Default REAL CARS!!!!!

Does anyone know of a 4wd independent suspension truck? Not a fan of the solid axle stuff at all.

not an h1, way out of my price range, and h2's, h3's are solid axle rear. I'm thinkin about fabbing my own susp. arms, getting some four foot long shocks, and lengthening the axles. I will hopefully end up with something like a 1/8 buggy with a truck body. And i just sent you a pm like 30 secs ago.

Toyota and mitsubushi are independent suspension if I remember rightly. But if you are going to jack the suspension, a solid axle is better and easier to do I would of though.... Maybe a Suzuki SJ410??

NO!!!!! it's like a crawler and a buggy, which is better at the track? and a buggy can be jacked almost as high as a crawler. i want independent susp. so i can make the tires go outside of the body to make it sit low, and still have massive ground clearance.

confused now, are we talking real or rc cars here......

Either way, if you use independent suspenion, the diff will need to be dropped the same drop as the wheels, otherwise you will get driveshaft issue's, thats why a solid axle is better.
