Build ur own caltracs....hope it helps

 

Ordered the tubing and rod ends to build these today. Should have the goods next week.

 

Rodney, you got these built yet? I have been doing some measuring and figuring on lengths and geometry for good anitsquat. On my truck, keeping the bars parallel to the ground, I can't go lower than 4" from the axle and the length really doesn't matter to get 100% antisquat. The length will be more instrumental in keeping the bars from binding and staying consistent with the travel arc of the leaf spring. Here is the drawing I did in AutoCAD to help me visualize the geometry.

 

do you happen to have or are you willing to run a flip kit? i'll have a set of used cal-tracs for sale soon.

 

subscribed! I am willing to know some more info on this setup. I have bad wheel hop and i run a flip kit. Would these even be able to work with a flip kit? How much on the caltracs^^^? PM me.

 

I am still awaitng all the parts to come in. They might not help me get great 60 foot time , but it will be impossible to wheel hop with the long bars. Nice work BigKid! I hope to have these in action by the STS race November the 19th!

 

Just curious, what size tubing and heims are you using?

 

I had it wrote down whe I ordered it. Now I don't remember. Seems like 1 3/8" or 1 5/8 chromoly tubing .120 wall and 3/4 joints. They should ship today or tomorrow says the vendor so I'll let ya know soon.

 

how much?

 

Rodney, if you get a chance, check out the long bars we put under the primer c-10 in town, they work well and 60 ft in the low 1.60's to high 1.50's with a carbed 6.0
