The other night, I started exploring what uses can be made of the big gear wheel from the Hailfire Droid. Having plenty of ZNAP beams handy, I used a few of them as a gear box to hold the wheel. (URL) The first attempt was to use four 8-tooth gears, (...) (20 years ago, 6-Dec-04, to lugnet.build, lugnet.technic, lugnet.znap, FTX)

This is a little project that I have been putting spare minutes into. It has independant front and rear steering. The steering (at the momment) is controlled by two sticks. The stick is pushed right or left to get +/- 90-deg of wheel turning. (...) (21 years ago, 17-Nov-03, to lugnet.build, lugnet.technic, lugnet.znap)

Brian, Here's my znap bridge I did. It's pretty sturdy, albeit somewhat heavy as well due to the amount of plates I used on the base.. It's a double 6-wide train bridge.
