|  skyjacker's new tlt
Here are a few pics of my new scale crawler this chassis is just a prototype so i could play with the suspension. It took a little bit to get the all droop to work but it handles pritty good right now. i think ill be ready for the final after a few trail runs to prove the design.

I like that 3 link idea with the maxx arm. Very simple. How is it mounted to the axle? A modified steering knuckle?

So you're using only droop for suspension travel? Looks good. With the body on its super clean.

How much ground clearance do you have when it just sits? I only had about 2" when I was using droop, and man, I dropped that setup so fast its not even funny. Everything that was easy before became instantly hard, an the stability wasn't all that much more than with springs... What kind of results are you getting?
