Tips & knowledge item

"Dead Zone" It's the key added: 09.05.2014

Category: Recommendation     Views: 7664     Rating:    


A very helpful control option setting I have found crucial to straight line "Feel" Is the "Steering Dead Zone" . When starting out with VRC you might find it much easier to set up your corner entry by going into "Control Option's" then Click on "customize" The default setting for Steering dead zone is 5%...But for most people this setting is very re-active especially with 1/12th scale ...It has been my experience that 4% for touring car's and as much as 7% for 1/12th gives me a much less reactive initial steering allowing me to hold a more consistent line and therefore Lap time... Please rate this Tip if you find it has helped you..And "Enjoy your racing" :-)

In a real radio there is no dead zone in the sterring, so, i use it as low as possible: 0 dead zone in the radio and 2 in a joypad/controller.

I prefer instead a bit of dead zone in throttle, just like i prefer it in a real rc car.

Once find out what feel best, no need to change this setting anymore.
