[@SoloRenegade]

I've known of anti roll bars for many years. when I was young my dad always taught me to focus more on suspension and setup than pure power in racing. but this is the most concise and detailed explanation I've ever seen anyone give before. lots of people don't understand it because there are few good explanations of it out there.

[@110alpine6]

The book just arrived at my door a few days ago and I happened to read this section yesterday, and a video just pop up. What a day.

[@MikeJonesRacing4420]

Thank you for the time you put into this series! You are one of the few that understand it well enough to teach it to others!! Great work

[@MAKAWELI187]

Every time i consider starting racing, i realize how difficult the art of racing is. The knowledge behind the technical know how, makes my brain have melt down. So much knowledge here .. nice video as always bro.

[@daBONDi]

The course is awesome, watched all of it, totaly worth the money many times, go and get it if you are racing. For me it was i finaly understand why i made that change not because of previous expirience, but because of knowledge. Last race was for me like drive 1 tank, completly changed car in 1 go with my new knowledge and it drives nearly perfect, and then i made only minor changes trough the day. Get it it will change your rc racing life for sure.

[@gihonda127]

I know this is an older video, but it took me 2 hours to get through 38 minutes of video. I was pausing, note taking, looking at my Typhon 6s, then back to the video. Very thorough video, thanks for taking the time to explain this for us all. The Typhon 6s BLX comes with 2.4 front, 2.7mm rear.

[@jebutler3]

Love all of your videos. I have been racing for years, and I’m learning so much more about tuning overall with them.

[@jasonburks272]

So appreciative for you posting and covering this topic. Especially targeting the majority of drivers skill levels who want to learn and better understand what changes do for our cars. Keep it up and I look forward to your future videos. Thank you!

[@bashmyracer784]

NICE VIDEO !! Love it ! Coll to see the different setup works !

[@jackdurden466]

Wow, I’ve finally found someone who not only gives great advice, but also goes to all the trouble of fully explaining why, and what does what do you truly can think for yourself instead of just making quick decisions. This definitely is the best R/C channel I’ve come across yet. And I’ve already subbed, and hope to make my way through the library of old videos! Thanks so much for putting in your time and experience for our benefit. I’ve always been a monster truck guy, but recently got my hands on a very decent buggy, with great options for set up and can be adjusted with the best of them. It helps me so much! Again, thanks for the information, it shall go to good use! 👍👍👍👍👍🍾🍾+🏆🏆= 😀 Maybe? Lol!

I'm applying some of your techniques to off road carpet racing and it seems to be working. Fast lap times for stock 17.5 blinky class is mid 17's and because of your videos I'm running low 18's and breaking onto high 17 second lap times . I feel like I'm finally catching up to the faster guys

[@brandonbentley5453]

Awesome tutorial. My favorite so far. So many thanks. One thing to add is checking your roll bar for flatness. It's common to bend you roll bars making your buggy handle different left right and vise versa. Again thank you for this video.

[@BuggyBrentRC]

Awesome video ! This may help me out with my recent experience with my kyosho TKi2 on a loose track . Being that the car is setup out of the box for high grip tracks . The car felt amazing every where on the track other than it pushed really bad on slow sharp corners . It pushed initially at the corner . The rolls bars are 2.6 front and 2.8 rear . So I will try reducing both roll bars . I was afraid to change anything else on the car because it was so good that I didn’t want to go backwards . But the anti roll bars totally back sense without loosing the balance . Thanks JQ!

[@kwikNvaracing]

I feel that reducing is going in the right direction. I'm 2.3 front on my ebuggy and 2.4 nitro. Seems to really work well with 2.6 rears. However I do feels slight difference between the two. I may run the 2.3 on the nitro. I feel as tho the ebuggy isn't pushing as much like you mention.

[@BuggyBrentRC]

@@kwikNvaracing good info thank you ! I will try 2.6 rear and 2.4 front

[@briancarroll6245]

Brilliant 🇮🇪

[@357armen]

Totally agree with your first poin. I often say the same thing about guitar I grew up in the 90s when you had to get tablets your books and Rewind your cassette tape a million times to learn a solo nowadays you just pop on KZbin and you can learn so much more in the same time I think a working guitarist could definitely have been in a massive Advantage if he can have the technology of today and KZbin excetera while we going up against guys pre-internet era. Injured track racing they say if your car is hooking up good that left front tire should barely be off the ground about 50% of the corner.

[@jonper993]

Wow wow wow, i love all your vidéo. So much interesting and so much well done. Please keep making such great video about RC car. Then, please play a song with your guitar. My 2 passions, RC and guitar.

[@flyingscottsman2608]

Well done, I might be an outlier but Im about .5 seconds a lap faster and more consistent without roll bars. That said I play around a lot with camber link and shock position to make it work. lol (rough and dusty track)

[@roddystigsson7901]

Thanks! :-)

[@mikelongley]

Awesome video, going to check out more and your site! In the video you mention 1/8th and bars sizes(thicker rear than front), where would you recommend starting for short corse 2nd trucks? Thicker rear bar than front like 1/8 scale? Factory front is 1.3mm and no bar rear.

[@lukes5533]

Great video , if you only had one sway bar would it be more affective on the front or rear of the car ? And would your choice of position change from high grip to low grip surface?

[@brianlackie5093]

I been watching your video and I'm trying to understand. Most advices is basic layman stuff I already know. Been watching your videos and trying to understand . Not sure if I get it but my lap times have improved. I'm not as fast as I want to be but I'm a lot faster than I was. My car feels like it's in the track. If I make a mistake and flip over my car always seems to land on its Wheels. It feels like it's in the track now, my lap times have improved my consistency has improved

[@robertmoffat7744]

Would the same rules apply to 2wd and 4wd? I'm trying to set up a Pro4 SC10 for astroturf with tight turns, very helpful video.

