RC Crew Chief

Even if you do not have the knowledge to build it, designing your own race car or buggy can be a very rewarding experience. Considering that the number two main focuses are to obtain maximum acceleration and ensure driver safety, you need all the help you can get.

RC Crew Chief is a lightweight piece of software that allows you to create the setup you want for the vehicle you are racing with, all complete with shock angles, springs, anti-roll bars, roll centers, shock pistons and engine that can make it all happen.

The program comes with an outdated, yet user-friendly and organized interface that is very unlikely to give you any troubles. You can effortlessly get started with the design from the main window by accessing any of the five managers available, namely Car, Chassis, Battery, Motor and ESC.

As you probably noticed from browsing through the car manager function, the application is mainly designed around the 1/10 scale sedans. On the other hand, it is worth mentioning that the physics used in the 4WD cars apply to any RC vehicle that supports independent suspensions.

The utility provides you with an impressive amount of tools for creating your custom chassis. You can set up the front and rear suspensions using specifications such as camber, tire width, ride height, tire diameter, track width and droop.

At the same time, you can perform simulations and find out whether the acceleration or the breaking system are capable of providing the performance you aim for the competition. If you have not decided yet about which motor would be most suitable for your vehicle, then you should keep in mind that you can compare them via the app's built-in utility.

In the eventuality that you have decided to design your own setup for the sedan that you intend to participate in competitions with, then RC Crew Chief can help you tweak the chassis exactly how you want and get instant feedback regarding the equipment you install.
