On a rough track Dog bones are better ( less binding)

On a semi smooth track Unis are great.

On a smooth track cvd's are best.


Team drivers use too & still do swap the cvd's out of the B4 to RTR dog bone set up on a rough blown out track.

I noticed my Ultima is better with dog bones on our rough track over Uni joints. The only real bad point of dog bones is they are left behind if the rear breaks off. I paint mine yellow to stand out if this happens.

Oh my Re re Frog is so much better with the Dog bone set up then the CVD option that Tamiya does . Lots if binding with the cvd at max travell of the suspension.
Vintage . Older is Better !!!!!!! Vintage At Boondal, Australia.
