Suspension - E-Maxx - geometry

[pauster]

Just curious - a question for the experts -

the upper A-arms on an e-maxx are shorter than the lower A-arms,
so that when the shocks are compressed the angle of the wheel
changes inwards - what purpose does this serve ? If the A-arms formed
a parallelogram, what would happen ?

The purpose of this is to give you more negative camber when the suspension is compressed, like when you are turning. If the a-arms formed a parallelogram, there would be better chance of the edge of the tire digging in, and flipping the car. I hope this makes sense. :cool:
