Probably quite right . Still there's something that intrigues me about this. I agree fully that with the shock floating between the 2 fulcrums that it will actually aggravate body roll. If there were 2 shocks fixed at one end it would be no different than a rocker arm suspension. Again ,no benefit so far as body roll is concerned. In the end,no net benefit and with the added weight,complexity and expense. Still intrigued though.
We should remember that the function a sway bar provides is to actually LIFT the inside tire/suspension when the outside tire/suspension compresses to pull the inside down,in effect adding weight to the inside tire /suspension,lessening body roll. In that respect a bar does the job better than the transverse shock and linkage would. Still,on a long travel,there is something that makes me rethink this principle compared to a bar over and over. I like the principle but don't see a net benefit. Oh,well,I like people that are not afraid to try new things whether on RC stuff or full size.
