My line of SCT's is pretty impressive, all with Baja style Long Travle Suspension, and all are pretty damn good, then theres this, V4, and its only got one engine 1/4th the power, and being 1/3rd the size of the TB or V2 Performance SCT's, how could it possibly be better or even come close performance wise? Well I do not know, but HOLY CRAP, I literally do not know what I did, and yet this thing is an absolutely incredible work of SUSPENSION ART, its not invencible and not terribly fast with 600hp, (compaired to the others) yet its the most stable, drivable and FUN truck I've made in a while, probably only being beat out in stabality buy the G1 vechiles which are incredibly stable, but this thing just works, its light, agile as all hell and drives like nothing Ive ever built. Its got a swaybar in the front and the rear is magic and works as if it has a swaybar without one some how... and thats just it, I have no clue how that rear suspension does what it does but it does it and its just perfect. The thing is just as stable off road as it is on road and it can take a very hard hit for its size. All in all I think it's probably one of my best efficiency trucks and yet it holds true to its performance SCT name. So I hope you'll like how it handles and ya, only real feature on it is the airbreaks for aircontroll and self righting when you flip it. Enjoy! This is basically suspension tuning at its finest and the results are clear, this is one hell of a good little truck.

@LiamW it is complete, I have uploaded the chassis, named
Rock Bouncer Project
@LiamW ok, I'll have it up tommorow morning if not in the next 30 or so minutes.
@Maximum777 That'd be good. We can decide the next step from there I guess
@LiamW ok want me to do that and upload it?
@Maximum777 OK, so what I'm thinking of doing is this:
Shorten the 4-link setup on this vehicle by 75% and then copy it on to the front as well. Then we can build a body up from there
@LiamW I uploaded a suspension physics demonstration that kinda shows why suspension can be made practically invencible if done right.
@LiamW Yes, I'd be totally up for that, sounds like a great challenge. Also the biggest thing I found is suspension can't break if over compressed, what happens is the parts attached to the ends of the suspension pice hit each other when the suspension pice or block is compressed all the way and that's how the suspension breakers and rotators catch fire etc. I discovered this by expairimenting and finding that you can basically push the suspension infinitely.
@Maximum777 I'm certainly impressed. Want to collab with a rock bouncer? I'm thinking of coming back to building on SImplePlanes with a heavily revised rock bouncer that's much tougher, looks half-decent and can drive a little better. It looks like you've found solutions to all the problems I encountered with suspension in the past
@LiamW And to think that I've auctualy made this better than the version uploaded here though, the next version of this I have doesn't break so eaisaly, and this version all ready takes a lot to break, I'm very happy with it and I'll call your name when the updated version is out.
that is some brilliant suspension
I'm probably going to rebuild the front and upload a different variant of this chassis as SCT V5 but for now here's what I got, she's one hell of a good ride, but the front suspension likes to break the same pice on both sides so going to be working on that.
