Kayla Lee and Andrew Chang | Suspension | from Andrew Chang today - talks about the starting point range of control arm lengths for new car: stuff today i did today: looked into how LLTD works, its basically a % of how much lateral force is transferred between front/rear axles while turning, don't have to worry abt it just yet but will come into play once we have a more defined susp geometry looked at regs to get track width info, max car width is 2200mm (good estimate since we have external suspension this yr) looked into how other solar teams design their suspension to try to figure out how long they make their control arms, couldnt find any numbers yet so gonna keep digging on that talked to kenta & josh abt frontal frame width, found pedal box is 14" and frame tubes d=1" (so edge to edge frame width is 16" = 406mm), and measured that unsprung width from last car is roughly 100mm wide --> (2200-406-100)/2≈850mm which is max width for control arms if we assume min width for control arms is 120mm (from last yrs car) then we can say that the control arms are gonna be in a range of 120mm-850mm
