Front Engine Dragsters / Front Tires Popping out of the Beams.
« on: April 22, 2021, 06:12:03 PM »
So my Front Engine Dragster had problems with wheel hop. I made a bunch of chassis changes, went through 5 different tire combinations and added more bars in the chassis an finally the got that issue resolved. But.... Now it pops the front tires out of the beams.
So I have moved the battery from the middle and put it up in the nose. I had some weight on the nose and moving the battery up there will have a net increase of about 15 Lbs on the nose and hope it helps. May have to add another weight plate up there. One other thing that is related is this dragster does not seem to steer good at the finish line under full power. I think front end is simply too light. Do not like adding weight but need to do something.
Anything else I can do to help keep it from popping out of the Beams?
I am going to lower the Two Step a few hundred and see if that helps. My car is now hooking up pretty good but I need to stop the popping out of beams.
