they could be interesting given that I have minimal rear articulation on mine
What does that mean
Does it actually move yet

It means my rear axle has feck all travel
Nope still don't see it, where does the axle travel, and what difference does that make
Anyway good news that it will be running

Its been running for a few weeks
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
I summarize "articulation is axle travel" "axle travel is articulation"

Its self explanatory that way
the axle has to travel when the springs compressed less prop movement there is the less it can move

You are just trying to scare the Freelanders off
Its a secret, but non of them have dared to sign up anyway

What does that mean
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.It means my rear axle has feck all travel
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)
