4 Link Geometry?

[Mo']

im working on a new chassis for a project im building but im unsure on some of the effects the link geometry will cause. does anyone know of a website that has good diagrams and descriptions of how 4 link geometry will impact the suspension movement?

i remember a website that used to have all kinds of monster truck info on it including a page on link geometry. i also had some sweet articles on the history of monster truck axles and whatnot. i cant find any signs of it now nor do i even remember what it was called.

anyone got any leads?

You can try this, but you'll need to scale everything down to RC scales.

That site was http://www.truckworld.com/ but it doesn't seem to have any monster truck information on it any longer. That's too bad because the articles that you're talking about were, by far, the best ones on monster truck design and parts.

extreme 4X4 was saying they have all their "tech how to" show on their web site powerblock.com on of the older shows explained 4 link geometry

That exact article, while not a 4-link calculator is here: http://www.monstertruck.terramail.pl/budujemy.html

Marty is a great guy to speak with, and wait until you see his latest chassis design scheduled to debut for MLMT later this year...

Ah, thank you Cpe Mt! I've been looking for that for a while.
