Interesting design. Would not be too terribly difficult to fab up.
 
Looks like its just a triangulated 4 link but instead of using big canoe like lower links with the coil overs mounted in the middle they made a rocker arm assembly to lay the shocks down, the rocker assembly can probably double as an anti sway bar setup if linked with a torsion bar.
 
if your a master fabricator you could do something like this. but you wont be seeing this anytime soon..

So NO

That's what I was thinking too. If the rockers were attached solid to the bar, you could use a 2mm spring rod for the bar and have a built in sway bar. This would be a fun project for a trophy truck, desert buggy or something similar.

yeah I'm seeing this from responses, light years from this personally,

Plastruct Plastic Weld w/applicator 2oz Bottle https://a.co/d/0PyxNWf

Plus some link bars for the triangulated top links, or a single one for a 3-link setup. I would probably go 4 myself just for the added durability. Some short links for the connection from the rockers to the axles, shocks, a bit of hardware and you're set.

lol that might as well be in german for me, i undderstand like 4 words and only half the numbers. fabrication is not for me lololol
( to be fair i have Dyscalculia and like to think its the reason i can't remember numbers and such lol)
 
and people are Super TIG welders . this as I said will never happen.. axel tubes will need to be shortened then all this other work then those 3" power tubes under the bed..LOL

Don't think I've ever had the need to tig weld on an RC car. And 3" tubes might be a bit big for this application.

What in the wild world of sports are you talking about? You do realize he's asking about this being doable for an RC car right? It's not rocket science. It's simple fab work with readily available parts. You might not be able to accomplish it. But I look at this as being something fairly simple to achieve. I mean this trailer chassis took me just two days from design to final assembly. And in 1/24 scale, this is far more difficult to build than the above setup would be on a 1/10 scale truck.

I spent 50 years in the Welding business. from smaw.mig.tig.short arc pulse arc. I can do it all in joining metal together
I was instructed by the Best or the best from NRC certified welders to shipbuilders and not the Titanic that was hot riveted

Proud of ya. But that has absolutely nothing to do with this conversation.
