Default Project X

This is my lates build. Has a few bugs to be worked out like raising it, and changing the rear link mounting but for the most part it's pretty good.

Cool design! I like the 'X', and it looks like a nice ride.

Thanks guys! I changed the r3ear suspnesion links and mounting today and put a new servo horn on the rear servo. All I need now is a bit more ground clearance and it should crawl great.

Ok looks great but from what I have been told about 4 link designs you might have a problem.

Your triangulation for the lower links is opposite from what it should be. The links at the chassis should be closer together then the links at the axle for the lower links. But your upper links look ok.

Oh your link upper link rods should be parallel to the lower link rods also. It could be just the angle of the picture but when you look at the right of the picture it looks as if the upper link rods angle downward toward the axle while the lower link rods do not angle downward toward the axle as much.

I know all this


I changed the link setup since that picture(only the rear had lower links going inward) and am going to be drilling some more mounting holes so I can adjust them.
