There HAS to be some updates here!!!

Jason

Please please please let there be updates!

Truly bad f-n ass, to the point where i started searching for a bug. haha

Do the Rotary plans include the suspension components design?

Wow!
 

That is MOST AWSOME!

Thank you for Sharing it with us!
:notworthy:

Very cool progress Hugo!!!! :D

Awesome Hugo, glad to hear your still in the works!!!

Jason

that's a Sweet Rear coil set up... :goodjob:


Chris

Very impressive build! BTW how do you control roll? I see no facility for anti-roll bars

Clive

That's the next step.

Adjustable sway bars.
But I don't calculate the bar rating yet.

With the general sophistication of your suspension don't confine yourself to the standard bent bar with holes in the end. This cries out for a hollow bar and blade adjustment at the front and a very short roll bar activated by the rockers at the rear.

Whats the rates for the rear suspension units?

Clive

Right now have 400 lbs in front 600 lbs rear but I need to ride my car to know if this are the correct rates. ( remember the principal purpose of the car is road race no street).

I want to install a bar with adjustable arms like this:

The springrates will of course be determined by the wheel rate, weight and the desired frequency. The prinicple being to keep the springing soft and the damping firm (Chapman principle).

I had a look at the Nascar units but I would have thought that with a development car that the blade type anti-roll bar would give a greater range of adjustment. The Nascar units might be far to stiff for a lightweight bug especially as they are very heavy and circulate on banked ovals at 200+mph. The roll force must be particularly high.
