Hi I was recently thinking about your articulating design, in cases of high push from front end to rear end or rear end to front end do you know if it would try to raise one tire of the ground or cause one tire to slip more easily due to less down force on that particular tire?

Dswietlisbach, first of all, welcome to the forum. Secondly, you're commenting on a thread that was started over (6) years ago and JimT hasn't logged on here since June. Your question sounds reasonable, but I don't know how long it will be until he answers it.

Again, welcome.

I think it’s allowed to swivel between both sections too besides being articulated. I think by locking the differentials and having full four wheel drive is the was to go. Even if the spider gears were loaded with spring wave washers somehow unless we weld the gears to the carrier.
