RC Bench vs JRC Trackside

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. SUBSCRIPTION TIERS Free - 2 saved setups, 3 AI questions per day, basic tire info, and the gear ratio calculator.

A fast run you can't explain. A slow one you can't rule out. Ten runs a day, three changes a run, and by the A-main nobody remembers which change worked. Trackside does. ASK THE ENGINEER It already has your runs, changes and lap times — so ask the way you'd ask the guru at the track. “Car feels loose on exit of the long left, but only after the first four laps.” The answer comes from your own setups and laps, not the internet. HOW IT KNOWS YOUR CAR • Lap times arrive by themselves once the timing system posts them • Between rounds, note the change you made and how the car felt • Missed a few? Bring in the whole day from the timing site afterwards • Every set of tyres counts its runs, and shows how its pace has changed since new WHAT EVERY CHANGE DID Every setup change is marked on the timeline next to what it did to your pace. No more “I think that helped.” Pace, consistency and fade for every run, and your laps against the field or any rival, lap by lap. THE WEEKEND ON ONE PAGE When the meeting's over, the debrief lays it out: your best laps, how the car felt run to run, what the tyres did, and every change you made from the start. YOUR SETUP SHEET, ON YOUR PHONE Fill in your chassis's own setup sheet, box by box, and compare any two setups to see exactly what's different. Every setup you run is kept, so you can always go back to the one that worked. And when you want to go deeper, the roll centre and geometry tools are there. RACE AS A TEAM Put your team's runs in one place — same car, same track, same day — and the right direction becomes obvious. Shared inside the team. Nothing leaves it. BUILT BY RACERS Built with 18 years of motorsport experience — state, national and world champion across multiple racing disciplines. It exists because nothing like it did, and it's tuned at the track every week. Try the demo first: a whole driver's season, ready to explore. What you can use with your own account depends on its plan.
