Shocks off the Back!!!

[GPS1]

Can anyone explain to me why I'm seeing people running their BJ4's with the rear shocks hung off the very back?! i.e, the wrong way round to the standard kit way. It looks like an easy job to do, re-mount the rear tower off the back brace, drill the wishbones on the rear and re-hang the shocks!!
But, what effect does this have on the handling of the car?

Never seen it personally mate but i would imagine its to stop the rear end collapsing. i dont know why they would do it though or what difference it will make

If I didn't explain myself very well perhaps this picture will help!!

they are that way round on an Atomic Carbon S4 aswell...

maybe Jonathan can enlighten us?

You're quite right, the Atomic run's this way too! They're also like this on the Losi! I'v even seen it done on some Yok's?!

i thought id seen on a yok
i think it just makes it more stable at the back
