this thing has gone through so much so much crap lol taking it apart redoing it and again and again then i just quit working on it for a year or so and now im back working on it determend to get it done this time lol

this was the first chassis i made iusing sprint to drift suspension
and when i got the bigger wheels i found out it wasnt going to work very well


and at the same time i was experementing with robart air system for the suspension with air cylinders

and now im here build a completely new chassis and drive train
using servos for the suspension this time for better suspension
tuning and adjustment as well as have a solid axle in the rear
to make it more scale

This thing is going to be sweet! I like the way you set the rear end up with the servos connected to the shocks. It looks like a good set up.

Did the robarts use valves? Would have had to have been between .025" and .050" to be scale! I had 1/2" line and valves on my 1:1 lowrider and it would hop and was very violent. would love to have seen video of the truck doing its thing on air!

but they were by no means scale lol

Nice.. I seen this a while back and was wondering when you were going to do a build thread. You need to show this bad boy off!

Looking forward to seeing where it goes.

Looks sweet! Im stuck on mine also. Tempted just to make the front static for now and get the rear working. Your rear setup is sweet i just dont know how well it would work for towing a trailer.
