Has anyone seen this setup by matsucars? It incorporates 4 Servo's and a quad servo control box, which adjust the suspension when the vehicle get's angled. Very Cool idea.

Looks pretty cool but only for crawlers ? Could it ever be fast enough to react to racing ? It probably could with the right servos but I'd imagine the weight would make it a disadvantage for racers.

That's cool... it's mercedes' ABC for 10th scale, it helps willy driver not to throw up :lol:

for onroad racing, there's not enough roll/pitch any to justify the system.

For offroad, I don't see how this could be fast/smart enough...

but it certainly is really cool :)

The electronics ,gyro's etc would definitely be fast enough but the servo's might not , I fly heli's as well and the micro size gyro systems these days would easily cope , think about all the drones that virtually fly themselves even in strong winds , the electronics is plenty fast enough it's the mechanicals that might lag .

finding or making strong enough servos that are fast enough would be the hard part. I am shocked (lol) we havent seen magnetorheological shocks in RC yet. I suspect its coming though!

It's neat tech but all I can think, is can it be used to make an RC hop like a lowrider with hydraulics?

The type of Linea servo's on micro heli's are pretty fast ,I'm just not sure they would scale up .
