These didnt really rotate much either, but the bush fitted nicely in the centre of the tracks keeping them nicely aligned. Of course mine wasn't motorised... (...) (...)

(...) Never tried that one - nice space saving idea. What I tried some time ago was to use plates with the studs on the side so that the track runs over the edge of it.

  Re: Pneumatic Quadraped 242
 
(...) snip (...) I started working on articulated head and tail. Quad242 has a very large footprint, and walks inefficiently. One of the reasons for large feet is center of gravity. The center of gravity on Quad242 is just a little behind the center (...) (21 years ago, 1-Dec-03, to lugnet.technic, lugnet.build, lugnet.robotics, FTX)
