The first upload of the Baja Buggy series. Features high-travel, well tuned progressive suspension. Solid axle in the rear (real, with proper articulation) with independant up front. Please give me any tips or criticisms you can think of for performance and looks. Enjoy!

    I agree totally. I needed the two springs for longer travel and i made it progressive (it gets harder near the end of travel). I agree that its too short.
    There is a reason its called WIP so ill add scaled single springs and make it longer in the next version@Aspire

    @LiamW Nice suspension, i think the springs (2 springs) arent gonna perform well tho, ive made a suspension before with 2 springs in each side of the front and rear (independent front and rear) and i dont think it performs well (for me)
    Also, for looks (and a little bit effect on performance) i think it is better for the rear wheels to be moved a little bit forward.
