Couldn't find the pic, but this long video shows why SFA is better than IFS.

This isn't the set of pics that I was thinking about but it illustrates the same point. It's not exactly the same vehicle, but darn close enough, same wheelbase, one with SFA, the other with IFS.

Nope, the nuff said ones are dump....both have tires lifting off the ground on the first set and then the second one they're not even in the same area...oh well.

These are the original ones that I was thinking of!! It illustrates the point very well. Same vehicle, same exact location.

Like Troy said... you can build an IFS rig to do just as well or better (desert racing guys do it all the time $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$)... it is very hard to make a long travel IFS rig handle on the road though... SFA is much simpler in that department.

Here's what happens when a trophy truck turns on pavement....

those are some tight shocks and they are super soft to a lot of force on a turn
