Hey can you please explain to me how the horizontal shock absorber works?
I saw it in your other thread as well, and I can't figure it out based on the pictures...



Thanks.

Its all levers and pivots mate, kinda complicated and i never really trusted them but then i am a skeptic through and through.
The top end race cars use inboard shocks that only run 90 degrees to the standard layout rather than the front to rear layout frankkind has used. Could be an interesting build though

Mmmmyeah.....

I can kinda see how it works but a couple more pictures from different angles would really help.
I'm intrigued by this setup......
