Rotary engines are a bit obscure, but they don`t loko interesting in a
finished technic model. Or would be hard to do...
8466 with fourwheel steering? i have one sitting on my desk, rear axle is
built like the front one and it has 4 wheel drive and 4 wheel steering. The
drivetrain is easier to turn than the original rear end and the 4 wheel
steering took a few different designs to get working well in a way that is
light to turn. I`m just waiting for some parts from bricklink to finish it,
but it is working...
