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)

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 (...)

I'm doing a cross-check on a part number. Can anyone confirm the number of the older, square Technic piston?

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 (...)
