locogato11283 Posted October 29, 2012 Report Share Posted October 29, 2012 Guess it rides like poop if its a single arm i'm just gunna give up lol I don't know if anyone said it would ride like shit, but it's flat out more dangerous... There is no real reason not to run dual arms in the dunes. I can understand at a groomed track running a single arm, but you're going to get much better handling and safety with dual arms in the dunes.

03 turbo Posted October 29, 2012 Report Share Posted October 29, 2012 i have a wheelman dual arm and love it is always goes straight and great ride. also it easy to strut a dual a arm for the track and then put shocks on for whatever with out adjust the front end ... just my 2 cents Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
camatv Posted October 29, 2012 Report Share Posted October 29, 2012 single a-arm chassis built RIGHT (LSR) will handle whoops and all kinds of bullshit IF you know how to ride it. i have a dual a-arm chassis as well and it is much more comfortable. the overall geometry of a chassis is going to affect it so much its hard to describe. over the years i have seen a LOT of junky ass crap chassis with horrible geometry absolutely fail in my opinion. they wont launch to save their lives look like stockers when they do ( wheelie and not hook right) OR they twitch like a mofo at any speed. thats more unsafe than any LSR (or corectly built) single arm chassis could be.. i have had both my chassis up for sale with no real interst in them seen people buy other chassis and watch them reck them or flop all over the place in the whoops.. best advice do your research befofe deciding what to go with.

Hazzard Racing Customs Posted October 31, 2012 Author Report Share Posted October 31, 2012 i would like for the chassis to be suspended it just seems to me like if its suspended the bike will take the beating instead of me i want to be able to pull this thing off the trailer any where and show it off but have the capabilities (in the trailer) to swap out a few things and be set up sweet to drag competitively at the asphalt track,dunes,sand track whatever. I'm fully aware i will have to sacrifice allot of riding to set this up full out drag but i have another shee to ride any where with. I just don't want to dump all this money into the drag bike for it to just sit when were not at the track. Thanks again for any input from any one Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skywalker7374 Posted October 31, 2012 Report Share Posted October 31, 2012 10 out front 12 out back, DOUBLE A-Arms, no plastics, no front brakes, and ride that bitch like you stole it. I think that would be a great set up for what you are looking to do. JMO Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
