My new handmade RC10 sway bars

Post by roether82 »

Anyone do anything similar or better. I'm always looking to improve. This car is a runner, and it is beginning to hold its own with the B4's on the clay.

So do the sway bars really make a difference how it drives? I have never ran a car with them!

Are the sway bar ends Dual Sport parts? I want to add front and rear sway bars to my DIRT Modified project.

I think the sway bars made a big difference at the track, especially the rear one. The links I used are B44, but I' pretty sure they are the same as the B4.

What improvements have you noticed at the track by adding the sway bars? Looks cool!

The clay track I run on is very sticky, so when going through corners, the rear inside tire would lift up and cause a roll. That problem has been alleviated now. The car was much faster around the track and much more manageable.

That's a very nice setup. I'll have to look into doing something like that with the RPM arms. Thanks for the pics.
