Ya, you're going to get a lot of torque twist with that set-up.

Default more views

here are some more views. i realize that the truck will squat but i have two shocks in the front. I am having a hard time locating the rears. they really rob the trucks ability to twist

Default Rear Steer Is With

The rear steer is with aluminum mounts for airtronics 358 200oz servos and a JR xr3. i put a screw in the third channel button to allow easy use of the indenpendent rear steer. I can steer it if needed or crab walk or turn very tight in spots that would not be climbable (spellcheck) . I have a 1:1 custom competition jeep based crawler.we were at an event ProRock 2 in Florence AZ where there was a spot that no rig was able to climb until a rig called Bulldozer set up for the climb it had raer steer and was able to drive right up the spot like it was a road. Rear steer is a awesome tool if you can master how to use it and have a strong enough servo to lock the steering stright when not in use

How do you think it will get rid of the torqe twist by mounting savage shocks without the springs and only having the center spring?

Just ask yourself this: How is this set up going to help? What are the benefits over a traditional set up?

I'm all for trying new things....I think I've proven that!


However, you always have to ask yourself.....how will this set up work better than any other set up? .....or you are just waisting time. It's like saying, "I'm going to run buggy tires instead of monster truck tires because no one does it and it's different. There is no benefit but I'm going to try it." If there is no benefit, don't waste time and money doing it.
In closing.....I hope he tries it and I hope it works but in my opinion, looking at the idea and thinking about it, there is no benefit. I think it will hurt overall performance. But that is from just looking at the design. Good luck!!!!!!!!!!
