The slide activates or deactivates the model's suspension. It was an attempt to simulate the hydraulic system of lowering real vehicles on their suspension for stability.

Please use a web hosting site (like photobucket) to store pictures so you can post them here, using attachments makes it hard to view the pictures when you have to scroll to see them. Seeing comparisons of models is hard to see with attachments too.

Thanks for the explanation Kev and Dan. It would appear that money was no object at this time given this must have taken up a lot of costs in designing and manufacturing.
