Scale Trophy truck build by bmxreeves

Between the steering geometry and the suspension geometry you may have some sketchy handling out of that front end.

I think if you were to give the suspension more caster, as in kick the top of the spindle towards the rear it would help the suspension. The steering is going to need a bell crank set up to work.

So apparently the "next chassis" would be sooner than i thought.
this time i am completely redesigning the whole chassis for a better look, better steering and front suspension.

let's hope this time i can make something good for once.

You had a really good start that just needed a couple of changes.

thanks.

now that i've got a little experience making the first one, i will use that to make an even better chassis.

i will most likely finish the old one, sell it and do it again.

quick update. got the front end a little built.

the front design on the new chassis is similar, skinny front end where a-arms mount, to make the track width a little shorter.
