Default Sticky Stick.

I can not wait to see how it performs in the competition. My stick is just about ready to go. I am glad you finally got some good vids of the TCS maybe those that doubt will awaken to the true potential of this purpose built R/C crawler masterpiece.

One of my favorites is the "wall" under extras. I was out there the day he shot these and I saw that rig do some things that didn't even appear possible!

awesome looking truck.. it will definitely change rock crawling forever..

a question tho.. how in the world does it work w/ only 2 shocks? .. especially mounted on the same sides of the chassis.. it looks like the side without shocks would droop...

here is the post that roktoy put up describing how the suspension works:

It's not easy to picture at first.

Imagine the shocks are both on the right side as you look at the front axle with the rear axle behind it. Pick up the front tire that you see on the right. The front shock would compress, but the rear shock would want to fully extend. Ths front axle rotates with respect to the stick but the rear does not rotate with respect to the stick.

Starting over, pick up the front tire you see on your left and the front shock stays fully extended, the chassis rotates with the front axle and the rear shock compresses.

Similar results with lifting the rear tires as well......make more sense?
