Walking Beam Suspension
At least one of my leaf springs would break every meet and it was getting old waiting for replacements to show up.
Soooo, I designed a replacement that would not break.
The Cons
If you're interested in maximum articulation, stick with the metal leaves. The walking beam articulates fine for my tastes (see videos), but there is no longer any "spring".
The Pros
These will not break and still provide some level of articulation. I'd rather not get a "saggy" axle at a meet. Spares of the stock springs are time consuming to obtain.
Easy print, no supports needed.
