Hey everyone, here's just a quick update on the design of the "Indestructible V8". I have finalized the design and decided what componets to use for the suspension. I am going to use the traditional 4-link suspension design in the front and back to allow for lots of travel and lots of axle tilt. Here is a picture showing the basic design of a four link suspension setup...
This is not exactly what it will look like but it gives you a good idea of what the basic 4-link looks like. In the picture the left side would be attached to the frame and the right side would be welded to the axle.
For the suspension I am going to use air shocks which are filled with nitrogen. I choose these shocks because of their low cost, especially compared to coil-overs as well as their high performace and ease of use. There will probably be 18 inches of travel in the front and rear.
Have a better idea? or just a question? Leave a comment.
