But right now I think all of the change you get in flight is from the weight of the wheels.
I dont think a bench test is a fair assumption. You have more variables in the air, if you could somehow balance the truck on strings and do it there would be a difference. It definitely works on 2w buggies , 1:1 fwd vehicles and shaft driven TC's (Tq steer). what else can it be? thats the only difference between our trucks. i can t feel the difference on my 2w buggy on the bench either but it has insane rear grip on the track compared to RM3.
