Trailer suspension

[Stephen Provoost]

Hello,

I want to make a trailer for a truck to transport my Swingloader (designed bij D3K) or my New Holland excavator (gathering the pieces and must buy the instructions).

I have seen some trailers from "2LegoOrNot2Lego" and I must say they are incredible.

Now I have some questions:

How does the suspension works, I've tried many times but I didn't succeed in making a good one. (example: http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?i=4632413

Does anyone have some pictures or drawings for a detachable gooseneck? (like this trailer: http://www.mocpages.com/moc.php/221783)

Thank you in advance!

Stephen

I think you will find that the scales are not compatible. I have some of Designer Han's trailers which are actually even a slightly larger scale than 2LegoOrNot2Lego's trucks and trailers, and they are still much too small for the swingloader. The swingloader is simply too large. You would need a much larger trailer (~40-50%) in order for it to fit accurately.

It might be something similar to the F1 car suspension. I'm sure you will find the solution and we are all here to help. Keep at it.

Most suspension is jus a pendular with no springs or what so ever. The weight of the chassis pushes them back to 'normal' horizontal. At least that is what i have seen.

I need to look at effemans design.

Thank you for the comments.

I have not much time to build, so that's the reason why it took so long before I tried anything.

Here is a picture of something I've tried.

Thank you

Do you have LDD? You need it to open the .lxf file.
