07jkearney Posted October 2, 2012 Posted October 2, 2012 (edited) I have been working on this for the last few days as I am interested in the steering and drive system of dodgems; requiring one or two pivoted and driven wheels at the front of the chassis, below is my solution to this, using a turntable: http://www.brickshelf.com/gallery/07jkearney/Bumper-Car/sam_0417.jpg And the top view, showing the knob wheels used for the drive: http://www.brickshelf.com/gallery/07jkearney/Bumper-Car/sam_0414.jpg The two clearly visible Medium motors are for drive, and the obscured topmost one steers the wheels via a worm gear. Finally, here is a photo of the car as it is now, with bodywork almost completed: http://www.brickshelf.com/gallery/07jkearney/Bumper-Car/sam_0419.jpg Please comment with questions and suggestions. More (smaller) pictures to come. Edited October 2, 2012 by Big Cam Removed image tags on oversize images Quote
