Rear suspension help.
 
Could anyone direct me to a post i seen on here a while ago ?
It was for a truck with a cantilever type rear suspension setup which was made out of aluminum and gave much more articulation than the standard Tamiya twin drive setup. There was also a video posted on Youtube showing its operation.
Sorry this is a bit vague, but somebody else might have a better memory than i have. :thinking:
Thanks, Noel.

There are a couple different options out there today, but I think this one might be the one you are looking for.

There is also this one, by the same company.

Thanks for replying but thats not it. The one i seen wasn't a scale copy of any real suspension setup, it was more like something you might find on an offroad truck.

Cantilevered with coil over shocks?

Almost, it was very similar to that but if i can remember correctly it used half a leaf spring. The video showed the truck moving across a floor from left to right traveling over books or ply wood that formed steps.
Thanks for all your help so far.
Noel.
