Roll Centers Explained in layman's terms!

We discuss how to locate the roll centers with a diagram, and how to change the location of the roll center by moving the camber links.

I watched a bunch of videos on roll center and this is the one that made it click. Thank you.

Ya know what.... I appreciate you taking the time to put this together. Your time is not free, but obviously, people's opinions are. This is helpful regardless of people's opinions!

Thank you for the video. Well done! I understand it better than other videos out there.

[@62Gasanova]

This is a great simple explanation. Thanks

[@Gregorybridgewater]

Great video!

[@D3Sshooter]

good explanation, but please cut out that music .. very disturbing

[@ronsmith7739]

There is no music !!!!!

[@duncanmuse5241]

Great video. Thank you

[@bilginkara542]

Very nice. Thank you.

Higher roll centres don’t transfer less load to the tires, but they do it faster because less load is transferred via the shocks and more via the links which is much faster. Low roll centres equals more grip is not true in reality.

Great video and easy to understand. Can u make one on how to get forward bite?

[@farmermatt629]

So raise camber link raises side bite what does it do to opposite tire ? I’m assuming it would lower traction ?

[@RallyJunkies]

I am sorry but how you come up with that truth that you will have more traction if you have more roll. You will have more traction if you are able to redistribute load on a tyres evenly that is way racing cars have wider track width. If you have all preassure of a car on only one tyre you will have less traction because tyre traction is not linear like general roule of traction and friction that you learnd in school. Wider tyre in static condition will have less pressure per square inch but the grip will be higher than in narrow tyre. To conclude if you are able to distribute pressure on all 4 tyres and have all 4 tyres on the ground your grip will bi at maximum.

The equalizing of pressure over the tyres is achieved by the anti roll bars and the tuning of shocks, the geometrical principle explained in the video is correct, the ways we have to deal with it are another thing, and both of you are right, even if it seams impossible.

8 minutes in. I've learned your not an engineer.

[@kastenracing6491]

No Sir. Not an engineer. LOL. Just a racer trying to help explain things in general terms. 😀

[@nelsonsoper1]

JJ WA he said at the beginning of the video he wasn’t an engineer. Give him a break

[@vincentmcelwain3275]

Stumbled across this today and boy does it help! Had so many problems achieving traction with a new chassis. After watching this, I now know what I did wrong and how it affected my car. Also, now I know how to adjust to achieve what I want. No, you’re not an engineer but my friend, you are a kind person for explaining something to those of us who would not generally have a clue. Thank you!👍🏻👍🏻

Great explanation. Thanks for sharing.
