Hello! I haven't received my last bulk order from Canada so I'll go ahead and start the WIP topic as the model stands now. I have finished the rear axle and won't make any changes until I see fit. The difference between this version compared to the previous 5 is that I want to attempt more complex suspension systems while still retaining enough strength for the speeds seen with my V5. The drivetrain is different in order to accommodate the rear suspension. 4 Buggy motors driving a 40 tooth gear from the slower output, which drives a modified 4L differential that I've had for a while-it can handle more torque. Photos: It can be locked but I used the driving ring as more of a spacer. I used pneumatic cylinders with Lego springs inside similar to nicjasno's large scale builds. It might be too stiff but we shall see. This version has the sturdiest construction with no chassis flex, and I'll try to keep it that way with a mostly studded frame. I limited the travel so it won't scrape too easily, and the unequal length arms allow for gradual negative camber. If you haven't noticed, the rear is an even stud length rather than the odd length I usually work with, so I had to use some odd pieces to get the desired features. Like I said in another topic, I made sure the rear suspension used nicjasno's custom hubs, and this is the simplest and strongest idea I came up with. Very unusual building techniques were used, but I'm very satisfied with the result. I might have to reinforce some elements later on. Everything is snug, with no room to spare. Hope you all like it so far, the next update should be when the frame starts to take shape. Another note: only a few pieces were modified, which upsets the ancient purist inside me, but I promise I will avoid mangling parts as much as I can
