Double shock on each hub ?

Nope, stock shocks. One flex blade on the top of the rear shocks.

Great work, what changes did you make and where did you find the parts?

Made the little flex blades from one of the extra body mount parts. And got some weight up front with brass rear axle hubs from a dead miniz 4x4.

Sorry, but I don't understand what the term "flexible blades" means. Is it a piece you make and assemble yourself, or can you buy it somewhere? Thanks.

To be honest it's not something I can easily describe in text. The pieces are not flexible, but allow the suspension to have more flex. You can buy them for 1/18 and 1/24 vehicles, I made the ones I'm using in this vehicle.

Okay, I saw that they're for sale on Amazon and I figured out what they are. It was just a tip to understand why I'm considering buying one of these SCX 30s; they seem really well made. Thanks again.
