Using a normal nut when you need a tapered one would be inviting disaster. Your wheel would never be concentric.

One option if you need tapered lock nuts is to make tapered washers and the use a normal lock nut. Wouldn't be too hard to drill out a tapered nut and cut it down to turn it into a tapered washer.

Wheels:  I'm guessing its because of price but I'm a bit surprised we were the only Baja team that seemed to us Keizer Wheels.  They are heavily used in SAE Formula.  If you can find a Douglas rim in the size you need, they're cheaper.  But for a little more $ Keizer will make a rim in any bolt pattern, diameter, width, back spacing you want.  You can get absolutely zero scrub radius with custom back spacing!  Don't know what the current pricing is like but a custom rim with dent rings and mud cover cost about $120 back in the day.

With the demands of todays racers, you can get a Douglas wheel in almost any backspacing that you can dream of. Not only that, but personally I don't know how much I'm going to trust a road wheels with what we do. I've seen our Formula team break wheels. Judging by how many wheels I've destroyed, Baja just demands something stronger.

If you have a properly designed suspension, you can get a zero scrub radius with whatever wheel you choose. Like maybe something off the shelf.

EDIT- didn't realize that Keizer makes quad wheels too. Thought it was just sprint car and road wheels.

Along the lines of what tp said, would there be enough material to put the lugnut in the lathe and put a small taper on the end of it.

Most tapered lugs are 37 degrees (I believe). You would need a pretty massive lock nut to put that sort of taper on it.

Douglas wheels are almost all spaced 3" in from the outside.  Keizer will make you one spaced 0".  That means your custom A-arms can be 3" longer, better angle on the ball joints, more travel, what ever you want to design, etc.  Keizer makes nice spun metal race quad wheels.  Never damaged one with a anti-dent ring.

I misread what he was talking about, I thought he had a flat lugnut and just needed a tapered end, my mistake.

You can backspace Douglas wheels 1, 2, 3, 4, 4.5 or 5 inches. The problems is if you got too much one way or the other you end up putting lots of stress on your wheel bearings.

Douglas wheels can be had in 4+1 as well as the standard 3+2 offset.

I e-mailed Keizer near the end of '08 for some pricing so I'm not sure how current this is:

"Your front proring wheels will be 2pc,   run aprox $155.
The rear would be a 3pc wheel.   Aprox $185
This would be a proring wheels.  Strengthening ring to the outside.  Sweet

For $20 more you can add a mudcover to the wheel. 

Our strength is superior as it is 6061 T6 parts with no shortcuts.

Current pricing for Douglas wheels:

10x5 Wheel
3+2 Offset
4/156 Bolt Pattern  (This is a Yamaha Raptor wheel.)

Blue Label(.125): $58.00
Black Label(.160): $68.00

We have run Keizer wheels for the last 5 or so years and just now had one destroy itself at Michigan Tech's Winter Comp.

They hold up to the abuse quite well.  A little spendy but perform very well.

Where do you get your Douglas wheels from?  I'll need to buy some soon.  I need this:

anyone who has used carlisle at489 2*ply tires please share your experience . I personally think that 2ply is more prone to punctures or cuts. But my doubt is that will it get punctured even under normal conditions or only under harsh conditions. Any information will be appreciated. thankyou.

We have used them for our rears for our last 3 competitions and the only flat we had was due to a massive impact that also dented our trailing link, bent the lower camber link pretty bad and sheared the driveshaft...

They are a great lightweight rear tire.

Does anyone knows what are the typical values of the rolling resistance,and static friction coefficient of the mini Baja tire running on the tared track/road?

I do not exactly know the typical values for rolling resistance of a Baja tyre but however, based on my experience, they must be in the range of 10N - 150N. Please keep in mind that rolling resistance is a function of the vertical force, inflation pressure and forward speed of the tyre and hence I have expressed it as a range. 

You can experimentally determine your tyre's static friction coefficient by using a simple spring balance. This value would be realistic and it would also have more validity during your design evaluation and car's dynamic analysis.

Hi
I am working on the Mini Baja from South Africa. The total weight of the mini Baja including the weight of the baja is 310Kg. My aim is to archive the maximum velocity between the range of 50km/h-60km/h.But I only managed to archive 44km/h by calculations.
My question is, when I calculate the resistance forces, should I consider both Static friction and Rolling resistance friction? In my calculation I considered them both and I found that, the static friction has a very huge negative impact towards achieving my goal. Now I am not sure if I should take the static friction into account.

Static friction between the Baja Tires and the surface or road. Remember the rolling friction occurs between the tires and the surface also.

There is no such thing as a rolling resistance friction. It is either expressed as a moment or a force (not preferred). The rolling resistance moment maybe one of the reasons for your decreased speed range but however I would only investigate this after going through other losses such as the transmission, air drag etc. 

I do not understand what you mean by the next highlighted statement.

This is definitely not one of the reasons why you have a decreased speed range. I do not understand how you would use this and calculate the resistance forces. Friction is paramount for grip without which you would have 100% slip condition i.e. the tyre with a certain angular velocity but with no forward speed. 

My suggestion would be to reinvestigate the losses in your transmission.

Yes. For example: F_static = u*N, where (u=0.4) static friction coefficient and (N=310kg*9.81) normal force. Therefore F_static = 0.4*310*9.81 = 3041.1N. And F_rolling = u*N, where (u=0.02) rolling resistance coefficient and (N=310kg*9.81) normal force. Therefore F_rolling = 0.02*310*9.81 = 60.822N.

Remember there is also an air drag resistance force that I have to add on these two forces.

My question again, do I add Air drag resistance force with rolling resistance force or Air drag resistance force with static friction resistance force or I have to add all three resistance forces in order to get the total resistance force for an accelerating Baja from rest on a flat level track??

Now I get what you want to ask. 

To be honest, whether to consider the static or rolling friction coefficient is a pretty basic concept, I would suggest you rethink this and try to imagine the car as a brick or a brick with wheels. 

Coming to the second part, the air drag is an additional resistance the car faces, so it is a separate effect. 

The last part, regarding the rolling resistance, I think needs some clarification. The rolling resistance is purely a resistance offered by the viscoelastic nature of the tyre rubber to a freely rolling tyre. This is coming solely from your tyre and hence is also a separate effect.
