Four types of surfaces — the same course, different grip

The biggest feature of Forest Coaster is,the surface is not one typeIn a single lap, the next four are scattered. You need to change acceleration, deceleration, and lines for each section. It’s truly a ‘Forest Coaster’.

Red Soil

On dry days, grip comes out easily, making it an area where you can attack corners. After rain, the surface becomes smooth and the rear wheels are prone to slipping, so be careful.

Black soil

Water-absorbing heavy soil. Tires grip easily, traction is good, but it’s easy to get stuck in deep ruts. Excessive power can cause wheel spin.

River sand

Fine gravel mixed with a bright surface. It rolls well and is fast, but braking distances are longer. The difference is especially noticeable when landing before and after jumps.

Peat moss

A soft section mixed with fallen leaves and organic matter. Grip is unstable, and even light operation can significantly change the posture. This area best represents the forest atmosphere.

Driving Tips

Observe the color and texture of the surface,Predict grip of the next sectionis the shortcut to improvement. Before completing a full lap, make sure to do the following:transmitter practice areaIt is recommended to grasp the basics of operation and check the feel of each surface on the flat track loop before challenging the main course.

transmitter practice area — First step for super beginners

Lap — Get used to transmitter operation

Driving around the outside of the tire. Accelerator, brake, and steeringbasic operations onlycan be concentrated on. For those who are touching a radio control for the first time, please spend about 10 minutes here.

Figure-eight driving — Learn left and right operation

Practice Flow

transmitter practice area → Flat Turtle Loop → Main Course (approximately 50 seconds) of order is recommended. Take your time and clear them one by one.

Beginner & Rally Flat Loop

You can loop around part of the course.Beginner & Rally Flat LoopThere is. After getting used to basic operations in the transmitter practice area, let’s move on to handling practice before entering the entire course (about 50 seconds) on a relatively flat dirt road.

Step 1 — Practice on the Flat Dirt Loop

Repeat driving around a relatively flat dirt section. You can focus on basic operations of the accelerator, brake, and steering wheel. For first-timers,10〜15 minutes hereis OK.

Step 2 — Drift Practice with Rally Cars

Rally cars (MF-01X, TT-02 series, etc.) arebest suited for looping around the flat dirt loop.

Step 3 — Challenge all courses

Once you’re confident with the controls, head to the main course. There are hills and four types of terrain waiting for you. Don’t push yourself too hard; take a break every few laps by returning to the flat dirt loop or the transmitter practice area.

Steering wheel front straight — Multi-stage jump

The straight ahead of the steering wheel is,Multi-stage jumpA popular section with jumps lined up. You can enjoy it in your own way, depending on your machine’s performance and your mood that day.

Go all out: Accelerate from the first stage and gradually jump higher. For powerful buggies and SCTs.

Gently clear:Clear by touching the jump platform with the ground. A stable driving method for rally or soft suspension.
