Rear track width
 
Hello all,

I will try to make this quick.

Rear track width.

Wider = more side grip or less?

Same tire, same camber, same suspension blah blah.

My front is 100 mm wider on each side (200 total) from extended LCA and 2 inch wheel spacer, and I am having trouble having the rear come out and stay out at low speeds. High speed is fine. Would widening the rear end help lessen the rear "side" bite?

Thanks.

wider track reduces load transfer, ergo more grip. but hey, more grip is betterer right?

Naaa, my issue right now is I can't drift slowly only super high speeds with a lot of inertia. Looking at lowering my side/slide grip while keeping my go forward grip the same. I can't slow down or let off the throttle for a second to hit the ebrake without straightening out. :/

A few of the websites I have seen (mainly karting websites) say to get more bite, shorten the width, to lessen extend. But that's all I got right now.

Here is an example of my wide front.

(Sorry for the drift question in the race tech section, I consider it more of an advanced race question.)


Stock track width front/rear is:
57.1"/56.7"

So mine is at least, 61.1"/56.7".
