Re: Changing COG Dynamically
It's all hypothetical at this point.
But if you had a truck with great suspension, as light as possible, then you still have this large open area in the bed. And if one could drive to a track, bolt in a frame, add some ballast, and then the truck would perform much better, why not?
The point is how to use the large space in the bed to make the truck handle better. I only see the benefits of actively controlling COG, and not much downside. Cost would be an issue in development but how much would a frame, two electric motors, and small computer with accelerometer really cost? A few hundred bucks? And if it drastically increased the performance of your pro touring truck by using a large empty space? Plus have another 'gadget' to show off on race day?
