DLuders Posted December 30, 2012 Posted December 30, 2012 @ MarkusOSX: Your design looks awesome. Quote
MarkusOSX Posted December 30, 2012 Author Posted December 30, 2012 Thx, but i really don´t know if this will works. What do you think ? Especially the angle for the track rods. Greetz Markus Quote
Alasdair Ryan Posted December 30, 2012 Posted December 30, 2012 I think you should incorporate the steering motor somehow.Do you might find that the steering struggles while going off-road? Quote
jantjeuh Posted December 31, 2012 Posted December 31, 2012 Looks pretty cool :) No longer using LAs for steering then? Quote
MarkusOSX Posted December 31, 2012 Author Posted December 31, 2012 No longer using LAs for steering then? No, not for this version. The LAs were great for steering but there´s no place for them with the new suspension. Quote
jantjeuh Posted December 31, 2012 Posted December 31, 2012 Ah, I see. I really like the look of this suspension, I think I'm gonna tear down my 9398 and 8110 in a week or so, and then build it :) Maybe I'll find a way to fit in the LAs somehow. Otherwise, I'll hook up the servo motor from the 9398. Quote
MarkusOSX Posted January 15, 2013 Author Posted January 15, 2013 (edited) Hi there, i´ve meanwhile rebuild the Truck completely new. But i don´t changed to the live axles. I wanted to have the truck with differential drive with differential lock function. I´ve also changed the steering. The linear actuators worked very well but to slow in my opinion. Now I use two servo motors for steering. The differential lock is remote controlled. So here are some new picks of the new design and a little function video. Sorry, no outdoor test-drive http://youtu.be/bsBdi98RkQk Atm i´m working on a new version with live axle, differential drive with lock function on LDD.

AndyCW Posted January 15, 2013 Posted January 15, 2013 Wow. I actually said WOW out loud while watching the video. The turning radius is amazing for such a large vehicle and the locking differentialls are also amazing. All it needs now is a plethora of buggy motors for power. Muhaha!!! My only worry is about the strength of the steering and its ability to overcome obstacles. Quote
MarkusOSX Posted January 15, 2013 Author Posted January 15, 2013 My only worry is about the strength of the steering and its ability to overcome obstacles. You´re right, the steering works good but is maybe to weak. In this case the linear actuators were great (but to slow) Buggy motor would be a cool thing Greetz Markus Quote
