This is a 4WD and 4WS.
4WS in an RC car refers to “Four Wheel Steering.” This feature allows the RC car to steer not only with the front wheels but also with the rear wheels. The addition of rear wheel steering can enhance the car’s maneuverability and agility, providing better control in certain situations. Here’s a breakdown of the key points regarding 4WS in RC cars:
Like traditional RC cars, 4WS vehicles have front wheel steering. The front wheels are controlled by the steering mechanism, allowing the car to turn left or right as the operator commands.
In addition to front wheel steering, 4WS systems enable the rear wheels to turn in the same or opposite direction as the front wheels. This can be achieved through a separate servo mechanism responsible for controlling the rear wheel steering.
4WS enhances the overall maneuverability of the RC car. By steering both front and rear wheels, the car can execute sharper turns and navigate through tight spaces more effectively. This can be particularly advantageous in racing scenarios or when precision control is required.
