Very nice model, Well done..
You wouldn't happen to have been involved in Radio Control Cars would you.
Because the way you have done the suspension on your 4x4 is very similar to
a "Clodbuster" RC Monster Truck.

The fact the the suspension isn't fully independent ie. Both front wheels
and both rear wheels are on a solid axle also gives the transmission
strength...

I built this modle and I want to know what you think of it. It has 4 wheel
drive, steering, live axles, a center differential, 2 inches of suspention
travel, is fully motorised and has a 5 forward/1 revearse transmission of • my
own design ( the one in the 8448 was to weak ). I did not include diffs in
the axles because it diminished its off-road performance ( especially when
driving over / demolishing my 8880 super car ). Allthough it is easily
heavey enougth to crush my 8880 it can climb a 60 degree slope in 3rd • gear.
To see the model, go to;

It is called blue falcon. I am looking forward to your feedback

(...) No, I am not really into RC cars. I would like to be but my cash flow is limited. The live axle design for this modle came from real life monster trucks which also have the same mechanism. I hape this helps. (23 years ago, 24-Oct-01, to lugnet.general)
