I am sure most everyone has seen this by now, but I couldn't find anything via search, and dang, I can't get over how different and cool these low slung rigs are....

mmbackpacker · 05-14-2009, 03:42 PM

They just EEEWWWWZZZZZZ over the rocks like an ADD slug...

I'm pretty sure that multi-colored bug was at Nats.

It had some crazy 5 link suspension on it if I remember correctly.

dezfan · 05-14-2009, 05:35 PM

Looks like a nice bunch of rigs!

I'd like to see a write up on the rigs that were at Nat's w/ the crazy suspension set up.

Tanis · 05-14-2009, 05:36 PM

I remember checking them out at Nats, and the setup looked crazy....but worked very well. I was impressed, and the guys were totally cool to boot

Hope they make it back to this years Nats.

It was at the nats, it had a 6 link. That was the owner of RCworld magazine. Nice guy.

Id like to see some up close pics of those low slung rigs. Interested to see how they set them up.

ROCKEDUP RICKY · 05-14-2009, 07:18 PM

This the only one I could find, his GC is like 1/2". I'll look and see if I can find more.

slowngreen · 05-14-2009, 07:28 PM

so its just really efficient droop i guess?

Looks like this concept was already discussed Active Hobby - Clinger - Kit Conversion

Reflektr · 05-17-2009, 11:36 PM

I just read. Pretty interesting stuff, and good info at that. An active suspension setup could be pretty crazy on a crawler. Full-scale or r/c. When I was designing my tuber, I googled some real rigs to get a few ideas. The Scorpion MK-1 is actually on air bags with a crazy shock placement. I dabble in full-size suspension work, that's why it sparks my interest lol. I have a wishbone 3-link on my truck with 'bags. Wonder how a 3-link would work on an r/c crawler?

joesbruiser · 05-18-2009, 06:16 PM

The coolest part about he rig that was at Nats was how small and FAST the motor was.

CreepyCrawl · 05-18-2009, 07:49 PM

Anyone else impressed with how well the Imex Rubi's hook up in the water?

slotmachine · 05-23-2009, 01:11 PM

Are these longer than say a ax10?
