they angle the shocks because of two things , it gives the shock more leverage on the arm and with more leverage you have to run harder shock/ spring package than you would with convencional geometry therefore resulting in less side to side roll and overall more traction, on TC it has never been implemented because it would overheat the tires quicker ( or maybe not since there’s no roll or weight transfer) but it would interesting to see how a TC with very little roll would perform compare to the likes of the awesomatixs and Xrays.
