(...) The 8880 Supercar has all-wheel steering so that both rear wheels turn less than the front ones. That's not quite the same as Ackerman correction, but it helps. I've seen Ackerman steering correction done in LEGO, but of course I can't find it (...) (17 years ago, 19-Sep-07, to lugnet.technic)

Hi, first post. I'm new here. I haven't been able to mentally sort out some issues with technic cars with suspension, drive and steering without using specialist parts from sets like 8880. Suspension-- Using wishbone suspension, the wheels moves (...) (17 years ago, 19-Sep-07, to lugnet.technic)

OK, I've scoured the 'net for a good 90 seconds and can't find what I'm looking for. Here's what I'm trying to do: I have an application where I need at least four different outputs. The NXT only has three. Is there a way that I can easily chain two (...) (17 years ago, 17-Sep-07, to lugnet.technic)

(...) I'd definitely recommend it too, I've used that to open/close a minifig door very easily. I had also thought of using the axle with a stud at the end, coupled with a clickits ring, but that didn't offer as much clutch. (17 years ago, 4-Sep-07, to lugnet.technic)
