    About this ebook

    Now you can quickly understand how to adjust your RC car, buggy, or truck settings for optimum tuning!

    Within a range of tuning options, which is better, a higher number or lower? Thicker or thinner? How will a longer or shorter adjustment change the handling? If you keep scratching your head trying to remember -- RC Cheat Sheets to the rescue!

    This contains the same Team Associated RC Cheat Sheets text as sold in the app version, but without the Calculators section.

    For those of us who haven’t yet grasped the theory and physics of the tuning possibilities behind the many setup options, RC Cheat Sheets with its 90 cheat sheets accompanied by many full-color photos will give you shortcuts to the information you need to make changes intelligently and quickly.

    RC Cheat Sheets puts valuable information at your fingertips for offroad, onroad, and oval styles, and electric and nitro vehicles. These cheat sheets -- quick-lookup mini tuning guides -- are useful for a wide range of RC brands, not just Team Associated vehicles.

    Sections include:
    General
    Electrical
    Nitro
    Pan Cars
    ListMania
    Comparisons

    At your fingertips are helpful checklists and charts:
    Maintenance Checklist

      more Ackermann

      less aggressive steering

      easier to drive

      Ackermann is a term describing the effect of the inside front wheel turning tighter than the outside front wheel. More Ackermann means the inside wheel is turning in a tighter arc.

      You change Ackermann settings in the RC10B4.1 buggy by moving the connection from the current holes (standard Ackermann) to the lower holes.

      Anti-dive (onroad)

      lower angle

      decreasing anti-dive

      adding anti-dive

      larger angle

      increases corner entry steering

      increases caster at the wheel

      This setting refers to the angle of the front arm mount when the rear arm mount is higher than the front arm mount. The dive refers to the tendency of the front end to dive, or lower, when braking.

      Anti-roll bars can also help balance the pressure between the front and rear. If your car is oversteering, consider adding a front anti-roll bar only (or making the front bar thicker than the rear). If your car is understeering, consider adding a rear anti-roll bar only (or making the rear bar thicker than the front).

      return to General

      Anti-roll Bars, Sway Bars

      softer or thinner bars

      for low and med. bite tracks

      stiffer or thicker bars

      for high traction tracks

      Anti-roll bars are used to stabilize a vehicle from excessive chassis roll (such as when a buggy leans through the turns by centrifugal force).

      On a high-traction surface, a vehicle not using anti-roll bars will tend to have a lot of chassis roll, which results in the vehicle being less responsive.

      Adding anti-roll bars (or making them thicker if you already have them on) will help minimize the chassis roll, making the vehicle more responsive in cornering, and at the same time making it more stable.

      Anti-squat, offroad

      less anti-squat

      more side traction in corners

      more rear traction for slick or bumpy surfaces

      more anti-squat

      less side traction in corners

      more rear lift in jumps

      Anti-squat denotes the angle of the rear arms relative to the chassis, when looked at from the side.

      0 deg. anti-squat means that the rear arms are flat, parallel with the chassis. 2 deg. anti-squat means the front of the
