Vector Buggy - Cyberbrick RC car platform

Vector Buggy - Cyberbrick RC car platformGoalThe goal of this project was to design an RC car chassis with real suspension travel, allowing it to handle well both on-road and off-road. I wanted to use the springs included in the Cyberbrick Beginner’s Kit to make the design more accessible and affordable. Creating 3D-printable shocks at this scale was challenging, but I developed a solution that is relatively simple to assemble. To give the RC car extra power, I chose to use two 400 RPM N20 motors. Suspension designI took inspiration from several other RC cars and decided to use double wishbone suspension at both the front and rear. With two control arms per wheel, this system allows the wheels to move up and down while maintaining consistent tire contact with the ground. This improves stability, grip, and overall handling. I also incorporated caster angle into the front suspension to improve steering stability and ensure better straight line control. You also have to option to add prel
