You're right - interesting concept. I didn't have time to read the thread, only looked at the picture - what do they do for bump clearance? :shock:

Cheers,

Portals seem to be the flavour of the month in the States, is anyone playing with them here in OZ?

That is a very similar design to what Pete Antunac had at TTC 02 :roll: . I believe he has since removed it!

In other words it isn't as flash as what it looks!

wouldn't it be cheaper to replace the IFS with a solid axle?

Thats almost a portaled portal .. I would have thought that he woud attatch the lower parts a bit higher to take full advantage of the drop hub... Still should be reasonably strong and not all that heavy ..
