The course was a spacious P-tile track, allowing everyone to enjoy driving at the same time without any issues.
While members came and went throughout the day, the pit area and driver's stand remained full from start to finish.
There were many AWD participants this time as well.
In particular, because the setup directions for AWD and RWD have recently become more similar, everyone was able to enjoy driving together, which is a great trend.
Tome, an AWD specialist, was extremely busy but still helped us out as a staff member this time.
Additionally, we had three female drivers join us this time. RC is a hobby with many male users, but having female drivers join certainly adds a bit of flair.
Moreover, their driving skills were no match for the men, as they showed off some very aggressive driving.
【Pick up Support】
"Pick up Support" is a segment where we share common concerns from participants and the solutions we implemented to address them.
Since many people were asking how to increase rear grip this time, I will introduce that here.
As shown in the image, set the rear upper arm angle in a "banzai" (upward) position.
※The angle has been set to an extreme position here for clarity.
After setting the upper arm angle as shown in the first photo, adjust the amount of camber change.
※Currently, the camber angle is set at 5 degrees.
Normally, when you roll the chassis like this, the camber angle changes, but by setting the upper arm angle upward, the camber change decreases during a roll.
Unlike asphalt or carpet surfaces, tile surfaces provide more grip with a larger contact patch, so reducing the amount of camber change in the roll direction allows for better lateral stability.
Since Aikodo has a long straightaway where it's easy to build up speed, lateral grip is especially necessary.
Therefore, adjusting the upper arm angle was highly effective this time.
