Thread: ACE is it worth waiting for

ImageUploadedByTapatalk1377902707.653036.jpgThis shows the Offroad effect of ace better then anything I have seen. Found it in an old LRO Mag

Matt,

Do you know which issue of LRO that article is in?

cheers

I am an ACE fan but how they compared a 100" wheel base and a 110" wheelbase in the very same obstacle and took that pic(and conclusion?)

I agree, the 110 is also over on a greater angle so not a fair comparison.

Did they use a coil spring or SLS Discovery? I'd be interested to see what difference that makes too.

THe point raised above re the different wheel base dimensions is very valid. However, I think the pictures do still show that the ACE allows some good flexibility still.

Your ACE system runs to your wheels? Something strange going on there!

Also pretty sure ACE lines only run down one side of the vehicle as the hydraulic arm is only on one side. There isn't separate left and right arms.

I thought both trucks have a very similar angle on the front wheel . Don't thing they were fussy enough to put the camera on a tripod. And get the trucks in exactly the same spot. Interesting shot is my point.
Not trying to have a go at a 110. Just pointing out the decent flex from a stock Ace disco.
No detail on SLS or not. Most disco I have seen with ace were 7 seaters is fare chance it is an SLS truck.

Stock SLS and ACE. No other truck to compare it to.
