    Default Any new theories on replicating the LR design within the new rules

    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 is legal, well it was the last rules I read, what R you talking about MR? You just yanking my chain or something... Do you mean new ideas aren't legal? Your right, its illegal to have a unique thought, both in politics and DLM racing.

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

    I will also point out that if somebody does recreate majic, it will not be explained or discussed by them on here.

    From what I read swing arm/pull bar setup is legal, only issue I read is 90/10 must go forward, which is BS. Thought it was funny "live axel" is now illegal, not sure rule makers even know how a race car works or what the parts are. LOL.

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

    I believe you are correct if referencing Lucas rules.

    Here is the link to the WoO Unified Rules.
    http://www.woolms.com/images/stories...onBulletin.pdf

    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?

    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.

    It corrected an inherent flaw in the 4 link rear suspension that hindered traction.
