Pre-Drilled Bodies

[Hogans Racing]

I usually order my bodies pre-drilled because I haven't aquired all the tools I need to do my own. A good buddy of mine told me I needed to check them before I spend a bunch of time on them to make sure the rears migrate out towards the head. I did this last night and two bodies did not. The rears did not migrate out. If I run the car in reverse they do? Any thoughts on this, and is there something I could do to fix this? They are all drilled rears canted for SP and SS.

i would send them back where you ordered them

If the dfw is drilled too high it may cause toe in. Are you test rolling with the dfw canted or flat? What is the wheel base?

You might not have straight axles. Try turning them,do one at a time

rotate your axles 180 degrees and run them forward.

my gut says your axles aren't straight. (+1 to what JAC said)

Thanks JAC I will try that. One body is 4 5/8 wheelbase the other is 4 3/4. The wheels are cheetah V3's and the axles are 92x, straight no bend in the DFW axle. They roll straight but the rears don't migrate out rolling forward, only backwards?

Roll it with a canted dfw and see if it gets better.

Will do, Thanks! I will post the results.
