Epic Technic's Creations

[Epic Technic]

Hello all,

here is my new topic for all of my next creations. I think that making a topic for all of my creations is better than having to keep making another topic ans 'flooding' the front page.

Enough of that and lest get on with Lego. Here is my latest creation. It uses a leaf spring suspension tatra axle suspension, instructions are available for the rear axle.

pictures (only the underside):

video will come soon. :oh:

I can't see how the leafspring reacts, looks hard to me.

But I think you need bigger tires @_@

From the first pictures, I believe he's using Soft Axles as leaf springs. Also, bigger tires have pros/cons always ... a bigger tire would put a higher torque on the motor and may stall it. That is why many MOCs shy away from the Power-Puller tires as those require high torque, beyond what most lego motors can deliver.

Its actually really soft and I had to make it stiffer by adding 5 rubber bands.

13l flex axles from a Bionicle set (they are more rubbery and not really plastic) and yes those balloon tires were the most efficient.

Little hint: the supercharger is from supplied by IHI

I agree :thumbup:

[weavil]

What size tire are you going to use?

[Epic Technic]

I am using the 42000 a Grand Prix Racer wheels. Yes having help Nicjasno would be nice but I have already prototyped it and I am working on the final version. More pics soon.

Any guesses of what I could be building?

What about this:

[cgg199]

I really like that design Zblj however the one pictured looks more like double wishbone rather than macpherson. I'll see what I can come up with.

What about this:

I really appreciate doing this but it is too small of a scale and it isn't McPherson strut suspension; it's SLA. SLA suspension is a special type of double wishbone.

No its not... Its what you asked for... Its not independant... Cant you see the hub is fixed to the spring?

In your ldd file it is McPherson which I am happy that you made. In the pic below the blue is the 'hub' which is connected to the brake discs and to the A or L arms.

The red is the A or L arm which is connected to the 'Hub'. Green is the Steering arm/link. I think there has been a little miss-communication.

I built the classic version:

[Saberwing40k]

I've got a version:

The wheel is not connected, but if built in real life this would work perfectly, because I have tested it. (I don't have pictures of the built version because my camera has no batteries.)

You should put some castor on that to make it even better!

If anyone linked my mini 4x4, the instructions for the rear suspension are now on Rebrickable: http://rebrickable.com/mocs/theepicbuilder/small-tatra-leaf-spring-suspension

For the Audi fans out there, I finally got around to editing my Audi 80 Quattro Rally video.

Here it is:
