Re: Ryuz FF
Here are some pictures of the steering on my FF buggy...
Instead of the pivot point being in the middle of a bellcrank, I moved the pivot point right up front and this allows it to actually sit on the sides of the front gearbox, close to the outdrives. To achieve this, the bellcranks actually mount to the upper deck instead of the lower one. The bellcranks now pivot forward instead of backwards in a typical setup.
This took a long time to figure out how to get everything working freely but it's working!
Bellcranks mounted on bottom side of upper deck
That's all the space there is between the servo and the front gearbox.

Re: Ryuz FF
I think it looks great, and they all kind of remind me of a frog with outstretched rear legs, so how about
La Grenouille
French for Frog I think?

Re: Ryuz FF
Super Freaky! The back end, when the narrow tires are used, kinda looks like some sort of mutant swamp-buggy... I want one!
For names, I like Stinkbug (as mentioned above)... or, of course, "Halgar"
BTW - We hear it handles quite well, does that include jumps?
Here's a 2nd request for some action videos!

Re: Ryuz FF
The top 10 Reasons it should be called the Halgar:
10 - It is one of a kind, just like me.
9 - It handles abuse well, just like me.
8 - It was made with love, just like me.
7 - It's easy to use, just like me.
6 - It likes to play in the mud, just like me.
5 - It's photogenic, just like me.
4 - It's a little strange, just like me.
3 - It's a little annoying, just like me.
2 - It's coveted, just like me.
And the number one reason why it should be named Halgar:
It drives BloodClod nuts that it's cooler than he is, just like me.

Re: Ryuz FF
BTW, thanks for all the cool name suggestions! On another board they were also suggesting names like Super Cricket and a nice one was YKP-10 which sounds so retro-japanese-rc-ish. lol. YKP are initials for a word in a local dialect translated "yellow tadpole".
