We still have some work on this, hopefully we can ship a set to Brett for inspection next week.

We should be able to ship all pre-orders by early Feb.

Pure ART! Great job RC4wd!

Have you finalized a gear ratio for it yet?

What about leaf mounts as well?

Nice work on both parts! Can't wait to see them in person!

Do you have an assembled weight on these yet?

Those are brilliant! Can we get some detailed measurement shots so we can start building chassis?

agreed, need shock, link and leaf holes. even if its just holes to bolt on TLT stays. http://www.shop.rpphobby.com/product...&productId=584

and get rid of those mushroom head knuckle arms, 1 hole is fine. or line the holes along (parallel) the arm not perpidicular

The reasoning behind the "mushroom arms" was to give the user the ability to chose which hole would bring the tie rod as tight to the backside of the wheel as possible (effected by wheels with different off set) and then grind the rest of the arm off at an angle if desired. One of those ideas that seemed like a good one at the time.

Alright all check this out, this is basically what my original intention was going to be for a link mount. It's kind of similiar to the real 1:1. I don't think it would create much of a hang up on the bottom of axle. Let me know what you guys think, I'll clean it up and send it off to RC4WD if you all think this will be ok.

Perfect for the linked trucks, but I also hope that Hua can make a leaf spring mount (like the one for the T-Rex axle #X-394) to allow to fit those axles under their Bruiser chassis (or the Tamiya original one, of course)


P.S:
Those axles have an awesome looks so, please, don't make a lot of holes!!

I figured something like this would get the job done for leafer builds.
All RC4WD needs to do is make some squared U bolts.

The bracket for the four link will not allow for a double triangulated suspension. Need some mounting holes so we can fab a crossmember for the upper links. I also agree with RobBob countersink those two axle tube screws.
