could anybody send me drawings of an irs set up using sierra diff. like mk indy and locost limited chassis
What kind of drawing?
Hand sketch, AutoCAD, Pro Engineer?
Maybe the photo section might be of some use?
Rich.
I would like a set in AutoCAD if anyone can oblige please, for a setup with wishbones - not the standard Sierra training arms though.
Second to that then a dimensioned hand sketch would do, as long as the figures are right! I'll redraw it (them) and feed them back to others.

Don't hold your breath, but I'm currently learning solid edge while creating a rather tasty 3d model of the book chassis front with a tiger (IRS) rear
end, which is, coincidentaly enough, what is sitting in my garage in a halfway state of completion. So, if and when I complete them, rest assured I'll
post them on here. I've already modeled the rear wishbones if you're interested. They have been adjusted to result in the same mounting dimensions but
using lolocost wishbone tubes, bushes and crush tubes, all of which have been seperated modeled and assembled. The coilovers could be particularly
fun !!

i have two different autoCAD drawings of IRS rears.......
kingr, youre using solid edge? we use that at work. you have it at work or at home? its pretty effin good isnt it. we got some luverly workstations
here that will let us model our assemblies, with over 5000 seperate parts. thats over 5000 seperate 3D objects for those of you who dont use it.......
also the space mouse makes the job a whole lot easier as well.
Space mouse? 5000 parts, that's one mammoth assembly, what are you using SGI hardware or what? Can't think any i386 platform is going to cope very
well with that. I've got it at home, errrmmm, on trial as such, possibly, although I think I deleted it, or something.

well the dongle at the back is the licence. so if youve got that and your companys agreement ur not breaking the law..... supposedly.
the space mouse is not a mouse as such but a small and very sensitive joystick that manipulates the model through the 3D space. so you control the
model with your left hand and draw with your right (using the normal mouse)
Hi All!
i was designing something like that using turbocad, i have solidedge, too difficult!
I designed a mix between the McSorley +4 and the Tiger's IRS.
Mine was just a "test".. anybody have a clear idea if the suspension geometry will work well (or just decently) in the reality?

If by "in the common way" you mean putting it in the public domain, then that is what I have every intention of doing. However, the question of law
does come up a little bit and I wouldn't want to take money from either of the authors of the books. There are a few things that make me feel more
justified in publishing the plans if I ever finish though. Firstly, it's not a new design and any designer that tries to tell you that they thought it
all up from new is talking crap, Ron champion took his cues from Wastefield, MK took his from Ron Champion, and SPD took theirs from MK (more than
just a little). Secondly, I am actually adding value to the designs, not just copying them wholesale. Thirdly, RCs design has errors and Tigers is
absolutely ridden with them, it was bad enough using their plans for just the rear, I shudder to think what it must be like using them for the front.
Finally, people don't just buy the books for the plans, both contain a large ammount of useful information. Don't underestimate the tiger book, while
it is less comprehesive than RCs (I wouldn't want to build a car using only them) they make an excellent suplement to RCs book, and are more up to
date (version 3 of BYOSC not having yet appeared).
