And making the inside tire turn more without the outside will decrease the turning radius
LiveWire, Have a look see at this pic. Can you see how much more the inside wheel is turning compared to the outside. If Carl can take a bit of turn, out of the inside wheel, and transfer that to the outside wheel, I think you'll see that the turn radius will get smaller. He doesn't have to take very much at all. I understand that the inside wheel needs to turn further than the out side because the radius of the inside wheels path is shorter than that of the outside. That part is easy, however. If the outside wheel doesn't turn in enough to match the turning radius of the inside wheel plus the difference between the tires you will have increased your turning radius as the weight is transferred to the outside tire in a turn. Do you follow?
It would be difficult to make it strong and adjustable. Plus it would screw with bumpsteer unless you also made the rack spacer adjustable.
Looking totally BADD ASS Eng! Love yer design for enclosing over that tube, very stout.
just a thought while your welding, maybe a brace tube for the lateral links would be a good idea. there is more load there than you think.
Looks good Eng! I gotta ask though how much do ya think it'll weigh? Is that steel that you cut up to make the front shock mounts would that be 6mm? Or is it closer to 4mm?
Crazy, not even in the dirt yet and it is on its lid? Don't let it sit too long like that. It might just want to assume that position from habit if you do.
Thanks! Can't wait to test it for tough.Ok start painting on it!Actually, The bearing carrier is getting some final machining then I will get some detailed pictures out back. I actually think that 6 tubes tying into the 1/4" 5-link/bearing carrier housing is enough but tell me your concerns!I hope to get the motor set in place this week to start thinking about how to tie its mounts in as well.
A small rant.To the person who "drew" up the Busa and posted the drawing online, thanks for nothing jerkoff. Are you related to Stevie Wonder? Seriousely did you use a yardstick to measure it up? When at first glance my tape measure told me you were drunk I should have listened, but no I thought maybe I wasn't seeing the holes quite right, after all who would go to all the trouble of drawing the motor in 3D if they weren't going to do it right... So I made parts off your drawing only to find out nothing fits because some crosseyed inbred goat lover must have had his head up his ass while drawing pretty pictures. My advice, stick to your crayons you half breed poser, if you had ever built anything in real life you would know that the numbers matter to people actually building something. Next time you draw something don't use google earth to get a picture of it and scale from there, It will make all of our lives a little better.
