Look on the Locost 7 forum under Midi

There used to be a wide front/short rear option, but that is gone. Do FV ever adjust their shocks from track to track or do they run the same everywhere every day? :confused::o

Cliff,
Glad to see...

Contact patch is shorter and ultimately smaller with the front tire compared to the rear tire. It might heat up and fire faster than the full size rear with a question if that would make for as much...

My thinking follows what Jon K has posted. I keep asking why people want to instantly jump to the 6 & 8" FC rims with no answer with documentation why the desire for the 6" front other than a used...

Can anyone who is requesting the FC 6" and 8" rims explain why they are asking for more than just allowing the rear 8" rim and tire?

FF in CM is specifically stated in rules to follow the road...

Not sure if you are trolling or if you honestly believe this as I was once told by someone having tire wear issues "making changes to a car setup to suit a tire is the most ridiculous thing I have...

Also wouldn't we read that as since most everyone is already running the 20.5x7-13 on the 5.5 rims, once they spend the cash to get the 6" rims they then will have to spend more to make the front...

in conversations elsewhere, I realized folks might know that various chassis of FF were not designed around the FC sized rims. Would the earlier chassis FF be at a disadvantage for not being able to...

Jon, can you inform us on the rules that allowed an electric powered formula car to run at a national solo event? Everything I am reading in the published rules does not allow that car to run at...

Weren't Sports 2000 cars in CM at some point? Same drive as FC but with sports racer bodies and no wings n things? I really don't feel like digging out my old rule books.

With silly season in...

so... who wants to build a CM FF that does not have a chassis plate?

Honestly it is cheaper to buy a chassis on the list for the starting point as you get all the parts and can then just work on...

Nothing has changed in the law. TS sells them as Utility Jugs. Specifically state they are not to be used with fuel used on highways. Same thing with Rural King Jugs. I'm kicking myself for not...

A definite maybe.
Your best bet is to goto the forums that cover the particular bike the motor comes from. Some of the energy saving oils will not get along with wet clutches. Diesel oils have in...

I read it on the internet, it must be true. :ha::ha::ha:

um, uuhhh... well... maybe not.

My 30 plus year membership experience might say otherwise. As in, the rule as written may not be the rule as they intended. There is some poo hitting the fan right...

Cory, what rims do you run?

Reminds me when we first started using the TC3500 machines, they got nicknamed "the mangler". If the operator wasn't paying attention could turn a wheel square super...

It has been posted for you. This is a great community of helpful enablers. :thumbsup::beer:

Not at this time. Cars must meet road race rules except for CM has an open tire rule.

DB1 issue may have been from needing more camber for radials or maybe some cantilever tires took an offset...

What would be the number of cars that can not move the inner rim lip location 1.25" in because of suspension interference? Some cars were ran as both FF and FC so no problem there. Others built to...

Yup! the little sucker was able to blow the record away today. :thumbsup::thumbsup:

I love the surprised jump from the start line worker when suddenly the car is not there

i might not be a mathmetizer, but VW electric at 39.9 in 2019 seems faster than 41.2 in 2022 :confused: is there an inflation adjustment??? I'm not sure... I've been accused of being snarky in my...

I wasn't going to reply to this thread but the question of Electric drives in KM autocross came up yet again today. Letters to the SEB, CRB, Advisory Committees, etc. have been an ineffective waste...

You are welcome!

Give Appalachian Race Tire a call at 865-681-6622. I believe they have the fronts in R20 and will ship them.

Have you looked closely at the drop center to opposite side rim lip distance? I remember some 16" GT1/TA rims that had zero drop center making it rather "fun" to get a tire on the rim combined with...

It depends how creative you are at modifying a production Street automobile.;)

If you are looking at how close the front wheels are to the cones while on course, you are not looking far enough ahead. That is what video is for after the run. "I felt I was X inches off the cone."...

Congrats on the runoffs run. Great show from the clips I've seen. I still haven't been able to sit still long enough to watch more than clips. Sigh.

Reminds me I need to ask what boat anchor...

wow
The silly season started early this year.

I think the soft compound for FF are designed for the 6" and 7" width rims they run in England??? I could be wrong. The vintage stuff made for 5.5" width rims are only available in a hard compound...

Only real damage any of my visors have received was from being too close to the rear of a Vette when they launched. Spinning tire shot a rock stuck in the tire into my visor. Nice little divot.
