1/16...1/14 scale air suspension

[Grainfarmer]

Hi togehter!

I just found something new on the modelfair at Dortmund today:
http://www.stehr-modellbau.de/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=40_49&products_id=610

...Drive axles with a working air suspension system. The air pressure can be produced by a small electric compressor. The drive axles have a transmission ratio of 5:1, realized with a helical gear.

regards
Frank

Hi Frank, That's a neat airride suspension, modified version of 8 bag Kenworth airride. Clever engineering on there part.
Can you find out anymore detail's on this transmission? http://www.stehr-modellbau.de/index.php?main_page=index&cPath=5&sort=20a&language=de It's a nice setup.
Thank's for sharing this!
Cheer's, Neil.

Pretty amazing, but I only see mechanical drawings of the set-up, and no actual parts. I'm lost with these German sites!
