[WIP] RWD sedan

[tomek9210]

I am quite happy with the front axle. I added another crossblock connector to support the 5.5L axle and used 6L thin liftarms to connect lower wishbone to the upper structure. It has also sway bar. It has one hard and one soft shock, but the angle of mounting them and upper links instead of one solid wishbone makes the suspension very soft. Wheel touches the soft axle and whole front of the car is less than one stud above the ground.

The full shot how it looks now:

For now I won't update the LXF. I want to finish this car and move to another one :)

 

UPDATE:

I changed soft front shocks for hard ones. Now the suspension is much better. I tried to implement the torsion bar, but I failed, because bottom wishbone is parallel to the vehicle. Now I will continue the body work starting from the rear doors.

IMHO the door panels are one stud too tall , but the rest looks great. Very interesting suspension you got there
