A arm vs straight axle.

<< < (2/2)

Scott Krieger:
When I built my daughters Front Engine car I went with bolt on A arms. So I could set the car up with 0" roll-out, 1" roll-out or 2" roll-out.

So at 0" roll-out, I added tabs 1" back to move the A arms on one side back. On the other side of the car I added tabs 1" forward.

We mostly bracket race in the Pro no-E class with a .500 full tree here at LVMS. So we need the 2" roll-out.
If we run the .400 pro tree I set the car up with 0" roll-out.

Also we run 25" fronts on the .500 full tree leaving in second gear with a turbo 400. When racing .400 pro tree I put on your normal 17" fronts and leave in first gear.

I would never ever use a electronic delay aid as a crutch for the driver. As I have way to much fun bringing the car to her.
When she raced Jr.s I had a straight axle front end that I could set-up anywhere from 0" to 2" roll-out


Good luck.
