Make Ackermann Great Again!

[Attika]

Hello good people of Eurobricks,

I came out of the depth of my offline existence to share an idea.

First a disclaimer: It is possible that what you see here is not new, I'm just being a lazy person, did not really dig up the internet to find out before I posted the video and wrote this topic.

So as many times, inspiration came from the RC industry, where I discovered a rocker based mechanism being used to create ackermann geometry. The established method which we (I) used to use in our builds (based on wheelhub extension) I find, to put it mildly, flawed.

In my case, I like to build with offset rims (defender and 1:8 supercar ones). Unfortunetelly this combo really limits the options how to apply afformentioned method. Hence I've started to chew that rocker based idea and to my pleasure it has shaped to a presentable concept that might be useful in future builds of ours. 

As one video can say more than a thousand words, let me link it below and if there is any question remains, I'm obliged to discuss it below.

Yours sincerely.

Glad to see you back. First, video of "Trial Trucktrial", and now some in-depth look of certain topic. It is true that a lot of things we are "borrowing" from RC theme, but it is not like those are getting out of the blue.

Thanks for sharing, and I hope you will keep up with continuity of your effort both on Eurobricks and your YouTube channel!
