Carriage Suspension, v3

Posted on

The model of a carriage suspension built using LEGO® pieces.

For the new project, I needed the carriage suspension again, so I improved the previous version.

Note that the result is technically no longer a carriage due to the use of wheels with tires, and that it should have been published in the LEGO® Technic™ MOC section, since it doesn't contain any LEGO® System parts. However, I just wanted to link this project to the past versions that served as its inspiration.

And I want to point out one curious fact. As shock absorbers, I used parts "6027565: SHOCK ABSORBER, HARD" from set 42140 App-Controlled Transformation Vehicle and parts "6378472: SHOCK ABSORBER, HARD, NO. 1" from set 42164 Off-Road Race Buggy. And they are different parts (see on the part number)! But no matter how many times I looked, I never found any differences between them.

I also find it interesting that the part "BEAM 9 MODULE, w/ 4.85 HOLE, NO. 1" in length 9, which is more appropriate here than the used part "6330585: BEAM 11 MODULE, w/ 4.85 HOLE, NO. 1" in length 11, apparently still out of production, although similar parts have been produced in many other lengths.
