Re: popdown casters

We are using a pop down caster this year, ours has half an inch of travel (we added an internal stop to a 2" stroke cylinder, since thats what we had to use)


We made it just enough to pull the weight off the tires on our back end and to help from oversteer caused by the caster we plan on dragging the tires just slightly (this also helps our stability with one caster, although we have a really low center of gravity as it is)
