    Do the shock absorbers tend to bend? Also, what is that black piece that hold on the front shock absorbers and links?
  2. Technyk32231
    Yes, and I was wrong. I thought they looked like these: http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?i=5828870BTW, nice job on the steering. :) Can the u-joints handle the torque? If not, you should either use portal hubs or planetary gears.

    You're right. The pistons won't even move this way, since the studs block the crankshaft.

    Thank you. I used it in a realistic gearbox with only two shafts. It was really long though. I'll put up pictures when I get to a computer.(most of my posts were from my phone)

    Many things, but before I joined any websites.I can't put any more pictures until I move up a rank, so that will be a little while. Sorry about that.

    I am making a thread with all of my MOCs and WIPs. These will even sometimes be failed or abandoned projects, or just ideas. You may also post suggestions, and feel free to criticize, but please give at least a tiny bit of credit if you copy one of my ideas. They are free to use, I just don't like people claiming them as their own, unless they came up with it independently or before me without me knowing.

    Kind of looks like a toyota land cruiser.

    Can you take a picture of the front wheel hubs? They look awfully familiar...
  9. Technyk32231
    Believe it or not, the bottom photo actually IS the model. Look closely.

    I don't have any cv joints, but I made my own hubs that have the same mounting points and use universal joints instead of cv joints. The hubs are really useful.
  11. Technyk32231
    That is cool...
  12. Technyk32231
    Nice model. How do you know exactly how many parts are in it?
  13. Technyk32231
    I know, but I like a challenge.
  14. Technyk32231
    They don't seem to be.. Yes, I know that Lego can take some abuse, but the suspension will work much better with two degrees of freedom, and with only one degree of freedom, it puts more strain on the suspension when it tries to articulate, and when going over obstacles, it won't always even function properly.
  15. Technyk32231
    You're right, the 9l links will move less from side to side, since the radius of the arc that they travel in is larger.
  16. Technyk32231
    Even so, with only one degree of freedom, it puts strain on pins, and eventually will affect the shock absorber. Besides, with multiple degrees of freedom, the suspension works better and more smoothly anyway.

    But it's an off road vehicle powered by an XL motor..
  18. Technyk32231
    Yeah, but I 'm also looking for realistic geometry. This is a good place to start though.

    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?

    I don't have the lipo battery, but I'm sure I can find some way to fit a regular PF battery in there. I really have way too many of them, I think I have seven.
  21. Technyk32231
    That is really cool, and it still follows the basic idea of a car on a crawler chassis.
  22. Technyk32231
    Nice method to locate the rear axle!
  23. Technyk32231
    Ok, you're probably right. I'll keep experimenting.
  24. Technyk32231
    I would, but I'm trying to get the setup as simple as possibe while still having good geometry.
  25. Technyk32231
    I'm using the motorcycle head tubes as steering knuckes to get kingpin inclination. Des anybdy know a way to get wheel hubs to be vertical using these? I'm using it in a solid ale, so I don't want any camber.
