Nice video and 3d printed parts. But how those wheels performs? That was the point and you missed it.

[@pazsion]

this was sopposed to demonstrate your idea and test it, but you instead built a whole rc car and didnt test it at all 😔

[@hugh_jasso]

The idea isn't new but I like that you're DIY'ing it. The high quality ones I've seen have the shocks angled perpendicular to the ground on the forward spin so they bite and absorb into the surface better. I would also either go with narrow wheels or increase the number of "spokes" to support the wide wheel base since they're hinged and not a solid connection spoke.

[@himadrisinha2005]

I like how the cameraman is running behind the car 😂

[@Rose_Butterfly98]

The wheels should be going the other direction so the suspension works better

[@masterplayer5982]

The idea is very intriguing ❤! Also something i must say, the shock absorbers allow the mass of the wheel (centre of mass) itself to move anywhere on the plane of rotation this means at high speeds the wheel’s centre of mass would be flung away from the hub bearing. Meaning the car would start hopping instead of rolling if u getting it spinning fast enough 😅

[@jweatherly26]

This was exactly my first thought.

[@proknow]

Thank you very much!😊

[@SKAvius.]

Very nice and elegant work! 😉👍 But wouldn't you want to separate the electric motors? Make two axles, two belts, one motor would drive the right wheel and the other motor would drive the left wheel. Then the whole car could make sharper turns much more easily. This would be an easier solution for off-road than installing a differential, because the differential will spin without locking. And you could programmatically adjust the power to each wheel, e.g. put more power to the left wheel when turning right.

[@johntuffy5721]

[@keegansillaots4327]

That was a very cool video, man! I had a feeling right away that the wheels wouldn't work. Maybe with more shock absorbers and fastened in a much sturdier way.

[@SuperEightOneEight]

nice idea..perhaps the design of the wheels can be improved to ensure its stability and rigidness..as per my observation ...first..the ball end of the shocks should be eliminated as it promotes variable axis movement..instead use cylindrical shims..these should hold the both end of the shocks more rigid to the rim flanges and center hub at the hex housing...2nd..maybe the wheels is better of with rubber tyres..with soft foam inserts to further enable stabilizing the rolling resistance and jolts from surfaces...only then once the wheels are near fully stable..u can start to play with the spring rates and shock oil viscocity...to get the exciting motion damping experience and uniqueness from the wheels in countering the unsprung weight it bares on the wheel hex and hub....hope my 2 cents sparks new idea for u...have a great days ahead..and keep up the great videos.

[@antonnym214]

Dost, yah ek shandaar pahiye ki design hai

[@sageoz9886]

Not really. It’s been tested before many times and it makes zero sense. There’s tons of issues just looking at the design: much more rotational weight, much more unsprung weight, inconsistent suspension absorbing at certain wheel angles, weak lateral rigidity, lateral force shock shaft stiction, shock shafts being drug through dirt, buying extra shocks. There’s so many great reasons why this isn’t a useful design idea

[@craftycri]

Its so funny, I kept expecting you to say you were from the IRS and I needed to get google gift cards to pay off back taxes.

[@Persanity]

1st thought without watching anything yet: This can't work because the tire would never be on center with the hub and you'd never get a smooth ride at speed. That said, at very slow speeds doing something like rock crawling wheels like these could absolutely work well.

[@deanselvyn8579]

This is very interesting, l love watching this kinda stuff.

[@ioannisbatas1614]

Superb !!!

[@Termini_Man]

I've seen a similar concept used to a really good effect. In a 1 pound/454 gram combat robot/battle bot called cheesecake, the rims of the wheels are 3d printed (more than likely TPU, but I'm not sure) and have 3 spokes that are springy. they work incredibly well at preventing too much shock from traveling through the wheel and damaging the axles axels or the motor. Combat robotics, especially at the one pound (454 grams) deal with incredible forces, being hit with rotating weapons that store insane amounts of energy, have incredibly powerful weapon and drive motors (even weaker drive motors can spin their tires against the ground),and LiPo batteries can only be used a hand full of times before they are too burnt out. In this harsh field, where a full suspension assembly would be too complex, heavy, and prone to failure, the springy wheels are phenomenal.

[@tobins6800]

Check out Softwheel and GeoOrbital wheels. Torsional rigity wasn't there. As someone else had pointed out as well, without using the same words. Softwheel looks like the wheel side is directly attached to the rim of the wheel. That might be key.

[@chris993361]

I think with the shock absorbers angled around the circle the way they are, you would probably want ones that are neutral in the center of their travel so that they can resist motion on extension and compression based on braking versus acceleration forces. Don't quote me on that but it feels like you don't want their natural position to be at full extension.

[@miauzure3960]

you didnt even show how the suspension works in slowmo or at least stationary, and that was what I was most waiting for

[@dodihsupriyadih9281]

❤❤❤ kamu punya video. Lanjutkan. !!

[@caramelcat4987]

This is a very cool concept. I wonder if they will ever use something like this in the future. I like it a lot!

[@toolbaggers]

Those ae shocks/dampers that are only supposed to see loads in one axis. You need struts that can handle the side loads better.

[@insoleafptyptd3801]

Thoroughly enjoyed your video. Very well done and inspirational

[@Mr.ky89]

I would love to see it made, thank you

[@osevenninefiver]

you'll need better balance and maybe apply some camber. the centrifugal force around turns and downforce will tighten the suspension in the wheels, and offroading might just be backflips until you get over the obstacle. could try to make the wheels go faster with more downforce and pressure, but then you'll need serious differential set-ups fot curves.

[@gsestream]

nice idea, even better, you can but an electric hub motor in the middle, also. you could also try spiral leaf spring wheels.

[@dylanhalifaux]

I wonder how gyroscopic procession will affect this. You might find that the forces are being applied at 90 degrees to the ground, and the wheels will just slide forward relative to the axle.

[@desibaaboo]

The way Shocks placed under the wheels ,killed the DOF of suspension (degree of freedom).civil,mech,robotics Engineers can easily get my point.

[@patrickradcliffe3837]

If you're using a 3D printer, it would have been better to design compliant wheel hubs with multiple spokes that would absorb impacts. The biggest issue I see is axle pulling the shocks apart under heavy torque.

[@Quantic-Frequency]

@@proknow Yes I can not say lies I love engineering

[@Hararion]

I think the concept will doesn’t work because of the centrifuge forces implied on the rotational axis of the wheels, also it have several vector forces aiming in all directions on the same axis, so the shocks absorbers just tend to stiff and doesn’t absorb the impacts… and on top of that, if the rotation of the wheels are faster, the system becomes less effective because the centrifuge forces are more strong…

[@NothingBurger86]

maybe the design could be modified to be more resistant to torsion. (adding an extra 3 coilovers, while keeping the number of hub mounting points at 3.)

[@NothingBurger86]

by the way, I have considered the concept of replacing the coilovers with tensioned bungee cord.

[@angryhusky2467]

The suspensions are at their max so they wont provide any travel on the bumps because is one trys to move down other two will stop it. Although you have kept them at an angle but at such scale that wont provide any major benefit. The suspension is not providing both up and down motion, its providing only down motion for the vertical and no up motion for the other two. So check the suspension travel. Cant say anything about the stability though.
