Thanks Olivier, those pictures were a huge help.

That's what I thought, but then I ran into trouble. However I am a lot
further on now thanks to you and the others who replied. I have just
completed a solution that is 17 between the wheel hubs which I don't think
is possible in less.
I will find a friend with a digital camera and upload some pics somewhere
(this may take time as I don't have a site!) If you are interested enough
(anyone who is watching) I could always email them to save the wait.

My plan is to make the MOC as close a reproduction of the real vehicle as
possible so the cog options (Which Frederic Glockner also suggested) for
transferring the drive are out. But the first option where the pivot point
is transferred to above the centre of the U/J works. My answer is heavily
reliant on lift arms to reduce the size (all those half-widths add up).
However there is one remaining problem, the swept path of the wheels is very
long, they do not turn on their contact point like a real vehicle. I think
this is impossible to rectify without going to the 8880 solution. The basic
problem is the length of a U/J and to this there is no answer.
Anyway 17 wide is too big to stay in the scale I was after so big wheels it
may have to be.
I realise you probably can't add much (if you wish to) until you see what
I've done. I will put up some pictures as soon as I can.
Thanks very much again

| I know this may make some people squeemish, but you can always drill out a larger hole in the middle of the wheel's hub, so that the cv joint can slide all the way through the hub. Then connect a "technic wedge belt wheel" to the outside of the hub, (...) (24 years ago, 14-Mar-01, to lugnet.technic)
