JGW3000 Posted March 5, 2015 Posted March 5, 2015 I am looking at the front axle of the 8110 Unimog - seems like it is overdesigned, in terms of excessive reinforcements. Here are some recolored LDD screenshots - the black parts are what I would expect and typically find in most MOCs. The red seems excessive, and the yellow even more so. Are these red and yellow parts really needed? My intent is to build something similar, with the Servo motor for steering and an XL motor for power, but space may be tight and I rather not have unnecessary elements. Quote
Nalyd997 Posted March 5, 2015 Posted March 5, 2015 I guess they just don't want it to fall apart. It also has to handle bein played with by kids as well Quote
dougstar Posted March 5, 2015 Posted March 5, 2015 Well not sure if the kids will have much fun with that front axle, it steers like an ox wagon! The standard axle is great with servo. Dose not take much to put one in Quote
Lipko Posted March 5, 2015 Posted March 5, 2015 Doubling everything reduces backlash. With the steering pivot so outside of the wheels, the wheels would "sprawl" when pushed around. I guess Quote
