RC Tank Warfare community hobby forum

I am embarking on a 1/8 Mitsubishi Type 10 build and want to replicate the Hydroalastic suspension on the real deal. Its similar to that on the Swedish STRV 103.

I have seen videos of it done and know some make RC low riders with hydraulics, but i have no idea where to start with it at the moment.

Ideally i want to build it myself (the system) but I am 70/30 split between using Servos against Hydraulics. My tank may be big but its not going to be all steel. Most likely Plastic, wood, Composite and Aluminium. Moderate servos will tip the nose, bum in the air and left to right easily enough.

i just wondered if ANYONE had done similar before or knows of a resource so i can make a better stab at doing this (i.e more/better knowledge).

Cheers chaps.

Merry Christmas to you all.

Looks like there's kits out there to give some ideas. No idea folks were doing this. Might need to recreate Pedro Sanchez's cousins' ride in "Napoleon Dynamite"!

Just make sure there are no components from Citroen. You’ll spend the rest of your life, chasing leaks.

In smaller models servos are used.


In biggers scale air pump is used:
