[ARC C63]

in the uslmra dose the axle need to be hart monted 2 the fame or as loned as the fame is 4" from the ground and tires are cented

[Burton for Certain]

Hard mount. Suspension isn't allowed.

[ARC C63]

no Suspension no spings no shocks

[The Tank]

Correct no suspension at all.

[redline]

You could do the same thing with adjustable axle bearing cassettes. Without all the extra gadgetry.

[ARC C63]

so tank can i run it or no
see how it is higthly ajustible but
have no movment when moving
it will no flexing at all

[The Tank]

What organization do you plan to run with? Id check with a tech guy on that one.

adam if i were you id  K I S S .   theres zero reason for that.   tire pressure stagger and wedge via adj cassettes are all youd need.  dont reinvent the wheel man.  id build a solid straight chassis and concern myself with the basics.   like caster camber akermann and wedge.  spend some time dialing in your motor.   double and triple check everything.  casle nut and cotter pin everything.  play with gearing.   the chassis you have could have been lightyears better with minimal free attention paid to it.   ie. a chain tensioner that was straight, something different than a deep cycle diesel truck battery, used nylocks holding your wheels on ect.  K I SS man   and itll eliminate all your dnfsbtw tank we run nelmra.  up here in ct. btw that would be called trailing arms with a panhard bar.if you wanna spend the 100 bucks it costs to have rear axle adjustablility then heres what itll look like.  this is my b/p   get ahold of william at ec.

The actual rule book does not address that scenario very well.
I am with everyone else in that there is no need for all of that, but to answer your question it really could go either way.

You would most likely be told you can run it once, don't bring it back!
If you plan on running that mowchine with the US very often, I would e-mail your diagram to Manny Torres and get his input before I spent the time building it!

Adam i would say no on it, but if you want i can talk to Jim about it.

[GRUBDIGGER]

THATS LIKE A MICRO SPINT SET UP WITOUT THE SHOCKS.

You cant blame him for trying to think outside the box hahaha.  I dont want to start a big argument but how this is any different from Mikes over complicated "A-arm" type front end?  They are both solid after adjustment...

[saltyAMF]

i dont think its different but its unnecessary.  i agree its not an argument but if you want adjustable rear call ec and be done.  trust me the cassettes are trick.   there are so many other things id be worried about.....simpler things

its the small details that will make or break your rig.

[leman]

... but if you want adjustable rear call ec and be done.  trust me the cassettes are trick.   

i agree with you that its probably not the easiest way to do it but im sure it will work just the same and maybe even cost less.  When ever EC is brought up, all that comes to mind is .  You know how cheap i am hahaha

[saltyAMF]

looks like u need to get a better job haha  j/k
