Here's the sim under a 2 deg roll, the suspension when set to a static 1deg camber becomes near 0 camber at 2 deg roll. The Roll Centre height has only dropped about 3mm here...
I havn't draw the other side of the car yet and you need to, to get a true picture of where the roll centre is but just for now it shows me that it's very stable...

If your only using it for your build topic pictures then thats plenty, you wont hit your limit

(tongue in cheek warning) if you wait long enough, the various TMF server upgrades will delete your pictures for you. I'm suprised that your pics from the old (inspirational by the way) "F1 Mini" build haven't been deleted by now. I've been hit more than once...

Only 2D at present just to get a feel of the original RC points, and how much they move under roll and compression. But will do in 3D on final version for my car, as need to move out board the front pickup points due to width of engine and gearbox, and easier to get rid of bump steer in Cad before making new Steering arms etc.

 

F1 Mini,

 

How are you coming on this project? Have you made any updates to your models of the original front suspension and derived geometry measurements?

 

I'm starting to ramp up a project myself where I'll be designing a front sub-frame and front suspension targeting 13" wheel optimization and optimized more for the track than the street...

If you have any updated drawings or would even share some of your research on the rear - that would be very appreciated by me. Thanks!
