uhh quick quesion why does it matter? too much articulation is BAD, the most that is useful is 70 at most, too much casue too much drop and incontrolled steering

pinkfloydman... you said it... 65-70 degree is all you need.. 90-180 degrees is not going top do you a bit of good.. put a rig with 90-180 degrees articulation up against a rig with 65-70 degree and see who comes out on top.

I agree, anything over 70 or 75 degree's is too much.. it messes stuff up. 90* and over is just useless.. the axle would go inverted then not come back upright...

no, i was just refering to having too much articulation.. basically anything over 75* is un necessary... well atleast in my opinion it would be...

Ya know I seen a few other people sayin that , whats the disadvantage of to much articulation?? I figured anything beyond standing one axle on end is to much cuz after that it would wanna flop over and flip yer rig depending on the situation!!! Just gessin thow
