Well here it is, not completed yet  but something a little different..THE ARTICULATOR It is runnining 1" wideners. The way the truck is set up now doesn't require dampers at all. The unique suspension system, is designed so the springs remain verticle to give the vehicle stability. It uses drop outs to gain the extra down travel requred.
Chassis made from 1/2" copper pipe, very easy to work with. The chassis is designed to resemble a real 4wd chassis. A custom built tray for the back has been made. Just to give a more realistic look.
            
A-Frames are used for front and rear, which I believe is are far superior set up than the much used 4-link.
As you can see it has no trouble flexing, once I put the wheel wideners on this will allow even more flex.
