Pushrod Suspension Test

292 mstates414  5.5 years ago

A simple car with pushrod suspension, with and anti-roll bar. The idea is that the car has very little body roll through corners. You can add weights to test how well it works. Its a proof of concept. VTOL IS THROTTLE, ROLL IS TURN

    Thanks, but I didn't really invent it myself. I checked real life pushrod suspension designs and tried to replicate it here.

    Sorry. I was mostly referring to the anti-roll thing. I didn't know what type of design it was called. @Shanethepain1

    Looks cool but that's a horizontal spring not a pushrod
