  • Generally suited for low-grip tracks
