    Ranger, just did the above and I have 1/2 lead in RS wheelbase already with the rear steer at 1" it shortened 1/16 and at 2" it shortened up an 1/8th. At 3" it shortened 3/16" so everry inch was a 1/16th. I'm not sure that I am getting enough. Every 2 turns on the trailing arm was an 1/8th or...

    Awesome. Thank you! What do I need to do to figure the under steer and oversteer? Is there a formula as well?

    Okay, I just measured the car and have a 67" wheel centre to centre. Through that formula it works out to 37 3/4 inches from rr centreline. That is 4 1/4" left of centre. Mine is mounted exactly 36 3/4 right now. Does this sound right? Haha.

    You have it right. That's exactly what I am doing. And okay I won't move that. The 3rd link I am not sure. I'll have to measure tonight. I just want to be very careful because I am extremely good from landing to roll and I am making a lot of my passes by cutting under guys through that...

    Thank you for the response! Our rules allow 50% rear and 56.5 left so I'm kind of stuck there. Where you talking about snubbers and the like when you said keep the trailing arm angles the same and use spring loaded arms? Maybe you could go into detail on that a bit? I will put rear weight to...

    Ranger Mike the last 10 nights of reading this has been fantastic. Thank you. I run a late model on a 1/3 mile banked asphalt track. 8 inch Hoosier. My car is a '14 port city chassis. I'm a front runner but points are real tight and we have 15 cars that can win any weekend. The best field of...
