Wheelie Bars

[@T.Russell3155]

I agree 100% on the dual wheel vs the single wheel bars, I have seen several Stock Eliminator cars with single wheel bars that the wheelie bars will drive the car one way or the other, so much more control with the dual bars....I dont even offer a single wheel bar for the stock or super stock cars I build. I love the videos, very informative! Thank you!

[@stefanczechorskidds8435]

Always a pleasure to watch your vids Tim. Really enjoyed your TIG vids as well!

[@soundmindtv2911]

Your videos are so informative and educational. Thank you for all the effort over the years!

[@quad442w40]

Always awsome Uncle Tim .. please keep putting out content.

[@johngilley3518]

Liking the videos Tim, haven't kept up with drag racing for a few years but these videos are giving me the bug again. Love the welding videos also. Thanks for putting in the time to make them. 🤘😎👍

I'm getting to be a pro mod fan. The more I understand the cars the more I enjoy them.

[@jaimeleyva3745]

Always enjoy your videos sir, keep them coming 👍🏽

Are you wrapping the carbon tube with fiberglass where they bond to the aluminum in order to prevent galvanic corrosion?

[@RecklessRegal]

I've read that a good starting point for wheelie bars is 2/3 of the wheelbase. Is that correct?

[@Timmcamis]

That could work out, but we traditionally have standard sizes based on power levels and potential use as Tim touched on in the video.

[@4speed3pedals]

Tim, it is good to know the diameter of the 4130 tubing BUT, what about wall thickness?

[@Timmcamis]

Standard wall thickness on 4130 sets is 0.058". Sometimes it can vary from 0.049" to 0.065" on custom wheelie bars with different size tubing.

[@4speed3pedals]

Thank you.

Great information!

[@marderbacher]

Hi Tim, do you think it's better to have a little flex in the wheelie bar than to make it to stiff (as in to let it bow). If its to stiff, does it not shock the tyres?

[@Timmcamis]

Ideally you want them stiff for consistency and longevity. If the car is routinely hitting the bars to the point where it is shaking, there should be tuning adjustments made to combat the issue. Ex. wheelie bar height, front end weights, 4-link, etc...

Great content!

[@mskwelding7842]

Hi Tim, Do you consider the wheelie bar a tool to be used to enhance wheel slip? Duncan

[@Timmcamis]

Yes, it can be. Check out this video to see more about using the wheelie bars for tuning and making adjustments - kzbin.info/www/bejne/rJO6qZuXqLZ2bqM

[@MrVelocity111]

Thx Tim i agree dual wheels i also agree with

[@roadtoad7704]

Standing at the starting line as a spectator, I've seen dual wheelie bar settings so far off, the driver has to make a half turn steering wheel correction to stay straight. What's up with that?

[@Dudemieser]

I'm new to your great channel. I raced in Fl back when I was MUCH younger. I am 50 now and am getting the itch again. Do you work or deal with factory stock classes? Or is that slower than what you do?

Titanium is a different metal...when i was young i rode bmx bikes..dirt jumping n street riding..n there was a eastern grim reaper. .frame n forks...a buddy a mine bought that n it was like a 25 hundred spring...lol...i grew up n got into drag racing...nice video..thanks

[@jacobjohnson8131]

25 hundred dollar...lol

[@danielvrana9444]

Thank you!!

[@krazziee2000]

good lesson ..thanks

[@pamnunes]

Thank's for sharing.

[@stevennewman8276]

Why did F/C go from a double to a single?

[@rightsidelanechoice7702]

If they made the carbon bars in an oval 0 shape like the wings mounts on top fuel cars, they would be even more rigid yet.

It’s all about FVM💪🏼😎 not MVM🤨

[@13SKULLWRECKER]

Get your 25 foot tape and your all ready to race

[@hedgepethracing9590]

Tim's a stick shaker.... And uses wood for wheelie bars.. I seen it !! (8 foot 2+4)
