Rotating Mass and Unsprung weight

dimanche 19 octobre 2014

These topics have been argued back and forth over the years, with some saying it matters a lot and others saying it doesn't matter that much.



My own experiences with it tell me it matters a lot.



I was watching the history channel today and the BigFoot guy (his nickname) who invented that Bigfoot truck was interviewed, and this topic came up.



He's of the opinion that saving weight on rotating mass is very important. He gave the old quote that saving 10 lbs of tire/wheel weight is as good as saving 100 lbs on the overall vehicle, especially when racing.
