That's cool mate, it's looking good.
Just throwing some ideas out there as it may help someone else thinking about doing this.
Or maybe for your next project

Another small update, did some more work on designing the suspension. I have one rear trailing arm started, just have to build a shock absorber, and fabricate the alignment links from the frame to the hub.

RE: 1/4 scale custom sandrail
Did some more tinkering on the rail today, it looks like I'm going back to the knuckle rear suspension design. I didn't like the clearance I get between the knuckle and the ground, so I figure I will just use bigger wheels. the knuckle is really the most reliable design I can ink of. It looks like I will have to revisit the trailing arm suspension on a future project. So here it is!

RE: 1/4 scale custom sandrail
okay finally update time, lots has changed since the last post... I was going to make a diff, but I cam up with a couple of mower differentials, snd a new 90 degree gearbox, so I will probably have to redisgn the whole frame to accomadate the wider diff and engine setup. I finally got me a lathe, its amazing how fast I can whip up partz that were unfathomable before!
