Swincar Final

This is my attempt at replicating the Swincar by Pascal Rambaud, Jerome Arsac and Thierry James of the French company Mecanroc. It is not exactly the same as this is Scrap Mechanic. Most noteably, the ride height, wheelbase, and suspension. However, the principles stay true to the their design.

This car features a pendulum action on a single point of both the front and rear axle. This allows for the body to sway into turns. At higher speeds this does seem to result in some pretty fun drifting. At higher torque, it gives more weight to the outside tire, thus more traction.

I've made many modifications to get the car where it is. It's been shortened, widened (kind of), and the suspension has been altered. The real vehicles suspension cannot be directly replicated due to it using Bowden cables, but I have come up with something interesting. Let me know what you think of it. Thanks.

P.S. Don't turn up the motors.
