Altezza Mini-Z (updated + shock system tutorial)

Ok. here it is.
parts used: steel wire, plastic plate, xmod plastic lock nuts, xmod/mini-z plastic bushings, xmod shocks.
view of all parts used

shock attached with use of the bushing for free movment

hole to mount plate (works with alloy heat sink easy, but other heat sink...

)

and the way it's put together ...

all based on triangular configuration. as wheel is moved up the force is transfered diagonally to the shock absorber.

that is all.

That's sweet ynad. I do have a suggestion that may be useful or may be crap. See betty's little boomerang shock mount:

It seems like a nicely measured and cut piece of PCB material would work better back there than the wire brace thing.

agreed. once i get the time to spare, i'll get on it

this is the prototype, chassis mount will be redone.

thanks for the tip.
