Definition: On an RC track, a washboard is a series of evenly or unevenly spaced bumps or moguls. The name comes from the resemblance to the bumps on an old-fashioned washboard used for scrubbing clothes. A washboard is typically found along straightaways on an RC track.
Also Known As: whoops | whoop-de-do | moguls
