Huh... So fully compressed suspension extends the shocks out rather than in.

Yep, that looks like the way they setup the cantilever system. I am not sure why Tamiya likes this setup...

Tamiya likes overly complicated stuff. TL01 gearboxes, cantilever suspension designs. Some of it seems to work, other stuff like overly complicated gears just adds more stuff to break.

I agree. Tamiya seems to overengineer alot of stuff these days. Still glad to see a dedicated crawler from them though. Ahhh, the good old days of the original Hilux.

I guess I'm just a sap for the old stuff.

The cantilevers are what operate the torsion bar.

JIA,
good to know, thanks for the info.
I was just stating that I prefer the more conventional coil over shock system.
I'll hold off further opinion until I give the stock set up a try.

Yeah, it's a bit hard to judge without having the actual vehicle in hand. Who knows, it might work really good.

I still don't understand exactly how the suspension works... It looks like the springs handle the articulation of the axle around the driveshaft (kinda) while the dampeners handle the (near) vertical movement of the axle. Someone please explain this to me

The shocks are operating reverse of what we think is normal,but the piston is still doing the same job.The design is pulling on the shock when the suspension is compressed.Looks like a droop setup with seperate coils.I want this truck.
