Tomas TECHNIC Posted June 22, 2020 Posted June 22, 2020 (edited) The most special part of this vehicle is the front axle. It has got a tilting mechanism so the car can drive through the turns without falling on a side. The tilting and steering is powered by a single servo motor. The rear wheel is powered by a L motor. The gear ratio can be easily changed. I found the ratio 5:3 as a best option. More photos and building instructions can be found on my website https://tomastechnic.com/.

amorti Posted June 22, 2020 Posted June 22, 2020 (edited) Like it! Might the off-road motorcycle tyres be suitable to give it a bit more clearance? Corresponding extra length of swing arm would make the suspension softer, more off-road suitable. Edited June 22, 2020 by amorti Quote
Mechbuilds Posted June 22, 2020 Posted June 22, 2020 That's pretty amazing. If this tilt mechanism would be larger, could it be made driven? Quote

It could be better with larger wheels and longer arsm but I don't have motorcycle tyres so I made this vehicle small and fast. The most funny to drive with this is when using gear ratio 3:1. 5 hours ago, Bluehose said: Nice feature ! What is the mechanism ? Thank you.

I think the length of the wishbone changes quite a bit, and you'd be relying on the old CV joints (which probably won't give enough angle) sliding up and down on a CV axle. Quote
