Nice vids. It looks like you're getting a ton of flex with that suspension setup.

can't complain about the suspension. seems to work pretty well.
wellll maybe a little more flex in the front would be nice.

By the way, if you get slow streaming performance, just download to your computer and then play. The server sits on a t1 line, so its pretty easy to s overwhelm its streaming bandwidth.

Great clips. You killed my hard drive with those clips of hummers.:flipoff2: I enjoy seeing your rig perform because I plan to have a somewhat similar setup in the future. I'd also like to ask you some more questions about your setup. but i'll pm you later. Also you mentioned more flex up front is there any possibility of a 3-link or similar with the toy setup? To me this is what pirate 4x4 is all about. :beer:

So where's your "hummer recovery team" sticker :flipoff2:
Cool vids though:grinpimp:

Yeah, sorry, there is kind of a hummer overload situation on some of the vids. But that's who we were running the trails with, so... They're pretty cool rigs. I still prefer my Rover. The CTIS would be nice to have though.
Edit: as far as a 3 link, or anything else with the toy setup, its no different from a regular rover axle from that perspective--the housing is still rover. you can't use the SG 3 link without mods, however, because it bolts to the third member, and you won't be able to do that with a toy high-pinion diff.
I plan on trying the half radius arm suspension as soon as I can get my hands on a 3" corrected radius arm to cut up. anyone want to donate to the cause?
