Just wanting to here some pros and cons of a swing are modified compared to a four link. What does one have over the other?

i hear with a swing arm car that they are much easier to drive. Also i think there is a little more room for error on the drivers portion compared to a 4 link. I think they are a plus for beginner to veteran drivers.

well my theory behind that would be that with a 4 link car you have to constantly stay on the throttle to stay hooked up. With a swing arm car it doesnt require that same with a three link so i would imagine it would be easier to control and stay competititve.

That could be I think that there is some geometric reasoning to it also. I four wheelers and dirtbike the have one swing arm and for some reason it is better in rough terrain
