I'm making a wheelie bar for the DS for sand drags.

It's not clear what dimensions work best - length, height off ground at far end, angle of bar, etc.

Any suggestions or pics?

Thanks.

 

Scooby, Check out the pics of my wheelie bar in My album, It works well for me.

 

I'm looking for a wheel to use. I think I need a lightweight wheel & tire that is not real tiny or too narrow like pro stock cars run, since it will be buried in sand getting sand in the bearings.

 

Try a racing slick for a go cart.

The only way to figure out length or height is to try differnt settings. The first one I made is heavy and unfinished. The wheel is adjustable up and down in and out, to an extent. I have not had a chance to do enough trials yet to get it set right. When I get the right dimensions I will make one that looks good and is lighter.

 

how about offf road skateboard wheels ????

 

Just take a piece of alumimnum or metal, and weld it down. Thats what my wheelie bar has.. no tire, just a plate.
