This thing is amazing, it corners and rocks on its suspension just like a full-sized car.

That is pretty cool, but if I had the time and money to do that, I'd spend it on something useful like a rocket bike.

Hols2; <pedant> that's a jet engine :o) </pedant>

The car is a clever bit of technology but what he's replicating he could have made happen for real much easier.

To get that kind of body movement you just need almost no damping - like an American car from the 1970's.

The 'trouble' with modern cars, and modern RC cars, is the Engineers know what it takes to make them handle properly. That removes all that old-school body motion and replaces it with boring yet practical damping and good vehicle dynamics.

That car does look like fun though :o)

if your car rocked and rolled like that you'd be swimming in child puke.

Maybe so, but the bike is a rocketship.
