🔧 RC Tuning Guide
What's the car doing wrong? Pick the symptom and get the fixes to try — in order, with the reason each one works. Change one thing at a time and re-test.
General tuning theory for buggies, trucks, touring & more. Your exact chassis manual always wins — this gets you pointed the right way fast.
The front washes wide and the car won't rotate into the corner.
The rear steps out and the car is twitchy or spins when you turn.
The rear breaks loose when you get back on the throttle out of the corner.
The car trips over its outside tires and rolls in corners when grip is high.
The chassis leans a lot and feels vague and slow to respond.
On acceleration the rear just spins instead of driving the car forward.
The car is over-reactive and wanders; it takes constant correction on the straight.
The shocks pack down and the car skips, bounces, or rides harsh over bumps.
The front collapses when braking, and the car lands front-first off jumps.
The car leaves ramps nose-high or nose-low and lands badly.
