Look into some of the Formula SAE cars, which are built by engineering students, and run in autocross-type races. Your application will be different, but the weight would be similar. So you could probably do well by copying/adapting one of those chassis. I know some Formula SAE cars have used MTB shocks -- not forks, but rear ones. Matt O. |
