Why is active caster not more common with off-road cars. I just got back into racing, and I am not impressed by the newer cars that are out. I have been out for about 7 years, and cars really has not drastically changed. Performance wise, they are more stable, have a lil bit more steering, but nothing that has given me the WOW factor.

Even to this day my Double X with Schumachers Active Caster sysem will out steer a B4 or XXX. I am trying to modify my B4 so I can run a active caster system in the front.

So why even after all these years companies do not try running the same concept Schumacher has done with their old 2wd cars.

It seems like all these manufacturers are taking ideas from each other. Look at Associated when Losi came out wit the Double X. Associated basically copied the concept that Losi came up with. Why does neither of these manuf. try Schumachers idea and improve on it. Why would they not want awesome steering. Match that awesome steering with the stability of the newer cars and you will have one fast 2wd buggy.
