I remember the previous Debate, hence why I didn't actually put a Number ;)

Standard geometry, surely not! :wink:

LR spent a fair whack o' spendables on getting high-speed handling right on the RRS. :wink: Bowler will now be doing what they did with the DII - improving it - no point reinventing the wheel! Be interestin' to see if they build any adjustment into it.

The front wishbones look fairly 'substantial' to say the least!

I agree, and am the first to suggest keeping things standard - I race with a std 3.9 after all!  Alot to be said for using the considerable development budgets of manufacturers to your advantage.  I am well aware how good the high speed handling on the RRS is, just surprised that the suspension geometry will be compatible with the long travel needed for a successful rally raid truck.  Independent suspension and long travel is a little more complicated to get right than the live axle DII set up.

That being said, I know there are some restrictions on how much travel you can have in the rules these days.

Yeah, I'd heard that too. I wonder how that'll impact on the Amercian style pro-trucks that are increasingly rearing thier heads, as they seem to be built on huge travel. Watch this space, as they would say!

Thay've not been that successful in European/African style rally raid events though have they?  Maybe they are already handicapped.
