Toe in or toe out

[mudboger07]

I'm wondering witch is better on a bsr, I've tried it with about 1/8" toe in and also at 0. It seems to get better the less i go. Anyine have any suggestions?

For speed you want 1/16 up to 1/8 out. This will help keep you on the steady at higher speeds.

I was under the impression that toe-in gives you more stability at high speed??? Heff

Thats the same thing I thought heff, I set my rail buggy I built up at approx 1/4" toe in, But when I did that to the bsr it got real touching at speed. I have it set at right at 0 toe at the moment. I guess im having a hard time trying to figure out how toe out is helping it.......lol But then again these are bsr's even my go kart was set with about 1/8" toe in..I have always been told that toe in helps it from wondering how does toe out work then? Thanks guys for the info. I'll post some pics when the wife gets home with the camera.

Toe out can be a dodgy fix for no ackermann. As when you turn the wheels the inside wheel is turned into the corner more than the outer, just as if the thing had proper ackermann. Can't see how it relates to straightline stability though

If you have ackerman steering, set it at zero, if you have non-ackerman....1/16" toe in.
