#ADJUST CROSS WEIGHT WITHOUT CHANGING RIDE HEIGHT DRIVER#
So the without driver numbers are useless to share with another team unless they have a driver of similar weight.Īlso, the way the way the driver sits in the car will adjust the numbers also. Well if we give another team the x% "without driver" number and they set their car up to that, when their 120 lbs driver climbs in, it's probably not going to be z% like ours come out to. driver climbs in it's going to change to z% or our "with driver" number. So say our "without driver" cross is x% but when our 70 lbs. That way if there's ever a time we need to get it back to certain numbers and he's not able to make it to the garage we can get it done.īut, a without driver set up isn't going to translate the exact same to another car if the driver weighs a different amount. When we test and hit a good setup, we throw it on the scales and record the number with the driver and then have him hop out and record the numbers that correspond to that without him in the car. So we knew what the without driver number was. (mostly because he lives out of town.) But we also scaled it without a driver after calibrating it to the baseline we were using. When we initially scaled our car at the start of the season we found enough objects to stick in the cockpit to match his weight.

And you can EASILY change the ride height when you want to (not on the fly like air bags) when you decide it is too high or too low. Get the weights, shocks, springs right then check the ride heights. All you can do is make the car too loose or tight and ask the driver to adjust untill you can get the right size tire on the car. I have to tell you, though, stagger problems can't be fixed with weight jacking. Just mess with it on the scales untill you get a feel for what a turn into or out of a spring does. Put a little in the RF,take a little off of the other three.
Ride heights just tell you how much the chassis is twisting. Since implanting steel tubes in their chest makes them squirm, you have to deal with this other stuff. The needed triangulation of the chassis would go about through the sternum of the driver. Ride height is not much of a consideration on these cars as the tortional strenghth is low.
Gen 2 shocks,can someone rebuild and get them back to me in a week,we race Kokomo next Sat. I have 13 across the rear,how do I get the front even without changing ride height,I will mess with it!!!
