Air Locker Question

PuddleJumper · Post by **PuddleJumper** » Sat Feb 03, 2007 8:39 pm

Hi all, I've recently installed a Air locker in the rear of my Escudo and was wondering if it should be used on down hill sections of track? Sometimes going down stepped sections of rough terrain using engine braking (if there is such a thing being a suzi) one of the rear wheels of the truck will loose contact with the ground resulting in the truck taking off for a split second. So i presume having the locker engaged it will not 'run away' when this happens?? Any thoughts.

ps. Hav'nt even had a chance to use it yet! :roll:

I have a locker in the rear of the Safari, and if there is a decent that looks like I might lift a wheel I intend to engage it to stop it taking off.

Sounds good in theory, I just haven't put it into practice yet :roll:

Thanks for your thoughts.

Guess the only way to find out really is to use it!! The more often the better

yes, they are brilliant for going downhill as well.

Makes a rough decent easy in lots of control.
