I checked the Mudball web page http://jbjeep.terahex.com/default.html
(I think that is the jeep you are discussing) and it does indeed have
a front OX and a rear Detroit. I don't know about the behavior Bill
is describing but in all fairness the discussion needs to be
redirected taking into account the actual types of lockers involved.
This is a very usefull and interesting discussion for jeepers looking
into a locker and it would be great to hear from actual users.
