FridgeFreezer Posted July 22, 2016 Share Posted July 22, 2016 CD - having more flex definitely helps with the feeling of stability over rough ground, I'm always reminded of how terrifying it must feel to be in something like this: Compared to just bimbling over it straight & level in something with some flex. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chicken Drumstick Posted July 22, 2016 Share Posted July 22, 2016 I wonder how many actually fall over... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FridgeFreezer Posted July 22, 2016 Share Posted July 22, 2016 Academic as they never go off-road The FL suffers from (relatively) low articulation, and it can feel quite squeaky-bum waving wheels in the air, but the lower CoG & lower seating position does make it feel much better the rest of the time, especially on side-slopes. I'll happily drive the FL along slopes I'd think twice about in the 109 and wouldn't even entertain in the ambulance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RPR Posted July 22, 2016 Share Posted July 22, 2016 I love the Drumstick rig. No outward evidence that it's a stealth Series and then wham!!! - look at the leafer flex. Love it! Very nice looking 88 there RPR, I'd seen the 3rd pic on Pirate I think. I still wonder if I should try the mil/1 ton shackles on mine. But tbh, it goes more than well enough for my needs. And it would be a shame fiddle un-needed. FF - I agree, I don't think ultimate articulation is required either. Which is why I've not really done anymore to mine now. However I would say, it now feels like a completely different vehicle. Far more stable and competent. Don't get me wrong, it went quite well previously, but there is a big improvement in all regards. It also rode the rough tracks very well green laning. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
