Wheel Forces
I was just curious if anyone has really calculated the wheel loads for a typical locost and what worst case loads you used. I'm starting an
analysis, but thought I'd ask before I wasted my time. I'm assuming loads significantly higher then usual due to the fact I don't
know what a pothole generates. Worst case is 1.5g decel, 1.5g turn-in (I know, 2.25g's would be a little tough to realize, but 1.5 is the upper
limit of super sticky race tires with no aero) and a 3g apex strike on the outer wheel. Any thoughts? Cheers!

Hitting a 90 degree kerb when getting it wrong whilst drifting has major "g" and inversion tendencies. And probably worst case loads.

Have to agree with a drifting curb strike being the worst! But in the event of a high speed 90deg curb stike, I'd be happier to have the arm
buckle than rip the mounts off my chassis. Priorities may vary.
