DLuders Posted March 14, 2011 Posted March 14, 2011 On MOCpages, Sheepo recently presented his SuperCar 2011 Complete Chassis design. It shows great sophistication and attention to detail. As an introduction, here is his teaser video that hints what the SuperCar chassis may ultimately be used for: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3UjO0rBZdt8&feature=player_embedded Sheepo wrote, "I started to design this car just after finishing the , so it have been under construction more than a year and it is still not finished."I am copying a real car again, but this time in a much more accurate way, as the chassis structure and suspension geometry, including steering wheel turnings, that spins lock to lock! "In this first article you can see the chassis along with the two axles. Throughout May {2011] I will publish a second and bigger article with a finished car. "Part 1: Unibody Chassis" "Here you can see the car's unibody chassis, which is the most important and the more complicated part. It has to be very rigid but with minimal size and volume so as it has to leave maximum space to another mechanisms": "In this new car the final volume of mechanics and electrical items is almost double than in the Veyron , especially with the new gearbox and whole drive, witch is more or less 25x19x9 studs single block. Even has enough space for a large interior and other mechanisms, keeping a 74x31 studs final size": His MOCpages article shows (in great detail) how his SuperCar will have: * A McPherson front axle with shock absorbers and proper wheel CAMBER ANGLE. * Ackermann Steering * Proper wheel CASTER ANGLE * Multilink rear axle "Here you can see more [brickshelf] pictures and bigger: http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?f=464126 . "As you have appreciate many of the photos are taken from a CAD design, I have used SR3D. The chassis and axles files is available for download here: http://www.megaupload.com/?d=7JVL0GRG [Warning! Digital file contains nearly 1100 pieces, if you don't have a powerful PC you can't open it properly.]" Which one of the SuperCars shown in his teaser video will he build on this chassis? It may be possible to build your own SuperCar body onto the chassis, for the SuperCar that Sheepo does not select.... Quote
apemax Posted March 14, 2011 Posted March 14, 2011 It looking really good so far. can't wait to see what car he makes. Quote
Meatman Posted March 14, 2011 Posted March 14, 2011 lol. I don't understand why there is this big secretive announcement debut but he has the CAD file for the chassis available. Quote
