it will get you into trouble in certain spots. There really is little to no place that 90 degrees of arti. will help, only hurt.

But hey, it is your rig- if you like it... roll with it.

Default got flex?

looks like it would be hard to run a body with that flex! my 2 cents!

Whoa - waaaay too much!
That much articulation will make it easier to get stuck in tight spots.

i dont thing that is good man... if you can hook up servos to the axles to pull them down to limit the flex, then i would do that!

Sorry for posting here about a Clod, but the issue is pretty much the same. My Clod chassis will articulate just like that, no shafts to bind though, but I'm thinking about adding some fuel tubing or similar to the shock shafts (I'm using the gray bodied, red springed Maxx shocks) just like the stock Clod has on it's dampers to limit things down to something more reasonable. Any thoughts?
