Phoxtane Posted August 30, 2012 Posted August 30, 2012 I've had hardly any luck finding a steering module that offers steered-wheel drive and Ackermann geometries. I tried building one myself, but I now see why there aren't hardly any. It gets complicated fast... So, has anyone seen/used/designed a steering module with these abilities? Quote
AndyCW Posted August 30, 2012 Posted August 30, 2012 (edited) The 8880 hubs have ackerman capabilities and you can place the the upper control arms at an angle to provide other needed automotive geometries such as caster, toe in, and camber change with suspension cycle. Here are some quick pics from something I put together. Edited August 30, 2012 by AndyCW Quote

Hi, Try looking at sheepo's solutions. His are complex and very compact and nice looking (and functional of course) http://www.sheepo.es/ Cheers Quote
