An individual wheel suspension system for scale vehicles, and more specifically motorized scale vehicles comprises at least two individual wheel suspension elements on each side of the vehicle. Each individual wheel suspension element utilizes a road wheel axle that is attached to the lower end of a swing arm allowing forces from the ground to be transferred from the road wheel axle to a swing arm bolt or shaft that is also attached to the upper end of the swing arm. The swing arm bolt extends through the frame of the suspension system and then transfers the force into a spring that is fixedly attached to a tension plate that is secured to the frame of the suspension system.
