TIL that Elliot uses paddle shifters for rear steer

[mjkproductions]

Found it interesting and worth sharing when I saw in a video that Elliot actually uses paddle shifters in Maximum Destruction instead of a toggle for the rear steering in his truck. Did anyone know this before? I was just thinking the other day that paddle shifters would be a lot more efficient and easier.

Last time I checked Werner, and Meents also ran it..and have since that chassis was built

Interesting, I would've never guessed that. I'm surprised all drivers don't use it.

Not really a difference between them and a toggle honestly, comes down to driver perfrence..but it would be harder to hit in a normal truck via the current location while a toggle switch is easier, since the location of the paddle is on the 2nd part of the door's cage last time I checked thus why the run that.

Yeah, I'm pretty sure meents has said this many a time. Still an interesting little segment I figure.

This is a perfect video for this topic.  The quality isnt the best but you can see Tom's old paddle pretty well.  The rear steering segment starts around 5:40
