hi all
after waiting two weeks it came ad of course all other projects got scapped to one side but after a couple of hours i thought i would read the instuction thats was vauge and the pics were no help but i kinda new that as ive been doing my hommework but i cant seem to find any pics of the active suspention the only pics ive found on the tam club showroom the suspention is stock kinda silly but mines going to live on a shelf so it has to have the extras i have posted some pics of the build so far any help would be great thanks for looking

assembled active-link................

great pic thanks scr8p

Interesting, Tekin used a sort of Watt's Link setup. I've never actually seen a picture of the active link before, thanks Scr8p.

it's pretty neat how it works. but you MUST use the 0 degree arm mounts and losi a-2038 rear hubs to make it work correctly.

what exactly does it do?

from the instuctions...........

"the unique design of the chassis and suspension components maximize performance by increasing the contact patch of the rear tires in all racing situations. the result is better-than-ever traction on any type of surface."

if you've ever had one in your hands and seen how it worked, you'd believe it. you can twist the chassis left to right and neither rear tires stray from parallel. but, it does seem like it would be quite fragile in race conditions. i haven't run mine at all, but i had thoughts of taking it to the 09 v-nats. never got there though..............

Here is an explanatory pic, you can see more pics of it in my "collection" thread here: http://www.rc10talk.com/viewtopic.php?f=35&t=4554&hilit=rc10+crazyness
