May U draw it one the picture ? :-P

I just wonder if, when you load the suspension will the links bind against the shock mount since the are angle up instead of level. Let me know how it works.

But finally the links will be little shorter, so the angle of them will be other. I hope it will work

You don't have permission to access /picture/sraid166/pb8de500a811154f59ae9e44db4297d52/f446e189.jpg on this server.

I can`t load it.

You can see in this pic how they are attached to the chassis here. Top links are slightly higher but parallel with the lower links.
Now they don't have to be perfectly parallel but if they are close the suspension won't bind.

jwrape · 05-01-2005, 03:27 PM

Ok, I would mount the lower links first. you know where they will be mounted, there's no question there. Get it where they are attached to the axle and the chassis and move freely, then hold the upper links with your hand in place and then see if the axle will move freely without binding, then you will be able to tell if it will work or not.

MC-Maxim · 05-01-2005, 03:30 PM

OK. Tommorow i`ll go to shop to buy some stuff to make links connections. When I`ll make something new I`ll post pic here

I`m goimg to sleep now.

Thanx for help Jwrape !

Cool project. It's always great to see all the different ways to make an R/C rig go over rocks.

Keep us up to date.

I think I`ll cut main chasis to make it shorter, cause this vehicle is only 2WD. What do you think ? And what motor should I use for this, how many rpm, and how much torque ?

jwrape · 05-06-2005, 05:33 AM

WOW!, it's come a long way, but you will want to lower it a bit, cause it will be too top heavy, but it looks good so far. How does the suspension articulate? Good?

MC-Maxim · 05-06-2005, 12:41 PM

Suspension wprks good, but I`ll make full aluminium chasis I think

jwrape · 05-06-2005, 12:43 PM

LOL! Now i thought I mentioned that before?

What changed your mind?
