This project was sitting on my table for a while, so after a long weekend, I put together a body and bed, and finished it up.

That's a lovely li'l truck you've designed there. I'm intrigued by the pendular suspension since it seems to be without shock absorbers. Could you post some more pics and provide a few more details? Thanks!

I like the form of this truck....well done!!

My guess you're using some form of a torsion bar for the suspension. The truck is nice, reasonable performance, and I like the front lights.

What, not green?
Awesome as always. Really like your MOCs. Hoarding green technic-parts

Thanks all.

@suffocation @Leonardo da Bricki Don't overthink the suspension. The axles pivot freely, and are simply linked together front to back with liftarms and 6L steering links. See here. I have used this suspension on many trial trucks, and it's still my favorite.

@Markurius yeah, I try to change up my colors, but I have had some fun with green lately. I'll keep hording more green for my next MOC.
