Tommy Styrvoky Posted July 22, 2014 Posted July 22, 2014 (edited) I'm planning to build a M1070 HET and for the front and rear wheels need to be steered as well as driven, the front too. The axles will be 12 studs long and will have 52x26 wheels on them and all 8 axles will be driven by a Xl motor. is this possible to accomplish ? Edited July 28, 2014 by Jim Added image Quote
Zerobricks Posted July 22, 2014 Posted July 22, 2014 My mini 9398 and 14999 with 56x26 had a total axle width of 15 studs... Quote
legomuppet9 Posted July 22, 2014 Posted July 22, 2014 (edited) well the wheels are ~3 studs wide, each. so that'd mean you'd only have 6 studs to play with, I hope you don't want diffs seriously though, no I don't think it's possible or at least not for someone with my talent Edit: with the wheels this is 16 studs...

Tommy Styrvoky Posted July 22, 2014 Author Posted July 22, 2014 Yeah I have some thoughts but for sure it won't be possible with u joints. Quote
Rockbrick Posted July 22, 2014 Posted July 22, 2014 (edited) something similar to Jeka Jackson's Commanche axles but pendular - perhaps using the CV joints instead of U-joints may save a couple of studs and you could do one 13 studs wide perhaps Like this thread: (and it even has a diff) http://www.eurobrick...showtopic=83167 Edited July 22, 2014 by Rockbrick Quote
Black-Build Posted July 22, 2014 Posted July 22, 2014 Maybe something similar to Sheepo's mini Trial truck Astra? Quote
Tommy Styrvoky Posted July 22, 2014 Author Posted July 22, 2014 Maybe something similar to Sheepo's mini Trial truck Astra? thats what i was thinking on doing, except the only problem is the suspension and driveline something similar to Jeka Jackson's Commanche axles but pendular - perhaps using the CV joints instead of U-joints may save a couple of studs and you could do one 13 studs wide perhaps Like this thread: (and it even has a diff) http://www.eurobrick...showtopic=83167 don't have any cv joints...

DrJB Posted July 28, 2014 Posted July 28, 2014 Not sure many on here realize this but, since the introduction of the new differential, technic frames (5x7 and 5x11), and cardan coupler, all vehicle have now an odd stud width (11,13,15,17 ... ) etc. Even widths (12, as in this thread) might be a bit difficult to achieve.
