Default Re: First Desert Mini Buggy Build

More pics of the progress, we only work on it about 1 day/ week so progress is a bit slow. *Hopefully this weekend we'll get to making the cage, and bracing the front bulkhead. *The front hub/spindle centerline will intersect the lower outer A-arm pivot, so the lower A-arm inclination will govern the wheel recession. *The lower arm inclination is about 12 degrees, and the upper is about 19 degrees. *This gave 4 in. of wheel recession throughout the 20 in. travel while maintaining about 10% anti dive, (based on a few assumptions) *It unfortunately also produced lots of caster gain. *Its kind of a test bed so we'll see how it handles. *The lower arm inner pivots are on delrin bushings, the uppers will be rodends.
