    Fully suspended Technic chassis —Fredrik Glöckner
   Hi, right now I'm in the progress of making a Technic chassis with the same wheels and roughly the same dimensions as 8440 and 8445 (and 2556). In addition, it has all round independent suspension (with one small shock absorber per wheel), front (...) (25 years ago, 30-Jul-99, to lugnet.build)

        RE: Fully suspended Technic chassis —Ralph Hempel
   (...) (URL) I was wondering about the lack of beams ( I only looked at the front view ) Is there enough rigidity using ( ingeniously ) axles as frame members? This would, of course, be realistic since many classic roadsters used the space frame (...) (25 years ago, 30-Jul-99, to lugnet.build)
   
        Re: Fully suspended Technic chassis —Fredrik Glöckner
   (...) Yes, I'd say so. Certainly, this chassis wouldn't be solid enough for a large rig, say, but for a light racing car, it feels right. I've tried to bend the chassis various ways to test the rigidity, and it feels solid enough. Certianly, it does (...) (25 years ago, 30-Jul-99, to lugnet.build)
