    The more gears, the more backlash. If you've got a servo, you can mount it directly on the axle. (You could do the same with any other motor but would then need to gear down, leading to more complexity and backlash).

    Sure! I uploaded some pictures here. It's not a good mod, though - I just wanted to see what the vehicle'd look like and didn't bother re-engineering the axles to reduce track width or improve turning radius.

    With portal axles, Claas tyres and no stickers.

    Yup, easily the worst flagship set since 2004 and the B-model is even worse. Clap clap, TLG.

    Thanks mate! I should be able to replicate it myself as soon as I have access to my toolbox.

    Ah, close to the area of my beloved Taurasi and Falanghina! Cheers, keep up the good work!

    It's a good start. I like the locking outriggers; not too keen on the boom with non-Lego elements (tape) but I think it's due to lack of parts rather than lack of skill. Keep on building and don't be afraid of making mistakes - even the best builders make them. As long as you learn from them, it's fine. Also try to learn as much as you can from others' MOCs and WIPs.

    Looks good. Any chance of a few shots with Claas tyres? (OT 1: Did you take the winter pics in Trentino?) (OT 2: "Camion carino. Il raggio di giro non sembra molto buono ma funziona a livello mondiale." - machine translation is always so hilarious )

    I've tested it on a ballast-loaded (3.5 kg total) 6x6 chassis. The turning radius, as expected, is a bit disappointing - but that's to be expected with CV joints. Other than that, it handles great and can take quite a pounding.

    Hi @MangaNOID, I built this axle for a truck I'm working on. It's partly inspired by your work and @Oliver 79's yellow truck. It features portal hub reduction without portal hubs (if that makes any sense ), limited tyre scrub, Ackermann steering and multilink suspension. There's plenty of room for improvement, so maybe you can use it as a starting point to come up with your own, much better axle (sorry about the atrocious pics).

    @JDL1967 Great work, mate! Thanks for sharing your idea and the how-to pictorial. This could be great for a ton of applications, such as brakes. (I know most purists are going to frown at this but the way I see it, Jesse's idea is a legitimate replacement for a discontinued Lego part.)

    That front axle is awesome! Have you had the chance to test it in real life?

    Wishing you a speedy recovery, mate. Looking forward to good news from you and to more epic building chronicles.

    CV joints and tight turning circles just don't mesh If your priority is minimising scrub radius with portal axles then you can use Nicjasno's solution: I built it and it works pretty well - the only downside is the limited steering lock. Since you've got more width to work with, maybe you can adjust it to use U-joints and thus get tighter steering.

    Like you would on any other website. Depending on where you want the order shipped to, there may be restrictions and/or additional charges.

    You can replace the rear turntable with a frictionless pin to save space. Only the front one is necessary since it relieves the drivetrain of any coaxial load.

    Amazon.de has it at €104 now.

    Just threw this together- hope it helps.

    I think JDL1967 has had the right idea. There's also this alternative but I wouldn't count on it for heavy loads:

    Hybrid.

    You can probably work in a pendular solution. If you use a couple of small turntables you should be able to preserve the model's robustness.

    Not sure this is what you're looking for but have a look here (around mid-way through the video): (Note: this is NOT my work! The user is active on FB's Lego Technic page; no idea whether he's on EB as well.)

    Without wheels. It should match this rear axle (belly shot!):
