Will you be going with a CMS or keep it on the axle?

Every side of this hobby is the dark side!
Appreciating them for what they are is the key, you just can't try to compare them to the other styles of Off-road rigs.
Really excited for this one.
Not sure at all yet. Might go CMS and stay with a four link since there will be so little suspension travel up front anyway.
Shot the first video of the build last night.
Starting off by cleaning up the chassis welds with my TIG.

WOOPOOW!!
Down travel is key on the front Josh. These real buggies run a whopping 4-5inches of up travel on the front with about a 2 foot droop. Long shocks, small springs, and really thick shock oil is what will make this thing work. Most of the magic happens in the rear with these. They run stiff springs and a good bit of pre-load so when they have to "Back up and bump it" the rear end will jump up ledges and things.
Observe this video of me driving my green goblin. Hardly any up travel in the front and kicking ASS!

As far as steering, you don't need no stinkin steering. Just aim it and hammer down :twisted:

The amount of power out of the brushless motors is great but at the same time I'm not sure how realistic it is to backflip the truck from a standstill. I think a good brushed system will output more realistic driving experiences.
I'll see when we get to that point if that theory is correct or not. I've got brushless systems at the shop, that's definitely not the problem.
Ah i see! Thats a good way to look at it. I've had to resourt to high punch contorl to stop shreading spurs.

I like where you are going with that. If you want really scale you should half foams, these guy run practically no air in the 1:1's :lmao:

Unless you are TC, whos excuse for not airing down is "Sum bitch wont bounce, just cut tires"

What gear ratio will you run in the axles?
Probably stock gears, with brushed power I don't expect to need to do much other than upgrade the lockers.
I'll probably run the stock Axial foams which are SUPER soft. With the stiff tires + a 10lb rig + very little foam support that should equal a tire that will squat decently when it hits a rock but stands up when spinning.
All theory at this point...
