      It appears based on a couple of pics I’ve trawled up that the soon to be released iWaver 04s will have independent front suspension!

      Check it out!

      As you can see in the pic this is definately the ‘New’ 04 not the Firelap 04.

      Here’s what we see as the changes:

        [*]Rear Upper suspension arms replaced by ‘shock absorbers’.

        [*]Body mounts changed, with rear mounts still acting as shock mounts
        [*]Rear motor /gearbox pod unchanged.
        [*]Main chassis design appears unchanged
        [*]Front suspension appears to use a double wishbone setup with single ‘shock absorber’ mounted ot the lower arm. The enture front structure mounts the main chassis and appears to be a very slab-sided box frame for strength.
        [*]High mounted steering servo as shown by the wiring supports the independaent suspension design
        [*]Steering servo is a microservo not a custom unit as previously used. Likely to be the same servo fitted to the new 02.
        [*]Heavy duty from ‘bull bar’ to attampt to protect suspension parts from impact
        [/list]

      Hmmm… I realy like that.

      So will one of these things handle a nelly and a Plasma Atomic?

      [EDIT]

      Though it looks like no more using Mini Monster Parts for the Suspension Arms

      Those look hot! I hope they put out alloy with a quickness! I’m really looking forward to that. It looks very nice.

      We can only hope can’t we 🙂

      The new front end looks ‘clunky’ to me but I think it’s for the best overall.
