No way...must be from the same series. I think I figured out how to perfect a drop cone system, so I'll post pics of that if/when I get it to work. |

Blake - That is "Mechanics of Materials" by Popov Classic mechanical engineering text, perfect RTI meter. Next shot will be even madder flex on the thick ass version of Beers and Johnson Statics and Dynamics, Ahh yes, those books bring me back.... By the way, How does the Corvette monster truck function with only driver side springs? I don't know about THAT drop system. I don't think your rig has what it takes. Wait till I rig up a 'Sippi Hole on my desk and show you what my Monster PT Cruiser can do in the mud! kirk |

What the hell kind of toys are those that have "transmissions" and "drive shafts"? Pretty cool! Even better if they were those mini R/C cars |

Here...now you can see the full suspension with maximum allowable flex. This did involve some modification of the truck.... |

Definitely too much time on your hands, as evidenced by the accumulation of dust on the stapler. Nice job, however. |

Wow...even I failed to notice that. By the way...I definately swamped my disco yesterday...mud up to the door moldings. Had to get winched out...took a long time, lot of cussing, and getting really dirty. Good times!!! |
