i fixed the truck and since you said you have the shock i will make the instructable knex baja 1 coming in a few hours

Jul 1, 2009. 6:25 PMkiller carz (author) says:

this particular model has parts that are not offered by knex (shocks) but seeing your intrest i am designing a newer model with only knex parts and household items. my desert rally truck will be coming soon

look at this and learn i highly recommand to make your suspension more solid,it's better in all cases and looks better.in my case,rc motors need strong parts... i want to help so good luck car builders

but his is solid-axle real trucks are solid axle :D killer carz I love the four-link but is there a lot of side-to-side play? how's the articulation?

Jul 1, 2009. 6:30 PMkiller carz (author) says:

when i got the correct wheels it had no side to side play at all but i am creating a new model for legofanatic that will be more functional and much more realistic

May 6, 2009. 6:09 AMdanymw says:

real truck are atleast able to steer

May 6, 2009. 5:30 PMkanamin says:

touche but independent suspension is so... boring and hard to drive without tiny universals

May 8, 2009. 8:58 AMdanymw says:

true,hard to drive,somewhat like old cars,first ones. independent suspension is cool! my opinion,that why i build it now i destroyed most of it,i'm building a nitro rc car replica

Jan 26, 2009. 12:55 PMkiller carz (author) says:

this looks a bit confusing to me lol, but it does look as if it would be strong, mine was built rock crawling and large jumps. my question for you is does that have steering in the picture you showed

Jan 27, 2009. 8:20 AMdanymw says:

well,it's the front of a car.suspension with elastics,toe in/out(angle of wheels,complicated stuff)+ steering.it's pretty strong,and it must be for a remote controlled race car.i will work a lot more on it

Jan 27, 2009. 4:44 PMkiller carz (author) says:

i know what yeah mean if i had some more peices layin around i would build better suspenion astheticly and fuctionaly but like i said ive got a lot of differant projects goin on at the same time but ill finish em' ohios gettin some snow storms

Jan 26, 2009. 12:56 PMkiller carz (author) says:
