  • Did you make your guess on the last video of how much the wagon weighs? Well, go do that if you haven't. In this episode we will be talking about Corner Balancing and why/how you should do it.
    We go over weighing the wagon at the end, and is it ever a shocker.

    Sort of relevant, back-in-the-day we ran stock cars and corner balanced them on a regular basis. It was critical to balance the car, although they were setup asymmetrical because we only turned left. We disconnected the anti-roll bars, as you do, but also the dampers (shocks), since they would "hang" a little and skew the readings. We tested that, and it is true. Although, that is much easier with a divorced shock. While I am drifting now, mostly trying, the corner balance thing brings back memories. Very interesting on the front bias of 53%. Maybe you could cover that a bit more so we can understand how differences in bias affect the car. Thanks for the videos! 👍

    Considering a lot of competitions layouts have low amount of transitions and sometimes a bigger part for the direction turns, getting lz worldtour canada as exemple, it would be better to wedge the car our left bias the car? 🤓

      I would imagine the difficulties it would cause for the human driver outweighs the theoretical higher average performance on a certain track. Unless it's Nascar, then they absolutely do
