part of me says "who needs suspension"! but I have a theory that on slow off road trucks, we only need suspension on the front, and very little on the back. Dunno, hard to tell but high speed needs lots of travel but rock crawling and off-road needs stability as well as travel .. so yeah maybe rigid rear, like the sheep, then flexy front like a crawler?
I dont know anyone that has a hard tail crawler. I think it would suffer with getting over most of the trails we do. As with the Sherp, in the video, you dont see many other guys where I was, even with the Humvee, I wasnt able to drive where they were. neither rig could do it. I have to stick to easy terrain with the Sherp and medium terrain with the Humvee(because it lacks the clearance that normal crawlers have)
@@ccdbcvtrider1 Funny you should mention it, but I ran my Fury with very solid antiroll and it climbed well.. I've since worked out how to maintain supple ride AND reduced roll, which is even better but on an incline, solid rear becomes less of a disadvantage the steeper it gets!! cheers 👍🍺🇬🇧
@@carlbModels Thats good that it worked out for you. maybe Ill test it out on my TRX4...lock the rear shocks, and see what it does. Thanks for the tip.
@@ccdbcvtrider1 well, try reducing the travel or increasing spring rate. As it approaches vertical, suspension becomes less relevant unless you're rock bouncing. The further the angle from the pull of gravity, the less the springs do... plus at up to the 45 degree mark, you're getting weight transfer that compresses the spring and takes more load off the fronts! or were you being sarcastic, it's hard for me to tell being on the autistic spectrum ⁉️sorry if you were being genuine 👍🍺🇬🇧
