How about the ZIG-ZAG for leaf springs

[axelnut1]

I saw this in one of my magazines. It looks like it might be worth trying. What do you guys that run leaf springs thing. I am getting a project shipped to me and it will be my first build with leaf springs so I don't know anything about how they handle. Here is the link.

The bar on the back catchs on rocks. I've seen it catch. Building a buggy spring or Revolvers work better.

i dunno.. just kinda seems like that would unload at the worst possible times...

Its just another gimik for flex on a 1:1 rig. It would be cool to see it built on a small scale crawler. I say go for it.

Like mentioned, that setup is a gimmick at best on 1:1, but RC is not always the same. Many things work with RC that are disasterous on 1:1.

Might be neat, just for the fun of doing something different.

looks like a good idea until you hit reverse.......the rear diff will try to rotate the complete unit against the 1 bar. i see broken driveshafts

Ive installled one before, and actually has very little drawbacks as far as drivability issues..........amazingly enough. but it did hang up on th crossbar at un opertune times
