I am looking for some design ideas from you guys that have built rear suspensions for your karts.
This is a high quality rendering of what I had in mind....
The long red line is the shock. The short red line is the hinge/joint that connects the lower swing arm to the chassis.
Is this something that would work...geometry-wise? It seems that I would need to do some trial and error to get the best travel out of the setup.
Another thought I had was to run the top of the shock to the backside of the chassis, and then down to the swing-arm.....instead of that bar above the engine that is shown in the pic above.
