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.
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
