*RC Weight Transfer Fundamentals - Part 1* Ask Ray Munday

Weight Transfer Video - Fundamentals Part 1
Weight transfer is a critical but very misunderstood part of vehicle dynamics. In this video I cover 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!

This sort of stuff is gold. So much better than doorknobs crashing things into walls.

[@MorrisonWaud]

I love this. You tell how and why all while actually staying reasonable to understand. Thank you for doing this!

@ 7:00 the more weight on a tire is only more traction IN A STRAIGHT LINE, NOT in CORNERS, this is the basics of tuning the handling, at the end you correctly point this out.

You mentioned a tire video, I could not find it, got a link?

Cheers for the great info👌 I noticed the front shock tower protector/guard, is that a factory part or aftermarket part??

[@rmunday76]

That's a standard part on the B6.3d :)
