The Bashing Guide

What is RC bashing?

Driving radio-controlled cars is a hobby enjoyed by many people around the world, both children and adults alike. There are several categories of enthusiasts: competitors who race against each other and amateurs who modify their cars without any restrictions. All RC car fans have thought about pushing their cars to their limits to see how fast and how far they can go. This is called bashing. RC bashing involves driving your RC car at full speed without following any rules.

Racing involves a professional track, rules, regulations, and intentions. You don't drive an RC car just for fun, but rather to win. During a competition, you avoid at all costs going off the track and damaging the vehicle. This doesn't mean that bashing involves intentionally destroying your precious RC car, but rather driving without worrying about the consequences. Be careful, though, because this practice requires you to be interested in the mechanics of your car so that you can repair it in case of damage.

You can be both a competitor and a basher: these two activities are compatible. Bashing is simply a freer version of racing that allows players to fully enjoy the experience of their RC car! Between these two extremes, there are many cautious modelers who enjoy driving their cars freely, but take care not to damage them.

What are the characteristics of a good car for bashing?

When looking to buy an RC model for bashing, there are several things you need to keep in mind, including robustness.

1. A sturdy, easy-to-maintain car

Since you will be racing your RC car without following any rules or regulations, it is very likely that it will take a few knocks and get damaged. It is therefore essential to look for a sturdy and durable car that can withstand a few knocks without falling apart. In addition, it should be easy to maintain so that you can repair it easily. 2

. Choose durability over lightness

RC competitors tend to look for a lightweight vehicle that can go faster. Bashing enthusiasts, on the other hand, will do the opposite. For bashing, it is better to choose a heavier car, as extra weight makes it more durable. 3

. Look for good ground clearance

Models intended for RC bashing should have good ground clearance,car as you will probably be using them on rough terrain.

4. Choose a battery with good

battery life You can't go bashing without a certain amount of battery life. The higher the mAh (3300, 4000, 5000, etc.), the longer the car will run. So when choosing a battery, go for one with a high mAh. You can also bring spare batteries to extend your driving time.
