RC CAR SUSPENSION TECHNOLOGY (PoD)

The chassis of modern RC cars are in no way inferior to their prototypes. Complicated axle kinematics, elaborate dampers and the most diverse drive concepts make RC car sport technically interesting on the one hand, but on the other hand they also create a complexity that is only fully understood by a few experts.

If you want to master this complexity without studying automotive engineering, this book is the right choice. It covers all areas of the chassis, from basic theory and design to function and usefulness in practice. A few formulas, a few diagrams, and a large number of illustrations and explanations make for an easy-to-understand treatment of an extensive subject.

The author, a full-time chassis designer at Porsche Motorsport, has been an RC car driver and designer for over 30 years. All his know-how and all his experience are summarized in this book.
