Behavior of a moving wheel vehicle is directly related to the shape and parameters of its suspension. To demonstrate the dynamics of a road vehicle, we created a scaled-down model of the vehicle with a possibility of choosing between two different front independent suspensions and two rear rigid axle suspensions with variable parameters. In addition, the model has the option of changing the wheelbase dimension by choosing the chassis profiles in the making the model. Most of the elements used in the suspension system are standard elements or parts available on the market. Some of the elements in our model we acquired from radio controlled cars. For better understanding and easier representation of our design, we created it in the 3D modeling software. With this model we have an overview on the positions of vehicle's subsystems to prevent collisions between them and to adjust the parameters inside certain limits. From the selected elements, we prepared the drawings and assembled the model.
