most of teh time you willl loose tracktion almost all of the time. with the dirt race cars on oval tracks now they are starting to add anti swaybars on for more tracktion. it keeps both tires on the ground preety equaly.

it might lean more with the irs so it might reely lean and grip and flip on the race cars they have floating strait axles so its a diff setup.

so, with the sway bar ON, will it make it more or less like a single rear shock setup?

Hawkman your all up in it ! heres what you do, to do donuts and wheelies and burnouts, the stock tires are suppossed to hold 5 PSi Lbs air, Put 12 PSi in them, lean out the carb by giving it all the air you can by removing the air plugs or drilling 4 1/2 holes in the top Lid of airbox, then get you some premium fuel 102 octane or above, get a Splitfire plug for it, Adapt a Accell super coil to it, drill the slide, then change to the 0w30 synthetic lighter oil which will let that motor spin easier , Now if I did that stuff to my hawkeye and went Burning and turning it would last me one day, the end result would be Overheating valve seals, melted engine parts and a big hole in my Piston, oh and a check from the city for Misqito patrol, but really if you want to do donuts air up the back tires a little and hammer away its part machine and part rider in order to do donuts properly. Love RP

they can take alot they are made for stress but there arn't tubes they are tubless just tire and rim.iv had mine up 2 15 and know i can go much more i had a old race car that said on the tires not to go over 15 psi so i put them up 2 65 in the sun because you have to grow them smetimes to get the right tire stagger.(difference in circomfrance of the tires from one side to the other on dirt you whant teh right about 5 inches to 5 bigger than the left in the back and you whant eh right front to be about 1 inch bigger than teh left so they can take more than they say but i know someone who blew one up doing that on teh car to try and streach it teh day of the race. ripped up teh sheat medal body and i was a few thousand feet aay and it was LOUD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
