- This is how I converted my Traxxas TRX6 suspension to Cantilever suspension.
Great articulation, without any adverse balancing issues on side-hilling to date.
will keep you posted if I find any issues or make further modifications to the suspension set-up.
Current modifications:
Cantilever suspension mod (3D printed arm)
brass front and rear (middle standard plastic)
upgraded yeah racing steering servo, metal arm
Hobbywing Axe 550 3300kv motor/esc
brass suspension collars
brass wheel hexs
Li k to Tinkercad file

Thanks for posting this video and design. I am printing them out for my TRX6 and am currently fabricating a TRX10x10, where I may use them on both the front axle and the back two.
I did similar with 4shock keys (flipped for more travel and stock location return -have to cut fender a bit to fit) on both rear axles on my custom trx6 g63 with long arm kit on 120mm shocks widened on 12mm hex. Resulting in an unreal 8 1/2 inch travel😅
Very happy with the results.❤
yeah my old Bronco had the wide track hexs, but I removed them, the car wouldnt self-rite. And the wheels would catch, but it did make side hilling easy...every thing is a compromise.
@trx4play784 that is very true.
my rig has issues like you mention+ torque twist, rear tracking and deiveshaft seperation under extreme independent rear axle lift. I use this as a dedicated rock climber so those issues aren't really a concern. Build and set up your rig how you intend to use it right. That 8 1/2 inches of reach is worth it!❤️
8 1/2 inches of reach is certain to impress many!!!😂🤣😅
@trx4play784 I know right, I have pictures to prove it.. -oh wait🙄🤣
Will be intresting how it work outside on the trails. I like you linked only the last axel because of torquetwist if any axel have this setup.
watch the video in the forest, it actually works really well.
WoW!!! Very Cool Mod! THK's for the info share!
hi mate, that looks like something i have a variation of. How do you stop cvd bind when the rearmost axle drops as far as it will go? I added a limit chain to keep it from over extending..... great minds huh?! 👍🍺🇬🇧
I haven't had any issue so far with that...so what happened to yours and when did it happen?
That's amazing. Can you teach me how to make it?
I will post my modified file for the TRX6 on Thingyverse shortly. I will then post a notification on here.
It needs to be strong as there's alot more weight and force on those rear wheels when driving in challenging terrain.
@@trx4play784did you ever post the file bro?
Everyone does it to the rear, but what about the middle?
I did both! And I love it...😊
How is the wheel pushing when there is no opposite force (spring)?
Pretty sure it's called gravity and friction. When the tires spin, they are gripping on the bottom of the tire which is trying to push forwards, not upwards. But in the event where it's trying to climb, it is pressed up and the lever bottoms out, causing the sprint to compress and increasing the force applied to the tires.
It drives incredibly well. The only issue I have really found so far is in really rough terrain where there are lots of holes, sometimes the wheels will 'drop' into these holes where without cantilever they would have been suspended and not got caught up. But once they make contact with something they will usually drive themselves out...
So I personally see the positives far outweighing any negatives....
Give it a try, it's easy and cheap and requires no permanent modifications, and looks absolutely AWESOME...😊
Besides, if your not happy, it only takes 10min to change it back!🤔
ive been looking every where for this print file. I saw it once but now I can find it anywhere

Looks like its causing more drags and wheel rubs to rear fenders.
The modification has been mostly positive, very few instances where it has been a hindrance.
I have also done to my best modified TRX4 Brutus, and again it has been mostly positive. Occasionally depending on type of terrain the wheel may drop into a hole and get caught up, buy usually it just drives itself out up and over, sometimes it may get funny angles but again rarely does this pose a problem.
That's not cantilever, cantilever are mounted horizontal
Technically there would be no such thing as a cantilever in suspension as a cantilever is any horizontal object which is only supported on one end .....and suspension needs to be connected at both ends....
As far as the term cantilever suspension goes, it is any of the components which are fixed horizontally at one end with the other connected to the moving part of the axle linkage....there are many examples,especially in off-road racing where the suspension is vertical or angled and the linkage is horizontally mounted....it all depends on the application. In rc typically the suspension component is the portion which is horizontal to suit Ute's and pick up trucks etc.
I'm NOT interested in debating it...you can take that to the forums and knock yourself out...
If this helps, GREAT...IF NOT....keep looking elsewhere.
Thanks😊
