(...) Well, it was worth a try. I tried both LDD1.6 and LDD2.0 . Both required a new Linux /lib32 library, libdrm.so.1 . I got that and installed it. LDD1.6 tries to do what looks like some OpenGLL stuff that isn't supported. It *did* manage to (...) (17 years ago, 9-Apr-07, to lugnet.trains, lugnet.cad.ldd)

Nifty work there! It definetly looks fun, and makes me want to get some of those wheels. Without a differential, does it suffer on curves(1)? The only work around I can think of would be to only power one side of each axle, or put the gearing the (...) (17 years ago, 8-Apr-07, to lugnet.trains, lugnet.technic, lugnet.robotics, FTX)
