Heres a few progress pics of the front suspension, still need to mount the front shocks and sway bar and rack & pinion.
ive designed a direct drive rack & pinion steering system for the cars ...and that will be my next project ,it will be driven with one large quarter scale servo instead of the curent two servo with the linkage system
