wheel offsets (buggy) and effect on handling

[wolfdogstinkus]

What effect will it have on handling if I widen the rear track on my DT-02 by changing the wheels to ones with a different off-set?

It should increase understeer (reduce oversteer), but you never know till you try. Every setup and track condition is different.

Thanks 94eg, I don't really want to increase understeer any more, It's bad enough as it is.

I will try it out before I glue them on.

They are proline dirt works, on blitzer wheels on the back of a DT-02, I may just have to glue them onto the dt-02 wheels instead as they are a bit loose on there.

If you do experience too much understeer........you can always add stiffer rear springs or move your lower shock mounts in the rear further outward towards the wheels. There are lots of other things you can do to reduce rear traction (stiffer damper oil in the rear too). You can also do the exact opposite of any of those things at the front for a similar effect.
