Mega Dump Truck Articulation!

Check out the articulation that this dump truck has! It's got more than those rock crawling trucks.

i don't think that counts as articulation... the right rear tire looks to be flat and that just raised up the front end... actual articulation is when all 4 wheels are on the ground and the suspension is flexing.

You are right. Here's the picture to show actually what happened to it. It looks like the rock he was carrying tipped over, and put all the weight on the right rear. I just thought it was crazy how much this truck is leaning. Too bad our Z's couldn't have that much flex.

I was meaning 12 feet of flex. Proportionately, our Z's probably have more.