[@ragsixracing]

lol i wasnt wrong. i used to debate with my friends at the track. they claimed thicker roll bars increased traction. i would counter that thicker bars decreased traction. i knew i was right haha. thicker bars do increase traction on the opposite end of the chassis, and no one believed me ...

[@sd_rcfanatic157]

Hi! Please help me dial my 1/5 Hpi Baja 5sc. I was racing it on a open 2wd category. I put same thickness swaybar on front and rear. I notice if the track high grip it turns great but once the track is dry I suffer fish tailing . Can you help me please. Thanks.

[@charlesbonkley]

Excellent video, JQ... a well-deserved *THANK YOU* from me! *Question:* what about anti-roll bar preload, or the choking-up of the bar in the collets? What is that used for? If it's used for increasing "thickness" (tension) of the bar in use, as intermediate values, then at what point does one increase, or step up, the thickness of the bar?

[@invisiblespeedrc]

You cant move the link a lot because it will bind at the end of suspension travel.

[@dreja123]

Tnaks for the video :) I miss the information about mounting position. How the mounting of both ends of antirollbar affects the handling. With this I mean if there is any effect how far are the ends pushed into the pivot ball. Thanks

[@af8lbite205]

Used to be back in the day first step if the car was too tight get rid of the ARB. I used to try and talk people out of doing that, normally people wouldn’t listen.

[@SzybkiTom]

I love how you explain the weight transfer concept with a roll bar and how some of the load is actually absorbed by the spring. That helped me understand the counter-intuitive nature of it. I thought a stiffer roll bar decreases weight transfer on that end because it limits body roll. That raises another couple of questions for me. If adding roll bars reduces overall grip, why are they used at all? Is it a question of balancing the car while using as little ARB as possible? Is there any situation where you would want to increase both roll bars while keeping the balance the same?

[@invisiblespeedrc]

Because you have to limit roll somehow, because if you dont you wont be able to control the car. When grip increases you go thicker up to a point.

[@SimonWorlds]

A good driver, at least in real race cars is that a harder rear end allows for a pointier front turn in, but you need to pick up the throttle gently on exit as the rear will be taily. If you dial in more rear toe in, you can help mitigate the rear end sway bar stiffness and sort of have your cake and eat it too. This is not an amateur set up IMO, but you can be very quick on a tarmac course if you learn to drive it with finesse and patience. Having this setup also needs a more gentler approach to trail braking into a corner as the back can come around. A more front biased brake adjustment is def a good safety margin to start with and can set it rearward slowly from there. I know this is off point from your video, but I race in 1:1 cars as well as instruct, setup race cars etc. I think you are def on point here and I have raced 1:8th buggy's many years ago. I wish I knew what I know now back then.............lol. Great video, thanks.

[@mellej.k2975]

Well, thank you very very very very very very very very*N much!!!

[@Ledsrule1]

Good job. BUT can you help me out. My son runs carpet only/two wheel drive team associated buggy 6.2 The buggy class here where I live is the number one class, (high compilation) four wheel drive cars have a lot of leeway because of the push /pull design So any ideas that you have for two wheel drive BUGGY would be helpful Thanks Rick

[@rctrophychasers]

Can you make a video on how the height the roll bar is from the arm changes its effects I assume shorter distance engagement will be sooner but idk if it's a factor

[@drugbaba]

Please explain me ,In case of understeer: By stiffing anti roll bar in front will have more evenly weight distribution during cornering to prevent roll , which will increase grip in front tire so why we won’t make roll bar stiff in front during under steer ???

[@douglasbeary7890]

Is it the same concept if your running a 4wd truck? Or does 4wd change the game completely?

[@dirtrider88]

i run 4wd offroad carpet. if i want more initial turn in (or even just more overall turning ) on power i should increase my rear anti roll bar?

[@invisiblespeedrc]

You can try, but maybe better to increase your diff oils

[@soma_rc]

Anything specific for 2wd?

[@neontetra1000]

I’m running on a very low grip dusty and loamy Sandy and extremely bumpy dirt track I have totally removed both front and rear roll bars to try to achieve more grip. Is that a good idea?

[@invisiblespeedrc]

Most likely no it's not. You need to limit roll, and you do need initial grip. Car set up is never extreme when it comes to racing around a track.

[@mohammadakbar2338]

cool

[@cbh148]

Interesting. I recently changed my Tekno NB48 2.0 sway bars from stock 2.3/2.5 (mm F/R) to 2.6/2.2 in an effort to stop a traction roll issue on a higher speed, somewhat bumpy, left sweeper on my local track. If it helped, it's not much as I still traction roll. I have a 2.8 front bar to try too and I suppose I could try running no rear bar as an experiment. Might try wider hexes. Ride height is stock and I don't want to go lower as there's a big double jump. Maybe could go lower with bump stops added to shock shafts?

[@eins2001]

Try different rate springs.

[@heavyhydropnw]

Is it common for people to run anti toll bars on indoor clay tracks with 2wd buggies

[@round1017]

Are you gonna be at A1 this Saturday?

[@Skynet5UK]

When talking about high grip..what do people mean when they say steering is more aggressive (when using a thicker anti roll bar). Sounds like aggressive steering is not “good” steering?

[@invisiblespeedrc]

Initial response

[@dirtrider88]

so if a thicker anti roll bar increases load transfer is that because it will want to pick up the inside tire reducing the overall grip of the "axle"? if a thicker anti roll bar will want to pick up the inside wheel then why wouldnt that keep the car more level therefor also increasing overall grip?

[@invisiblespeedrc]

Because keeping the car level is at the expense of load transfer. Roll does not = load transfer, it delays it.
