I wonder what they did with the front suspension in this shot :confused:

Imagine going for a nice stroll on the water with your kid and you see this thing flying at you!

That can't be real. There's no visible shadow in the shot, which means the VX would be at least 10 feet off the ground?! And where did it jump from?! And why aren't the wheels spinning? Oh, wait, I see the shadow now.... I thought the VX was more in the foreground (above the deep tracks at the middle of the photo)... which woulda been bonkers!!!

Wonder where I can get that front bumper/skid plate? That is SAWWwweeeeeeeeeeeeet! :thumbup:
I'd also like to see some pics of the suspension mods. They look signifigant. You can see the shock mounts under the hood!

I can't see the pics (darn firewall).

Someone please post the pictures here :(

That's a SCORE type offroad truck, similar to the Geolandar rig. Think Baja competitions. The front suspension appears to have three shocks per wheel, you can see the ends of the remote reservoirs in shrouds on either side of the radiator for cooling airflow.

not sure if you guys notice on the site... but the drive for the vx is a special needs person. All the controls are done by hand.. wow!!! this is THE hottest VX around i think!!!
btw.. the web site is in japanese

I could do without the body damage... Looks like he rolled it during the race.
