What is going on with this rear end!!!

[MonsterAir]

This is one bad a$$ Marder. Anyone ever seen this linkage setup and know what it's called?

 

[RcJunkie13]

I have no clue.... but that is one sick Marder ? ?

 

[MonsterAir]

This woulda came in real handy when I was racing my marder on-road

Maybe some kind of sway bar thing

 

[MonsterAir]

Its some type of suspension limiter. He also has a sway bar rigged. I just never seen it before, must be a euro only part.

Looks like an over engineered and adjustable sway bar to me?

 

[MonsterAir]

Sway bar is the part in front of diff but I'm not sure if it connects to the linkage some how.

 

[DougStar]

Bet its a hornman or elcon rig??

 

[Rep732]

Since its on road can you adjust it for ride height?

 

[MonsterAir]

It looks similar to limiting cables we use for our baja's but looks to limit travel in both directions. Tho the alloy piece rests on a hinge pin so it may pivot a little. Not sure never seen one.

That’s nice never seen that before. Definitely seems like some kind of suspension limiter.

If I remember correctly they were at an angle on Nascar SWT cars ? ( I used to crew on one )

Theres no need for a panhard bar on independent suspension, serves no purpose. What ever it is, its overly complicated for whatever task its performing.

But that's what makes it cool!


I emailed HobbyThek and just waiting for the euro experts to get back to me. I'm certain they will know what and how makes it.
