The rear suspension is a 4-link solid axle setup, with the lower two links in a “swing-arm” arrangement which means the shocks attach to the lower links rather than the axle housing. This image shows it decently well:

Another Railgun build was posted on Hackaday a few days ago, the videos in the post over there are awesome.
Larry Chen at Speedhunters has a write-up of the shoot.
The problem with this is (a) It didn’t happen in Florida, and (b) Even if Bugs Bunny saws Oklahoma off from the rest of the country Texas is right there to keep it in place.
Came for that gif, left satisfied.
No, Leadbull is saying Stef should be fired for sharing her opinion on Miatas, his comments further prove her point...
1969 Camaro convertible.
People tend to forget that horsepower is a function of RPM, they forget diesels in general don’t rev too high.
It probably is rolling coal, just the white tire smoke diffuses it.
Carl Spackler, the groundskeeper who is proud of his Kentucky Bluegrass / Featherbed Bent / Northern California Sensemilia hybrid claimed to have “medical properties” in certain states, was later seen carving clay replicas of Tony in his workshop and overheard saying “A license to kill Tonys, from the President of the…
Kurt Busch told NBC Sports that he feels as if the Air Titans trying to dry the track when it was wet earlier in the weekend may have opened up the pavement a little more and made it a bit more abrasive.
Hard CH, like in Check.
And that’s to produce one unit. If they tried to do a decent sized production run the time and money investment for each individual unit would dwarf the initial investment for tooling in traditional manufacturing methods, and the time to produce per unit would be much cheaper and quicker with traditional tooling.
Joie Chitwood rules all.
I personally would never want anything structural on my cars to be 3D printed plastic. And even looking at laser sintering the costs are so high that it would almost be cheaper to have a guy hand-form sheetmetal panels, the costs behind these things is ridiculous, they can only come down to a point and even at that it…
You’re comparing two completely different production types. NASA and Spave-X are very low-production, a part may be made once and never again so spending time and money on tooling is a waste of money. Contrast that to the Automotive industry where more than a couple of each part are produced, and at some point the…
I don’t see how 3D printing will ever be the future. The initial setup time investment may be a little lower, but every single item produced takes a long time to make. Traditional stamping has more time investment up front, but the time investment to actually produce each item is low.
Am I alone in thinking it’s such a waste to 3D print a car in 1:1 scale? The time to print is massive, the amount of plastic involved is massive, and the chassis is really weak because it depends on melted layer bonding in the Z-direction with zero possibility for vertical fiber integration that would be possible in…
Well he was leading the championship until the round before Vegas, so it’s kinda relevant to talk about his late-season slide.
