Fast Attack Vehicle.. YOU WILL BELIEVE!

Recommended Posts

Im always surprised how well the suspension looks like it works on these considering how basic it is. Runs really nicely.

I recently bought a used WildOne at a super bargain price which was a shelf queen by the prior owner so it had no scratch or any wear.  However, the front dampers were set up pretty stiff (not sure if that is the factory setting) and understeered like crazy, no sense of rotating the rear using throttle.

I didn't like the tall front height either, so decided to dump all the oil out of the front dampers and limited the suspension travel by near 10mm.  Took it out for a drive and now it drives like it should with proper weight distribution to the front.  Nice modulated turns using throttle too.

The front dampers do not need much damping on this chassis so I'd leave the pogo-stick suspension on the front.

 

Check out my Fast Time Attack Vehicle in my signature link if you'd like.

Yeah Pogo sticks up front with my mod of gluing a tamiya rubber O ring under the shock tower works pretty good or adapting the hornet rubber O ring holder that goes under the shock towers works also.

That looks great fun, and it's such a good-looking vehicle.

I've still not built mine after having it for 2 years or so. I really don't want another military vehicle, and was going to do some kind of civillian version. But it just looks so good in military colours. I don't know what to do now. :blink:

I like earlier suspensions too. XR311 is my favorite when it comes to oldies but goodies suspension.
