Hey all,
I'm very slowly continue to work on different warthog concepts in SolidWorks.
This is what I came atm to:

If you want this interactive rotateable model on your desktop (Windows .exe file),
download it from there
I need your opinions and tips, cause I'm not automotive engineer
Anybody?
Thanks in advance
Hello bevbor! I really like this project!
Sorry if this thread is dead, have you another?
Nice work on the independent WD, but I think you will need better differentials for the wheels to move at different rates while turning. Hence "Independent Wheel Drive".
Also maybe it would be clever to add a central independent diff (en par cars made for drifting), separating rear and front drivetrain in order to make the hog fishtail like in the game.
The engine block could be a flat six (boxer) like in a porsche, which might fit more snugly beneath the hood of the hog. If not V6, to make for a lower center gravity.
RB26DETT-ish if gasoline is preferable fuel.
Also your "legs" (yellow) would have to be two parts (hub and extension) since the extension should be made of a lighter material.
And I dont think anyone would mind if there was a shock/damper above each wheelmount.
Well, thats my two-cents. Who really knows.
And as for steering on all four wheels, I have no idea how to make that.
