In Rc car’s world anyone will not become a skill driver if you just running on an open surface. You are advice to practice on a circuit, because running your electric rc car on a circuit or track is totally difference compare to running your electric rc car on an open surface or running just straight, and only practicing or driving on a circuit will improve your driving skill.

In this case of entering curves without reducing speed, your car is force to slow down before finishing corners to lose speed and stability. In the worst cases, your electric rc car might spin or run off the track. It also gets your electric rc car moving too late to pick up speed. Slow-in and fast-out is important rule in controlling speed in curve. Briefly you should control speed in “slow-in and fast-out manner. As a result “slow-in and fast-out” is the fastest way to take corners.
Out-in-out cornering.
As in illustrated, a way of taking corner from outside line of a track into inside line to which your electric rc car come closer to the center of the corner ( clipping point ) and finishing the corner back to the outside line, try to making the longest possible the turning radius. By using the full width of the track, your electric rc car will make an easier turn than the actual corner. This will allow your electric rc car to run through the turns faster.
In some cases, it’s may be better to set the clipping point a slightly after the center of the corner, because it enable your electric rc car accelerate early.
