More toe gives more drive and tightens up the car, it tends to drive straight. Less toe frees up the back of the car. More rear antisquat doesn’t let the car transfer as much weight over the rear tires and helps the car turn "rotate" better. Less antisquat lets the car transfer more weight...

I finally bought a Clodbuster and this will be the soap opera of a rebuild of said Clodbuster. Once you've seen a stock Clodbuster you've seen them all so this will probably be about as exciting as a soap opera to many. I know nothing of Clods per se but this will be my attempt at making a nice orig...

I could have bought a bowtie clod instead but as this was going to be a runner I wasn't too fussed at the time....... however..... with the amount of effort, time and money gone into this I'm not so sure I want to run it anymore

Such a wealth of information !!! Love the technical posts....

Good job Niki As always a well thought out and executed design.

I'll leave it to those much smarter than myself but you'll need to know the "pitch circle"

That bumper/nose plate set up is a first that I've seen, interesting.

Those both look like a good base to build some fun cars.

That looks good, nice job.

All safe here for the moment, but things can change in an instant. Australia is far from over with the "peak" of the fire season still ahead of us. Another firefighter was killed just yesterday :( fingers crossed they get on top of the fires in these milder conditions before it heats up ag...
