February 19, 201213 yr Send it it me and i can do it with any sr3d. I tried it with sr3d, but it's still very difficult, because sr3d doesn't support such complicated movements (yet). Edited February 19, 201213 yr by legolijntje
February 19, 201213 yr I have made the two models Sheepo wanted and added stearing,a small bit of camber.not sure about the caster if Eric whould like to pm me i will send them to him ready for him to work his 'magic'. Edited February 19, 201213 yr by Alasdair Ryan
February 19, 201213 yr Thanks to all for your interest and work . I am not very goob using CAD programs Along the next weeks I will add more than 30 new axles... and some others still under development :laugh:
February 19, 201213 yr How is the stability with some of the axle components with the shocks absorbers set off to one side? Have you built all of these and tested them or are you just making them in CAD?
February 19, 201213 yr Along the next weeks I will add more than 30 new axles... and some others still under development :laugh: More than 30 I didn't even know one can make so many different axles I can't wait to see it, luck with it Edited February 19, 201213 yr by legolijntje
February 19, 201213 yr All MPS`s axles and chassis have been built with real parts and thoroughly tested. I don't have pictures of all them, but here some examples... The last one has not posted yet... Edited February 19, 201213 yr by Sheepo
February 20, 201213 yr Please, can you make a pair of renders with this configurations? F.BD.1.1 + C.A.1 + R.AD.1.1B and F.A.1 + C.A.1 + R.CD.1 Done! You can find them at my Brickshelf account along with renders of the rear suspensions that I've now added.
February 20, 201213 yr Author @ Blakbird: Your renders make it easy to see how the MPS modules all fit together! Thanks for your work!
February 20, 201213 yr Blakbird thanks for the renders!!!! In the first one I can see until the sterring angle formed by the caster angle!!! With the first configuration you can build for example a Lambo Aventador And the pic posted by DLuders is an 5th gen. Ford Mustang :laugh: Also two more McPherson axles: http://www.sheepo.es/2012/02/mps-front-axles-iii-mcpherson-ii.html They are very similar to the previous axles, but with different steering configuration.

February 20, 201213 yr Sheepo, are you planning on incorporating any modular Gearboxes in the future? Also are there any platforms that you are going to build a new car off of? And what would you say is your favorite modular suspension/chassis combo?
February 20, 201213 yr Author @ Meatman: Sheepo has several gearboxes (with Building Instructions) on Sheepo's Garage Download page. On this post, Jurgen Krooshoop asked, "Can you tell me how to convert a SR3D file into an MLCad-file ? I didn't find an Export as .MPD file in SR3D. If I know how to convert the files, I can make MLCad instructions from your SR3D files for you if you like." To which Sheepo replied, "Hi Jurgen, thanks for your help!!! Convert it is very easy, you only need change the SR3D extension .L3B to .LDR, and you will can open it with MLcad and LDview ;)" The 5th-Generation Ford Mustang (mentioned by Sheepo above) looks like this -- the MPS is good for "pony cars" as well as Supercars: Edited February 20, 201213 yr by DLuders
February 20, 201213 yr @Dluders Some of those gearboxes are almost the same size of this new scaled chassis though and I don't think they'll fit. He used those in his much larger cars. What I meant was is he going to do new scaled down versions.
February 20, 201213 yr Is it just me or does it seem that Dluders has had a kick up the bum from someone? Edited February 20, 201213 yr by Alasdair Ryan
February 20, 201213 yr Yes, I have plans to make some gearboxes, but this is very difficult, and now I don't have much time... I don't have intentions tu build any car using this platform, because right now I have 5 big mocs not finished yet... all of them started before this MPS... My favourite combination with axles posted is the pic posted by Blakbird: F.BD.1.1 + C.A.1 + R.AD.1.1B. Now I am working with multilink rear axles... when they are published the combo maybe changes...
February 20, 201213 yr My favourite combination with axles posted is the pic posted by Blakbird: F.BD.1.1 + C.A.1 + R.AD.1.1B. Now I am working with multilink rear axles... when they are published the combo maybe changes... This is a fantastic idea Sheepo. By multilink do you mean parallel four bar, triangulated four bar and three bar rear ends? I have been trying to draw a parallel four bar with panhard rod in LDD to match your specs. cheers Surly
February 20, 201213 yr When I said multilink, I said real multilink :wink: Now I am testing some differents configurations with 4 and 5 links
February 21, 201213 yr @ Sheepo. I don't know how to thank you for this invaluable system. I've been looking at, and building, all the supercar MOC's I could find from the amazing designers online. I wanted to build my own supercar for over a year now, but, as mentioned earlier, didn't know where to start. I was also very intimidated by the MOCs of Crowkillers, Jovel, Eric Leppen, and of course, yours, to name a few. This is just the push (help) I needed to start up. Thank you. @ Blakbird. Eric, you continue to amaze with your work. Thanks. @ All. Thank you to all the designer's, MOCer's, and technician's for your hard work and generosity. I hope one day I can contribute also. -Mike
February 21, 201213 yr Author @ Sheepo: Do you work in an auto-related industry? How did you learn all about advanced steering and suspension geometry? Just curious.... Edited February 21, 201213 yr by DLuders
February 21, 201213 yr @ Sheepo: Do you work in an auto-related industry? How did you learn all about advanced steering and suspension geometry? Just curious.... Other than working in the auto industry, another way to learn all this stuff is to play with R/C cars and trucks. A few that I have owned have had all of these angles as well and have been adjustable. People who race them learn to adjust all the angles to maximize performance on whatever track surface they are using. I was never very good at it, but always fascinated with the concept.
February 21, 201213 yr @ Sheepo: Do you work in an auto-related industry? How did you learn all about advanced steering and suspension geometry? Just curious.... Unfortunately for me not ... I'm just an amateur mechanic with too much free time :laugh: , and I want to do things that nobody else does. Also, I want say that you have not seen more than 10% of what MPS will be in a few months... :devil:

February 22, 201213 yr No doubt a big big step for the technic lovers much more for car lovers, again thank you Sheepo , I hope you won´t build heavy machinery... let me something... .
