    The thin liftarms are to add stiffness. You can see in real life aswell that the ARB often isn't just a straight bar but is bent in different places, to add torsional rigidity without using a thicker bar.

    This thing would be a lot better as a creator expert model.

    What must one do to get hands on one or two of these?
  4. nicjasno
    Exactly why i started the streams. And also to force me to actually finish models instead of just making the suspension and/or chasis and then giving up. :)

    It totally does not work this way :P It does not matter what happens on the hub end. That part may be a one piece mold with the wheel bearing for the purpose of this conversation. The black part that slides is the soft part and that one will bend.

    Here the upper part of the spring is being acted upon by a lever (the pin with ball joint) and the part is very soft, and likes to bend.

    I really don't like the upper spring support with the offset balljoint. It makes the spring bend and basically jams it. There is not other way here ofc, but i still don't like it.

    A better version will be the result and will be shared here with an explanation.

    Well, you want the truth, not lies. The main problem is the sway bar. Its position is not very good. You want it to be as narrow as possible, otherwise the axle will twist so much as to render its function meaningless. Also, as it is now, it's in the way of everything. Ideally you want your links to be vertical and slightly angled inwards.

    Almost at the end of this project. Small details to sort out and i need to order a bunch of parts in the correct colors.

    Can't have a gear on the drive axle beyond the 12 tooth. It would hit the suspension bridge. Nice! I'd like for them to spin the same direction ofc. I will try to use one of your designs. I like it.

    Because of the gar ratio we need to achive. I'd love to, but neither the 9 tooth gear not the 12 tooth gear can drive it. Yes! This is actually pretty damn good.

    I'll give it a try.

    Sadly the lego version will be NOTHING like that. Image Removed

    Steering goes over the diff.

    Very surreal video. :P

    I am glad the small turntables come in 2 pieces, but would like them to be designed in a way, where it is possible (even if some prying tools are required) to be taken apart.

    Double post... :/

    I am probably going to make a turbo version of the targa. To combine the best of both worlds :)
  23. nicjasno
    That problem is with us since the dawn of technic.
  24. nicjasno
    Hey! Everything is included with the instructions (except the parts themselves :P ) I do hope to see some variants, like different colors, superbird builds, etc...

    I don't want parts that are too specialised. Especially not wheel hubs that are too elaborate. If lego would make a mould design to be stuck into the black small turntable bases, like what i do with the LPEpower wheelhubs... that would be grand. But i would love a 8880 style CV joint on an axle. For the more "adult" models that i want to make. As for the shock absorber, i'd love to have one, that would allow us to make (among other uses) macpherson suspensions. Would need a pin/axle connection on top for the pivoting, and and axle and a pinhole on the bottom like the actuators.
