There's a couple of problems with that technique: The clutch gear has a lot of inherent backlash, which will make the steering not very responsive you have to make sure the wheels are centred when you switch the clutch to get back to straight (...)

| (...) Once agian I made the mistake of using hte 'higher speed' one, just like the last robot event. IN the 8448 that was just fine, but these are bigger tyres and a heavier chassis, so it takes a little bit to get up to speed. You can barely see' (...)

|
| I'm doing a cross-check on a part number. Can anyone confirm the number of the older, square Technic piston? Peeron shows the number for this part as 3652: (URL) shows the number as 3562: (URL) seems likely that the number on Technica is a typo, but (...)

| Ross- Looking at Nathan's crab design, I realized that the center steering mechanism resembles a differential. Realizing this I came up with a sketch (since that's all I'm able to do until I move into a house and open my legos) using a differential (...) (20 years ago, 28-Oct-04, to lugnet.technic, FTX)

| Hi all, Crossing Germany by car is very dangerous, since there are no speedlimits, and maximum speed of my car is rather limited - especially with 4 passengers and lots and lots of luggage (LEGO?). Before driving to Billund in August I built this to (...) (20 years ago, 28-Oct-04, to lugnet.announce.moc, lugnet.technic, lugnet.build, lugnet.loc.de, FTX) !

Incidentally, Nathan's design can be used with 2 fixed steering wheels: reverse the rear steering bar, so that tilting the "steering column" now operates crab steering mode remove the knob on (...)

| Nathan- Thanks for showing how crab steering works. I also like how you designed it, but the fact that it doesn't have a fixed steering wheel bothered me, so I designed one which has. Also, I might impliment this in my realtime version of my crane (...) (20 years ago, 27-Oct-04, to lugnet.technic)

|
| So why did I want to get the hubs and the rubber to stick together on the old large Technic tyres? After a very successful 8448 and 8475 merge, and a mostly successful 8466 and 8475 merge, I decided to have another go at it. Thought about the 956 (...)

My preference would be that turning the wheel would give 'normal' steering and tilting it would give 'crab' steering (it seems more intuitive, plus it would be much easier to judge when the 'crab (...)
