The test would be more accurate if you've used sprockets with no teeth in the suspension. In this case, the teeth were caught in the treads, causing way too much vibration and sometimes even the kickback

As a bit of a tank enthusiast, I’m very impressed with how well these suspension types were implemented and demonstrated, but I do have a few suggestions that are also echoed by other commenters. Firstly, having the drive at the front of the tank causes slack in the section before the roadwheels, potentially causing problems and instabilities. Changing the drive to the rear of the tank would help with this. This was a historical problem encountered in WWII, specifically both the Americans with the Sherman and its predecessors as well as the Germans with their Panzer III, IV, Panthers, and Tigers (I and II), so it is an easy error to make. Speaking of German tanks, interleaved suspension would be interesting to explore, and comparing how it stands up to normal suspension. Secondly, as @k0lliak553 said, the roadwheels and the idler wheel (or tensioner wheel) should be straddling the center ridge on the tracks, like the return rollers are, rather than meshing with the tracks. This also causes a lot of instability in the tracks, and it should improve the performance over terrain Thirdly, a lower center of gravity would be helpful in lowering the amount of motion the suspension would undergo from the momentum of the turret, improving the ride of the suspension. Another point would be to increase the amount of roadwheels by making smaller versions of the suspension types or a longer tank, comparing a setup like the British Churchill with a ton of small roadwheels to something like the Soviet T-34 with fewer roadwheels. Either way, it is still interesting comparing each type of suspension, from HVSS to VVSS/Christie suspension, and modern torsion bar suspension, and I’m sorry if I come off as a bit pretentious or annoying, I just like tanks and it’s 3am so I’m tired lol. I just think that it could be taken to an even more interesting and in depth exploration with a bit of research and comparing historical concepts, as there is plenty of information surrounding WWII tanks, and it can show the sheer speed of advancement that happened over that 5 year period and beyond. Alright now my yap sesh is over, and imma go sleep lol.
Maybe make the hull longer and turret smaller. It just looks really goofy. I honestly would love to see interleaved suspension and could be better than the suspension types he used. Should probably widen the tank tracks for better stability and better off-road performance.
@@LettuceGaymingUSSR has mostly flat terrain, so it wouldn’t be as big of a problem. Also Christie suspension allows much higher top speed and acceleration, which deemed quite important for fighting on the flat steppes. But USSR still transitioned to torsion bars, because Christie suspension eats a lot of internal volume, extremely painful for maintenance and has much stricter weight limit (T-34 was about as heavy as suspension allowed). Torsion bars are just much better for tank use.
@@LettuceGaymingThe Americans DID actually try to get it, they just found the designer to be such an asshole that they couldn’t work together and had to find alternatives
M night shyamalan plot twist: All of our earthly wars are just the doing of this master builders imagination. While they are the architect of our doom, all we see is the wonderful contraptions. Let us give them more ideas, such that our ultimate demise be both more ironic as well as delightful.
One inconsistency i would like to point out is the different sized sprockets used, as larger wheels will always provide a smoother ride regardless of suspension. When i built my flamethrower tank (butane canisters) i played with a few suspension types. The best one i used was a hybrid of torsion bars and the horizontal but with considerable sag when the machines weight was exerted on them. Tortion bars provided the spring and every set of 2 wheels could also 'rock' in opposing directions. The softer force made the whole ride smoother and less bouncy. Plus when the weight lifted off a wheel it had room to move down with the track but still provided some support while the rest of the weight is being soaked up by the neighbouring wheels. I also learned that a higher amount of small wheels is better than fewer large wheels. That way changes in terrain have less effect on the whole suspension as a collective because it is spread out. The best way to imagine it is if a wheel were to break off, which system would shrug it off like nothing happened. Sorry if im going on a bit of a tangent here. Track suspension has fascinated me since i was a kid :)
The first suspension type tested is closest to HVSS (Horizontal Volute Suspension) and the Christie suspension is comparable to a VVSS setup (Vertical Volute Suspension). VVSS was used on most M4 Sherman tanks during WW2 but was replaced with HVSS on the "E8" (sometimes called Easy Eight) Sherman variants, along with wider tracks, due to the improved ride quality of horizontal springs; which also seemed to be the outcome of the testing in the video!
The testing machine is not a good way to test suspensions when turning, because they aren't actually putting any sideways resistance on the tracks. You have to drive them on a solid surface for that so that you actually 'pull' the track sideways to test the suspension.

