Re: Interesting suspension idea
I thought it looked pretty cool, and functioned well, but I'd be concerned about all the added moving parts increasing the number of points-of-failure significantly. That would likely require a lot of maintenance & repairs to keep all the joints moving properly.

Re: Interesting suspension idea
Probably wouldn't work because there is no stability within the suspension, as there is with current solid axle and independent suspension systems. What happens when this thing goes airborne?JK Racing wrote:I was thinking this would make a killer RC crawler
Now, something like THIS would work!

Re: Interesting suspension idea
That looks fun as hell, but I didn't see a cupholder for a Busch Light...
Clearly an oversight by the builder.
