The base Re-R Hybrid kit is a AWD/CS chassis, however, regardless of running AWD/CS or RWD, the idea of controlling the "Weight-shift" is similar. If you do not utilize the front drives on the Re-R hybrid, you will not be taking advantage of the "System" that controls the weight shift.

 

 

With throttle ON and as the RPM increases, the front drives will generate a gyroscopic effect and enables the driver to load and maintain the loaded weight, and with throttle off, will enable to release the loaded springs, and by using the rebound, the driver is able to "rotate" the weight shift, and throw the chassis.

 

*Gyroscopic effect

The stability increases as the RPM increases

 

 

As soon you "rotate" the weight shift and throw the front of the chassis, then control the throttle OFF and braking to shift the weight forward to the front, and control the drift line using the front tires.

 


*Throttle off or braking. The anti-torque effect from the front drives will force the front end of the chassis downward.

 

This system was developed as a result of drifting with 1/1 cars and applying such complex and costly mechanism to the Re-R Hybrid.

 

 

1/10 RC scale relative to 1/1, the weight ratio is about 1/1000, and the balance between the power and tire grip is not comparable. Althought the mechanism is not similar, this Weight-shift control "System" is to emulate the same control and feel of a 1/1.

It is key to 'link' your 1/1 feel to 1/10 RC by controlling the weight shift.

 

 

Control your Weight-shift!
