Tony Posted March 31, 2006 Report Share Posted March 31, 2006 Much argument has evolved from this topic.. should the wheels be toe'd in or out for the best drift response? Not front............ rear. Debate is this.... 1: If the rear toe is set negative (out) then during drift three wheels will own the desired direction. 2: If the rear toe is set positive (in) then during weight transfer the outer rear wheel could steer and compliment the drift. What do you think? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Janey Posted March 31, 2006 Report Share Posted March 31, 2006 From what I have read most drift cars seem to run with toe in Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony Posted March 31, 2006 Author Report Share Posted March 31, 2006 From what I have read most drift cars seem to run with toe in Indeed at the front this makes sense, but the rear should desire 'over steer' so during weight transfer and drift 'toe out' seems wise... maybe?

Topper Posted May 24, 2006 Report Share Posted May 24, 2006 I know a few people on both Driftworks and SXOC who are into Drifting, from speaking to them i would vote for Toe out as it would make the car more responsive to turn in and direction change. This is how i understand it, but admitedly my knowledge is limited, i have tryed drifting a couple of times and have been told for a beginer i am quite good, however i am held back on holding the drift for any length of time by my Diff, but that is another discussion.

Maybe driver preference is the only real answer here. Toe out front activates toot.... Toe in rear activates over-steer.... Mechanical Engineers will argue the disparity until a fight brakes out....By default this seems to be the most common configuration... but not necessarily the right configuration Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
