strange.. have been told otherwise.

and also because of the center of gravity and wheel width, normal slop will be multiplied on the trucks.. perhaps that's it.

hello, i am new here (this is my first post). from my past experiences with xmods, i dont know about this evo truck. I know its a brand new chassis, but all the xmods i ever had lasted about a month. i am very courious so i might grab one and compare it to my stock f-150. once i get a chance to pick one up ill post what i think.

Bearings take away almost ALL of the Wheel play in the xmod evolutions. The stock nylon bushings are horrible.

Just posting to say I got my Overland today...WOW. The suspension travel is amazing, super smooth. The only complaint I have is that the tires aren't as grippy as the X-truck's...but I can always mount up some Lego Tires.

The wheel slop hasen't really been a problem for me.

My XM truck May most likely be able to Out Articulate an OL, only because of the Swivil rear end, the XM-Truck Isint using Suspension to articulate, rendering the rear suspension preety much useless.

I doo love my F-150 tho, i didn't relize Offroading was soo fun. With the articulation mod and Body lift done, I can drive over my Old Xmods.

I can go past that......

Be surprised..my Harrier outflexed my lifted F-150...and stole it's tires while it was at it. I found with a little stretching and body sanding you can fit the Xmod Lift Kit tires fit on stock OL rims.. .

Why does the front end just stay up like that? Or have you invented an invisible block?
Something tells me the suspension after your mod must not be very smooth
