Smoken rig! I might have to take mine out this week when the snow lets up and test my new MSD beadlocks.

It's mine...all mine...muahahaha! Once I get this thing dialed it may be hard to beat. There is a line on our artificial course that this rig made the first time I tried it. No other rig has made this line. Not to mention that most of the traction is worn off the display in that area from other rigs attampting it. I am extremely impressed with it's ability. You will likely see 2 versions of this chassis available through RCP. The one pictured above, as well as one with the standard triangulated 4-link like the front. |

 Chassis looks killer. I'm looking foward to competing against it. Did you notice a big difference in handling with the 3-link rear? | |

For sure. The 3-link is what makes this thing stick to rocks. I found it to be extremely predictable because of the rear setup. We'll do more testing and then get them out to the masses ASAP! P.S. Your wheels shipped out earlier today! |

I started testing my chassis last week with the Standard rear suspension like the front and I am very happy with the way it acts. Seems to be very stable and with the upper link adjustment makes testing different link angle very easy. Here are a few more spy pics.

| Bastard - Sweeet rig. I like how you matched up your panels to the real Bastard. I have been running a panhard on the rear of TINY for a little bit and it seems to be a different beast than other linked setups I have run. I am not sure if it is the suspension or just the fact that it is a total different setup than I am used to running. I don't run coils on my shocks. I only have oil in them and I get no torque twist. Once again, it may or may not be the suspension by itself, but it definitely cruises differently than any other rig I have driven. At the last competition, I took a line that wanted to load up other rigs and flip them over where TINY just skidded past the spot without funky unloading. Here is a snap of the setup during prototype testing so you can see the link locations. 3 front to back controlling links, 2 of them control axle roll. The fourth link is the panhard mounted high up off the axle giving what I believe is a really high roll center.:  -Sam |

The panard set up is allot different It took me a while to get used to driving it. It works really well but does act different then traditional set ups in some situations. I set this one up traditional just to test it and make sure it works well before the production chassis is done. Once I get this tested I will be changing it back to the panard set up so it looks more like the 1:1. |
