I've seen vids of a few different versons of these suspensions and while it looks cool, I'd say you're probably better off with a well tuned 4-link/shock setup.

Reminds me of the japanese belly draggers and the clinger. I was excited at first but the more I think about it the more problems I see that setup causing. More stuff to go wrong. Im gonna agree with Nate08 on a dialed 4link shock setup. For the sake of something different, try it out. Let us know the results.

Well if you're going to try it cool, let us know how it works. For the cantilevers you might look at revo parts, between traxxas and integy you can get 2 or 3 different travel rates. |

Does it remind any of you 1:1 guys of revolver shackles or 3/4 elliptal? Seems like there would be a problem with uncontrolled unloading of the suspension.

Interesting idea none the less. I'd have to agree and just go with a sprung 4 link to minimize malfunctions | |
