I predict that truck will live a short and very violent life.

I dunno about that. The driver seems to know what hes doing. The suspension is amazing on that thing. Nice vid. |

That truck seems to be a lot more durable than most think. I too thought it would not hold up as well as a summit but I have seen many videos of people beating on then and they seem to take it and keep on going. I just don't like the torque twist it gets under hard acceleration it seems to be really pronounced and excessive.

Supposedly there's a rear swaybar that will help that, but it's not installed from the factory. However, he's running the damn thing on 25 volts, so the torque twist is way beyond what anyone would see under normal conditions. I don't know if there is a swaybar stiff enough to keep the rear axle under control with that much power going through it. |

There will always be torque twist with a solid axle. That's one of the big reasons why independent suspension became so popular on full-size passenger cars -- no torque twist. A properly set-up hybrid suspension system will allow enough droop in the IFS that it can keep both front wheels on the ground when the solid rear axle is trying to twist the chassis sideways. Of course, that might not be possible if the suspension is set-up stiff enough to survive "sick jumps".
