- This video explains what is left rear drop in a dirt late model race car. Video shows easy way to check drop and things that may cause problems is incorrect on car. This left rear drop 4-link tuning guide can be used on all chassis brands like Rocket, Warrior, Barry Wright, TNT, MastersBuilt and so on. Also can give insight to WoO droop rule that just come in effect, #dirtlatemodel #dirttrack #setup
My detailed set up guide now available find it at dirtlatemodeltechtips
I've never been to any dirt race whatsoever, but I plan on changing that soon. What I like is the level of innovation, engineering, and creativity in the cars. Some people call it "cheating", I wish the NASCAR Cup series still had this aspect, no longer with the next gen car.
You need to go for sure. The action and excitement is way more then asphalt racing. What state you live in and I see if I can suggest a good event for you to go watch. The local shows are good also go support them and bring a friend along.
@@DirtTrackDave I live in western North Carolina, about an hour west of Charlotte.
@@bluegrassboy2448 ok so no big big event near by in June. But go check out any of these tracks; Volunteer Speedway (bulls gap) high banked 3/8mi, Tri-County raceway-bull ring 1/4mi, Smoky mountain raceway- 1/2 mile, Crossville Speedway 3/8 bull ring, 411 motor Speedway 3/8mi, Boyd's raceway, dirt track at Charlotte. These are all good race tracks They race all a little bit differently, but lots of action good racing, good people, and good food.
Back in the day I use to make shock drop brackets by taking two shock mounts and welding them together lol I was like 17 trying to be NASA on my race car. Lol it’s cool to see I was on the right track 😂
That left rear shock looks bent to me.
Great content, wish I knew more about what the rear axle is doing on these cars. I work on passenger cars but really enjoy the clever goofy engineering race cars use. That is a hell of a shop. What's your story? How did you get to this point?
Just found this channel. Excellent!
Keep up the good work...🏁🏁
Who the hell came up with that lol
Finally someone can teach me some stuff thanks man appreciate it 👍
I had chains on my race dirt car way way way back in the early 90 s they said I was crazy lol thanks BigAl California ,,, praise Jesus Christ grace amen 🙏
I always liked my rockets they handled good, and pretty much easy to set up,my only complaint was shipping times,
Seemed like anytime I had to order something I had to wait a month
I'm working on getting website up to offer stuff like that.
Keep them videos coming sure do enjoy them
Dang Dave your from my neck of the woods
That rear end does not drop, the whole damn body just rares up
and leans over like an old Cadillac with no shocks.....
We have a UMP Modified and we can't get it to scotch up or come under the driver can't get all the way on the gas we are on a M30 UMP tire rule and no side bite no forward drive ?
So it basically comes down to setting the dynamic anti squat value to load the left rear tire
The amount and LR to RR balance of anti squat on each tire being applied.
the drop mount that you showed on the video what brand it and and where can i get one thank you for doing these videos.
Hey man, I don't want to say or ask anything too personal but. I know the track at the beginning of this video, I won't say it's name for obvious reasons but, if you don't mind me asking, where you from?
Grew up in South Carolina still based here for now if not traveling with someone. , However, I did more racing west of Carolina's then in my home area. Just because there was more of it in mid and western Tennessee and surrounding regions.
I assume you have a video on this but my understanding of late model rear suspension is that its designed so the left rear wheel can move forward and backward in relation to being in a turn vs straight away. Is this true? And if so is there a video that explains how all this works?
Well some what, both RR and LR move. LR moves forward and down and right rear moves up in body roll and travels rearward slightly.
@@DirtTrackDave interesting. For some reason i thought the left rear was built on some sort of pivot. But after seeing the suggested video at the end of this video it made more sense. Thanks for the reply.
Can i get a link for the drop bracket
Droop
It's drop, LR separation, hike, or droop all are correct terms used in talking about the left rear movement.
Thanks for the tips, getting into an older GRT, 602 sportsman car.
Awesome, if you ever need any help follow my page on facebook at facebook.com/DirtLateModelTechTips/
The cam rate on the shock mount.. is that also true for RR?
It is different to RR vs LR. However there are similarities.
Really appreciate the help you put out Dave thanks again
Yes sir, and if you need help contact me.
@@DirtTrackDave wow I appreciate that man thanks 👍
It my job Gary so don't hesitate.
What's a good rear percentage on a limited car when scaling
I try to keep cars under 53% with any motor type. Very rarely do I go over that.
So, as the nigh goes on, I should increase the length of my limiter chain??
Well that depends on drive in the car. Some car need less chain adjustment then others. Having said that, yes as long as as drive is needed in car. But can have too much.
Too much just means lifting the LF and making the car too tight on throttle, right?
To much drop can make a car have to much instant traction, and causes RF to travel slightly more. Picking up LF is a combination of to much LR drop, 5th to far forward and RR to soft of load number /low RR ride height.
After talking and thinking about my setup, I went testing and got a good baseline together. Then got a W at Lanier in iracing.
Too broke to have a real car, but still wanna race.
@@CensoredFreedom615 Testing is key in iracing or real life.
Dave what’s your opinion on running a chain on the right rear?
Details on RR chain are for paid customers on consulting program. Having said that, the RR chain is old school, GRT were notorious pretty much bolted on and leave it in. However, cars then we're lacking traction compared to how much rear grip cars have advanced with. The chair was a crutch that is now replaced with under rail design in cars. Plus you won't rip a shock in two with a chain on that cars run without under rail.
What angles do you like at full droop?
You can find all angles, lengths and more in my Setup & Scale Guide + DTD Concepts
