    4 wheel drive, 4 wheel steering —Adrian Drake
   Have there been any sets other than the 8880 supercar that have 4 wheel drive and 4 wheel steering? Adrian (23 years ago, 30-Apr-02, to lugnet.technic)

     (...) Nope, but quite a few people here have "rolled their own". ROSCO (23 years ago, 30-Apr-02, to lugnet.technic)

     (...) Although the new 4x4 offroader certainly has the "potential" to get 4w steering. ROSCO (23 years ago, 30-Apr-02, to lugnet.technic)

     (...) Just Potential? All the parts are there to make it 4 wheel drive and four wheel steer. All four wheels have the drive/steering pieces. Roy (23 years ago, 1-May-02, to lugnet.technic)

      (...) The rear wheels have drive, they just didn't connect the steering to them, they locked them instead. I was suprised that they didn't show a mod to bring to steering all the way to the rear wheels, as it goes most of the way there to go to the (...) (23 years ago, 1-May-02, to lugnet.technic)
    
         Re: 4 wheel drive, 4 wheel steering —Ross Crawford
     (...) OK. But the set as supplied doesn't include extra pieces to create the linkage, or connect it to the steering mechanism - you need extra parts & some good engineering, so yes, I would say "just potential" 8?) That potential has probably been (...) (23 years ago, 1-May-02, to lugnet.technic)

     (...) As Rosco already wrote, no. The only other sets with 4 wheel steering that I know of is 8660 Arctic rescue unit, 8446 Crane Truck / Monster Crane Truck and 8830 Rally 6-wheeler but they all have 6 wheels total. /Tobbe (URL) (23 years ago, 30-Apr-02, to lugnet.technic)

      (...) There is also the 8460 crane. I recently made one of these from the Brickshelf scans (red instead of yellow :-) and while it is an excellent model in most respects, I found the pneumatic control of the boom a bit naff. IMHO the system used on (...) (23 years ago, 30-Apr-02, to lugnet.technic)

     (...) Hmmm... I've seen that model on the net only, think I'll have to build it. And why did my mind sing on Monty Python's "Spam"-song with the word "Crane" instead of "Spam" when I saw your post? :) /Tobbe (URL) (23 years ago, 30-Apr-02, to lugnet.technic)

   (...) The 8459 Front Loader has four wheel drive and sort of four wheel steering. Actually, it has a centrally operated articulated body, but it is still very nicely done. Fredrik (23 years ago, 30-Apr-02, to lugnet.technic)
