I wanted a 1/10 scale prerunner with long travel suspension so I decided to make it myself! Designed in OnShape, printed on an Ender 3. I have a bit more info on my thingiverse page. Any other RC hobbyists on here? https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:6306854
100% understand. I drove an 80s Ranger for a while and same. Thought it was an interesting setup.
Post more as you make progress. I would love to see it!
