The mono shock gives a very smooth,soft ride just like on an ATV. there's no pitching or difference than with dual shocks that I can tell. Using a Mono shock is all about angle. The IRS portion has issues!!! Getting un-sprung weight right with wheel pitch is proving to be a challenge, but I'll get it right- or live-able through experimentation, if not I'll change over to a straight axle. All my builds are experimental just to see what combination of parts provide the most "Fun Time" in a buggy.

Bootboy1488- I have more aluminum sheets and ABS plastic to finish the rear panels- venting/airflow and access to the all the parts is my biggest consideration-Mesh would be a consideration though- "Function over Form"
Getting the kid's buggy up & running has taken priority over the completing of this buggy right now.
