8466 4 wheel steering?

Hello

I just got the 8466 4x4 car and of course had to build it immidiatly.
The car has four wheel drive and uses the powerpuller wheels as we all have
seen on the pictures.

The front wheels aar driven and steered through one part, the rear wheels
are also driven trough the same parts. It should be possible to make it 4
wheel steering...
These parts are connected to the wheels with 3 pegs for the 3 holes in the
powerpuller wheels. I think the holes are the same as in the wedge-belt
wheels (part number 4185) but I have not checked that yet. So to connect an
onther type of wheel to this steering part you need two of these...

BTW driveing this car with a motor will use a lot of gears since there are
not many rpm differences between the engine and the wheels. (the gear ratios
are almost one to one, except for the 5 speed gear box)

Has anybody else already done something with this car?

greetings from the Netherlands

I recently built mine and have been wondering about adding a motor too. I've thought of adding the motor unit found on the 8279/5121 but it looks as if it would mean removing the external steering wheel and column outside the cab and readjusting the (...)
