I haven't raced a Touring Car in nearly 2 years. Well I want to start again, and I'm finding things have changed a bit since I've been gone. My old kit (MR4-TC) had only a few adjustments, so it was somewhat easy to figure out what changes to make to achieve the handling characteristics I wanted.
My new kit
(insert your kit name here)has all the tuning capabilities of my old one, plus some.
I don't know about anyone else, but I don't know what effect all of these adjustments have on the handling characteristics of my car??? But, there are a lot of knowledgeable drivers here at R/C Tech that do.
Since most of our cars have 95% of the same adjustments, I thought it would be helpfull for all drivers (Associate - Yokomo) (Gas & Electric) if a thread existed that covered this topic.
Can anyone define and describe the effects these tuning adjustments have on a chassis? How and when are they used?
droop
toe (front/rear)
camber (front/rear)
caster
skid angle
bump steer
ackerman
other adjustments???
If this thread can stay on topic it could become a good informational resource.
