I just did my first 3 wheel today, and was just wondering if my rear quarters will buckle, or frame twist, or break a cylinder, if my frame is not reinforced. It is just a slow rolling 3, nothin crazy, will it hurt anything, Well any info will help. Thankz.

more specs would really help, batteries, car, placement of bastteries etc. as it is not totally the 3 wheel motion that puts a toll on your car, it is the weight of the batteris twisting on the frame. Just more info is needed for a better answer.

as a general rule, you should have reinfoecements.

Thankz man, My set up has 4 batteries in the middle front part of the trunk with 2 pumps right in front of them, everything is in the center of the trunk, hope this helps any. Thankz.

 

[regallowlow187]

Oh yeah my bad, It is in an 85 Regal, if that also helps.

 

[SWITCHCRAFT]

shouldn't be that bad on it....the weight is evenly distributed.......not off to the corners

 

[regallowlow187]

Anyone else got sum advice

 

[lowcaddy87]

do you have power balls? if so you should be good , if you have hyme joints aka rod ands they will moastlikely break

 

[regallowlow187]

Hey thankz, yeah I got powerballs with 12 inch cylinders, so thats ok to do it then.

I had 12s on my first cutlass with hyme joints the wont break if theyre welded on right . And you wont buckle anything but look out for bumps.Also look out for the car fish-tailing my little brothers cutlass rear end did this once and hit a curb and bent a rim.

yes... the quarter pannel will will kink... and will have a ripple in it that you can never get rid offf. you need magor reinforce ment over the rear bells..( the frame that wraps over the rear wheels) i have a buddy that has the same exact car.. and this happened to him. and his car had reinforcement.. with alot of weight in the trunk to ..

NOT TRUE MAN YOU DONT NEED REINFORCEMENT TO ROLLING 3 A G-BODY IVE HAD 3 OF THEM THE QUATERS WONT KINK UNLESS YOU HAVE A WHOLE LOT OF WEIGHT IN TE BACK.IVE HAD 10 BATTS IN THE BACK OF ONE AND RODE IT FOR A YEAR WITH NO REINFORCEMENT ,IT NEVER KINKED ,WHEN I DID STAP IT IT WAS TO STIFFEN UP MY HOP.
IF YOU KEEP THE SETUP YOU HAVE AND DONT GET RECKLESS WITH IT YOULL BE FINE.OH YEAH A G- BODY WILL 3 WHEEL EVEN IF THE WEIGHT ISNT IN THE TRUNK EVEN IF THE WHOLE SET UP IS IN THE BACK SEAT THE 12S ARE ALL YOU NEED NO WEIGHT.I DID IT WITH 10s 3 TURNS OF COIL, AND THE SAME SET UP YOU HAVE .

 

[Switchezz]

ive heard of rolling 3s damaging your engine because all of the oil goes to one side of the motor for a prolonged length of time

[midwestrhyda]

to be safe, no! get a wrap or re enforcements, most of my frame is wrapped now but i still dont hit too many 3's, if you put all this money in the car be safe or it'll go down the toilet. :biggrin: good luck, its your car and time so its always up to you

i agree my frame got fucked up from hopp'N and 3 wheel your car isnt made to do this type of stuff so you have to reinforce the metal when i took my old frame off the whole frame was angled inward fucked up reinforce you frame saves you money in the long run :biggrin:
