In my latest model I found the same thing. It's a mobile crane with 3 steering axles, 2 front, 1 counter. It would only steer while moving, and still with difficulty. The trick would be to put more gears on, but then steering would be very slow. (...) (24 years ago, 31-Mar-01, to lugnet.technic)

I agree. I am not sure who coined the phrase "if it ain't broke, don't fix it" but as my old QC instructor use to say, "if it ain't broke, how do we make it BETTER!" That should be the goal of every Lego fan. After all, this is how we learn and (...) (24 years ago, 30-Mar-01, to lugnet.technic)
