RC Wheelbase 101

In this video AJ takes the time to go over the ins and outs of vehicle length and how that affects the way an RC handles. Wheelbase is a topic that seems to fall through the cracks when discussing which cars to consider when looking for a new RC. Most of us see a new RC and think, wow, ain't that cool? But do we consider the way that RC might handle? Will it actually do what we want it to do? Understanding what makes an RC tick is only the first step in choosing a new car or truck. It's not which one you pick, it's understanding how the physics behind the machine in question works. If you understand tires, length, power, and ride height, not to mention shock setup and camber and toe, you might be getting there. AJ, having decades within the RC hobby, has taken the time to learn a lot of these lessons, and is willing to share what he's learned with all of you. In this episode, it's wheelbase.

Great info as always I’m going to continue to listen..

[SpeedSyko]

AJ! That’s awesome info Brother! Hope all is well my friend! 👍💯

You are so correct about the length of the chassis as it relates to stability. I built a stretch Kraton EXB and it is far more controllable than my Kraton. I really enjoy your videos. Keep up the great work!

Please keep your 101 videos coming. Very informative.

Always wondered about wheelbase. Thanks for this!

Well i now decided to convert my 6S Kraton into an Kraton-XL. Thank you for the vid.

[casconie]

extremely well explained, thank you for your rc knowledge & experience and most importantly sharing it with us(beginners or experienced). be safe & endured. bash on & wrench on.

By far the toughest and most fun basher is the Arrma Typhon with 2.8 Badlands 1/10 scale truck tires. It's faster, lighter, tougher, and handles better than the Kraton. Of course, it's not really a buggy anymore it's a hybrid. Truggified.

I’ve been trying to figure out what size chassis to start with. I started with cheap 1/18 size cars to see what it feels like and I’ve been watching videos and want to build one from scratch 1/7 scale $$$

Good content as always
“It’s awesome when you do” 🤭🤛👌

I didn’t know how the chasis length compared and it makes sense that my Mojave is a little harder to adjust mid flight
