[blendergrennhorn]

it#s ok but i think it better you build a a car out of that chassi

[edu29ropelato]

It's so genial, the inventor too :D

[viperboost931]

This would be realy cool to see in cantilevered or inborad suspension.

[joshstep1]

A what?

[samturner123]

angle the top of the shocks towards the middle, more travel! :D

[24evanwilson]

the most ba lego car eva lol

[joshstep1]

LOL, thanks!

[24evanwilson]

ah, i remember when i was 5 this is all i would do lol, techy crap

[joshstep1]

Thats all i did then, thats all i do now

[hurtch35]

that wuold be a pneumatic suspention not hydrolic

[joshstep1]

thanks genius, learn to spell hydraulic

[GraveyardKing666]

Actually,he's right,it is pneumatic,not hydraulic. Hydraulic systems utilize compressed fluid,and pneumatic systems utilize compressed air. Either way,you did a great job. Very creative.

[joshstep1]

Thanks. I'll change the title.

[MiklosRabi]

Great idea, but it is not hydraulic and not a real suspension...

[joshstep1]

ok, what would you call it?

[MiklosRabi]

Independent pneumatic clearance adjuster? :o)

[PLOTLAKER5]

DUDE ... i mean... i make lowrider model cars hop & all that, but ive never seen such suspension like that. what did u use ? where did u get the stuff?...

boss

[peytonhambleypsh1998]

sweet

[footprint20002]

You shouldnt have to glue parts together, 1 brick 2 plates 1 brick and you can pin it together and its stronger then glue.

Either way nice one, made a lowrider a few years back it was a fun project try powering the wheels next, tip: the universal joints wont have enough articulation.

[joshstep1]

if the universal joints dont have enough articulation, what else could i use?

[polar600prox2]

a belt system with linkage that constantly tensions the belt

[joshstep1]

ok, i think i know what your taking about. but how am i going to create some kind of bendable axle, like when you take a universal joint and put rods on each end. any ideas for that?

[footprint20002]

You really dont want a "bendy" axle how would that transfer torque? Theres several options you could mod some parts to to allow for the change in camber as the axle will need to be shorter in the middle of the stroke, you could also use a CV joint (PN# x1029 use peeron) and a UV on the other end, or you could always make a mash up gears for a sort of VPP(12t bevels all over the place) but its not my project ;) and thats half the fun makes jigsaws look so easy

[polar600prox2]

are those real powerfull?

[joshstep1]

that kind of depends on your definition of "powerful". they are powerful enough to lift my car with ease and they could definitely lift more if I were to weigh it down with something

[polar600prox2]

nice, how many switches did you use?

[joshstep1]

4, one per pneumatic

[austin5797]

i hear a wii at the begining

[GTASADUDE]

Low rider, nice

[alph0ns]

make it look like a dog, that would be neat :)

[Scorge120]

Thats pretty neat, mind getting a video of the compressor? would love to see it come out of hiding ;P

[legotuner]

nice makes me wish i had some pnematics

[JOEMAMA070]