Okay, I have been watching these for over a year, and they have become a lot more entertaining with your personal flair sprinkled in. Sure the technical aspect is wonderful, but this video comes across more polished somehow. Sweet tank!
With the Christie suspension, using stronger springs as well as toothless wheels would help smoothen a lot. Some extra mass may help too, specifically towards the bottom of the tank in order to keep better balance
As someone who likes tanks I'm glad you made this video, really helps with understanding the different types of suspension. (I also like LEGO's and what you make is really cool)
HE LISTENED TO MY IDEA!!!!!!!!!!!❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤ I wrote a comment on the motorcycle suspension test to try lego tank suspension 2 YEARS AGO and they actually listened!!!!!!! Thank youuuu!!!❤❤❤❤❤
i think the extra turret tests were unnecessary since it doesnt shift the center of mass all too much, and when the tank is held in place, the center of mass has even less of an effect without the effect of stored inertial movement.
That is a good point! I didn't notice as much of a change as I thought I would, though it does place extra weight over one side of the tank or the other, stressing the suspension more
Great LEGO engineering, well done, Sir! My two cents: 1) Why bother with a mechanical flexible power transfer solution (7:30) for a pure suspension test if there is a hard connection between the vehicle and the test rig via the front stabilizer (8:45)? Its design is clever, so props to you. Nevertheless, from what I am seeing in the video, the connectors are hardly allowed to do their job at any speed (no travel in the system). Friction between the chains of the rig and the vehicle's chains should be sufficient to keep them moving once the vehicle's motor and gearbox are disconnected from its tracks. You still want them inside for their added weight though. 2) Try using sprockets with no teeth everywhere in the tank except for the powered ones. It makes the ride much smoother due to lower friction and thus reduces the wear and tear of the chains. 3) I really enjoyed seeing what difference the various suspension types made.
"Whaddaya mean we can't run the third test? This doesn't make sense unless we test all the alternatives." "Apologies sir, the entire turret crew of the first test are in the hospital with moderate to severe brain damage." "Well, that's what the replacement crew is for. Did you--" "Their funerals are tomorrow, sir."
One kind of glaring issue with all of these mock suspension test videos is the fact that the suspension is almost always way too stiff for the actual vehicle weight. Your suspension is supposed to be partially compressed when sitting at standstill but all of the suspensions in this video are completely uncompressed until an obstacle is encountered, in which the vehicle needs to be significantly lifted by the obstacle before the road wheels suspension begins to work. Loading the vehicle with weights such that the suspension is ~10-15% compressed when just sitting still would have a massive effect on how smooth it is to ride over obstacles.
I'd like to see how a Christie suspension would fare being made out of Lego. With a typical drive sprocket and one with an inverse drive, examples include Cromwell having a drive sprocket and the T-34, having the inverse system.
@@BrickMachinesChannel Or perhaps you could try the coiled spring suspension such as on the Churchill or the Horstmann suspension seen on the Valentine.
Wouldn't the weapon stability be a better judging criterion for each suspension? Stabilizing the weapon while moving is the main function of the suspension of a tank
Linking the test bench mecanically to the tank isn't a good idea as soon as you add bumps. The bumps add distance which isn't taken into account by the mechanical link. so your chains are travelling a longer distance that the bench (according to the mechanical link). Resulting in a non sychronisation and the mechanical link actually making the process worse.
I love lego my whole life. I love erector sets my whole life. But i never got into lego technic. This video has me seriously reconsidering it. Never too late!
I don't understand why he put the turret turning as part of the test I know the barrel of the gun being on one side rather than directly in the middle might effect weight distribution on the suspension but the Lego is light enough where it at least looked like and shouldn't matter in the tests kinda feel like it was just there to elongate the video but please do tell me if I am wrong or if you have a different opinion or theory on why he put it in the tests.
I am using a mix of the first two in my MOCs...vertically spring suspension, while 2 sprockets horizontally connected...But i dont have it horizontally spring suspended...And I should also mention, that my suspensions are smaller, but i have more of them...
Should use a DualShock 4 or dualsense controller use it’s gyroscope to control the turret (akin to an analog stick) for it’s own horizontal rotation and elevation/depression of the gun
How about using a pair of motorcycle wheels with the middle of track between them (piece 88517c01) as road wheels? Bigger wheels usually make terrain capabilities better
i think if you included a flywheel somewhere in the test bed it would better simulate the momentum of the tank as it moves over the terrain, and you wouldnt see the stop/start motion of the wheels and treads
Just with how it's built, it does appear that the mock tank is very top heavy, that definitely affects it a fair amount. I think the turret mount might also need to be a bit more rigid
There isn't nearly enough weight on the torsion bars for them to do any actual damping, and if you add that weight, those plastic axles are going to plastically deform. For tanks, the closer you get to real size, the more accurate results you will get. (Hint hint wink wink)
Maybe some extra weight on the chassis of the tank could reduce the vibrations, because the more massive the object, the more inertia it has and the more it resists to being moved.
Granted my opinion doesn't matter, but I feel because of the weight of the turret versus how light weigh the hull is by comparison, there will be an imbalance of some kind when you traverse the turret.
При синхронизации скорости дорожного полотна и скорости траков танка не учтён один факт: При проезде препядствий, скорость траков танка должна увеличиваться, так как расстояние котрое они проезжают увеличиваются из-за криволинейности. В замедленной съёмке видно, что при проезде припядствий, трак танка замедляется и препядствия проскальзывают под ними. Единственное что можно порекомендовать - это сделать резиновое покрытие дороги, для лучшего сцепления, а траки танка пусть крутятся свободно.

