And why would you want to lift off the LR?
Stager bind / loosen a push tight condition, I feel is a timeing thing, cross center off ?
And why would you want to lift off the LR?
very Interesting,Good stuff, Here's a few things that came to mind after reading all this, Food for tought.
Take the spring from a ball point pen, compress it then let fly, Take the 200lb spring compress it the same amount let it fly, witch one went the furthest.
Is it because the lighter spring had more energy at the same hight, Or is it the 200lb'er needs to be compressed more to equal the same energy.
I invision it like a drag car leaveing the line. soft high energy front springs,
Flip side of the coin I think the weight will transfer away from and unload faster from the heavy spring to the lighter,say its the LR spring thats heavy, some weight gos to the RR & LF most to the RF, now add cross, then add weight to the LF,
You can not tansfer anything to something thats not there , the LR unloads, Balanceing act off the Lf/RR , Is the RF (spring/ cross/weight) the key to this balanceing act.
Are the tires on a kart the springs or the timers/shocks, Or is the frame the spring or the shocks?
Cross, weight on Rf / LR but then you turn, Caster = weight transfer to LF/RR.
Question on the LF tire temp, Would't that be a cooler temp if it is griping better and not sliping.
Tim richmond drove a three wheel supermodified - no LF- mind you, in testing said that it was the fastest & best car he ever drove, it was band before makeing one race.
Also in my neck of the woods a suspension less super proved its domance. Were's it start were's end what may seam wright is usualy wrong !

Thanks , could not think of the builders name, was it 82 the year. have the photos / article saved ill dig them out.
Dos this aply to the tread tire temp, no LF, not !

copy post from other thread here:
I understood Andrew and you said it perfectly.
I see the confusion. I am not preaching unloading the LR.
The only unloading of the LR I ever think about is in terms of providing weight to the RR so the RR can out accelerate the LR. I now know the confusion comes from my NOT ever considering the over all increase in weight because of an increase in g's. Thank you.
If I include grabbing additional weight via an increase in g's, I can see where the additional weight from an increase in g's >alone<, could be sufficient to cause the RR to rotate 'forward' around the LR.
thanks

Thank you, you fixed a major flaw in how I see it and presented it, because I did not ever consider weight gain because of g's.
I do have a problem saying it indicates things are good and working well.
