Is negative camber better for drifting?
On a drift car, you want to run the rear camber as close to zero as possible. This will usually give you the best tire wear and best forward bite. If you want a little more side grip, you can run some negative camber, but usually no more than 1 degree negative should be run.
How does camber affect RC car?
On the rear, Camber affects two things. In a straight line, maximum acceleration is achieved with 0 degrees of Camber. Adding Camber reduces forward traction slightly, but you will gain cornering grip.
Why do drift cars have positive camber?
The reason for pros running positive camber in the rear is so the cars will slide when not on power. Wisefab makes that much grip with semi slicks that they’re dialing grip out.
How much camber do drift cars use?
Front camber on a drift car often ranges between negative 4 degrees and 7 degrees depending on the amount of camber gain on lock. This is due to when the car is on maximum steering angle, the lead wheel will gain positive camber as it is turned.
Why do drift cars have slanted tires?
The tilt of the wheel is known as the camber angle. Tilting the wheel in that manner is called negative camber. Doing it the other way around (top outwards) is positive camber. Mounting the wheel with a negative camber improves grip under hard cornering as it counteracts rolling.
How can I make my remote control car go straight?
RE: How to make my RC go straight? allignment is off
- take off servo horn form servo.
- turn radio on and put the adjustment steering nob in the center.
- get the tires as straight as possible.
- put the servo horn back onto servo but make sure that the wheels stay straight.
- try it out.
What camber do drift cars have?
Is Front camber good for drifting?
He says you’re supposed to have more camber in the back than in the front so “the tires slip easier”. I said front camber is far more common in drift cars and front has a higher angle (well, lower since it’s negative camber) than back camber, and the fight ensued.
What is negative camber good for?
Because negative camber allows the car’s tyre to be kept perpendicular to the road as the vehicle moves along, it will enable drivers to achieve a better grip on the road, reduce wheel vibration, and improve vehicle handling.
What is a negative camber?
Camber is described as negative when the top of the tires tilt inward. Consequently, when the top of the tires tilt away from the vehicle it is considered positive. Camber is used to distribute load across the entire tread.
Why do cars with negative camber drift?
Drifting is nothing but oversteer. Camber helps the car in maintaining it’s directional stability.Drift cars usually have negative camber.This increases the scrub radius and decreases the steering response of the front end. As the rear end is already sliding it is necessary not to lose traction at the front by sudden steering.
Does camber matter for RC cars?
Although this doesn’t apply RC as much since your chassis is 4WD, the concept is similar. So with camber, you can see that your intial contact patch with the ground is minimal when standing still. But in the middle of a turn, the car leans, and the contact patch increases.
What is the physics behind a car drifting?
Here’s a little physics. When you drift there are several forces acting on the car. First there’s the inertia at which the car is traveling due to acceleration and momentum (remember that a body in motion will stay in motion unless acted upon by an unbalanced force..Newton’s 1st law).
Should your car’s camber angle be positive or negative?
Some racers and car enthusiasts set their camber angle so that it leans inward at the top (negative) beyond the vehicle manufacturer’s specifications. But for a vehicle that’s a daily driver, it’s best to keep the camber angle set to the vehicle manufacturer’s specification. Doing so will help the tires wear evenly and promote their longevity.
