No Lego Shock Absorbers? No problem.

I wanted to build a Lego Technics vehicle with working suspension, but I don't have any shocks or springs, so I came up with this using only elastic hair ties.

guys obviously zeleftikam is kind of a jerk, (a smart jerk) who is also very immature, so leave him alone... and dude ur a jerk for not making a tutorial when people ask u nicely ur at least acting like one. learn to be polite back.

@8182junebug I love you!

[ryanhogan14]

your a bitch

[zeleftikam]

@ryanhogan14 My what?

[CKDindustry]

The wheels goes outside when you push it! This can't work! You know why all the cars use springs as the suspension? Because they are the better than all other kinds of shock absorbers

p.s. your video sucks.

@CKDindustry Thanks!

mate, its not a crappy idea, its a very good idea which displays brilliant ingenuity when faced with a lack of components

[Mort221]

no problem, i dont like seeing people being told their idea is crap when it is obviousley a good idea =)

[quakenxt]

how to build?

[p38lightning7]

Your idea is not crap, it is unrealistic.

[TomLocura]

interesting idea, i like what you've done, but the problem of the body hitting the ground might make for a few issues, could you have it so the body is higher up?

[tgboardrider]

ok nice but how will it turn?

I take a long wide flat piece 8x4 and anchor part of it and put wheels on the other part
