What are the differences between using offset wheels vs. flipping my wheels? I noticed some bumpsteer when I flipped the wheels. Would it be the same with offset wheels? Would a +3 front end on my quad produce lots of bumpsteer or should it still be okay? I am planning on making some arms for my quad and I would like to go with a +3 but I noticed some bumpsteer which I didnt like from just flipping the wheels.

Flipping your wheels and offset wheels both increase bumpsteer. Using longer A-arms does not increase bumpsteer. Basically, the further the wheel sticks out past the pivot point of the spindle, the more leverage it has and the more bumpsteer you will experience. Longer A-arms does not affect the relationship between the wheel and the spindle at all.
