hey jpilkinton. i have an idea. i think it will work and if it does than yeah it could be a suggestion for hsp for a next vehicle. ok so on ur rock crawler or some other vehicle try getting some oil filled shocks to put on instead of upper liks on the trucks suspension. i think its a good idea because if they are soft/firm they could definitly give more independance on the wheels. just concept ive been thinkin. if ur gowin up a rock it could bend up and grab more traction or if its a truck if could grab dirt better when it is turning or goin up sumthin

if u can, on ur next model try it, i know u normaly do work on 1/16 but if u could try to build a 1/10 or 1/8 truck with this suspension design. hope this works out and could u pm me or sumthin to give me fee back if it will work
Yeah, if and when I do my next one, I will go with 1/10 parts. I may buy one of those cheap Exceed beginner's buggies and start chopping away at it.
