(...) Now, I have a question about the "logic" behind walking sideways. When SSClagorpion is done walking sideways, and it starts walking forward, will the legs all be in the same position in/out, or will 1/2 be in, while 1/2 are out? Assuming the (...) (20 years ago, 4-May-04, to lugnet.technic)

Has anyone modified a universal joint? Was your modified part successful? I find that the uni joints are too long for certain train applications. I propose to take a broken uni joint (the axle holding parts break at the ends), and do the following (...) (20 years ago, 4-May-04, to lugnet.technic, lugnet.trains)
