by airbags i mean the suspension how cool would that be to drop it or raise it on command. anyone know anyone sells them small for like a MT any key chain airbags or something like that

you can buy very small air cylinders that you could probably convert to work, you would need air or nitrogen tank, relay valves to be activated with you radio and I would probably have springs in there as well.
Look up ant weight robots and you will find some stuff.
I personally wouldn't but it would be a really cook show piece.

i have never seen any but i did this on a old car i had i used old tamiya non oil shocks i attached a linkage to the top(wait sorry that was the bottom of each shock ) of each shock mounted to micro servo as close to the bottom of each shock i could get so that when the servos moved it would move the chocks up and down using a 6 channel raido and reciver i had indpendet controll over ride height at all 4 corners it was just like a real hooptie im guessing that the effect ur looking for

i was thinking of some like that the cen genesis gave me the idea of dropping it and raising it on command like if it was bagged. the cen genesis overhead shock is connected to the front and rear A arms of the truck like a big sway bar. i can make the compressor out of legos yep legos and legos make some air cylinder to instead of the overhead shocks. but not sure how they would work if i only have a 2 channel radio

It has been done with the lego's, but you wont be able to activate them with your 2 channel controller.

If you search google for ant weight robot parts you will come across some, you could also use linear actuators now that I think of it, its basically an electric hydraulic ram which you would power with batteries
If you only have a 2 channel radio you are not going to be able to control anything, you need at least a 3 channel, I would recommend more.

its alot easier if u can give me a working link. you know where to find them. i dont i have tried and all i find are motors batteries and for some reason inkjet stuff but no actuators or air cylinders. i did get a hit on google but they are discontinued [link=http://www.robotmarketplace.com/marketplace_ant_pneu.html]air cylinders[/link]
