Technyk32231 Posted September 2, 2013 Posted September 2, 2013 I am on the robotics team for my school, and we went on a field trip to a STEM program about Indycars. They gave us free tickets to the Grand Prix of Baltimore, and they were great seats. I decided to make a model of one of the cars after seeing the race, so does anyone have any tips on making a realistic but strong suspension? Quote
legomuppet9 Posted September 2, 2013 Posted September 2, 2013 No clue, but I guess the suspension on the 42000 Grand Prix Racer would be similar? Quote
Junpei Posted September 2, 2013 Posted September 2, 2013 I'm pretty sure the wishbone suspension arm pieces would be perfect. Depending on how large your model is, of course. Quote
Marcel1980 Posted September 2, 2013 Posted September 2, 2013 the 8880 is also good. Strong and with the right kind of tyres. Quote
Junpei Posted September 2, 2013 Posted September 2, 2013 For F1 cars though? I don't think it would be realistic. Quote
Marcel1980 Posted September 2, 2013 Posted September 2, 2013 didnt read it to well... Was reading nascar! haha But the f1 suspension of the 8880-b model works also. Quote
D3K Posted September 2, 2013 Posted September 2, 2013 Lego actually does a pretty good job recreating the suspension used on these types of cars Quote
Technyk32231 Posted September 2, 2013 Author Posted September 2, 2013 Yeah, but I 'm also looking for realistic geometry. This is a good place to start though. Quote
aol000xw Posted September 2, 2013 Posted September 2, 2013 Did you look for nicjasnos' "lpepower episode" on youtube? That may give you some ideas, Quote
