2.1.6 confusion

[captain.roche]

This is a question to officials in the rules department.
PLEASE DO NOT POST YOUR OPINIONS
Im looking for actual facts pertaining to the rules


So i read this huge tread from the beginning of the year about a force articulation argument. Where it seamed like a lot of questions got answered.
But im still not sure about cantilevered suspensions.
Is it legal in 2.2 to have
1. a cantilevered suspension with a fixed end point....ex
axle-link-cantilever-shock-chassis

2.a cantilevered suspension with a fixed end point....ex
axle-shock-cantilever-link-chassis

3. a cantilevered suspension with a hydraulic or electric end point...ex
axle-link-cantilever-shock-hydraulic ram-chassis

4. a cantilevered suspension with a hydraulic or electric end point...ex
axle-shock-cantilever-link-hydraulic ram-chassis

I guess my real question is has any one defined "FIXED" yet and are cantilevers part of this.

Thank you for your time

The rules committee is work on the 2011 rules at this time, and that entire section is under review. If you have time sensitive project it probably best to PM a Rules Committee member directly.

cool...no hurry here i dont compete i just love to tinker.
But feel it would be nice to abide by the rules in case i ever want to...
Is there a eta on 2011 rule changes....do they come out right at beginning of year or is there a certain date on which it is release?????

The new rules typically come out at the beginning of the year. Generally speaking, cantilever suspension is allowed as it is securely mounted at the pivot. But as Fishy said we are going through the rules now for the new year.

Thanks nickel....I think that will work out fine for me ass the parts i need to execute my idea are like 400 bucks and ive already spent 1500 this year on this stuff...so it weill be nice to have a rule buffer zone for my wallet
