That thing pivots like crazy.
I don't run a rear brake on mine but I'd like to try it on my next rig.

I have seen rigs with disconnect and rear brake with too little weight on the rear end...they tend to not pivot around like that. The rear will just slide around

Looks pretty good. The slick floor is a big part of why it "pivots" so easy. The outside tire just slides around. Out in the rocks,it probably won't DIG as well. Added wheelspeed will help it though.

The Slingers grip the tile pretty good. I dont think you can hear it in the vid, but they make that hallow large tire scubing sound. Yea, the rocks will be different. I can't wait for the snow to melt here so I can get out and test it.
