I'm not really sure what you what to know?sway bars increase the roll resistance or roll rate they have no effect on the ride rate the way that set up is it may even decrease roll resistance ,maybe who ever designed this wanted to do that or may be he or she thought it looked goodthere is one main difference between black track and off road cars and its where we get traction from ,black track its in the surface and the cars use whats available, off road the tyres create traction using cutting edges ( any thing that stick out off you wheel) and vertical load This is the main reason you don't see as many sway bars in off road we genrally want the ride rate to be close to the roll rate as we need weight transfer At the end of the day it comes down to the rubber on the road and every thing we do is to make it stick betterbut as usual nothings ever that simple if you want more info on how they use the third spring on the black stuff ill have to do a sketch as theres not to many good pics out there (they don't like people getting close ups lol)
seems to be based on the third spring idea that a lot of aero cars run and formula vees it increase the ride rate but not the roll rate ,but its not a sway bar at all
Yup, that extra shock on the RC car will do absolutely nothing for roll control. Extra spring rate yes.
