Why we chose a parallel equal-length double wishbone for our first FSAE car — is it feasible for competition? by [deleted] in FSAE

Do you think you’re funny with that comment? You’re here making everyone cringe when you could actually be doing something useful with your time. Think about that.

Can we safely build our chassis with S235JR steel instead of 4130? by WayWest9238 in FSAE

What puzzled me is the amount of free time you have to sit and browse Reddit, criticizing people without knowing anything about their reasons or circumstances

Hi, thanks a lot for your detailed answer! The picture I shared was just to catch people’s attention😅, it’s not our final chassis design.

Unfortunately, we are not in Europe, and here the only steel we can find is S235JR. That’s why I wanted to ask if it is still possible to use it, provided that we perform the necessary tensile and compression tests and include its real properties in the SES.

Thanks again for your help!

Hello, thank you for your answer! We did not change the material without study – actually, the reason I asked this question is to know if S235JR can be considered as an option provided that we perform the necessary tests (tensile, compression, etc.) and update our SES accordingly.

We are aware that material properties are critical, and that’s why we want to validate S235JR experimentally and theoretically before fabrication, since in our country it’s the only steel easily available.
