Maybe this is what ElChupacabra means. Now that I've noticed it, it sure seems "wierd and offset" to me as well. I was too busy wondering why that zip-tie fed into the chassis through that slot:  Did somebody not follow the instructions or something?? Who else thinks both the rod ends should be inside those mounts with some different spacers? Maybe that's how they are dealing with torque-twist? Last edited by Big Mike; 10-12-2007 at 12:22 PM. |

Well not if the pumpkin is offset. They have to go to the center of the axle not on top of the diff. That's my guess anyway??

What is wrong with having the pumpkin off set? pros/cons? The Twin Force also had an offset pumpkin. |

This rig may have been fabricated specifically to generate interest at this show. It may have never even been powered up and driven. It's still very interesting... | |

Maybe its not offset at all, maybe the links are like that to fight torque twist?

Actually now I'm thinking JRH is right - the pumpkin is roughly centered on the drag link in the pic, but the rear wheels are at full lock to the left. And that would place the upper links in the right position. This is more than likely not a final production version either. We need more pictures of this rig. We've got us an optical illusion here...

Did anyone even read what Rockpiledriver wrote? I'm not sure how a two-speed would work but it sounds like a cool idea.

I realize it is very difficult to understand this project just from a few pictures of a prototype rig from a hobby show. It is only a "prototype." It is also very difficult for me and others associated with RCP Crawlers to not be able to join in this thread with all the unanswered questions and unclear discussions for which we DO have answers for. I am awaiting for approval from Kyosho, to disclose details about this project and other projects in the works. We have been involved in it for over 1 1/2 years now and should be able to fill you in shortly. I can tell you there are greater Kyosho projects in the works. We have already tested some of them.

most things have sneak peaks, long before there released. take the Camaro concept for example, pics, specs, even the car on display have been out for 2 years now, and its got another year until its released. yet no one could say a peep or show a spy shot of a toy truck.:-( i just dont see how this benifets anyone.:-( | |

nearly two years later? and to answer your question, GM, RC4wd, i can go on if you like? many of which specs and sneak peaks release as early as the sketching/design phase.
