I have been stalking the forum for quit a while and I have build a few of my own moc's, but this is the first model I want to share.

After reading this great thread:

And remembering this fun mechanics:

I wanted to make a shorter model that looked like a dog with only four legs and which could walk and turn with only a single motor. In the end I couldn't get any other legs to work with only one motor. Either the legs wouldn't stabilize the model well enough or there would be so much resistance in them so that the single motor wouldn't be able to run them both.

In the end I used Isogawas legs and just made a slightly shorter insect model that can run and turn with a single motor.

Thanks to Fourlords for his LLD that helped me understand Isogawas model.

Thanks for the good welcome!

I would really like to make a LLD of the model, but the model is already disassempled. My wife complained that I had given up to soon on the legs and that the motor wasn't stabilized enough. I tried to defend my creation by pointing out how hard is to stabilized an M-motor in such a construct. . . Long story short: I am now rebuilding it from scratch with an L-motor instead and I will try and make an LLD of that model when it is finished.
