but whatsit do!
Will this kit fit on the slash 4×4?
thank you
Remember the wide-track Ponitacs? Or the cab-forward Chryslers? That’s what this kit does. I’m no engineer but will try to explain how it works. Think of it this way, go out and ride an old Honda three-wheeler, now a four-wheeler.
First the wider front shock tower allows the shocks to place more pressure on the front tires, giving you more steering control. It does this without the risk of a traction roll, which is what I’ve experienced when I tried to locate the front shocks on the stock tower.
Now add in the longer front and rear a-arms. These add stability. In high speed flat sections the truck will be less likely to be upset by bumps, rocks, cracks, or other track imperfections. The longer arms also allow more wheel travel. Take a pencil, hold it about two inches from one end and move the other end up and down making it pivot where you hold it. Now hold the pencil at the very end, pivot it. That’s what longer arms do.
Combine these and what you end up with is a 2X4 laying flat, not on it’s edge. I raced with a guy last summer that called his truggy a flying mattress, wide, flat, and stable. Exactly the reason I’m buying one of these kits.
