I haven't got the mag, but I have had a quick look see at the real thing (parked not driven)
Its fairly standard spring over using mazda 303 leaves (Ithink)
spoa was done by 4play
Its got 32 x 16 Mongrels.
can't remember anything else, sorry, was only a quick look, hoping to see it action before I like it or not
It may have rear discs and a 1.6, but memory could be wrong...
His son is in our club with a very capable swb, locked OME, series 3 and 30" mudders.

4play do a scissor shackle, similar in principal to the climax, only better in my opinion, so it could be those on the rear, I expect.

no, they are a bit net disadvantaged, but Moose, Besty and a few others in here have close ties to Joe @ 4play
Me and Besty helped with his LOGO
I don't live too far from his factory, so can drop in if need be.

Hopefully one of the boys will look at this and know something.
Thinking if they work well might look into them more. Looks a neat zook.

I only had a quick look, but it appears lighter, more able to twist, so therefore less restrictive to travel..climax are so rigid, they dont always open fully... It has a method to make inversion of shackle less likely, tho I am not tech enuff to explain....was cheaper, too, but can't remember how much....I didn't pay much attention, because I believe unsprung travel isn't necessarily a good thing.
