ドリフトRCの魅力 BEST10
(広坂正美視点)
第10位『壊れにくいこと』
ドリフトRCでは、実車と違い、
めっちゃ硬いタイヤが使用されます。
ドリフトもあるのですが、
殆どがカチカチの硬いタイヤです。
弾力性のあるタイヤは
ドリフトカーでは、さほど使用されない
カチカチの硬いタイヤが
ドリフトカーでは主流
飛行機などの窓にも使われている
ポリカーボネイト や、
スーパーのレジ袋などに使われる、
樹脂、プラスチックのポリエチレン
などの耐熱性が強くて
かた~くて、
ドリフトカーが壊れにくい理由は、
このタイヤにあると思います。
路面との摩擦抵抗が少ないので、
「氷の上を人がスリッパを
履いて走るイメージ」
ドリフトRCは長く愛されていて、今だに
ファンが増え続けている理由は、
ここ(タイヤ)にあると思っています。
『カチタチ タイヤを付けると
低速度域で走るために
車が壊れにくい。
壁やフェンスにぶつけても、
タイヤが滑ることで、
車体は衝撃を受けにくい。
よって
壊れにくい』

[10th place of attractions of Drift RC from TOP10 (Masami Hirosaka's point of view)]
"Not easily broken"
Unlike real cars, drift R/C car uses very hard tires.
There are drifts that use elastic tires like real cars, but most of them are very hard.
Elastic tires (not used much in drift cars)
Hard tires (main for drift cars)
By the way, the materials used for drift tires are mainly polycarbonate, which is also used in windows of airplanes, and polyethylene, a resin and plastic used in supermarket shopping bags, which are heat-resistant, hard, and can be made in black.
I think the reason why drift cars are not easily broken is because of these tires.
Drift cars with hard tires have less friction with the road surface, so they always run in a sliding state.
Is it easier to understand if I say "it's like running on ice with slippers (no shoes)?"
Drift R/C car has been loved for a long time, and I think the reason why it continues to have more and more fans is because of this (the tires).
"With hard tires, the car is less likely to break because it can run at low speeds.
Even if you hit a wall or a fence, the tires slide, so the car is less likely to take the impact.
So it's less likely to break."
