Brushless Snow vehicle suspension question?

It looks fun!! I got stuck all the time, but I was in deep snow.

thats what i have to use to lock it out.
what about using a 4 link system like a crawler instead of a "hinge"?
i was looking a snow machines and they were pretty ridged.

edit: sorry i had not seen the last 2 posts before i posted this.

you simply don't need the articulation or adjustability a 4 link provides on a snow machine. Your hinge would be fine. A 4 link would be cool, but unless you know what you're doing they are complex. I have a basic understanding of them, and know just enough not to mess with them.

lol yeah me too. hmmmmm
thank you guys.
suicideneil: what you said about the middle pivot point sound right.

this is what i get with no RC money (wife took my RC allowance away) and the drive to make something from nothing. you should see the poor slash that gave its life for this project.
