The fact that you spend more time reading RCVD than any other book from your M.E. course.
Ed is right. if you changed the angle of the push rod you're gonna alter your motion ratio, the leverage you're applying on the shock and might have to redesign the rocker. The more horizontal (in...
That sentence pretty much sums up my last 2 months!
Everyone knows a alot about engine but no one knows a thing about suspension other than "it has" to be really stiff. I got all kinds of crap...
So, you know the guys that wrote the article or were you the one who wrote it?!
The Fn formulae always get me in trouble because of working with the imperial system and its wicked conversions...

It makes sence, but then what do you use for natural frequency calculation? wheel rate or ride rate? I entered the team this year and my job was to develop a...
Thanks. But yeah, last year pirate4x4's article on suspension design was what really taught me how to draw a linkage suspension system, well it only gave me the basics, but it was all i needed, first...
According to what I've read:
wheelrate = spring rate/ motion ratio^2
WR=k/MR^2
or:
WR=k*IR^2
IR= instalation ratio = shock travel/wheel travel
Hey Francis, my team also uses Fox Van R shocks, they're relatively cheap but unfortunatelly lack compression adjustments. If you can get a few more cash definitely go for the DHX.
Here's the...
When i joined formula student last year i was surprised there were teams still using Risse Racing shocks. They're long forgotten in the mountainbike scene, their forks and shocks had problems and i...
Yeah, Dart's car was stunning. Do you have any link for more pictures of that car?
Their website has pics but they're just too small.
One question:
What percentage of bump/droop do you guys think it's the more appropriated for FSAE cars and general circuit racing single seaters?
I come from a mountainbike background where we...
Hi Eklavya, to determine the type of rocker motion you have (falling rate or rising rate), you can easily visualize it like this:
1. The rocker starts (full droop) at a certain angle to the shock,...
Beautiful video, specially the first part. Also looks like a fun track to drive.
