jorgeopesi Posted March 31, 2013 Posted March 31, 2013 (edited) After my other rare leaf-spring suspensions to develop... (http://www.eurobrick...=74420&hl=kamaz). Now a new ones with more structural capacity, easily adjustable, smaller and work well until now... Now I just need to know what truck build up? . The steering would be like the Sheepo´s Land Rover system. Edited March 31, 2013 by jorgeopesi Quote
efferman Posted March 31, 2013 Posted March 31, 2013 (edited) looks a bit wobbly. i think the axle needs some additional guidance. why not like this? Edited March 31, 2013 by efferman Quote
jorgeopesi Posted March 31, 2013 Author Posted March 31, 2013 Of course requires development, I did today and I put it, is just an idea but can be good. Quote
Eigenbroetler Posted March 31, 2013 Posted March 31, 2013 i think it looks like a great idea, keep on experimenting Quote
jorgeopesi Posted March 31, 2013 Author Posted March 31, 2013 (edited) i think it looks like a great idea, keep on experimenting It's fun to experiment and I'm stuck with 911, I hate doing the bodywork because hasn´t got mechanisms . Edited March 31, 2013 by jorgeopesi Quote
timslegos Posted March 31, 2013 Posted March 31, 2013 Looks small enough, maybe you could try building a small scale truck? tim Quote
legomuppet9 Posted March 31, 2013 Posted March 31, 2013 looks interesting, keep with it It's fun to experiment and I'm stuck with 911, I hate doing the bodywork because hasn´t got mechanisms . I get the same problem... Quote
jorgeopesi Posted March 31, 2013 Author Posted March 31, 2013 I get the same problem... That is we like Technic friend . Maybe Timslegos but I don´t want large projects only small things. Quote
Someonenamedjon Posted March 31, 2013 Posted March 31, 2013 Looks sort of like lpe's, but nice work! Quote
legomuppet9 Posted March 31, 2013 Posted March 31, 2013 That is we like Technic friend . Maybe Timslegos but I don´t want large projects only small things. Good point... Mechanisms&Functions>aesthetics IMHO Quote
jorgeopesi Posted March 31, 2013 Author Posted March 31, 2013 Good point... Mechanisms&Functions>aesthetics IMHO You are right , but I try to improve the aesthetic parts. I keep thinking of these solid leaf-springs and I think they are much better at larger scales where it is easier to put more additional guidances as Efferman said anyway in this little truck I still have them and looks good.

Yeah I'm slowly trying to make my aesthetics better, it'll improve over time.... Quote
nicjasno Posted April 4, 2013 Posted April 4, 2013 Why not use proper leaf springs? Like i use here: https://www.dropbox....u4sy/C6u888pHF5 Quote
Someonenamedjon Posted April 4, 2013 Posted April 4, 2013 I tired yours but it was a bit too hard, but for heavier vehicles it is really good. Quote
jorgeopesi Posted April 5, 2013 Author Posted April 5, 2013 Why not use proper leaf springs? Like i use here: https://www.dropbox....u4sy/C6u888pHF5 Nice idea, I like experimenting with new things as you when you made . Quote
Alasdair Ryan Posted April 5, 2013 Posted April 5, 2013 What about using tecknic axles? The longer the axle the more spring you will have. Quote
jorgeopesi Posted April 5, 2013 Author Posted April 5, 2013 I saw some trial truck with axle and soft axle leaf-springs. Quote
Meatman Posted April 5, 2013 Posted April 5, 2013 (edited) Why not use proper leaf springs? Like i use here: https://www.dropbox....u4sy/C6u888pHF5 That cannot be good for that plate. I think the goal these guys are looking for is a somewhat legal way to replicate the action of a real leaf spring without destroying their parts. Edited April 5, 2013 by Meatman Quote
Someonenamedjon Posted April 5, 2013 Posted April 5, 2013 It Won't actually won't destroy their parts, i tried it, and the parts looked like new still. Bt if you put WAY too much pressure on it it it might break, like the amount of pressure people use to show off their suspension in a video for more than half of it. Quote
jorgeopesi Posted April 5, 2013 Author Posted April 5, 2013 I guess if you put a lot of pressure to a real leaf-spring also be broken . Quote

Bt if you put WAY too much pressure on it it it might break, like the amount of pressure people use to show off their suspension in a video for more than half of it. That's funny, I tried it with a shorter 2 x 12 plate and it still has a slight bend to it. This just does not seem like a very good idea. Much like twisting axles for torsion bars, which is something that I have also seen in the past. Quote
Someonenamedjon Posted April 5, 2013 Posted April 5, 2013 and thats why you shouldn't even attempt leaf springs in lego Quote
Meatman Posted April 5, 2013 Posted April 5, 2013 I guess if you put a lot of pressure to a real leaf-spring also be broken . Leaf springs are made from spring steel which is made to bend and return to it's shape, the plastic plates are molded and not made to bend at all. Quote
