... Good question! Actually I have not. The reason is that it is impossible in Juice to model "brakes" properly. Friction and all that is OK, but if you want...
... braking ... OK, I've done it again - yet another video (two in fact) - check my folder "Frank's stuff". So it can be done. Made it with front wheel...
... Steering in further when the vehicle slows is perfectly natural for FTC, as for a given tilt angle, cornering radius depends on velocity squared. Going...
... Re: the understeer when braking, I wonder what effect more balanced braking would have, i.e. with approximately equal rear braking, and also if your Juice...
... The video shows what happens when the drag force from the front contact patch dissapears/reduces because of traction loss.... not increases due to...

So.... if you shift the brake bias to the rear of the vehicle you get this spectacular oversteer slide around the cone. You tilt the vehicle in then hit the...
... but in truth it is better. The opposite lock that is required my a motorcar driver in an oversteer... is automatic in FTC. I get so used to comparing it...
Ross, I think that the problem would be if the driver reacted to the understeeer like in a conventional vehicle, cornering harder, it would tilt even more the...
... The model in the video is FWD and I can lock the wheels simply by stopping the motor. Not with the joystick because that may not return exactly to zero,...
Hi all, I up loaded a new photo in 1F2R, under "photos". The photo is of the old front tire and the new front tire on my 1F2R trike. Because of the detrimental...
... Phillip here Don..... you must have missed my post a long time ago. I did JUICE a wide tire on your system and I reported to you that I noticed it WAS...
Hello again list, I just noticed that the simulations some of you are doing using Juice (have not used it, but it says it uses ODE) are using discs (cylinders...
Hello everyone, I see that the use of Juice (& by proxy ODE) seems to be popular with this group for doing simulations. I have a question - have any of you...
Guys, haven't posted on here in a while. Been busy with other projects. BTW, I should have a 'Maurer' trike made by this fall. Should be interesting to...
Juice does not work too good for me. Maybe it is because it lacks an intuitive approach. Is the system that you propose simpler to use? What do you do. Sell it...
Hi Phillip, thanks, ya the tire contact patch must be self centering and controlling the path of the car. With the old tire there was a lot of camber change...
Hi Eric, The tires on most all of the simulations are cylinders with a small width (height) to try to approximate the contact patch width of a motorcycle style...
Eric, A few members in the group tried a couple other simulators, but I think what drove Juice to the top was two things. Price (free) and relative simplicity...
... and myself am not convinced that I need "accuracy" from a simulator... not even sure its a "good thing" to expect such a thing. We have built real...
(Sidenote: My posts seem to take a LOOONG time to show up...? I posted my previous e-mails 2 days ago and they didn't show up in my inbox until this ...
Hello Phillip, I definitely concur that there is NO substitute for a real, honest-to-god functional prototype. Still, I think simulation has it's place in the...
Aaron: Thanks for taking the time to explain to a newbie the more detailed info regarding the use of Juice by people on this list. I am glad to hear that ...
... Not sure what you refer to: If you mean the "Bike into trike" thing, I have never seen that before and it certainly is not my idea. As for Maurer's trike,...
I am sure to be the poorest guy in this list, but I agree. Where do I have to pay the $ 30? For a guy hat does not have the money nor the health necessary to ...
Eric, Re: your messages taking a long time to post. Check the group web page and see if your message is posted there if it doesn't show up in e-mail quickly....
Hi Eric, thanks for your comments on Juice! As others have already pointed out, it is not perfect, and it would be fantastic to have something better - at no...
