Full suspension MT
Here's something I've been messing around with for a while now. I was hoping to get electronics for Xmas, but I'm a little strapped right now.....So far this is just a prototype and will probably change as I start adding the 'tronics..... Basically, It's almost entirely made from MT packaging and Xmod spare parts. It's pretty rugged, and cheap to build. The steering and suspension are suprisingly smooth and have stood up to 2 foot "test drops". The pain in the ass part was flipping the front axle so that both turn the same direction and making custom dogbones. I'll keep this updated as I go...Let me know what you think pimps.......

Holy crap that's badass!!!! *drools uncontrollably* My first thought also was "Baby E-maxx" You must install dual motors.
Show it articulated. Then show a tutorial.

I'm going to use the front and rear bumpers to balance it out when jumping, but other than that, I don't really see any turning problems. The weight distribution is very centered, so hopefully she'll handle ok. I origionally thought about making it longer, but then I'd have to use a different rc body, and it wouldn't really be 1/64th. If it turns out to handle shitty, then I'll lengthen it.....As far as electronics go, I'm going Iwaver with kokam 140 pack, and micro servo. I was playing around with an Xmod motor, but it be a wee too big.......payaso wrote:Awesome man... It's like a baby E-Maxx...
Very cool project dude.. Will the fact that it's wider than it is longer mess with the handling?

I've been tryin' to think of a way to use all the extra Xmod parts I have for a while. This definately says it can work.
I have a similar idea I've been trying to work out. I have a chassis cut and some other parts assembled, but I've been stuck on the steering and the ride hieght. Plus the chassis arrange of different internal organs.
I want to do the same type of set up utilizing some Xmod parts to give it 4 wheel suspension, but as a touring car instead.
Sweet work!!
