|
| Ross- I have designed the gearing mechanism for the crab steering. It is a redesigned version of my original crab steer design. As per your questions about this; 1) I understand the clutch gear has a backlash. I have tried to fix this problem by (...) (20 years ago, 30-Oct-04, to lugnet.technic, FTX)

| Nathan- Do you have a website? If so, what's the address? BTW, I'm having a bit of trouble posting my crab steering sketch, so I just went ahead and sent you the pic via email. Tell me what you think. (20 years ago, 29-Oct-04, to lugnet.technic, FTX)

| (...) Sorry to eavesdrop, but would your revised version of my idea be something I could implement on the telehandler? I thought about moving the mechanism to the cabin. No matter how I do it, the more play in the gears- the less aligned and (...) (20 years ago, 29-Oct-04, to lugnet.technic, FTX)

| (...) 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' (...)

| | | | | Part number for old Technic piston?

| 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)
