That's it, I finally have the direction as I like!
It was not so easy to find the assembly that suited (to my desires)
That's right, direct and solid.

Looks good.

What thickness is the arm? Are you concerned with breakage?

Up

Looks like you changed the steering arms........and beefed them up.

It also looks like the front shocks are wider at the chassis than at the axles.

Yes it is .

Yes it is but Minimal difference that does not block the dampers. It S just because I din t have perfect spacers

Cool idea on the steering arms. Problem I see it that your going to lose ALOT of leverage with that set up. With the long arm on the opposite side if the servo hookup arm it'll make the servo feel way weaker. If the lever is twice as long as the side the servo is pulling/pushing on you will only have half the power to the tie rod. And in a fall the impact will be twice as much on the servo gears.

Optimally the arms on the knuckles need to have the same distance from the king pin to the tie rod as the servo arms distance from pivot to drag link. Then you will have as much torque as the servo makes at the knuckle. And easier on servo.

Not knocking your idea. Its ingenious, but I don't think you will be happy with it in the long run.

Thank you for your comment you're right! It was pretty but a mistake.
I came back to simpler.
The bar before the bridges.
I learn a little more every day.

Glad to help man. I too spent alot of time trying to make A behind the axle setup. I've got a bunch of oddly bent links on the scrap pile to show for it too. Lol I found that the best way is the simplest way. Make the tie rod as straight as you can with getting full steering throw and put it out front. Simple, strong, and easily replaced at a comp. They don't hang up all that much anyway.

Thank you, I am alone in my mountains Pyrenees.
To try to advance my shafty.
I am still in contact with a shaft manufacturer should make me double joint shafts.
I hope to have the first prototypes before the summer.

The ultra compact driveshaft " Real Constant Velocity "

Those shafts looks cool. Looks like to use em you might need custom knuckles and c-hubs though. I'll be watching for those.

Not the rule is simple.
If it can work in a couple VPS03205 / vps07011 with no changes will be produced in small series. If not possible nothing will exist. The idea is to sell

[Beest]

I'd like to see it work.
