four wheel weight transfer

Mine is on carpet, which makes it look as though all legs are carrying equal weight. But, I suppose this is a bit like having suspension. Yes, I see now - a proper model of suspension is what is needed to model weight transfer - only, this is a fair bit more complicated than I anticipated. It seems to me that the chassis must actually be able to pitch and roll which means that the suspension is not fixed at 90 degrees to the chassis. Is this right? In any case, I am not going to try to model this for now. It's for a 2d game - so all that detail would be wasted. But isn't there an aproximate way of working out weight transfer from the tyre forces? On the other hand, perhaps it's not worth doing at all if not done properly... Ruben |
