- It's something you hear people talk about quite often, so here's the difference between sprung and unsprung weight.
Check out our range of suspension parts here: uk.carthrottle...

Kind of freaked out about this showing on my recommendations, I was talking about this with my dad and have never googled it or anything, one and a half days later this shows up in my feed..
i learned a new thing in just 1.5 minutes
I wouldn't recommend using footage of turbotoaster's rolling barbeque if you want this taken seriously.
Maybe the difference between an engine and the steering wheel. I never understand how the engine powers the wheel.
Exhaust diameters
I have heard unsprung weight has to be multiplied by 3. Is this true?
iDennis95 same weight reduction size in unsprung weight is likely to have 2 or 3 times the effect in the unsprung weight. For example if you reduce unsprung weight 10 kg is have the same effect of reducing 30 kg of sprung weight.
Hello
Do one on suspensions and suspension setups.
I get it now! The control arm is semi sprung because it connects to the chassis & the wheels, this explains everything thx CT!
Getting lighter wheels, tires, and brakes actually also gives you more wheel horsepower. Think of it like moving your arm around in a circle fast. If you add a bunch of hula hoops to your arm, you will move it around slower due to added weight. Same concept. I remember I purchased a car a while back that had beautiful after market replica wheels and I decided to change them to the original wheels and I'm glad I did! My 0-60 mph I'm proved by over 1 second and my 0-100 mph improved by over 2 seconds!

I need the full video of the last video in this. The behind the diff cam is insane to see suspension work!
Do a video on Honda Civic / transverse engine transmissions and how they work

Wrong, it's the complete opposite.
Low wheel weight improves BOTH ride and handling.
It's easily proven with simple math, computer simulation or butt dyno so please stop spreading BS.
I feel like they on about if sprung weight was less as when wheels move quicker it push the sprung weight up quicker than it can hold it down
I think ye are wrong about the lighter wheel imparting more motion into the cabin. What ultimately effects how the cabin reacts is the force applied. Say for the same bump and speed of the car the force will be less for the lighter wheel as force = mass x acceleration. The distance travelled at the same speed will be the same, so the acceleration is constant, all that changes is the mass of the wheel which means the force overall will be less for the lighter wheel. However, because the wheel is lighter it may react to imperfections more severely as there isn't the same weight pushing down on the TIRE. This means the tire not the wheel itself is less likely to smooth over bumps. You'll find you have much less body movements with a lighter wheel, however, you might find some more vibration.
Do one on engine placement, front and back are easy to understand, but there are a lot misconceptions about the mid engine setup.
Damn so quick but full of info school is exactly the opposite of this video lmao
Thank You! Why do some videos and people quote the unsprung weight of a vehicle?
What does that tell us versus normal total weight dry or not?
Uhh... What about rotational mass? I just can't see someone doing a video for sprung/unsprung mass without also explaining rotational mass - easily one of the most confused concepts in vehicle dynamics.
Sprung & unsprung weight should be as little as possible.
Nothing hurts more than if you have coilovers and you hit a pothole.
Maxxas Crow that's when you get coilovers to lift the ride height.
Memes of cutting springs short. See what I did derp.
Also a pain if you’re driving a lightweight quad bike. The front suspension feels so stiff. It’s so responsive though, weighing only 90 kilos..
Torque steer and bump steer

benefits of larger rims / lower profile tyres besides aesthetics
TREVOR !!!
Also add that unsprung weight is 7-8 times that of sprung weight.. 1 pound loss of unsprung weight is equivalent to 7pounds of sprung weight. Lighter wheels. Rotors. Driveshafts. Etc. very effective for going fast.
Omgosh this video series are too good to be true
I'm sprung
Dog, she got me.
Do one on cross ply and radial tires
Sigh.. If you don't know how to properly modify a car with the needed math involved then just don't even bother
Thanks
Explain caster, camber, roll centre with animation
Transmission connected to the gearbox?
Downforce makes the sprung weight greater for greater grip
For your next video. You should do dent vs dint.
Can you explain the ignition system?
Suspension geometry please
Do somthing on types of chassis
Awesome mate
what is the car at 1:29?
I'm Sprung #TPain
MASS!
Hi
1st
May be sum 1 can tell me this but wat is a k car
A Kei-car assuming that's what you meant is a Japanese car designed to fit certain size regulations for tax benefits. They can't be any longer than 3.4 metres, any wider than 1.48 metres, and must have a max engine size of 660cc, and a max of 63 horsepower.
More famous Kei cars are Suzuki Cappuccino, Honda Beat, Mazda AZ1 and Daihatsu Copen. Because most of these only get the tax benefits in Japan, you don't see many outside of Japan.
Alternatively, Americans gave the nickname K-car to any Chrysler/Plymouth/Dodge running on the front-wheel-drive K-chassis that some argue saved Chrysler in the 1980s.
♥️
Wow, so rims also effective on car performance right ?
do active aero and normal/non-active
That one's pretty simple though. If its aero and it moves, its active aero, if not, its non-active
The Dutchinator Ye I know, thanks anyway. I thought for the newbies tho.
