rasslenny Posted August 5, 2013 Author Share Posted August 5, 2013 the bars definitely not needed though... there bothering me greatly Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Driver Posted August 5, 2013 Share Posted August 5, 2013 It make perfect sense. A lot of really fast FWD draggers run wheelie bars to prevent the back squatting too much under launch without making the back really twitchy with solid suspension or lock bars. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
rasslenny Posted August 5, 2013 Author Share Posted August 5, 2013 but then there are cars running 8 seconds with out them and thats a significant difference in time so are they REALLY necessary .... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
wssoR Posted August 5, 2013 Share Posted August 5, 2013 As said above there to keep the rear squatting and keep as much traction to the front wheels as possible, hence why there referred to as traction bars now as opposed to wheelie bars Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Driver Posted August 5, 2013 Share Posted August 5, 2013 but then there are cars running 8 seconds with out them and thats a significant difference in time so are they REALLY necessary .... Yes, as they may run in classes that don't allow them or may be road cars etc. They work. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Beastmode panda Posted August 5, 2013 Share Posted August 5, 2013 FWD cars run wheeley bars to push the front end into the floor for as much traction as possible on acceleration when it all lifts up and the weight gets transferred etc. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
