very interesting setup for sure....it may handle alot mor like a conventional rail type 1600 buggy of that era. be intersting to see how it works.
do you think its a bad twilight zone episode for team associated to be re producing a buggy from yesteryear that is capable of beating their latest and greatest production buggy?

I wondered how long it would be before someone else had the idea I did. I had it mocked up a bit further than you do there, I was going to use only the 5 link, then everything else stock AE.

Even if you finish this, I will still build one eventually.

I am especially liking the PRO/JRXT front tower on the AE bulkhead...with an AE sticker on it none the less!!

How close are the AE rear shock tower holes to the JRX bulkhead? I've had both cars for years and never matched them up.

I tried that when I was a kid but I couldn't drill a straight hole in aluminum to save my life! I never ran it. I am of the opinion that the 5 link is one of the best rc rear suspension designs of all time if not the best. Nothing is better on a loose surface.
