Picture 2

And what u think about "X" distance ?? Itn`t it to big ? If it is good it`s better for me, cause there are good points to connect.

When I was stationed in Korea I had one of those Hummers.

I think the farting Gorilla decal was the funniest decal I've seen for a RC.

Yea ... I think they don`t like me and my monster

MC-Maxim · 05-01-2005, 02:23 PM

Hmm ... I don`t understand one thing. The links from center chasis to front and back are moving up and down (it`s normall), but it also moves left and right ! Is it correct ? I think that vehicle will not be stable cause all yelow squares I pointed will move left and right

Am I right ?

ps. I hope someone understand me

jwrape · 05-01-2005, 02:26 PM

Yes, you are right. That is why MOST peoepl do a 4 link trailing suspension so the upper links can be triangulated inward to hold the axle straight.
Like this.

MC-Maxim · 05-01-2005, 02:31 PM

I don`t see much in this pic

May you post other one ?

Thanx !

jwrape · 05-01-2005, 02:34 PM

Here is a side view of that same pic. See how there is two links that come straight back and two that come in towardst eh center? Since those are triangulated towardst eh center they help to center the axle and keep it there but still allow it to move freely up and down.

MC-Maxim · 05-01-2005, 02:39 PM

Ohh ... now I understand

But there is hard to mount something like this at my Hummer. I saw that other peoples just mount 4 links normally. I think that it could move left and right

Here is example :

Example

jwrape · 05-01-2005, 02:42 PM

The top links in your example are triangulated as well. they are mounted to the center of the axle and go out to the chassis.

MC-Maxim · 05-01-2005, 02:48 PM

U R right

I must find places where I`ll mount them :-P

jwrape · 05-01-2005, 02:50 PM

It might be a challenge.

MC-Maxim · 05-01-2005, 03:05 PM

Yes it is

Maybe something like this ....

Pic 2

jwrape · 05-01-2005, 03:09 PM

That would most likely work, but it might put extra stress on those shock towers. I generally try to keep my links on the same plain to keep from binding when articulating. Maybe make a U bracket that can be mounted to the chassis between the shock towers.

jwrape · 05-01-2005, 03:13 PM

I would mount the upper links just above the lower links on the chassis where you show in the pics.

MC-Maxim · 05-01-2005, 03:15 PM

It`s verry hard to put there something. I think that I`ll try with the first idea
