Hi TNLD,

OK, it looks OK... :)

I have used the same suspension arms but made them wider for more stability... Attachment on only one pin came me to weak for my purposes and harder tests...

I wanted to make the same arms as in real BJ Baldwins Trophy Truck... The lower A arm is wide and goes to rear and above it are placed massive shocks (or 2 shocks) so the upper arm goes to front to remain upper place free for shocks... So I made it the same way... I used also bigger shocks in front...

It's only Idea... :)

Here example of real Trophy Truck Front suspension:

haha nicely made. the only problem i have with those suspention parts is thatthey are shorther than the steering arm.

also if i would do it like the real deal, i would have to go bigger on scale i think.

Yes, that's right... I extended them as you can see it on my photo... But as you said, your truck is probably smaller... My is from Nico71 and I modified many parts on it...

i think its around the same size but i didn't like mine so i ditched it

The problem on Nico76's front suspension was small steering angle... the lower part of shock was to near to wheel hub... and the whole attachment of suspension to chassis was to weak and often popped out... So I redesigned the whole front suspension and chassis to meet my requirements...

...and I wanted to make it as in real trophy truck... :)
