More turn-in, increased risk of traction roll. We tend to use 0.5mm of arm-sweep for most conditions. |

thanks alex the way i see it is arm sweep is generally moving the end of the arm backwards,which will shorten the wheel base,and affect ackerman,so will obviously affect the car in a big way,so why use it if alot of other settings are changed? this is taken into account when setting up the car,but what i really want to know is what it actually does,and why it does it,is it just a mod thing as i only run 13.5? if you do use arm sweep would you move the shims around to get back to the original wheelbase and ackerman |
