New geometry, for a greater contact patch and more grip. Lowered center of gravity for more stable handling. Suspension rotators swapped for hinges for added durability.

    @aircraftarsenal123 Thank you for all the positive feedback. I encourage you to try my newer Pushrod cars, I believe they are better.

    Man, these are nice! Kudos to you for doing a complex suspension, they are quite difficult to do with the parts doing whatever the heck they feel like half the time. And it’s actually usable too! My pushrods like the IndyCar and RUF don’t really respond as quick as your design, so nice job!

    @Hyattorama Glad you like them. I thought about doing a body but it would need a longer wheelbase to look less square.

    You’ve really got this push rod thing nailed. Are you going to put a body on this or one of the others? Like a truck body? That would be sweet! Although you wouldn’t be able to see as much of the awesome suspension machinery...

    Here's a new build of mine, the hinges don't seem to want to move. Would you mind checking the problem?

    @substygram yeah, I've had to work around that numerous times, since I'm on Android as well. Especially with the shock banks, they like to attach to other things.

    @SlideWhistle never figured out pushrods. And I'm on Android (not pirated) so sometimes when the parts gets so clumped and tightly squeezed together, they merge to each other, thus the system could not work, well for me, at least.

    @substygram Especially for the bumps. It increases overall travel as well
