[Arthur Carvalho]

Hello guys, I'm a new member from Brazil.
Here's a cool modification that I did on my SCX10!!!





The results







I also did something like this on my creeper.






Hope you guys like

Dude... Good job.

That's very slick work there!

Sent from under the sheets

That's some crazy flex!

[Ty@Tekin]

That is cool and really simple, but there comes a point where too much flex gets you in trouble.

In looking at the first two pictures....

guess I don't really get it or am missing something !?

It looks like those mounts would pivot on the bolts
and not stay in their set positions.

What stops those from pivoting ?
I see some sort of set screw...
but not sure of what I'm seeing ?

what am I missing here ?

My english is not so good but i try to explain...
That's a kind of swinging suspension mount.
The little screw is to the arm doesn't get stuck on the top end position.

got it?

It's like a revolver shackle that extends the amount the axle can flex.

Yes! That's it!

It's like running full suspension and getting extra downward droop in your setup. Can you sidehill with that setup? what is there from just rolling off the side of a hill? very creative by the way- I've though of trying something like this

I don't run it yet.
Maybe i have trouble with the weight on top of the body.

A friend from Brazilian forum showed this:

Steel Shooter Shackles Black Edition

Maybe it could be installed directly on the SCX axle.

[Arthur Carvalho]

I run this mod today and you guys are right, they rolls a lot.

I try another way to do it with a small course and find this:


Is really easy to do. I use some SCX kit spares.
This time i will use just on rear axle

Those are only meant for leaf springs, not coilovers,

[Rorro]

Arthur, how does the new suspensión mod works? can you post pictures with the mod installed?

gracias.

I know that.
I was thinking as a adaptation.

It works just like the first one, but mounted directly on axle.

Olá de Portugal, Arthur!

I had the same idea as you(this last one), the other day, laying in my bed.But then I thought:"probably someone has done that already". I think the disadvantage it's some play on the axle. Do you tested yet?

Fala Amigo, tudo bem?

I was working on it and figure that the axle is not a good place to do it. Here's how I made.
