It's working pretty good ,I've been trying some different stuff latly. But as far as the lower links go , they are working great ,I like them alot.

OK, thanks for the quick reply. I am just getting tired/bored with this havok chassis. I quickly found my driving style isn't right for a torsion so I've tried probably 6 sprung setups on it. Just always looking for something better. Thank Ricky

Well i have always heard that with age you loose your driving ability. Maybe look into hiring out the driving.







Just trying to cover your options Rick. You know i am always looking out fo you.

I can tell , I think I need glasses so I can see the lines better.

Aw crap..... Is that all I needed was my glasses? Well that prolly wouldn't have helped me either.

The biggest problem I had with the bully was it's steering. I've been working on this for a while now.
This is my 5th and final prototype, Here's a couple of pics. I made most of it with derlin. It will be aluminum when it's done. It's going to the machinest now .
I'm going to make a kit available.

How are you liking the Sedonas so far? I haven't hardly had a chance to drive mine enough to form an opinion...

At 1st I didn't like the way they side hilled, But I fixed that with a foam adjustment. the more I drive them the more I like them.

How so? What foams are you using?

[ROCKEDUP RICKY]

Nova 2 stage foams. With the rovers ,I slice a 3/8 slice off the inter foam on my front tires only. With the sedonas I cut a fat 1/8 off.

Thats why I asked...I haven't messed with my Nova foams yet, just stuffed them in and went driving. I had the thought that I'd need to narrow them a tad. So with the Sedonas you cut them front and back or just the front like you do with the Rovers?

[ROCKEDUP RICKY]

I only cut the front and just the stiff inside foam. I don't cut the white soft foam.

[ROCKEDUP RICKY]

I'm going to test out my steering this weekend at Disney Double Down weekend. We'll see how the Derlin does.
Here's some more pics, I made a servo mount,shock mount and link mount all in 1, the other side of the servo mounts to the bottom of the new link mount I made.




Before and after shots.

[duuuuuuuude]

Thats some mighty fine engineering.


btw: cut my foams as you suggested and there was a noticable change. Thank you sir.
