XRAY - Model racing cars

You can play with the rear downstops. It limits the weight transfer and could hold more grip in the rear.

Less downstop in the rear will equal more wheeltravel which equals more weight transfer during braking.

I will try to explain it with this very scientific paint picture.



When the car is not hitting the stops the rear suspension is able to extend.
The rate and amount of which this will happen depends on the amount of braking force which ''grabs'' the car in the Centre of gravity( car doesn't have any anti effects so they will be left out of consideration )

If the rear stops are hit the moment which needs to be created is too great for the rear to rise further, if the car needs to travel further the entire rear end needs to be lifted!!, so the rear settles and the force towards the front is stopped.

Motorbikes are able to lift the rear wheel during braking because they have a short wheelbase and a rather high CG(compared to the wheelbase).

thanks for the effort DS! I do understand it now, but can i calculate it by this far that if i make the downstop at the front a bit higher it wil equalize too?
