Had the system demonstrated to me at Soneleigh , and it is so clever , the guy who dreamed it up ,must be one hell of a genius engineer

Is this basically a kind of active suspension?

[PAB]

I've had a good look and nearly went for it when building my Dax Rush, although it was brand new then and a bit untried so I went a bit more conventional.
Peter Walker is a very smart guy and from my experience extremely helpful. There is nothing he doesn't know about the Dax products.

NO just very complex and clever geometry , basicly double wishbone , but the top pickup points are interconected side to side and pivot to keep both wheels virtical at all times and all roll angles . you realy have to see it to work it out
