nice...I like the concept but your cg is crazy high...roll overs way to easy....plus that battery setup is a little weird.
Good engineering...not that practical imo

errrrrrrrr i think the hole point of is set up is so he can drop the GC waaay down, in turn lowering the COG, then if he gets hung up, go up to get his belly off the rocks.....

Pretty cool idea- Can you control front & rear separetly-and/or is it one servo per axel--- Also, what size servo you using for it ?

Yep, he's dragging belly bigtime when it's lowered, and can raise it when he gets hung up. I like how it's independent front to rear, you can raise or lower the end you want to.

Bien hecho Martinciko Espero tu proximo video

Take your tires off your crawler and see how much clearance you have below the chassis I bet yours is closer to his when it's fully raised.
Ya, he's got extra weight in the chassis so he's having to fight more TT, but looks like it works just fine to me.

Thank you very much everyone, and responding to your questions, independent handles the front of the rear.

In high position remains to 85mm from the ground and stays in the down position to 35mm of soil.

Excuse my English because I use translator.

Thanks

Actually, in low position and without wheels the engine is at the height of the axes, and if you put aside held vertically on the amendment of the battery has performed better this way.

For this system I have used the following materials:

4 servos TowerPro 995
1 Combo Novak Rooster Crawler (Bec 6v 5amp)
1 Esc 9 channel 2'4Gh Eurgle

Feuerradder Hello, I know Javi (Skorpion) is the Master of Masters, and I can say that the idea of doing so I gave it him, but his system rises with only 1 servo and has no independent rear forward, but if the system is very similar and really helped me and gave me ideas for my system, I finally decided it was not like yours and install independent front and rear suspensions, that car and not have it, I think he sold , Is called the Panzamovil.

Greetings

Today I got to Axiformer after several weeks stored on the shelf, and I can only say that it is a wonder.

I have seen this idea done by someone else using a "winch." Same idea, its really cool. I can see how it could help with "breakovers" when getting up and down the rocks. Do you notice it changing your "squat" and how the car climbs or, is that just CG

Is the BEC in the Rooster running the rx and all 4 servo's. I'm sure it would never come up but sounds a bit much if you happen to run all 4 at one time. If you are running a external BEC disregard this. It may not matter any ways.

seems like too much work for me. Having a properly set up fully sprung setup would probably be simpler and perform better.

Its a very cool idea, but I can see its flaws. In a competition situation, I really think that you'd spend too much time messin around with the GC and not enough time crawlin.
