Sounds like a good idea, yes. In fact, it is already used in Ralph
Muha's camcarts at:

This is a site worth viewing!
And if you're into Technic LEGO, you may want to look at the rest of my
site, at
http://www.math.uio.no/~fredrigl/technic/
There are mostly Technic vehicles there.
I find that vehicles are most rewarding to build in Technic LEGO, but I
am getting a bit bored with them. I was thinking of other things to
make the other day, but I couldn't come up with much. With vehicles, it
is easy to make realistic working functions, and they are playable too!
Have you got any ideas?
