Hi,
I'm a little bit off on a tangent, but I'm hoping you folks can help point me in the right direction...
I'm working on a research project in robotics, and the design calls for some suspension components that can handle some amount of potential abuse.
Searching all over the internet I think the solutions that the RC Rock Crawler community have come up with are probably just about perfect for this.
What I'm looking for specifically are the largest, stiffest, shock absorbers I can find off-the-shelf, or with some simple mods. (i.e. replace the springs with stiffer ones)
From what I have read the closest thing to what I need is probably in the 1:5 scale domain, but perhaps there is something better in 1:8 scale.
Any pointers to manufacturers, online suppliers, or other sources would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance!
