Your suspension points should dictate your roll cage... (within the limits of the rules). If you designed a roll cage with no idea where your suspension points should be you most likely will have a poorly designed suspension. |

Search around the forums and take a look. You'll need to pick wheel sizes, suspension travels, steering geometry, and dampers before you can begin to design your suspension system (A-Arms, Trailing Arms, Knuckles, etc). There's a lot of design in this, whether analytic (math) or graphic (CAD drawings) that you can use to achieve geometry that meets your design goals.
Also, be careful about designing your frame so far in advance! Rules change (sometimes). |
