I have watched about 10 of your videos this morning and I am really impressed thank you

[@thefastandthenerdy]

Glad you like them!

Thank you so much. This is very helpful for my Vehicle dynamics class :)

[@thefastandthenerdy]

Glad it was helpful! Is there any other videos you'd like me to make?

[@Carlos-cu7ml]

@@thefastandthenerdy At the moment I wouldn't be able to suggest any specific topic. But if anything comes to my mind, I'll let you know. Thank's for creating such amazing content! :)

Very helpful video! Where did you get the formula for find the Z component of the COG? Is there a specific textbook or other resource you referenced?

[@thefastandthenerdy]

There are a number of books, but the one I like is Race Car Vehicle Dynamics by William F. Milliken. It's not the cheapest book, but extremely detailed

Thanks Skye, I'm happy you enjoyed it

Is there a list of cars' CoG that I could find somewhere?

[@thefastandthenerdy]

Not that I am aware of, sorry

Hey ! Great video. I am facing a problem with finding/knowing the axle weight front/rear (Mercedes w124 E200 1993). Is there any way to calculate them since I can not find the axle weight anywhere ? Cant calculate the CoG without them, obviously. Thank you

[@thefastandthenerdy]

G'day mate, There isn't a way that I know of to calculate the axle weight from the car weight if you don't know the CoG. Some options, You can weigh it yourself, take it somewhere to weigh it, or you can use a bathroom scale and some wood to do each wheel individually. If you don't want to do that, you could look at similar cars, see where their CoG is located, take an average, and calculate it from that. But that's not going to work too well if you have or are planning on modifing it. Let me know if you find a way
