    That's awesome!

    Look close when the red weight is dropped on the back of the trailer, and you can see the back end of the model mustang rise a fraction

    Meaning that the mustang now has more weight on the front than the rear wheels and tires, breaking the rear wheels grip...


    INSTANT DRIFT CAR!!!


    This beautifully demonstrates why to load TONGUE HEAVY, and what you want to keep in mind when adjusting or setting up a load distribution hitch.

    A properly set up LDH can actually CORRECT a set of springs on a tow vehicle, if they are too stiff. But putting any lift at all above stock un-hitched ride height does exactly what you see above.

    Load Distribution and Suspensions get to be a real deep topic - I bet this will be a good long discussion


    * It looks like they can also move the 'axles' forward and back on the model trailer!
