Default Rear suspension help.

Could anyone direct me to a post i seen on here a while ago ?
It was for a truck with a cantilever type rear suspension setup which was made out of aluminum and gave much more articulation than the standard Tamiya twin drive setup. There was also a video posted on Youtube showing its operation.
Sorry this is a bit vague, but somebody else might have a better memory than i have.
Thanks, Noel.

There are a couple different options out there today, but I think this one might be the one you are looking for.

There is also this one, by the same company.

Thanks for replying but thats not it. The one i seen wasn't a scale copy of any real suspension setup, it was more like something you might find on an offroad truck.

Almost, it was very similar to that but if i can remember correctly it used half a leaf spring. The video showed the truck moving across a floor from left to right traveling over books or ply wood that formed steps.
Thanks for all your help so far.
Noel.
