StudRobotics Posted February 23, 2018 Posted February 23, 2018 Pretty cool chassis! Since it has a V8 and one seat, I'm guessing it might be an American race car. Maybe a Corvette C7.R at best guess? Quote
letsbuild Posted February 23, 2018 Posted February 23, 2018 I agree with @StudRobotics, it looks to be american race car. Quote

StudRobotics Posted February 24, 2018 Posted February 24, 2018 Did some research on banned race cars. Is it the BMW M3 GTR? Quote

Jurss Posted February 24, 2018 Posted February 24, 2018 I like, the idea, recrating real suspension. Quote
Milan Posted February 24, 2018 Posted February 24, 2018 @pagicence Hi, welcome! Nice chassis you got there, hope to see the whole finished! Another note, EB's image max size is 1024. So please try to resize your photos a bit. Thanks and have fun! Quote
skaah Posted February 24, 2018 Posted February 24, 2018 Ha, you made the cilinder heads in the colors of the BMW M logo! Quote
tomek9210 Posted February 24, 2018 Posted February 24, 2018 It looks very nice! Front suspension on strut type in BMWs has two lower arms. What is the gears ratio in steering? M motor is quite fast, it needs some gearing down. Quote

tomek9210 Posted February 24, 2018 Posted February 24, 2018 30 minutes ago, pagicence said: No, it doesn't. Not on E46. There is 1 control arm, 1 steering link to connect wheel carrier to steering rack and 1 link that connects sway bar. M motor is directly connected to the rack. It's the smallest motor that takes up the least amount of space, I tried with servo motor but it was too bulky. And from the rack to the steering wheel ratio is 2:1, so the full lock should be pretty close to the real race cars. Oh, I thought e46 also had two lower arms. My mistake. Quote

tomek9210 Posted February 24, 2018 Posted February 24, 2018 How are you going to make the kidneys grille and lights? What color will the car be? Quote

Didumos69 Posted February 25, 2018 Posted February 25, 2018 The chassis lacks widthwise structure. This way you will have a lot of flex and eventually parts will disconnect. The lack of a widthwise structure is especially apparent between the struts in the front section. Quote

MSc Shobaki Posted March 15, 2018 Posted March 15, 2018 I have built the left hub based off of your images and can tell you now that it’s very weak. You need to stiffen it verticaly for it not to snap apart Quote

You need to stiffen it verticaly for it not to snap apart I don't think that will be enough. It needs to be completely redesigned so that the socket is facing downwards.

It's something I didn't integrate into my chassis early on and it proved to be a problem during the later stages. Had to tear the whole thing apart. Quote
sirslayer Posted March 16, 2018 Posted March 16, 2018 I like the realism of your chassis. If im understanding your chassis correctly its on a uni-body frame and that would be a challenge to build.. I hope it works out in the end!! Quote
ArsMan064 Posted March 16, 2018 Posted March 16, 2018 I think, it will be supercar. Chassis is really impressive Quote
