Re: What If ?
The rear has two bulkheads that screw to the gearbox sides , these are for mounting the suspension arms , the load is not going into the gearbox as there are screws that will go up from the chassis plate into the bulkheads and from the rear there will be a shock mount that screws into the bulkheads both sides to further brace them . I was tempted to mold the arm mounts into the gearbox as I could have made the arms a couple of mm longer but for now I like the option of it being an add on kit .
It's designed to work with stock wheels .
The front suspension is also getting a makeover with longer bottom arms and adjustable upper arms .
I've tried to design the arms as an homage to the original fronts , top arm is adjustable and there are two shock mounts on the lower arm , I've kept the track the same mostly to simplify finding drive shafts .
The pictures below are with one side mounted to one of my 3d printed gearboxes .

Re: What If ?

Re: What If ?

Re: What If ?
Front bulkhead and arms , the hub carrier I've made 5mm wider to make it more stable , the stock one is only 10mm wide where the pins link to the arms and if you have an adjustable camber upper arm it needs more stability .
