 | | Liebherr LG 1750 —Vineet Honkan
|
| | | Greetings all- Having just gotten another of the 8421 cranes (total is 2) I decided on a whim to build the Liebherr LG 1750 (it is possible to build the chassis using these two sets). I set to work yesterday on the chassis, in the afternoon, and (...) (19 years ago, 19-Aug-05, to lugnet.technic)

| | | | | Hey nice chasis, I like the underside shot where you can see all the steered wheels. Hmmm, what are your thoughts on the strength of the center of the chasis? Looks like some more latice work will come in to play when you keep building to keep it (...) (19 years ago, 20-Aug-05, to lugnet.technic)

The difference this time being that instead of using gearing to generate the different steering angles required I'd like to use fixed links (...) (19 years ago, 20-Aug-05, to lugnet.technic)

| | | | | | | | | This model incorporates geared steering (I don't need to tell you how difficult it is to turn the darn thing! If you are to build something as complex and big as this, DO NOT go for geared steering. (19 years ago, 20-Aug-05, to lugnet.technic)

I've since refined it to allow normal steering and crab steering, and anything in between, but have yet to actually complete a MOC using it. ROSCO (19 years ago, 21-Aug-05, to lugnet.technic, FTX)

The linkages between axles are going to run down just the left (or right) side. Steve (19 years ago, 21-Aug-05, to lugnet.technic, FTX)

| | | | | | | | Is it a lot easier to turn than using gears? Also, is it possible to hook this system up to a steering wheel? (19 years ago, 21-Aug-05, to lugnet.technic, FTX)

It didn't take too much time, but what was a real problem was the pins. After pushing (...) (19 years ago, 20-Aug-05, to lugnet.technic)
