| 1/4 elliptical suspension
Thinking of trying a 1/4 elliptical rear suspension but i was wondering if it still counted as a leaf suspension?

Because the leaves do not locate the axle in a 1/4 elliptical setup I would consider that 4 linked and not leaf. Just my opinion. I'm not sure what the official sorrca ruling is.

Don't have most of the drawbacks of leaf suspension or all of the advantages of a link setup. Sticky situation, may need to ask in the scale rules section to get more clarification. RC4WD Team Driver*Krawl Off-Road |

The only thing you lose is the tunability of a coilover. It is a linked setup as it will have 4 links locating the axle. | |

Ok, I had to look it up to see what this suspension setup looked like. I would say it is definitely a link suspension.
