What camber is best for drifting?
What camber is best 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.
Why do drift cars have camber?
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.
What makes a car drift?
The phenomenon of drifting occurs because the rear slip angle is greater than the front slip angle. Maneuvering a car while turning is quite simple. You simply rotate the car’s steering wheel to your desired direction. Once you do this, physics will take over, and you will be left with limited control of your car.
What makes a good drift car?
The key attributes of a good drift car remain, in that front engine with rear-wheel drive is the only way, by using the weight transfer of the engine over the nose compared to mid or rear-engined cars that can’t change direction as quickly.
Can you drift a Stanced car?
A stance setup can often go against everything that a ‘racecar’ typically stands for, destroying the performance, making it borderline undrivable, and drifting near-on impossible.
Is drifting hard on your car?
In short – drifting causes wear and tear damages to your car. Your rear tires will not last very long from the friction. The other most common damage from drifting is exterior damages. No matter how experienced you are in drifting, you are bound to lose control and crash into something.
Which is the best RC drift car kit?

What does camber do to your car when you drift?
What camber does is help create more contact between the tire and road when turning. Here’s a little physics. When you drift there are several forces acting on the car.
How does camber work in a RC car?
Note that for some weird reason camber is positive in the RC world, but negative in 1:1 racing…don’t ask. We all just call it negative since it’s what we’re used to. Camber is achieved by shortening the suspension upper arms on your chassis by turning the turnbuckle.
What kind of tires do you use for RC drifting?
Tires 1 HPI T-Drifts (most common out there) 2 Tamiya Driftechs 3 Yokomo Single Rings 4 HPI LP’s and Type A treaded 5 Active Hobbies 6 Shimizu Racing 7 Blade Racing 8 RC Spice 9 Raikou Drift Tires (from NYC) 10 Sushi Tires aka PVC tires
