hey @rangermike had another question for you about rear axle "placement" if we want to call it that. With the panhard bar set on an angle which ever direction a person sets it at for their particular setup, when the body of the car rolls over and loads the axle either pushing down on or pulling...

ok lots to take in here for sure. First step will be to fix the heavy sway bar for sure. That makes sense if we are rolling too far and losing contact patch on the front via camber gain which then causes a push scenerio. Now if i understand correctly, if we are rolling too far and unloading the...

excellent thank you again. The sway we did unhook one weekend so it was just along for the ride, that's when we realized we needed lighter springs in it as we were still pushing on exit without the bar. I believe the bar (don't quote me) is 1.375" with 0.125 wall and approx. 12" long arms...

ok cool cool thank you. hopefully we can get sway up here before it turns too cold and we have to wait till spring to test. Thanks again.

Would rear toe out seriously affect drive off traction? i have not had a chance to investigate if the rear axle is bent as of yet. but the last round of testing we did there was zero traction once the gas pedal was touched. It didn't matter the stagger we had we tested everything from 1" up to...

excellent, thank you. Ive also purchased the one book that i didnt have that you suggesed in the first post. "Tune to win" very good book so far. Being that we are roundy rounds and not road course its not all applicable but all great info just the same so thanks for pointing me in the right...

hey there @Ranger Mike any thoughts on the stagger dillema with this buggy?

also what are a couple of recommended books for tuning of these cars?

Hey thanks for the reply. sway is way too heavy we have a white bar 500# if the book is correct, i will drop that down asap if i can find one quick before the end of hte season. we have zero ackerman, i am planning on putting some in tonight, have to hog out the spindle for a slug as we are not...

@Ranger Mike wow one hell of a thread going on here, well done sir. i am hoping that someone can point me in to the right time line as im sure it has been covered here already. I am hoping to find some info on spring rates and expected shock travel for a 3000# ashfault latemodel on a flat (7...
