how the rear wheels turn in the opposite direction of the front wheels. I will

this. I seem to recall a crane or other vehicle that could do this. Or I might
be thinking of someone's web site that had done this to a vehicle of their own

Does anyone know the reference of remember the vehicle?


See Crane 8460, instr. pages 15-17 give a clear view how it's done.

so, if lego claims to have 'a new steering principle' I hope they don't
refer to opposite-turning-rear-wheels.    :-)
