Wondering if this is a good idea for this platform. Seems to me that the shocks used (if the same as the N1 buggy) won't be long enough for the Truggies suspension travel needs.

Well truly shocks are usually longer, so it's safe to assume that would design some longer shocks? But it's bad to make assumptions on the platform...

By the way, is this an official announcement?

cantilever suspension systems can typically yield more wheel travel with shorter shock stroke

They do, but this is not a cantilever suspension.

Could try some 0 hole pistons. LOL

But seriously. The shaft speed is gonna make for some interesting piston and oil combinations.

Not as much an assumption as a curiosity and how I picture how the truck would react in certain situations. Of corse I can only wonder for now.

same effect.

No, it's not

But i won't get into that

Yea the front shock bodies are pretty short. Droop must be pretty limited as well but it looks pretty cool.

I am waiting for the day when they do incorporate the cantilever suspension in these vehicles, like what traxxas did with the revo

Who is “they”?

I think he means "They" as in all manufacturers.

I would highly doubt seeing all manufacturers implement it on all vehicles.
To hope that one manufacturer does it for one line of vehicles would have a different level of doubt associated with it, though. If it’s blind hope, that’s cool I guess. If there’s been any sort of indication from a manufacturer that they might move in that direction over the course of the next X amount of time that would be very cool, though.

that a bit of a stretch, this a specific thread about a truggy. So I was referencing truggy when I said these vehicle, not all vehicles.

and they would mean whoever produces truggies, it could be 1 or it could be all, they is a blanket statement.

have a good day.
