Hi everbody, being a scale model guy I very rarely post here but I feel this is the best sub-forum to get answers to a few questions. Usually I build models approximately the same scales as Creator Expert cars. But now I feel it's time to (slightly) get out of my comfort zone and go a little bigger. I would like to build a car scaled 1:10 (62.4x20 tyres) and possibly motorize it. The weight of the model itself will be around 1.5kg. Some questions came to my mind: 1. I will need some sort of working suspension. One or two springs on each wheel? Soft or hard spring? 2. I found a simple way to implement Ackermann steering geometry without a working suspension. Is there a way to have a working suspension plus Ackermann steering geometry? 3. Which motors and how many would you suggest for motorizing the model? Is it even possible considering the extra weight for motors and batteries? @JIm: If this thread is better suited in the scale model forum please move it there. Any kind of answers and suggestions are highly appreciated. Thanks!
