Exclusive summary about RC Car Test Drive by Shareen Aguilar

Driving your RC car is what you cannot wait to do from the very beginning you start assembling the parts of your car to the day you finished it. There are going to be challenges when driving RC cars at the beginning. Anything about driving RC cars interest you all of a sudden.

RC car drive testing for speed especially when you have the passion towards RC cars. The first one would always be about tuning your RC car before putting it on any RC tracks. If you are targeting to drive faster, it’s recommended to rely on a stopwatch than what you think.

Does an aggressive driving work better or you are usual smooth and familiar driving is good? How about changing to harder compound tires on your next run? When you have decided on what works better for your RC car, still make a note. You might want to take on driving styles as well. Also, it’s always important to keep your RC car in tune with parts functioning properly.

Speeding Up Your RC Car

What are shims anyway? It is placed in between your RC parts to help the RC car maintain its level just in case it goes over rough roads, large stones and the like. An RC car with shims reduces sloppiness while it runs.

You have to first disassemble the parts starting from the rear hub and then the axle pin. Then, assemble again the rear hub but this time, place the shim next (the shim could be plastic made, wood or metal) followed by the bearing.

What the shim does is it minimizes the gap in between the axle pin and the bearing. This should do the trick in making your RC car run faster. There is one downside to shimming though. If there is too much shim, it’s possible for the tires of your car to bind.
