This is a very interesting project. I’d like to see the slew ring for a crane in
this scale, assuming that it’s a working model and not just a static piece.
Looking at the design of the crawler so far and knowing a bit about large Lego
cranes it raises a few questions.
As their is no sprocket will their be enough weight on the driven tyre to move
the vehicle or will it just spin?
I also wonder if the track will break? I doubt it as their are three hinges, but
it’ll definately never be able to turn on carpet, but I don’t suppose Ross
intends to do that.
I also wonder if the track will stay on, as their seems to be nothing holding it
in place laterally. These parts probably haven’t been added yet.
