Thread: Electrathon - A Different Kind of "Hotrod"

Tweet

Yup,like any good hot rod,gets the most out of your tires by having balance. In this 3 wheel car it was designed to,and had 33.3% on each of the 3 wheels with driver and bats in it,when ya leaned into the turn 15% was added to inside front wheel and 15% removed from out side front by as you see drivers body mass and center frame rolled over to inside when on the scales. The front wheel/tires would gain camber on the out side and lost camber on the inside of corner as the main body and rear wheel would gain camber as well in turn . This also droped side spoke load a lot.
FOR FULL SIZE RODS;
If ya don't have scales; A trick you can use on you'alls 4 wheel hot rods that can help the bite,find the dead center of rear axle and with a 6in. or so long angle iron point up on top of your jack placed front to back of rear,at the center point jack rear tires off the ground with driver in car=see if both tires clear ground close to same time,if not=the low wheel has too many lbs. adjusted on to it.see if ya can get it close [with in about 2in. at lest] a cross rear and that will also make front good and better braking
