Re: Make it handle

If you have an idea, sooner or later you need to test it out to see if it works. Otherwise, it's just a guess of somekind. My Silver Bullit effie (don't hate on it) looses a bit of traction into and out of the corners, and thats something I've been working on. So, I had this idea. The panhard rod is a typical one. Urathane adjuster on one end, and a rod end on the other. Needless to say, it doesn't give much. I can fell the weight shift going into the corners and right as the wieght fully shifts over, the tires loose a bit of traction. So I started to think of ways to load the tire softly. I see these 'bisquit' torque rods that the dirt oval guys run, typically on the top link of a three link, to ease in the torque load on acceleration. Hmmm, could I use this on the panhard rod? Here is the Speedway torque rod next to my panhard rod.
