SUPER Max Black Posted November 3, 2022 Author Posted November 3, 2022 (edited) Hi all. It's been a while since I was at Eurobricks and didn't post anything. Let's get down to business: I recently got the idea to make a suspension on leaf springs using only original parts. Instead of springs, two parts 32199 from set 42038 were taken. This made it possible to make a soft suspension with a 2-pin stroke. Pros: Simple construction. Suspension travel in 2 pins. Cons: Maximum axle load - 500g. Weak construction. Wear of springs. So far the cons outweigh the pros. I think I'll fix it over time. Edited November 4, 2022 by SUPER Max Black Quote
Jundis Posted November 3, 2022 Posted November 3, 2022 Nice solution, I really like the axle design. And the "Cons" aren't that bad if you think about an axle for a trailer or a trial truck, where a little play isn't that bad. Only the "wear of springs" worries me a little bit, did you test this or saw a major impact of the weakening spring tension/force? Quote

Yes, I have similar parts that are over 6 years old and have a lot of wear on the ends. By the way, I reduced the axial play by adding a transverse beam. Now you can cross out one minus. Quote
SUPER Max Black Posted May 7, 2023 Author Posted May 7, 2023 Good day. Today I decided to try to create a new version of axles with a portal gearbox. So far, it's not perfect, but I'm thinking how to fix it. I tried to make the axles as compact as possible, but with a large clearance, so I used portal reductors. I also needed a large eversion, so the steering racks had to be abandoned. Because of this, Ackermann steering had to be used. I haven't come up with a frame mount yet (which I don't have yet) and I need to redo the steering. I don't have much experience, so please offer your ideas. Quote
SUPER Max Black Posted May 20, 2023 Author Posted May 20, 2023 (edited) Not hello. (no one answers, so there is no point in greeting anyone) I was thinking again about a suspension for a truck, and came up with an option with independent suspension and portal reductors. Here's what I got: The distance between the wheel mounts is 25 studs. Large clearance and large steering angle. The design is compatible with most wheels with hub mounts. There is a small backlash (no more than 0.5 studs). All this can give greater cross-country ability to the car on which it will be installed. It remains to find a place for the springs and you can go. LXF I look forward to your suggestions for improvement. Edited May 20, 2023 by SUPER Max Black Quote
