I never tried it out so I can't tell about the friction.

Perhaps that's an option. Don't think the bulkyness matters.

Nah, it ain't to ridgid, hence the other version above. But it's made
out of mostly basic Technic parts, or could be made by it.

That's always an option but I still wan't to use the 8660's steering
so the problem remains.
Thanks for the input.

| (...) I took a look at 8660 right now, and I'm sure you want to use the same principle, but not the same size, right? You'll probably want to use Supercar size wheels? I'll agree with you that you'll need to power more than one axle to get it going. (...) (24 years ago, 1-Nov-00, to lugnet.technic)
