Re: [TANKS] Re: suspension questions

There are ways around the vibration - Neil, for example, tends to suspend his electronics inside the tank rather than making suspension for the tank. It certainly works and it's certainly an easier solution. Personally, I like designing and building suspensions but I would never claim that they

[TANKS] Re: suspension questions

I did manage a reasonable facsimile of the Vickers 'slow motion' suspension as found on the A9, A10 and Valentine tanks but it was a ball-ache to build and an even bigger one to set up. OK, it looks beautiful when it's moving and it was fun as an engineering exercise but it adds nothing to the R

Not sure what you mean. Are you talking about pairs of wheels on a walking beam suspended independently (NbFZ VI http://fc06.deviantart.net/fs71/f/2011/159/b/b/pz_nbfz_vi_by_nicksikh-d3id26u.jpg ) or against another pair ( M13/40 - http://www.africaaxisallied.com/img/upload/m1441ert.jpg or 35

I have a surplus of batteries at the moment - both 12Ah and 7Ah. The Morris can use either and I suspect that either will run her all day since the motors are so small. On Wednesday, 18 July 2012 22:53:38 UTC+1, Neil Rochford wrote: > > We have a few 12v 12AH that Mr Arundel has salvaged as he

Wow, Internally sprung trailing arms! It's a neat solution but the engineering involved is way beyond the average home workshop. Do you have access to a laser cutter? On Friday, 29 June 2012 07:30:08 UTC+1, Grant Stonnell wrote: > > Hi guys, have just found you and i am part way through a build
