Who's gonna build a scale one of those?

I thought it looked pretty cool, and functioned well, but I'd be concerned about all the added moving parts increasing the number of points-of-failure significantly. That would likely require a lot of maintenance & repairs to keep all the joints moving properly.

I was thinking this would make a killer RC crawler

you would have to run 4 small motors (one per wheel), it looks like they used hydraulic motors in the full size version.

Probably wouldn't work because there is no stability within the suspension, as there is with current solid axle and independent suspension systems. What happens when this thing goes airborne?

Now, something like THIS would work!

i'm trying to wrap my head around the steering mechanisms that it would use.

That looks fun as hell, but I didn't see a cupholder for a Busch Light... Clearly an oversight by the builder.
