Question- Scania R500 Air Suspension

[__________________________]

I'm working on building a Scania R500 6-wheeler, like Sariel's, but with additional features. In real life, R500s have air suspension. I'm wondering what the most efficient design for this would be- whether I should use autovalves, just valves, etc.

This guy did it well, but not using Lego:

Any ideas? I know 9398's predecessor used air suspension, but I think something different should be used here.

I want it to be as small as possible, use as few motors as possible, allow fine control to pump more air in or out to adjust ride stiffness or ride height (more stiffness for less body roll while racing, and lower height for racing, greater height for driving once the race is over, ) and not leak air.

Later I will add air brakes, using Sheepo's design on his Mustang:

you could use an air tank and pneumatic cilinders to use them as the air ride.

For the valves you could sift them whit servo's.

you could do something like this

motor-pump-valve-air tank-cilinders

What do you mean? Can you be more specific?

Lucio Switch's Iveco truck has air suspension and he has instructions for it.

Alright, I found this:

So do you stop the autovalve once the cylinder is full of air, or does it have to run continually?

[TheNextLegoDesinger]

no autovalve just let it be controlled by a valve which is contolled by an servo motor up-close-down
