I defiantly am noticing the certain cars dig better on the lr and behave like more I independent like the split cage. What are some things people are doing to help with the unloading from the chain and creating the dig effect. Running the lrf shock on the center of the housing helping? I just assumed they have worked around the rules now and figured out something better than the standard lr setup
Swing arm.
Aww....Come'on'Man!
New ideas could actually be applied here and fix some of the design issues. Too bad it ain't legal...Quote:

The unified rules do not allow new swing arm cars. At least not the original release. Lucas does allow.Quote:

I will also point out that if somebody does recreate majic, it will not be explained or discussed by them on here.
You mean you wouldn't post drawings? LolQuote:

Which rulebook? The section I posted for UMP/WOO specifically says must be 4 link for construction of a new car.Quote:

If you read the portion you alluded to literally it sounds like swing arm is illegal, but if you read everything included in the rules it sounds as though it is legal. I understand they list "4 link" as the common suspension but I'm wondering if that is meaning 4 separate links, not 4 links facing forward. I sent them an email and I'm waiting to hear back. They sound so proud of themselves in their collective movement to abolish everything. This is why I opposed WRG from the beginning, too much centralized power and the average racer with "NO" say.
Are you not aware of what a live axle is?
What was the general purpose of the rumley device?
Don't hold your breath on getting a response to your email. I tried asking them to explain what the interior rule about being level across from 20" on back (or whatever the number/verbiage is) means, because I don't see many (if any) cars that have level interior except at the firewall and spoiler. But I emailed them four years ago, so maybe they've just been busy.
Yes, an axle that drives thru both rear wheels simultaneously and evenly. We had to run "Live Axles" in karting, no differentiating power to one wheel over the other, equal power delivered to both sides.Quote:
