A suspension system for radio-controlled vehicles improves stability and traction. The suspension system includes a chassis, a motor pod plate, a shock absorption system, an upper pitch suspension link, a lower pitch suspension link, a left yaw suspension link, and a right yaw suspension link. The shock absorption system is used to reduce vibrations caused by impacts onto a radio-controlled vehicle. The upper pitch suspension link and the lower pitch suspension link allow the motor pod plate to pivot back and forth about a pitch axis of the chassis in order to increase stability and traction. The left yaw suspension link and the right yaw suspension link allow the motor pod plate to pivot back and forth about a yaw axis of the chassis in order to further increase stability and traction.
