CW Custom Suspension Challenge (Use Successor System)

9,306 YTho  7.5 years ago

The goal is create a suspension designed entirely by you. You can look at other people's designs, but any copying is deemed cheating and is disqualified from the challenge. There will be three types of entries. The first will be offroad (performs best on rough uneven terrain, usually does not reach high speeds) , the second will be hybrid (can perform well on both rough terrain and smooth surfaces with a combo of speed, handling, and absorption), and street (meant to be quick and have amazing handling but suffers offroad). Included a xml modded stubby shock with half height and double width and length that is free to use. XML, finetuner, etc allowed but do not install mods that I will have to download to use. 500 part MAX!

I will test the offroad at the proving grounds and the course from Yeager to the convoy. Hybrid testing will be done from Yeager to convoy and at Jumpzone. Street will be done at the Raceway and possibly one other location (will gladly take ideas).

I will develop the official scoring within the next day or so. There will be a timed point scale for Yeager course and the Raceway for sure. There will be three sets of scoring as well, a set for each of the entry types.

Rewards are 15 upvotes for 1st, 10 upvotes for 2nd, and 5 upvotes for 3rd. Offroad, hybrid, and street will each have a 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place. All entries will be upvoted.

All entries due August 1st!!!

    Literally as long as you don't copy someone else's design you're good. It can be as simple or as complicated as you like @SlowJet

    It doesn't HAVE to be complicated. You just have to make something with the shocks to absorb the bumps for the vehicle @SlowJet
