037 - Horizontal Monoshock

Building a push-rod suspension isn't easy and I realized it after my attempts to fit it on my Brat: it needs a perfect match of all the angles that, without heavy modifications, it isn't possible.
So, trying to semplify and improve the Brat front suspension, I built this monoshock system. For sure it needs a better finishing for the triangular brackets and a road test!

036 - Subaru Brat Push Rod Front Suspension

After many attempts to build for my Brat a front suspension that works fine, in the last days, I did something that I like and that seems will do a good job: it's soft as I wanted and I hope it will helps the car to handles better. In my opinion modern shocks are too much stiff for this short arms suspensions because it doesn't apply the necessary force, I hope that this solution will work.

035 - It Is The Time To Finish My Brat

In this first days of 2013 I've realized that it's the time to finish my longest term project: the Brat.
I must to complete the suspensions modifications (and try to simplify it), decide which body to use (Brat or Beetle), fitting a sport tuned and a digital servo.
