maybe i,ll bring my waffle boards then, dont want to break anything while im on holiday
 
According to nrgserv, the steps are OK going down, bit harder going up. The route is such that you could choose which way to drive them without it making a lot of difference.
 
It means my rear axle has feck all travel :p its gonna be moving next weekend hopefully :D gonna see about plumbing in a temporary rad now that I have a pair of prop shafts to test fit and slave cylinder

Nope still don't see it, where does the axle travel, and what difference does that make :confused:

Anyway good news that it will be running :D:D

Its been running for a few weeks :p and axle travel is how much articulation I can get. Axle has to travel up and down but I lose some of that with a tiny prop shaft

Don't ever go into teaching :p

I summarize "articulation is axle travel" "axle travel is articulation"

Clear as mud :D:D:D:D

what he means to say is that when one wheel one the axle is pushed uppards due to a rock, the other wheel on the same axle also goes up, lifting it off the ground.
combine this with the same happening on the other axle but diagonally (ie front offside on a brick and rear nearside on a brick) then the two diagonally oppsite wheels that are trying to come off the ground receive the drive (or power from the engine) and therefor spin.

good articulation is where all four wheels maintain ground contact enabling drive to be distributed reasonably equally.

going down the rock steps is easier as you have gravity on your side, going up you need enough momentum to get past "cocking a wheel" and loosing that drive, but not so much that breakage occurs.

worst case scenario is that stone ramps are built to keep the articulation even, or as said above, the use of waffle boards.

as long as it aint covered in snow and ice, dont think there'll be much of an issue. may be interesting for the more novices. (so long as their aware and happy to try it)
