question about turning radius

[austin]

my turning radius is sad until i get moving, is that normal for a blaster or is it the flipped front ands wheel spacers?

 

[super noober]

yeah, anything with a solid rear axle is gonna turn crappy.. just punch it and whip it around!! I:I I:I

 

[austin]

haha, thats normally how i dooo it,

 

[Awk08]

gotta be the wheel spacers, my sh*t turns on a dime, my sons is worse with the
+4 swinger

 

[austin]

what about the flipped fronts, i think that may have alot to do with it.

 

[sheeblast]

it really has to do with the front tires not getting traction.
but the best way to turn is really punch it and kick the ass end out.

 

[austin]

yeah i see what your saying about traction, they slide and i may not know it, therefore reducing turn radius. but im just talking about putting around on concrete like when im putting her up and what not. i dont have problems on the trail.

on dirt the front tires can dig in and grip, on concrete they will just slide.

 

[austin]

hmmmm. so any tips on how to get a little tighter turns?

 

[sheeblast]

lean on the handle bars to put weight onto the front wheels.

like suggested above... turn and punch it. it might be those spacers. i know the wider something is the worse it turns.

ya when both tires spin and your turnin that means one tire has to give and slide in the back. On concrete one tire doesnt give and it just will push through your turn.Thats the reason on cars they made a limited slip rear end

 

[sheeblast]

not really true.
at low speeds, yes this is true, but at speed, if widen correctly, you will turn a lot better.

good tires also help with turning

 

[royalt67]

Yes the flipped fronts and spacers are effecting your turn radius.

The real question is "Why are you riding on pavement?"

 

[austin]

i said putting around when im putting it up, i dont think that counts as riding. and the walk to the shop and my house is about almost a quarter mile, so sometimes i take my blaster.

 

[1995blaster]

^^ thats a long ways sometimes when i just need to go from my house to the back yard to see something i take it (40 feet) lmao im lazy

 

[austin]

haha yeah. but i dont like spin the sh*t out of the tires or nothing like that.

 

[sheeblast]

sh*t i ride on the road all the time. just dont be stupid about it. like i will ride my my house, 1/4 from house to road, to my friends house, about 3 miles, all on the road.

 

[yzrider]

just don' ride on the road, i know that when i'm turning hard on pavement i give it gas and lift that inside rear wheel, so i kinda turns better and doesn't drag that tire so much

if u gotta turn on tarmac or concrete just whip the back out... if u dont have enough power try to find a puddle it'll help =p
