Illegal Lower A-Frame (RTI Knowledge Center)

We decided to make this video because we came across an illegal lower a-Frame. This lower could possibly make the car illegal at a big race and get you disqualified. Guys be sure you know what your putting on your car! These parts can very from one store to another.

This knowledge is something that I personally believe will benefit a lot of people.. especially my stubborn dad who is stuck in old ways of thinking..

It all comes out when front end adjustment are made, no big deal.

[@joe-hp4nk]

Just stick with stock Aframes and upgrade the bushings.

Lowers control the front end geometry and car handling; not a place to skimp !

You hit that right on the nail! VERY IMPORTANT!

THIS MESSAGE IS FOR R.T.I...IF your car is really loose on entry how do you fix it?? My answer was to pick up the throttle quickly and roll it on as you go through the middle.. it feels like you are going to spin out though and my dad waits a bit too long and it costs him a lot of momentum?? Anyone have a answer for this?? He comes off the corner like a rocket 🚀 but he definitely has issues with the entry and it then messes up the middle so he is basically crawling through the middle nobody is helping him except for a guy who happens to have a Harris chassis but we can't solve the loose in. . And then he seems to get faster as the race goes on.. kinda starts fast goes backwards and then ends up picking off guys one or two at a time as the race goes on...

Hello Tim, Our recommendation would be to check the amount of trail the rear end has. If there is any cut that back a little. Also moving the rear end to the left 1/8" at a time could help as well. Its really hard to say though without seeing the car in person or on the track. Thanks!

@@racetechinfo1 is 14 to 20 pounds of split or left rear bite too little for a dry slick setup?

[@tim4cn759]

Does anyone ever move their pull bar from right to left on the rear end and the frame mounts?? And is 14 pounds of bite too low of a number?? I think the right rear spring is a 225 and the left is a 200? How much left rear bite is standard for a dry gritty pretty flat track.. small 3/8 mile semi banked track ?? R.T.I any ideas 💡 for me??