pybricks cost 79$ CAD or you have to learn script
You made a giant suspension simulator instead of sticking the bumps onto the wheel tracks to simulate bumps basically in the exact same way
Isn't the VVSS suspension
structure poor in performance?
If you used HVSS instead of VVSS,
it would have worked a little more smoothly.
How about using a pair of motorcycle wheels with the middle of track between them (piece 88517c01) as road wheels? Bigger wheels usually make terrain capabilities better
i think if you included a flywheel somewhere in the test bed it would better simulate the momentum of the tank as it moves over the terrain, and you wouldnt see the stop/start motion of the wheels and treads
Great idea! I think more powerful motors or batteries would also help
the slow motion when it’s moving reminds me so much of setting the speed low on my clunky tank made in besiege
Just with how it's built, it does appear that the mock tank is very top heavy, that definitely affects it a fair amount. I think the turret mount might also need to be a bit more rigid
PLEASE ADD A STABILIZER FOR TH TANK AND TRY TO SHOOT SOMETHING WHILE GOING ACROSS MULTIPLE OBSTACLES

I think making the turrret smaller, or at leeast shorter would help, as well as putting a counter weight on the side opposite the barrel.
Maybe some extra weight on the chassis of the tank could reduce the vibrations, because the more massive the object, the more inertia it has and the more it resists to being moved.
Granted my opinion doesn't matter, but I feel because of the weight of the turret versus how light weigh the hull is by comparison, there will be an imbalance of some kind when you traverse the turret.
You've out done yourself B.M. I really hope you can continue puting out bangers. Make a life size tank for me 😆
All difficult things have their origin in that which is easy, and great things in that which is small.
problem of this tank is that its point of gravity is too high and the tracks have small lenght of contacts on the ground, but still nice experiment!
I think the track machine needs to be a bit more powerful, it's really struggling

При синхронизации скорости дорожного полотна и скорости траков танка не учтён один факт: При проезде препядствий, скорость траков танка должна увеличиваться, так как расстояние котрое они проезжают увеличиваются из-за криволинейности. В замедленной съёмке видно, что при проезде припядствий, трак танка замедляется и препядствия проскальзывают под ними. Единственное что можно порекомендовать - это сделать резиновое покрытие дороги, для лучшего сцепления, а траки танка пусть крутятся свободно.
