Mainly because I want to make the drive a certain way and I didn't think I could do it with a-arms. 5 link had to many heims and was a bit complicated for me and I wasn't too keen on three link. Trailing arm seems to work fine for all the other buggies in my club .Here some pictures of the reversing chain case.
Thanks, ill keep an eye on it. That's actually the forwards sprocket though. The bush will not be rotating relative to the shaft most of the time, only in reverse, so the speed shouldn't be to high.
Nicely done. How much time do you have on it so far?
Just curious as to what you can do with trailing arms that can't be done as well or better with a arms. There are advantages to a arms. WHat were the cons to using them other than the large number of heims,if you wish to discuss . Always looking for other view points . It's how we learn here.
I'd say no issue at all. Do I recall this idea being tossed around @ MBN or somewhere a couple years or so ago? Is this a first off prototype or have you been running it for a time?
Ah, chain is for forward. Bushing is the better choice for that then as it will have pretty low surface speeds in reverse. Unless you plan on doing some top speed reverse runs LOL........
