Front engine digger wheelie bars

<< < (2/7) > >>

rooman:
Look at the top of any page here and you can see the bars on Glenn and Anne's car. Roughly 6' long and set at about 2" up just as Jon suggested.

Scottmech:
I run no bars, but use a shift timer as a learning device when changing combos.

In beginning, set up shift timer to shift almost immediately, then keep lengthening shift time till front end comes up. Then make changes to car to keep front down (weight, tire pressures, launch rpm, etc...).

JrFuel Hayden:
Heritage JrFuel is no allowed to run either a timed or RPM controlled shifter, driver controlled shifters only, also no delay or thottle controls.
I guess that's bracket racing, not heads-up racing.

tcoupekyle:
What's the advantages or disadvantages of single wheel vs. Double wheel?

JrFuel Hayden:
I may get a disagreement , but most fast cars I've seen run a single wheel WB, two could cause the car to steer. I've found a flexablr 3 tube set around 2" off track works best.
Now I've seen RED set their WB higher off the track, but they have worked more on moving the ballast around to end up with a better balanced car.

Call if you have anymore questions.
