[Help] Axle with Positive Caster/Camber

[Leonardo da Bricki]

I know you can do axles with positive caster and camber, but I wanted to know if it was possible to make a driven axle with positive caster and/or camber angle. I have made multiple attempts but cannot seem to make it work. Thanks for your help!

First give us more info, what kind of suspension you want? Independent or solid axle? Also what wheel size? And finally what kind of application/torque, you need a powerfull offroad axle, or a compact fast one?

Sorry, I should have been more descriptive, so here are some more specifics: independent suspension, driven and steered, for a crawler using the 44772 wheels.

I was sitting in my workspace_(bedroom) yesterday, just messing around with parts, and I found a solution. It's a little stubborn at times, but it works reasonably well.

I made this one some years ago and posted it here in the axle thread, maybe you can look over there for inspiration.

it has double wishbone setup, caster, kingpin inclination, ackermann steering, i think it had some negative camber and it's driven.

Backside is that you have only one stud axle for the wheels

happy building :)

My solution has the same problem: one stud axle for the wheel. Thanks for the design, I forgot about the axle thread, so I'll go look at that.
