I decided I could make my V5 SCT just a bit better, I made it all in all much more beefy, I gave it more of a tune on its suspension, I increased the travel both front and rear by a lot and I gave it twice the power it had before, its all in all a huge improvement from before and is much better suited for desert running with its much more precise handling. The body is just about the same just with a slight face lift, new front lights and new paint for a new more aggressive personality. All in all I think I made an already amazing truck even more fun and enjoyable to drive off road, Enjoy! this one may be small, but it is mighty, 250mph off road is no easy feat.

@Shanethepain1 thanks, that was the goal, soft but strong, sadly however it's not getting nearly as many downloads as it's first iteration, maybe I just didn't get the first screenshot bright enough? All in all hopefully my next build does a bit better.
The suspension is soft yet very strong, and it handles well because of the stabilizing springs, i love it!
@Maximum777 just kidding!!!! HA!!!
@cnorth12 Not off road with only two engines, especially while still handling well.
@Maximum777 250 is an easy feat
Looks awesome
@Maximum777 oh never thought those were a part of front suspension ..very clever..i may try to use sway bar for my next car submission
@An2k so to get the sway bar for the front suspension to for one not be too stiff and allow for a ton of travel, and two, fit in there, I had to use more shocks than I'd usually do for a sway bar, but indeed, the horizontal shocks in front of the rear suspension are part of the front sway bar which I did some crazy stuff to to get it to fit in such a confined space.
@Maximum777 Looks like a proper rockcrawler nice..btw im still studying suspension parts and im wondering what are those horizontal shockspings on the rear suspension for? Are those sways bars?
So I brought this one back because I've learned a thing or two about suspension tuning since the original and I thought I could improve the old design in a lot of ways and BOY was I right, I greatly improved it, this thing was already a beast, and now it can really rip up the ground, I'm very happy with it.
