and there's all kinds of weight...
rotating mass (e.g. roadwheel) very bad weight - rotating plus unsprung. fixed, unsprung - not as bad, still bad. high above the roll center - sub-great. below the roll center, offset to your turn bias requirement - as good as you're going to get. If it's gotta be somewhere, that's a good place. (unless your roll center is below ground, which happens, in which case, anchors are bad...) a pound on the wheels will hurt you more than a pound in the chassis. A pound on the crankshaft is a lot... but in case of confusion, F = mA, or F = mV-squared |
