Mechanical Design
Terra Crusher's was built to compete with T-Maxx. Two extra long shock absorbers were installed on each double wishbone suspension to ensure long soft travel. The two speed transmission and reverse worked differently from T-Maxx's. Differential gears in the center worked as a reverse gear and the two speed had a centrifugal gear change. The two channel radio meant that one throttle servo worked to increase or decrease engine RPM, brake, and reverse gear. This complex throttle design proved delicate to set up. The mechanical design itself was sound. Wild Commando and TNX both have same design, and TNX is a race-winning vehicle.

Famous quotes containing the words mechanical and/or design:
“A committee is organic rather than mechanical in its nature: it is not a structure but a plant. It takes root and grows, it flowers, wilts, and dies, scattering the seed from which other committees will bloom in their turn.”
—C. Northcote Parkinson (1909–1993)
“With wonderful art he grinds into paint for his picture all his moods and experiences, so that all his forces may be brought to the encounter. Apparently writing without a particular design or responsibility, setting down his soliloquies from time to time, taking advantage of all his humors, when at length the hour comes to declare himself, he puts down in plain English, without quotation marks, what he, Thomas Carlyle, is ready to defend in the face of the world.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
