Leaf Spring Buggy V1
Solid axle Leaf Spring Suspension is unique, its very bouncy because its very stiff and can cary tons of weight. This rather quick build was just to do some more messing about with good old long travel leaf spring, its still rather bouncy but its really fun reguardess to see the leaf's auctualy compressing and holding the axle in place. Also since its long travle I ensured the axles would stay properly in place with some restraining linkages that dont support the axle at all, but keep it from moving forward or backwords, left or right. All in all a fairly random build to prove yet again that leaf spring does work in SP. Oh and the body is fairly random, I had no real plans for it, it just looks kind of interesting so I kept it to make the build look more complete. Enjoy!

Oh btw one of the links works like a sway bar keeping the rear axle fairly level.
