Julien, (...) have (...) TLC have! The 8880 super car has 4 wheel drive, 4 wheel steer. (I think the 8448 also has 4 wheel drive? Someone correct me if I'm wrong!) They designed special parts for it though - I haven't seen a good implementation done (...) (25 years ago, 26-Nov-00, to lugnet.technic)

Hi, Dan, (...) No, I haven't ever worked with helicopters, or aircraft of any nature (though I'd like to get a pilots licence some day). I got all the information from reading - mostly on the web! Interesting your current employment - one of my (...) (25 years ago, 26-Nov-00, to lugnet.technic)

Has anyone come up with a design for a steerable live axle? With the spacing needed for the differential and the substructure for the wheel pinnions, I have been unsuccessful in building a modular axle that is narrow enough for practical use. Any (...) (25 years ago, 25-Nov-00, to lugnet.technic)

(...) Do you work with helicopters on a daily basis? I ask this since it seems you know some of the language (swash-plate, anti-torque pedals, etc). Also I work for a US defense contractor (Kaman Aerospace) which is building the SH-2G(A) Super (...) (25 years ago, 25-Nov-00, to lugnet.technic)

(...) Actually I didn't really think this one was really that good. The look is fantastic and it comes with many useful parts and innovative design ideas, but there simply aren't enough functions to make it worth $170. At this kind of price I would (...) (25 years ago, 25-Nov-00, to lugnet.technic)
