Parish, look at some Caltracs. They will stiffen up the rear end a BUNCH.

Check out this vid. You can really tell it in this vid when I check the tires.

I'm thinking it would reduce the weight transfer since the rear doesn't squat pitching all the weight towards the rear.

Hang on ... I'll recompress the vid with a different codec

Let me know if you can see that one. I'm still trying to get the hang of all this editing stuff.

I'm having traction problems off the line though. I don't think I have enough tire.

To stop that see-saw motion when lauching. ethier level tierods or get a locker in the front. Helps a bunch. That way both fronts are "powered". No unloading from tire to tire.
