We’ve shown you enough rockbouncers that I’m sure you can take a good guess: how much money do you think the average bouncer costs to create? Remember, you’re looking at one nasty high-horsepower mill, a bulletproof automatic transmission, bomb-proof axles, a transfer case that’s gifted from the heavens above, more fabrication time and labor that I dare think about personally, and a chunky set of tires that are expected to grip like a scared cat on carpet, surface be damned. For most of us, that’s a once-in-a-lifetime commitment. For Tim Cameron, that’s a yearly investment in R&D. Cameron has run several different rigs throughout the years, but his newest one, “Stand Back”, is something to behold, and the 1,400 horsepower mill moving everything might be the least impressive part of the whole thing. Stand Back is running a leading arm front suspension setup. Basically, take your typical trailing arm setup, flip it and hope that it works. That’s what Cameron is doing, because Stand Back is the first ‘bouncer running the setup, and it’s debut in Texas was the first shot at seeing what it could do. It had some bugs to work out, sure, but when it’s working…watch the axles dance. The articulation this thing has at speed is ridiculous! It’s like watching a tarantula running across the ground in spots.
Just wait until the teething issues are sorted out!
