Re: TXT High speed shimmy and front end parts
I guess what I meant was, if we use the jig proposed by Sportcoupe, where should the 1/8" (or whatever) be measured from?

It is an angle that is constant, so each additional inch away from hub center would add just over ten thousandths more toe-in as measured at that point, if we were 1/8"(.125) at 12" On carts, we just need the stability, not performance per say, so my guess is that it may be hard to tell diffc between 1/8" and 1/16...at 3/16+ though, you will certainly start to slow cart and increase tire wear. Hope this helps... |

Re: TXT High speed shimmy and front end parts
Thanks. Took six quarters of calculus, but never took trig. Victim of public schools, before Georgia Tech.

Re: TXT High speed shimmy and front end parts
LOL...I never doubted your smarts...but as an NC State man, I now see a friendly rivalry emerging, lol...at the end of the day, I don't think we need Trig or Calc to work on these carts, just patience mostly :-)...and of course all the helpful insight we get from our friends on this forum...

Re: TXT High speed shimmy and front end parts
I need to do my toe tonight, with the new PQ, Reverse Contactors and the move to 48V the least bit out is enhanced. I think my tires are out of round.

Re: TXT High speed shimmy and front end parts
It's been said in many other posts, but I'll repeat it for those who may have missed. If the buggy sits quietly for several days, or weeks, the tires seem to develop flat spots, and are bumpier when you first hop in. May be more noticeable on some tires than others. I noticed it the other day, after talking about it, and it seemed to go away as soon as the tires warmed up.

Re: TXT High speed shimmy and front end parts
I see that as well. Living in Arizona and the temps are high and even higher in the garage where my buggy lives it is not as bad I suppose as other states in a colder climate.
Using mine everyday... except for the last week when the controller was at Alltrax... it should not be that bad but I can lean out and see the change in the diameter. I need to work with the tire pressure and see what works best. Not sure what the max pressure is that they can take but I will dig around and see what I can find. |
