McTips - Setting & understanding camber gains on your onroad RC car

For anyone who sets their camber on a setup station but doesn't know exactly what their car is doing on the track, this is for you. Some go fast tricks proudly brought to you by me, Tony McMahon, AKA - McTips

Well, all that is fine but it really depends on the tires you run and the grip of the track you race on. If the grip is lower, less camber gain is better because you won't be able to use the static + dynamic camber change, the outside of the tire will never be loaded. If the track is high grip then yes, more camber gain is better because otherwise the internal part of the tire might lift and loose grip during cornering.

currently running vta and this changed my whole perspective on setup tysm

[@TimBoundy]

This will affect the roll centre as well. Do you make any roll centre changes at the lower arm mounts to compensate for these upper link changes?

[@KompletterGeist]

This just tells me that RC companies (even the serious racing brands) have no idea how to design proper suspension geometry 🤣😅

[@pukki34]

Nice tip. Too few views!

[@MrSUBY25]

Great tips. I was checking my camber gain this past weekend but never mimicking a load. Will do this when I get home for sure.

[@TonyMcMahonRC]

Glad it helped

I would like to have youre input on my rc no prep drag car as far setup. we do 132 foot drag racing. Im going to be getting a set up station real soon. Your input would be appreciated Thanks Sam

[@TonyMcMahonRC]

Hey Sam, I would not have the first clue about drag racing sorry?

[@xibidit]

maybe you can answer this, why is everyone using a spool in the front for these beltjobbies? wouldnt that impair steering and cornering? and i used your tricks setting up my car earlier, nice tips loading the car up in a twisty way. made all the difference when pushing the corners today.

[@squeakygiant]

In full sized cars yes, but in these smaller lighter cars it works. Helps pull the car straight out of a corner. Apparently they can be unstable exiting the corners with a diff.

Need One of “understanding down stops and weight transfer”. 😊

[@FilippoDeLuca]

Yes It would be awesome

[@guitarzzero]

Hey Buddy, aren’t you raising the the roll center quite a bit by changing the camber link angle? Stiffen the back end = Less camber change anyway?

[@R.B_B]

Very nice video! Help me a lot. What is this setup station and I race 1/10 touring and 1/8 gt has a good setup station that cover these two class?

[@colestaples2010]

Where do you get your tools?

[@nelsonsoper1]

I have watched a lot of these videos and I got to say this was so practical. Thank you. My search is over

[@ChrisJohnsoniShootnRaw]

Wow! This is totally why my car has been all over the place in turns. Just started doing on road racing and noticed. Kind figured it was my camber! Thanks.
