Thanks all!

Thanks! Does it go halfway through? What about the top axle hole, does the bar go through there? Thanks everyone so far!

Hi all, a question: Studio allows inserting a bar (in this case a 4L) into the axle hole pictured, but at the same time, the visuals suggest this doesn't fit. I don't have the 67695 at hand to test this. Does this fit, or not? And the other axle hole?

So... which part DOES actually lock with the 61684 turntable base? It seems only a brick that is no longer made does...?

That is a great idea. Thank you!

Thank you so much! So, it doesn't lock? Would you say attaching something to the dish in vertical position would cause it to rotate (e.g. a gun turret)? Thanks so much. So, no friction?

Hi all, can anyone tell me whether the two bricks below lock together? Also, if they do lock, does the dome move discretely or smoothly? Thanks so much!

Thanks! What you are saying made me realize why I am not selling too many of my MOCs... I design toys. AFOLs prefer something more... EPIC... than a cute little bus. :)

Hi all! I finished a bus with the mechanism we developed here. Instructions (free) are here. For people that just need the instructions for the steering mechanism, look here.

Understood. So, the two axle but with pulley wheels. My part shipment got lost by GLS, which is why I haven't built it yet. :)

HOW DID I MISS THIS POST? Geez, wow. I really don't understand why I wasn't notified of your amazing reply. So you would prefer the single axle pivot and not a barrel but a double pulley?

Wow, this looks impressive. It does require a lot of room within a 6-stud vehicle tough, and I think the white 90 degree liftarm would need more space than the 4 studs inside a 6-stud vehicle? Would love to see how it turns.

Great. This puzzle has been fun to solve together. I will do that, adapting the bus now so we have an actual demo vehicle to test. Stay tuned. ;)

You could use 18651 (pin with 2L axle) instead of 6553 and 22961 (axle / pin connector hub) instead of 3749 there. Why change that? :) Very curious. This looks very sturdy and elegant. Does it steer well? Perhaps the sliding axles are too rigidly kept in place? Sure, but we're testing alternatives here, so I guess it comes in handy to have a lot of Technic lying around. I would order a bunch and then end up with having to try a piece I don't have. :D

That's what I thought too. So, do you guys have the bricks to do so? I could order a batch of Technic as well, but currently don't have much Technic except my early 1990s stuff. :)
