Jeep with 4 link front Leafs in the rear and Center mounted Servo

[Intashu]

Due to the limited space within a 1:24 scale jeep I have had to improve ALOT of the simple things. like servo location, and how the suspension works.

So I grabbed a Losi Mini-T ballend link set, which ironically came with the threads, that worked perfectly for the size.

In this case I have mounted my servo BEHIND the transmission because there isnt space under the hood.

and the original 4 link was a little too wide, so I modified it tighter. I lose flex from stock, but there really isnt the space under this truck for full articulation!

and between these two I have a cable between the servo and the steering. I used a pushbar before but it caused too much bump steer.

If you notice there are no shocks in here, your right, I haven't mounted them yet... One step at a time!

(didn't want to post it there with the flood of images, and resurrect a old thread)

In other news: I recieved a letter and a brusless ESC saying I won the January 2013 RC car action Readers Ride. Looking forward to that!

I like the steering setup.

It's overly complicated and would never work in a comp situation. But I want this jeep and I want the scale. and its the only way to make it work! xD
