Getting big artic is easy, just mirror the distances of the links on the axles up on the chassis; If they're vertically 4 inches apart on the gearbox, do that on the chassis, and if the top one is 1 inch in front on the gearbox, make it 1 inch in front on the chassis.
Keeping it all parallel and evenly spaced cuts down on all sorts of wierd geometry issues, the gearboxes on this one tilt forward as the suspension compresses, because all the mirroring/spacing was thrown out the window on it.
NICE!!! saw this on ebay, could this chassis cary a pay load (small camara and transmitter)??? Would be used in kenya for close up stills and video of the wild life........ with out being eaten!!! could you please send me more info on the proble payload, fixing points ect. could the cam be controled in both 'X'&'Y' plains using the controler supplyed and could a second battery be fitted within the chassis? Excellent video.....Stuning sound track!!!
