*RC Car Weight Transfer Fundamentals Part 1* Ray Munday

Weight Transfer Video - Fundamentals Part 1
Weight transfer is a critical but very misunderstood part of vehicle dynamics. In this video Ray covers the basic fundamentals - what causes weight transfer, why we are stuck with it, how to tune with it - even why the name weight transfer is incorrect :)
Look out for Part 2 which will cover dynamics of weight transfer including the effects of roll centres, springs and shocks.
Any questions ask away!

I needed you 20 yrs ago when I was racing! Great job brother!

[@NicJackson]

Ray your videos are brilliant, in my humble opinion the best technical content on RC on TH-cam

[@TuttiNakki]

Thanks!!! This was help a lot for my driving with 2wd byggy but now I have lost my mind with 4wd car. :)

[@juanpablosaenz444]

Yoo you’re back! These types of videos are great

[@ocdmods4992]

Another informative video. I always feel smarter after watching these. Thank you.

[@rmunday76]

Thanks for the kind words :)

[@Slatanicmushroom]

Another 'next level' video! Thanks Ray, loved it!

[@arrongee6493]

Please keep makingg content. Havent even watched the video yet and i already know its going to help me understand the car better to get a couple extra tenths at the track!! 👊

[@rmunday76]

Great to hear :). Hope you enjoyed it!

[@Applinglingling]

This is amazing, making everything clear as day. thanks brother.

[@kyhonjan]

Brilliant simple explanation thanks. Just a thought would the resultant torque of the motor through the rear axle and tyre that is in contact with the ground during acceleration create a moment that would contribute to load shift experienced? If so then for high bite surface the main way to maximize rear traction would be to have a forward weight bias. Maybe it's explained in Part2. Will go to that now. Cheers.

Thanks

What about adding unsprung weight on arms to add stability

[@Synic08]

The suspention DOES transfer weight, but not necessarily the REASON it happens… obviously suspention doesnt compress until the load starts to shift… the suspention controls the transfer.

Does all wheel drive change anything?
