Independent front suspension

The user, Fire-Pro, is seeking advice on designing a 1:8 scale LEGO Technic MOC (My Own Creation) car with independent front suspension. They are particularly interested in achieving a negative toe angle, similar to that seen in Formula 1 cars, while still maintaining a good maximum steering angle. The user is also considering using the Powered Up app for RC control and is using a suspension model inspired by the Lamborghini Sián FKP 37 (set 42115).

Fire-Pro is specifically asking about the feasibility of achieving a negative toe angle, where the front wheels point outwards. They are also considering using a 13-stud long steering rack instead of the standard 7-stud long rack. The user is also contemplating a positive rake, where the rear of the car sits higher than the front, and is concerned about the potential negative caster angle this might create. They are aiming to use only official LEGO parts in their build.

The user's goal is to create a realistic and functional suspension system for their MOC car. They are looking for guidance on how to implement these specific design features using LEGO Technic elements. The post indicates a desire for assistance with both the toe angle and the potential impact of the rake on the car's handling characteristics.

For anyone building complex LEGO Technic models, having a good selection of brick separator tools can be invaluable for making adjustments and corrections during the build process.
