| Ross- Looking at Nathan's crab design, I realized that the center steering mechanism resembles a differential. Realizing this I came up with a sketch (since that's all I'm able to do until I move into a house and open my legos) using a differential (...) (20 years ago, 28-Oct-04, to lugnet.technic, FTX)

| Hi all, Crossing Germany by car is very dangerous, since there are no speedlimits, and maximum speed of my car is rather limited - especially with 4 passengers and lots and lots of luggage (LEGO?).

Incidentally, Nathan's design can be used with 2 fixed steering wheels: reverse the rear steering bar, so that tilting the "steering column" now operates crab steering mode remove the knob on (...)

| Nathan- Thanks for showing how crab steering works. I also like how you designed it, but the fact that it doesn't have a fixed steering wheel bothered me, so I designed one which has. Also, I might impliment this in my realtime version of my crane (...) (20 years ago, 27-Oct-04, to lugnet.technic)

After a very successful 8448 and 8475 merge, and a mostly successful 8466 and 8475 merge, I decided to have another go at it. Thought about the 956 (...)

My preference would be that turning the wheel would give 'normal' steering and tilting it would give 'crab' steering (it seems more intuitive, plus it would be much easier to judge when the 'crab (...)
