I can sort of buy this at the upper end. But a small car with 4 relatively small motors with normal tyres v a range rover with run flat tyres and massive disc brakes?
- jacquesm 3y agoIn a small car it could work, but you'd be very much limited in power and weight. See upthread links and subsequent updates https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=38485097 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=38485097. Note that more unsprung weight has other effects as well, such as poor handling because the wheel bounces higher and so will be out of contact with the road for a longer time when it encounters an obstacle. If you think of the weight of the wheel as the weight on a pendulum it is easy to see why that would affect the period of the swing.
