INTRODUCTIONI have written this book for entry to expert level IMCA Sportmod racer. Most of the initial information provided is just a guide and derived from talking with chassis builders, successful racers, conducting years of research, attending various chassis schools and our own trial and error at the track. Not all racers will agree with everything in this guide, but we believe in it and reading and applying the information will help you to maximize your racing results. This book will teach you how setup changes on an IMCA Sportmod will affect the cars handling on the track. There is no one change that will make every car fast, but understanding how each change affects a cars handling is the first step in getting faster and making it to victory lane. The key to being successful on the race track is getting your setup as close as possible in the shop, adjusting your cars handling to the current track conditions and then adjusting your driving style to maximize traction through all areas of the race track. The driver job is to maximize the limited traction a dirt car has on the dynamic changing race track conditions.

Don't just make it fast-make it state-of-the-art. Comprehensive and fully illustrated, this technical guide covers all aspects of setup and design for dirt track racing.

Over the past three years slot cars have become one of the fastest-growing segments of the hobby industry.

The Full Course RCT book will help you avoid the trial-and-error approach to chassis setup. It will teach you sound, proven technology that is both easy to understand and easy to use, so you can set up your race car in the shop and see the positive results on the track immediately, with very little tweaking. What follows is a common-sense approach to chassis setup, vehicle dynamics and race-car design, founded on solid engineering theory. However, you will need to have an open mind, and be willing to accept new ideas that may go against previous chassis setup thinking. Just to make it clear, the technology presented here applies to all race cars, from quarter midgets to Formula One and everything in between. This book tends to lean towards stock car racing because it represents most of the world's automobile racing.
