## What is RC Bench?

RC Bench is the first AI-powered setup management platform built for RC car racers. Whether you run electric or nitro, off-road, RC Bench gives you professional tools to dial in your car, track your car maintenance, and share setups with your team.

SETUP MANAGEMENT
Create and save detailed setups for multiple chassis including HB Racing, Tekno, XRAY, and more. Every parameter is covered: suspension geometry, shock positions, camber, toe, ride height, springs, differentials, and tires. Compare setups side-by-side to see what works at different tracks.

AI SETUP ASSISTANT
Chat with an AI tuning assistant trained on RC racing knowledge and your specific vehicle. Describe your track conditions and handling issues, and get actionable recommendations. The AI understands setup relationships across all chassis types using normalized 0-100% values, so advice works regardless of what car you run.

TIRE DATABASE
Browse a comprehensive tire database with brands, models, and compounds. Filter by surface type (clay, dirt, carpet, astro, asphalt), tread pattern, and grip level. Find the right tire for your conditions without guesswork.

GEAR RATIO CALCULATOR
Calculate final drive ratio, gear reduction, rollout distance, and estimated top speed. Supports 32P and Mod1 pitch. Includes preset gearing options for popular drivetrain configurations and a motor specs database.

ESC TUNING GUIDE
AI-powered Electronic Speed Controller tuning assistance. Get brand-specific programming help for Hobbywing, Cayote, Tekin, and more. Covers throttle curves, brake settings, motor timing, and thermal management.

MAINTENANCE TRACKER
Never miss a rebuild again. Track service intervals for shocks, differentials, bearings, drivetrain, and more. Log runtime per chassis and get alerts when components are due for service. Pre-configured templates for common maintenance tasks.

TEAM COLLABORATION
Create a team and invite fellow racers with a simple invite code. Share your proven setups with teammates and clone setups to use as a starting point. Work together on race strategy.

RACE DAY TOOLS
Log track conditions, surface type, temperature, and weather for every session. Record tire temperatures and performance notes. Build a data history to reference next time you visit a track.
