    I can even duct tape or glue my bumper and it still be a Ford. But with legos it's considered bad to glue parts together. Or am I missing something?

    I know that :) And yet some probability is always there.

    I'm also wondering what TLG might pull off now if they won't like "The Boss" for some reason like they did with tachikoma by mahjqa on cuusoo.

    Every tracked vehicle with reasonable width should't have any problems with turning speed.

    I almost see that grey dust...

    Somebody (legomuppet9) asked me to publish compact uniknick steering/articulation part (based on Mbmc design published in this post). Well, here you go. It's still untested in a finished truck, but no gear cracks or clumsiness under manually applied stress. Being a bit lazy now to build a truck around it, need inspiration. Obviously, the intended use of this center part is to connect battery and cab to the inner half of the turntable opposite to the steering motor (the front one) and to connect powered axles to outer (gray) halves of the front and rear turntables. P. S.: brickshelf folder with high-res here.

    Totally agree, I even wrote that myself in my comment (below the picture) BTW, I created a very compact version of this steering/articulation part, is anyone interested? Or should I build a truck around it first? UPD: added a post about it.

    The funny thing about this design is that it's more complicated than the original uniknick design where the cab with the engine is fixed relative to the front axle (it can be clearly seen on googled pictures of uniknick). I even found a replica of this design on brickshelf: But sure adding a mechanism keeping the cab with the heavy battery box only at only half the angle of the axles is helping weight distribution.

    You can click the YouKu logo (or this link) to open video in new tab. This chinese video hosting is slow, but YouTube is banned in their country :(

    I really like that studded build technique is still resulting in very modern looking MOCs.

    What about the hailfire droid wheels?

    By the way, the distance between turning point and the centre of wheel is called scrub radius.

    Those Rahkshi chest sections are real jewels. As well as the Visorak torsos

    I know. That's why I provided thumbnails. OK, the originals should be downsized too. Actually, it's weird that brickshelf does't resize them on the fly to make the size of displayed version reasonable.

    Alright, the brickshelf folder with high-res pictures is now public.

    I've rebuilt it just now and added a REALLY of it rolling (just to demonstrate the steering abilities).

    Raising the bar is a good thing if you have enough self-confidence :)

    It's also more efficient.

    @Mbmc it's not my first MOC, just something I want to share (because I'm rater picky about my stuff and also I do a lot of unfinished MOCs). The steering isn't fast because: It has 3:1 reduction. It is driven directly by wire without any battery power: on the other side there is another 71427 motor with a 2994 wheel connected to it and used as generator. It allows for very precise manual control. I can take a picture of my typical wired remote for wheeled vehicles on motors in 71427 form-factor this evening.

    @DLuders thank you! I'm thinking of re-building it (after 3 years). But now I have a lot of ball joints, so a bionicle-style rider can be added ('cause the scale is too large for just a technic figure). Also I'm struggling with a trial truck which has an interesting front steering setup, but seems that I have to buy shock absorbers with larger travel 'cause my mechanical ways (lever systems) of increasing 6.5 shocks travel are a bit clumsy for now. @Lost_In_Noise, absolutely, but not in balance like a real one, but just standing on the solid ground on a single wide tire. Also, very low ground clearance and low center of gravity help.

    Hello EB! This is my first post (after following this Theme on EB for a while) as an adult technic builder slowly overtaking my LEGO dark ages. While mastering studdless techniques I understood that it might take a while before I create something notable so I decided to suppress my patience and present a simple studded build from the past. Why? Just because it has some style. Features: working wired remote steering (I used another motor with an attached wheel for precise manual steering) working wired remote drive ("belt" driven RWD, just as an average motorcycle must have) Unfortunately, I have no video of it, but sure it can drive on even floor thanks to very wide rear tire. Steering is also manageable, but the turning radius is very big. All pictures are available in high-res in my brickshelf folder.
