Default Re: Tank Slappers

The worst slapper I ever had, the front wheel didn't leave the ground at all, and I was going in a straight line... Didn't hit a convenient object either. Just got unweighted enough to get out of shape, and the rapid weighting and unweighting served to set things a wobbling.

My point is that there's no one reason it happens- but hard acceleration's probably most common exiting corners, in road use, so naturally a lot will happen on the way out of a bend.
