__________________________ Posted March 2, 2015 Posted March 2, 2015 Hello, I don't need a differential, I just need a compact steered axle with good steering geometry (minimum force to turn the wheels) with no bump steer and to be around 13 studs wide. (drive is optional.) I've been searching for good examples. However, most axles like this are built at a larger scale, it seems. any ideas? Quote

TheNextLegoDesinger Posted March 3, 2015 Posted March 3, 2015 nice but that's only 9 studs wide Quote

Nalyd997 Posted March 4, 2015 Posted March 4, 2015 @ZBLJ How well does that 7 long gear rack react with the bevel gear? Is there much force? Quote

Zerobricks Posted March 4, 2015 Posted March 4, 2015 @ZBLJ How well does that 7 long gear rack react with the bevel gear? Is there much force? It works fine, but there is a white clucth gear preventing the gear from clicking. Its not meant for some extreme steering forces. Quote
fourlord Posted March 5, 2015 Posted March 5, 2015 (edited) Here you go, accurate Ackermann steering geometry. LDD file included, fake servo motor easily removable by selecting it from group menu. Have fun! sample.lxf Edited March 5, 2015 by fourlord Quote
