I've toyed (is that a real word?) with the idea of putting a motor in
the back section and running a rod through the center but I can only
come up with a way to get the midsection to rotate relative to the
back section which would leave the front to rotate any particular way
it wanted to.

| You should try a differential gear housing or tires with round holes. You have the correct idea to connect the front section and back section with a long axle. Each end of the axle should fit into a cross hole so that the sections turn together. The (...) (24 years ago, 12-Feb-00, to lugnet.technic, lugnet.build)
