Default Pacer leafer on the new bridge

Been working on the suspension for some time. Amazing what a small change can make. Also, test driving a new bridge I put in this weekend. Enjoy..

For some reason I didn't think there was that much room on that side of the wooden bridge to make another bridge.

Nice work! Love to come by this Sunday but I'll be in PA

Great video. The Pacer did really well This may have been answered already but where are these Pacer bodies from?

I see you use the barefoot method as well. I say it gives you a better feel for the terrain, wouldn't you agree?

Thanks for the kind words. Been trying hard to make those leaf springs work Bare foot works great at home, except for those stray pine needles

Nice Rig, Vid, and Course.

I was sure it was going to take a tumble a few times, but it moved so perfectly and predictably. Very Cool.

What's the approx wheelbase of that Pacer? I seen the RCC TV Pacer build on the SCX10 which is 11.5" I believe, is yours about 11.5"?

Being a leafer her wheelbase tends to change throughout the suspension cycle. Sitting under her own weight she's 10.5" At full extension 10 3/8 at full compression 11" Basically a High-lift shortened by 1/2 - 5/8 of an inch.
