needs servos to lift it and lower it, then you can just make a steel drag bar on the back like a real truck would have

Not much for updates. Been working on it when i have time. I got the steering figured out.
Now im trying to figure out a good way to work the front airride.
Any ideas?

Yeah thats what im runnin into. I made a link that pushes down on both arms at the same time but it binds to much that the servo sits and hums. I used a 225mg it would probably work better with a bigger servo.
Yeah post up your rear setup. I have an idea but yours may be better

Just one servo. I could do two theres plenty of room.

That setup is sweet! i wanted to use that shock idea on the front but theres no good way to mount it to the front arms with having the steering out front.

What do you got on the frontend?

The front suspension is from my cup racer. i had made a simple bar that tied both control arms together to pull down at the same time just didnt get it to work well.

Ive decided to stretch the stock cup racer chassis for now to get this thing rolling so i dont lose interest. Nothing like a dually with independent rear suspension!

Heres a couple of pics i snapped before my camera died.

Well heres how the rig sits now. Im going to run it this way till i get the rest of the suspension figured out on the scx frame.

Enjoy!
