| Well...
The cats out of the bag now. There a total riot to drive. There much different from any other rig that Pinch and I have built. There using captured springs with no dampening, panrod 3 bar suspension and a ton of other mods that we have gathered from our neighbors across the pod in Germany and CZ. Much more to come! Late |

Those trials trucks are great. I've been following some of the info on a few german sites and was wondering how long it would take before they started to pop up around here. Bruder has some wicked scale bodies...........it's just to bad they're so pricey and hard to find outside of Europe. Nice job PinchFlat! |

Nice! I looked at the bruder body's, but the cheapest I could find was like $50. I didn't think a body was worth that. Anyway, I am very interesting in seeing your setups.

I would like to see a build up of these trucks looks like TLT axels, Bruder body and the chassis? I see coil springs and a box in the center? more details would be nice. But they are cool any way.
