R                                 Performance Upgrades Tips for RC Cars

Upgrade your shocks to threaded aluminum or carbon type if possible. The lightweight and strong material will help maintain consistent and easy movement. As well as the threaded shock helping with quick and easy adjustments. Some vehicles come with nice shocks right off the bat , so you might want to skip this. - You will also want to get some nice shock oil and ask the people at your track/lhs what kind of oil-weight they are running.   Get yourself a nice tuned pipe. Some stock ones aren't so great. Some are horrible and restrict horsepower from your engine. They can also help with gas flow , by increasing the pressure in the gas-tank. 2spd transmission upgrade. With this you will get quicker acceleration , adjustable shift-points and a higher top-speed. Most every RC has a 2spd upgrade or a better version for the vehicle. There are also 2-3 different styles of 2spd's. Choose the one that best fits you and your vehicle. - Also when tuning your 2spd for a track , make it so it shifts halfway down the straightaway. - We will have a complete review on all the 2spd types , costs , speeds and gearing. Carbon Fiber / Woven Graphite Upper Deck Upgrade - Get rid of those plastic upper decks. And get yourself a pro-style & stiff deck. Plus woven-fiber looks great. Also an advantage with this over aluminum is price , they dont interfere with the radio as much and it wont bend. Helps keep the suspension and chassis true. Probably the heart of a vehicles chassis. An super-stiff and thick chassis is sometimes the key you need to making a winning. Some vehicles come with an adequately stiff and well thought out chassis. But With just about a million variation out there ranging from aluminum to titanium to magnesium to carbon-fiber. How can one resist. The best bet is to stick with a metal so you can help dissipate heat from the motor and other parts. Also some want lightweight , some want more weight. With less weight lighter material chassis' you will get better acceleration.....unless you cant hook-up. Some want more weight and go with a heavy duty heavy-metal chassis so the wheels with stick to the ground better.
