[Reidy02]

Damn Phil you were move'n there, looks good Mate! The machine seemed to handle it well. Who had the fastest time? There'd be different classes yeah? Were you the fastest in your class? Apart from that, it's a credit to ya Bud, you've done a great job, you should be proud!! Good on ya!!! Also I noticed ya arms were fairly move'n too! Is it a bit of a job ta keep it in a straight line?

hey jet, what fly wheel and starter are you using for your reverse? and does it work good? maybe a video?

[Jet]

Massive job to keep it straight!
It's a Custom made Disc and the starter motor is out of a common Rice burner.
It get's the job done!

Cheers
Phil

Did you laser cut the disk or machine it?  What do you mean massive job to keep it straight?

[Jet]

Lasercut then hardened.

It's hard to put your foot right down and keep the buggy pointing straight, the rear wheel's like overtaking the front wheels quiet frequently 

[Reidy02]

Was that one ya sold Artie hardened too?

Is your suspension square with the frame? If it's even a tiny bit off it will make the car try to swap ends .

Have you had it four wheel aligned Jet?
How's your weight distribution? If you've got significantly more weight over one of the rear wheels, that one will grip better than the other and try to turn you around...

Tire pressure, especially atv type tires running low PSI,  you can turn circles.

[Jet]

No it wasn't, but dont worry, it doesnt really need it.

Yes everything is square, and yes the wheels are aligned etc, the wheel pressure is interesting tho?

I just wheel spin alot, it doesn't literally try to overtake on a straight line, but going 160+ km/h it moves around a little bit.

[chrishallett83]

I guess if you're doing a dollar sixty and the tyres are doing two hundred bucks plus, the back end will tend to follow the contours of the terrain you're on...

That is one sick video! That looks like a hell of a narrow track! I didn't realize the cuda was that squirley, but it makes sense with the HP you are running. BTW, I have watched your brookton video about 100 times! Sweet cuda!
