RC Word Of the Week (brought to you by Competition-X)
Toe-in:
A condition when the front edge of both tires are closer together than the rear edge of both tires. Toe-in will make a car more stable under acceleration but decrease turn-in steering.
Toe-out:
A condition when the front edge of both tires are farther apart than the rear edge of both tires. Toe-out increases turn-in steering yet reduces stability under acceleration and through bumpy sections.
Main Topic:
