Its my first tank, and i also dont no if they are stromg enough-But they
are made of steel, and if they dont hold, i will weld some more steel to
them :-)
what is the size of the steel arms?
what do you think the weight of the finished tank will be (not including
tracks)?
from what i have seen in the past, the guys find the total weight of the
vehicle, then divide that by the number of suspension arms. i think from
there they triple (3x's) the weight - taking that number and looking for a
spring that has a spring rate max that matches that, this way as your
traveling
down the road and start to run over things, the springs can handle that
extra force now being needed
? - tank weight total
divided by
? suspension arms
x 3
= max spring rate per spring/suspension arm
(does that sound about guys or should that have been 4x?)
