Well done sir, looks awesome!

Love it! quite a different approach.

We need to market this chassis! whatcha think?

Ok, that is the gnarliest Redcat yet!

Show us video please

Nice work,killer ideas. I want to try a slightlly different version of your axle side shock/link mount,hows that working out for you?

[pelanas]

I don't understand your querstion (my english is not good enough). the suspension works fine for me. what is your idea?


Here are the photos in the right post with new modifications:

I am really scratchin' my head here.... no front suspension/shocks?? Im sure theres a reason for that, I just haven't figured it out yet -
Also, this thing sure looks well set up ! Obviously not your first "rodeo"

It's a torsion chassis...in this case it's only half torsion since it uses shocks in the rear. The chassis itself will flex to allow some articulation in the front. It's an interesting concept. One of my crawling buddies use to run a full torsion venom creeper setup and liked it, but ultimately went back to using shocks.

Zero torsion effect, because its rigidly mounted in front.
No flex like the Tracer

I should've glanced at that a little longer...you're right. Thanks for pointing that out!

I hate to bring stuff back from the dead, but damn is this thing SEXY! I'd love to build something like this but with more steering angle in the front and no rear steer.

[pelanas]

This has been the most exciting build i have ever made.
In comps had no rivals "for the price" and was really fun. Now I have XR10 but this tracer has bring to me the better moments in rock crawling. Now all the XR's are almost the same... thats no funny.

There's a lot of good, old school tips n tricks and build threads buried in the RS10 forum lol.

Hey pelanas what motors did you use and what were there specs, how was wheel speed and torque? Awesome build btw looks like it could have used more steering angle imo. But still a very great build.
