Front Suspension Test 1

EDIT I ended up adding a 2nd, stiffer pair of shocks, resulted in much better performance.
Here's a short clip of my front suspension in action. The shocks are a bit loose, I'll tighten them up

[@IkkFedt]

The music just fits so well :P

[@kingjeremysircornwell7847]

solid support strut the a-arms, like a ford mustang. han-hard bar

[@ufoistvan]

outstanding

[@claesmard]

looks nice!

[@wiggster1080]

Bummed this is the only video.. I've been searching for a square tubed gokart build.

[@samuelclark4525]

That's pretty cool. Is there a way to model how the suspension will react under load? I'd like to use my powerarc to make an ATV-like frame.

[@allegorigorkhali7140]

Great job

[@Tursof]

well done

[@TizocLopez]

That's a beautiful job. But you need to reinforcing the shock absorber bases... eventually they will break up...

[@Manehoph]

Nice build bro

[@fawzifawzi2686]

feels great huh

[@abdfakhour7561]

Hello, your idea gives me to think about for a construction thank you for giving me a link to order the shock absorbers and thank you for answering me (France)

[@zappycone]

very nice!!!

[@markunit72]

@slschw89 did you put bushings on the pivots or is it just bolt to metal

[@slschw89]

@markunit72 Great observation, I ended up having to put on a second pair

[@Waymaker_XJ]

do you have the plans of that Chassis?

[@saurabhjambotkar9077]

which springs did you used? n damper too?

[@adamxsquared]

the camber of the wheels will change dramatically with bumps, differrent loads, and cornering. Looks cool though

[@kylechapin1057]

7 years later, are you still dumb

[@BunkerBlog]

@@kylechapin1057 brutal lol

[@lightrose100]

jack stand should be at the tip of the a- arm

[@davecozzi9721]

That's what I was thinking. He may bottom out easier than planned. Cool build though.

[@pauloacedo7461]

At the tip will be even smoother like jelly

[@01Disme]

you will find with a single a-arm mounting point that the extreme camber change will cause a lot of bump steer. but nice job

[@janky831]

what tipe of shocks did you use or what brand??

[@wenull3]

looks like a great design! what tubing are u using?

[@Customwinder1]

Dod you finish the Sidewinder

[@robertrankin5848]

Computers, laboratory tests, graphics, digrams, engineers....WHAT THE HELL! just call this guy! (and pay him with a six pack)

[@MsYosemir]

Friend who plans go kart did you use for that?

[@over2seeyer]

lol that's the most unstable suspension system ever , driving this wold feel like driving a boat

[@NentoVasile97]

iron as you used ? :D

[@NegativeNumbers427]

Safety precaution: Were you wearing your ear guards?

[@jamesfernandes6602]

Ít´s good!!! very very good!!!....

[@thakiskoufis6049]

That chassis if from galvanized metal?

[@UPAngler]

It's good suspension..

[@kayacorak600]

it's good :)

[@witosarlaw]

Mantap banget bang.. sangat mudah di tiru. 🙏😊😊

[@jayaborbanyu9486]

🙌👍👍👍

[@markunit72]

i hope you got stiffer springs

[@cantervi6489]

Los amortiguadores estan muy al centro cuando le pongas las ruedas tal vez te quede muy blanda o baja

[@mathieutremblay7654]

looks really smooth, not good for pecise turn

[@xmrrush8355]

I'm no expert but aren't you at a risk of folding the control over without any kind of anti sway bar or linkage, you could probably get away with it if it had a wider attach point but with it be that narrow I don't know, just a thought, nice fab skills though

[@ffrgtm]

Make sure to let us know when you fold those a-arms... that mounting point is horrible... especially considering you made them out of SQUARE tubing.

[@aandharmawan2340]

Very2 soft the suspensi....good

[@eduardoserpa9816]

that you used suspencion

[@thecatcher20]

Nice, may I know the title of the song?

[@martinkarnov4024]

Good Time By Leroy

[@burakhanyilmaz2781]

can you give me your design plan

[@cidojoaquim2966]

Não sou progetista nem engenheiro, mais bercebi que a suspenção vai fica totalmente fora de cambagem, pois a parte superior da balança não compensa o movimento da parte inferior quando sobe. Ao subir não pode perder o alinhamento no sentido vertical, senão vai ficar comendo os peneus.

[@sidenyantonio9420]

Essa suspensão é a do projeto mesmo, o pessoal modifica para a duplo A por conta da cambagem mesmo

[@cmcney]

brother send me the plans for that chassis please

[@zeinairani8699]

If you have it can you send it to me ?

[@carlosrancho4568]

buen video quisiera fabricar uno.

[@joselito5286]

Hola me compartes los planos gracias

[@eliasriveros3401]

Vaya... Sueño con hacer algo así...

[@eliasriveros3401]

Tendrá planos eso?.....

[@eliasriveros3401]

Bueno, es de hace 10 años.... No creo...

[@joseluisalejoscalderon4696]

muy bien quisiera fabricar uno si me pueden ayudar se los agradecería gracias

[@bjarnieinarsson3472]

I don't like this design.. the angle of tire will change when suspension change etc.

[@aldriosvaldoimpacto1420]

gostei mano do progeto dianteiro do kart tem como mandar pra mim ti agradeço um fort abraço

[@jamesthebond0072]

Yeah probably be broken by the time you even put the wheels on it testing them shouldn't require jumping repeatedly

[@DMJ52]

Way too much camber change at wheel.Geometry needs correcting.

[@sabrialimi4095]

that was not test, wkwkwkwkw but coool

[@user-zg8ob1xh7m]

Упоры выставлены не правильно! Не компактная работа подвески показана

[@user-mo4tn6km5g]

Тест?! Ни о чём. Станет на колеса- рычаг изменится.
