Rear Track Width:
Distance from the rear pod the tires are mounted. This is
accomplished using spacers on the axle located between the bearing and the hubs.
Moving the Right Rear away from the pod will increase steering in the center of the turn
and exiting while decreasing forward bite off the turn. Moving the Right Rear closer to
the pod will increase forward bite thru the center of the turn and especially while exiting.
The opposite can be said for the location of the left rear. Mounting the left rear close to the
pod will increase steering thru the center of the turn and decrease forward bite off the turn,
while mounting it further from the pod will increase stability and forward bite while
cornering.
Rear Pod (On-Center or Offset):
Mounting the pod “on-center” positions the motor
(which is the majority of the weight of the rear pod) pretty much center in the rear pod and
generally works best in wide open type driving classes like stock. Mounting the pod “off-
set” places the motor closer to the left rear tire and helps keep the left rear tire planted
during acceleration and works well in modified classes.
T-Plate (On-Center or Offset):
Unique to this car is the
option to run the t-bar offset from the center-line of the car.
Along with offsetting the t-bar the rear shock tower and
shocks also offset creating even more left side weight on
the chassis. This feature works well for flat tracks and
especially modified classes when getting the power to the
ground is critical.
Rear Steer:
This feature allows you to run the axle straight in the car or angled ½ degree
so that the rear helps turn the car in the same fashion as four wheel steering. This option
works best on tracks where you are constantly turning and when forward bite off the turn is
not a problem.
Rear Wing:
To increase traction to the rear of the car wings can be mounted to the rear
window of the body for foam tire racing or directly to the rear pod for cap tire racing.
Generally every class of pan car racing uses a rear wing, with the exception of stock
classes on very high bite tracks since the wing is extra weight and aero drag. On banked
tracks the wing is mounted very flat and below the roof of the car so that just the side
dams of the wing keep the car stable at high speeds. On flat tracks the wing is mounted at
least even with the roof height of the car and angled up almost as much as the angle of
the front window of the body.
