|  3/4 leaf set-up?
As anyone done a 3/4 leaf spring set-up on the back of an RC? If so Post a pic. I think that would look pretty sick.

So that's what they are called.  I have one of these that my brother gave to me when he went to Japan. One of my leafs in the rear is cracked.....do you know where to get replacements? Thanks Chad P.s. Didn't mean to hijack the thread.  |

How is that a 3/4 eliptical when using a full spring?? It is a leaf spring set up with a buggy leaf.

A full leaf spring is 1/2 eliptical, he added a half of another spring making it 3/4 eliptical. Are you thinking 1/4 eliptical, which is just half of a regular spring? |

You must be thinking 1/4 eliptical. I was thinking about doing a 2.2 retro tuber with 1/4 eliptical springs in the rear.

I'm not sure if I want to sell it right now. Besides, all the electronics are out of it and it needs some work. I would really like to get it up and running again when I have some more time. Thanks for the info guys. Chad | |
