Learn how body position affects the handling of an RC car.

The position of an RC car's body can be altered in order to generate more or less grip. This is a particularly strong tuning tool for on-road racing, both touring and GP.

  • More initial steering
  • More aggressive

Body rearward

  • More stable
  • Easier to drive, especially on low-grip tracks

Lower in rear

  • Less grip in corners
  • Less drag

Higher in rear

  • More grip in corners
  • More initial steering
  • More drag
