Well, maybe not exactly "Ackermann", but it has the same purpose and effect: the inner wheels turn more than the outer wheels, but only if the linkage that you currently have is between the front and rear wheels. In your current setup, it's the opposite, so the inner wheel turns less than the outer, it has the same effect as going straight but with wheels pointing inward. The tires will constantly slipping slightly when rolling, and that can greatly reduce the performance. However, according to my experience, the amount of "inwardness" in this case may not be an issue, maybe the play in the hubs compensate it.

Well, if you can't place it in the right orientation, better to leave it out in my opinion, and go for the simple parallel steering.

Hmm.... am I seeing it right and there is Ackermann steering geometry, but it's backwards? if so, I think your model will struggle in turns.

There's a big "LDD for my 8x8" writing with an image of the truck under his posts...

^^^^ with a 11L beam. Or if it's visual feature, then don't mind the gap.

Any chance of instructions? Maybe just photos when you disassemble it.

Take a look at Sheepo's Landrover's suspension, and how the universal joint is placed (in the review thread, it's explained). I don't know if that would actually help.

I love it! The colors, the shape, the building. And it's an alternative model.... I wanted to build something like this, you don't see too much models of RC models, I thought it would look cool in Lego. It does. How fast is it?

Are you planning to make brakes too?

I think this is your best so far.

I think it should be stable. Maybe I'm wrong, but placing the upper arm lower would actually increase instability. Now the three points define a big triangle that is parallel with the motion of the suspension and perpendicular to the driving direction. I see no "interesting motion" issues here. EDIT: maybe because the upper arm points to the opposite direction, there could be some interesting motions...

Um..... I have serious issues with two LAs lifting a much lighter boom. Have you tested that bed lifting yet?

The drawings are pretty cool anyway! I use MS paint every day for electric and pneumatic circuit design.... The best tool for... anything.

How did you make those drawings of the differential? Somehow things look off, or it's just my eyes? Anyway, I like the design, it is obviously stronger than the previous ones (2 small gears).

Haven't tested this:

Thanks for the info. I thought that most plastic materials as wood are likely to creep.

Not this instruction bullshitting again. I prefer the newer instruction, yet, i can build MOCs. Can I go megabluck myself?

What about creep? It's there even if you are under the proportional limit.

In my previous job I fixed and hacked some similar machines. What can it do? Does it have a full standing-up function? It would be quite awesome if it knew all the functions the real ones do. I thought about building MOCs like that, but I guess not many would admire them, and I'm only doin it for the fame of course

It would be pretty tricky to add a transmission and a handle in a F1 car (sequential gearbox operated from the steering wheel)

A non-working steering wheel is no problem, but not having any is a bit awkward. I can't recall any wheeled Technic vehicles without a steering wheel (okay, obviously the smallest ones don't have any)

Plus no steering wheel at all (not even a dummy wheel)

2-3 stud (when retracted) longer pneumatic cylinder and LA. And of course clutch gears, something that builders have been waiting for almost 20 years.

OFF: Is it possible to export from LDD to MLCad? It's pretty fast to build in LDD (I can build as fast aswith real pieces).
