And here is my contribution to the "smallest front wheel steering with

only the springs from a small damper (part 731 & 732).   ;)

Look at the photos in the

Steering5_photo*.jpg files.

Yeah, I also think you cheated..... but what's the problem?????


There is no problem, but I've tried to make a usefull small suspension
system with only Lego parts and "normal" Lego parts... and hopefullly
getting some drive in there too.
And yes, I also like to put a diffrential in there too...

But until now this is the smallest front wheel drive with steering and
independent suspension I can make;
http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?i=259836  , only 14 units
between the wheels.
(parts from the #8466 set is used, so there goes the "normal" parts)
Photos for this is coming later.

I'm trying to make the smalles steering system with drive and suspension and
also small drive and suspension for the back too. It is going to be my first
"big" project, the smallest 6 wheel drive truck with working suspenion,
drive and steering. It also going to have a crane and a tipper.

No real truck as a model, anybody now of such a truck?

Until now I've made the front suspension/steering/drive system. And
currently working on the rear suspension/drive system, when that is finished
I'll see if I put in a gearbox and a piston engine too..

It´s a very interesting suspension setup.... and very very very small.

Ok. Now then? Can it be even smaller than this??

That's a winning one..... I'll try to  build one like that, but using this
time full dampers or maybe rubber bands instead of coils taken from the
dampers... I'll post the designs when they're finished...


Good, I'm sure there IS a way to make it even smaller than my model  :)

Lek vel!
(what language it is and what does it mean?-in english and spanish)

Its Norwegian and means "Play Well!" and means the same as "Leg Godt" in
Dansih that again is what LEGO is a abbrevation for :)
