Realism instead of performance - this is what the MERCURY chassis from Killerbody is all about in its LC70 version. Even at first glance it is clear that the mechanical structure as well as the driving posture with flexible steering radius differs significantly from conventional crawler chassis. The chassis here aims to present driving postures at a gentler speed, rather than driving as quickly as possible on sand and gravel. And it is precisely through such differences that the Mercury is able to effortlessly overcome various obstacles and thus surprise the driver with a completely new driving experience.
If this crawler chassis encounters particularly demanding obstacles, the differential lock is used. This means that the necessary force is distributed evenly across all four wheels and this lock can afterwards be canceled again using the remote control. The front axle uses a 3-linkage suspension with coil springs, while the rear axle on the LC70 model is equipped with a leaf spring and damper cylinder. To accommodate all the electronics, there is enough storage space, especially in the imitation V6 engine and fuel tank. The neccessary battery, on the other hand, is hidden inside the frame itself. This means that the electronics are almost invisible from above, so chassis will always look great, even if no body is being used at all.
