Do you want drive or steering? The latter will make your quest more (...) (24 years ago, 10-Aug-00, to lugnet.technic, lugnet.build)

It's about 6 studs wide where it's in contact with the ground and 8 studs in the center. I expect it'll work best on carpet. (...) (24 years ago, 10-Aug-00, to lugnet.technic, lugnet.build)

It only supports the native 8880 wheels, unfortunately. (...) Yep, that works quite (...) (24 years ago, 10-Aug-00, to lugnet.technic, lugnet.build)

| | | | (...) I hope it works :) I've built two wheels with suspension now, so I'll try to get it motorized and then add the rest of the frame, the articulation, and the other wheels. (...) I'm not ;) Instead I built a somewhat similar system: basically two (...) (24 years ago, 10-Aug-00, to lugnet.technic, lugnet.build)

Thanks to a worm gear, the vehicle moves slowly but steadily. The fact that the (...) (24 years ago, 11-Aug-00, to lugnet.technic, lugnet.build)

| | | | | | Update on the rover: The rear end is complete, including the articulating section which is driven by a micromotor. I tested it by adding a couple big wheels to the front, and as long as the vehicle is moving forward, it turns quite nicely, thanks to (...) (24 years ago, 12-Aug-00, to lugnet.technic, lugnet.build)

I think that it prevents the width of the vehicle from being narrow, so I've never used this approach (...) (24 years ago, 11-Aug-00, to lugnet.technic, lugnet.build)
