Trailing vs A-Arm

Quote

Post by cyberded » Tue Jan 12, 2010 1:27 pm

hi guy's i was wondering what difference does the trailing arm makes on the track.ive always run cars whit a-arm and i wonder if it does make more or less
traction.i know that it must have less side bite because of the lack of camber gain but how about forward bite does the car squat and spin or does once
spring and damping taken care of everything is good.also how does it jump?

thanks in advance

Work in progress.
Chassis from Jeff ´Factory Works`
Scorpion rear arms and wheels
Original 6 gear.
I´m not sure about the nosepiece but it was old and black to begin with :-)
Rest is RC10 Classic parts, with a little help from an Ultima RB6

Many Thanks for the kind words.
ummmm, Apple Pie... Now I´m lusting for cake :mrgreen:
And Yes, they´re Scorpion wheels.

Through my eBay fun, I have ended up with a spare set of trailing arms set up (Andy's/S&K) and have this question to the guys who have actually run trailing arms....

What does it do to the handling of the car? Too much rear traction, making the car...

I think you will find that most molded graphite tubs will lack the strength for a suspension mount of that variety. Specifically, I think you will have to grind off the edge of the tub to get the suspension block to fit, and I don't think the...

I have been wanting to start a project to race on a large MX style track predominantly used by 1/8 cars and trucks. I love the way a trailing arm car runs and handles. The track is loose and rough with huge jumps. It will be a 10th scale buggy built...

Last post

What I found with my trailingarm racer was that it's difficult to get enough suspension travel without running into extreme angle or angle changes.
I Think the solution would be to use longer arms but don't have the tools to make something descent.

Why have I bought this :? I think it's because you guys kept snapping them up so I figure they must be a decent deal. I have no donor parts left to build it so I'm going to have to start all over again, this one could be a real long drawn out...

So I says to myself ... Self, wouldn't it be nice to try a trailing arm RC10 at the '09 VONats? Of course it would, but I don't want to run a typical chassis conversion which are getting harder and harder to find. Wouldn't it be nice to try...

I got a car and a box full of parts from a local racer at our track. The car is A&L trailing arm car from very late 1980's or early 1990's, but he couldn't remember the exact year when he had last time raced it. The car itself is not in very good...

Man that pile of parts sure did end up being one sweet low slung racer. Killer build, about as trick as it gets.

Greetings,

I'm new to the forum but not new to the hobby. I began racing before the release of the RC10 and have raced every version since it's release. It's great to see the interest in the vintage cars! Unfortunately, I tossed all my equipment...

Apparently Duratrax 2.2 wheels for the Evader will fit too, they have the correct offset and are readily available from Tower. The plastic isn't as nice as the current wheels but probably good enough. I haven't tried them yet, still deciding if I...

I found a set of new Houge trailing arms in my parts box. Do I need a special chassis or will a conventional chassis drilled properly work (like a gold or black tub)?

Last post
