Flex is not everything... but it does help :)
My IFS Lux has sweet F all flex but we still came away with 2 trophies in last years comps beating lots of rigs with much better travel.
I still wish I had some flex though.

unfortunatly yes :oops: to stop it i need to tapper the lower control arms in from the diff to the chassi

but in doing that the mounts would hang down off the chassi and would loose ground clearance /and a hang up catch up point would be created

so i either put shorter shocks or limiting straps on to control it
and yes there can be too much flex

Need to flatten out your roll axis in the rear, reverse triangulation of the lowers should help :D
