panhard bar


limits side-to-side axle movement.

3 link setup on this truck. Panhard bar is top "3rd" link. If that wasn't there, the axle would move too freely side to side. The bar replaces the two top links in a normal 4 link setup.

It is, when you have 4 links, look closely you'll see there is only 1 upper link, the panhard bar is there because the servo is in the way.

I touched on this in and updated 11/26/08 post in the same post you pulled the picture from.

Yet Another Rock Force Build

It's used in very high end Rock Racer 1:1 builds and is very much responsible for the non-torque roll performance of the chassis. Check out the post, I have a link to a 1:1 build that uses the same link setup.
