I went and started wading or wadding through my original post and stopped after reading the first few lines.
I'm going to add in here this and most all of what I write is not about how to do things, it's about trying to understand how stuff works. And the understanding will come from observing, relating one thing to another and experience both hands on and from talking to others about their hands on experience. The math is great to prove but I can't do the math nor prove most any of this. What the math is going to do is to say either "darn your right and you've been right all along" or to say it can't be because it just doesn't figure even though that seems to be the way it works.
... so, just some more thunkin, wandering and wondering. ...
Quoting me because nobody else would ever think to or want to do it: "Yes it's obvious this would be about slip ratio's. ...
Slip ratio is based on revolutions of a tire per distance traveled. Acceleration based on slip ratio states, maximum acceleration is at maximum wind up of a tire prior to slipping.
That's slip ratio in a nutshell."
... posting unfinished work so I can read it before adding on thoughts.
Ok moving on after reading. When I read the first part of the first post it occurred to me that since the two rear tires are different and hooked together with a solid axle, maybe their difference could relate to a number being put on the rotational effort possible out of the axle.
Yeah I can't do the math, but if there was a final number for rotational effort from the axle made up of different variables, we could see via a spread sheet maybe, how each variable effects rotational effort. It would still come down to how do you know if your getting enough rotation out of the axle, but if it's obvious you need more you would be able to go to the easiest way or combination of ways to get more.
Air pressure would boil down to just one variable. It and the rest of the variables, would effect how the slip ratio differs at each rear tire. Always another question and I think I have to ask it now.
How can you find the slip ratio or a number for potential slip ratio, for a tire?
If we could do that, then we could setup known inputs and know how the numbers would change, for each variable input effecting total rotation of the axle.
I think those who keep good records can use their records of answers, to know the direction of change when you adjust the chassis or tires. Nogoats cheat sheet is that sort of thing. If we could read slip ratio's for each rear tire, the cheat sheet could be refined to how adjustments will effect axle rotation. And yes how adjustments effect axle rotation still will be different during deceleration, rolling, the start of acceleration and final acceleration.
I have to stop now because thoughts I'm thinking and trying to put down in a logical progression, are again being confused by obvious multiple variables. I'll again have to post and read through this to see where it was going or might need to go. And without input from others, it can only go where I make it wander. With input from others it can and usually does take a different path.
One last thing for now. I think I do know how to easily put a number on a tire which accurately can represent slip ratio. I posted the idea many years ago on here, but now that I better see the value of it and since the past on here is gone, I'm going to keep it to myself. ...
