I was rumaging around on NAXJA tonight and come across this rear spring set up on a waggy. Its interesting and looks like it was well built. Kinda reminds me of the revolver shackle.

Looks interesting but there is no provision for twist like a Revolver. With it hanging down there would be a lot of torque on those bolts. The extra droop is still uncontrollable and it looks like a lot of spring tension will build. Still, interesting!

looks similar to revolver (in function) uncontrollable droop, probably unloads when not wanted to, and when unloaded, relies on the unsprung weight for traction.
probably works just as good as (or as bad as) the revolver.

it really depends on how hard you wheel the rig. for a ramp queen it works awsome. for a real crawler...not so much.
