 | | Suspension for supercar sized Hummer? —Michael Camilleri
|
| | | I have been thinking about building a supercar Sized Hummer for some time now and have run into a problem. I need a 4wd independent suspension with good ground clearance. I plan to use the wheels off of the Super Street Sensation and want the center (...) (23 years ago, 17-Oct-01, to lugnet.technic)

| | | | | Finally, a decent Technic discussion! (...) I'm not sure if it will be easy to get 2.5" of ground clearance given the wheels you will be using. You might be better off using the "power puller" wheels: Power Puller: (URL) Off Roader: (URL) much (...) (23 years ago, 16-Oct-01, to lugnet.technic, lugnet.robotics)

With enough shock absorbers, it would definitely support a model the size of a big super car. TJ (23 years ago, 17-Oct-01, to lugnet.technic, lugnet.robotics)

| | | | | | | | (...) Yep. I only wish that Lego made a tire that looks like the old 24x43's but is much larger in diameter. What I would like to see is a tire the same diameter as the power puller's, but "squared off" (like the silver champion's) and with deeper (...)

| | | | | | | | After Looking at it a second time I think that suspension will really work great. It is a little hard to see exactly how it is built from the pictures.

| | | | | | One thing I forgot to mention is that this will be powered by 4 gear motors on the back wheels and 2 to steer. The steering wheels will be powered by an RCX and monitored with a rotation sensor. The back 4 will be powered by a battery box controlled (...) (23 years ago, 17-Oct-01, to lugnet.technic)

| | | | (...) One thing to remeber about hummers is they often have geared hubs, which raises the suspension even further off the ground. I've thought about trying to build these before, but never had any firm ideas - simething else always seems to take (...) (23 years ago, 16-Oct-01, to lugnet.technic)
