Ball Joint

[Azimech]

I hacked the IR station bearing so it would become a free runner, and now I have this.

I'm going to rescale it and use it for racing car suspensions as soon as 1.1 arrives.

looks like a rift in time-space or somesuch

Yeah I had the same feeling. By the way, if I'm right, I might be able to build a motorized version as well.

ooohhh cool

You know me, I love mechanical engineering and creative ideas and this one fits the bill! Really cool stuff!

I love it!  I can't wait to see more!

The connection between the red steering knuckle and the lower control arm & track rod has ball joints. Not the most advanced construction available but relatively simple.

Can you make a centrifuge for G force testing?

I already made one ;-)

Hey man! So what movement does the modified IR bearing have? In the vid it seems to have the same amount of movement as a claw hinge.

That's because of the cockpits rotating around their own axis.

These are the axis of freedom in degrees:

X/Y/Z: 360.

I'll post an album soon how to assemble it.

I wont touch it man. Part mods ain't for me. You should contact the creator of IR and ask him to include your code though.

It's no code, just a trick ;-)

Either way it uses a mod part right?
