CMS question

[jeepscx10]

I was wondering if there are any benefits with having a chassis mounted servo over axle mounted servo or is the CMS just for scale looks?

Thanks in advance,
Kenneth

when i built my dingo kit i noticed the corners of the servo hit the frame when one shock was cycling at a time. wasnt horrible but noticeable.

when i went to the CMS the suspension seemed to cycle a little smoother.

Its just for scale looks. If anything, it will perform at best the same, at worse, terrible.

It raises the center of gravity and introduces the issue of bump steer. Those are the main two I have noticed going to a CMS.

Correction. Bump steer will not be introduced with a properly set up panhard bar and suspension.

If you simply throw on a CMS kit with the stock 4-link or 3-link suspension, it will have a certain amount of bump steer.
