It's not the wheels, it's the linkage involved. It causes the wheel to move a little bit sideways and turn quite sharply, you could use it with any wheel.

Cool and unique! I like the blend of functionality and model team styling :)

Wow, that is one incredible MOC! It's not very often that you see things of that scale :) -Junpei

I'm currently in my "dark ages", I think. I think I may be coming back out of them, I build a few things every now and then, but I haven't even been sharing them on EB or even documenting them with photos. My LEGO is currently being sorted, I really hope I can come back out of my dark ages soon. :D Junpei

@Rockbrick: I apologize for the misleading title, it's nearly centre-point steering. Almost a stud closer to the centre of the wheel than you would get with e.g. this as a kingpin. Here's a picture showing it: Because of the perspective, it's a little bit off (it's a little bit farther out, possibly even truly centre-point, this picture is just demonstrating the concept).

Hello! Today I'd like to present my idea for an axle I made, probably most ideal for small MOCs and model team trucks. A couple pictures, front and back (please ignore the 7L beam with the wheel on the end, I used it to prop it up so I could take photos :P ) The two links on each side allow the pivot point to be projected outwards, creating a pivot very close to the center of the wheel, and somehow it also has Ackermann geometry (tbh, the ackermann was not even intentional, I was ecstatic and very surprised when I first steered it ) Steering is done by rotating the cam you see in the middle of the axle. Well, I think that about covers it. I hope you enjoy it, and feel free to incorporate it into any MOCs if you wish. Happy building, Junpei

Dang, those wheels look awesome! Correct me if I'm wrong, but I'm almost certain that they're actually for smaller rims than the Unimog tyres. The tyre walls are thick and the tyres themselves are wide, but I don't think they're going to be replacement for power pullers, might be good for the F1 like Paul said :P -Junpei

That is the most beautiful thing I have ever seen.

Heyo! I'm Junpei, and I guess you could say I'm a new member, judging by my post count. I used to be known as twentyleggedhen on EB, but I try not to think about that because I never made MOCs and just browsed and sh*tposted. Not this time! No, I have been reborn as Junpei! By making this post, I vow to be participate in the community in a positive way, constantly make and improve my MOCs, and try new themes. Well, I think that's just about it. I'm really looking forward to my time on EB with all of its wonderful members.

Test post! Oh, wait, I forgot i'm a lurker

I don't know if this is the right forum to post this in (couldn't find the introductions and goodbyes forum/topic) but anyway, the title says it all. Yeah.. if you guys haven't already noticed i haven't made a single post in like 5 months ._. i'm a little bit more back into LEGO now, so i may occasionally share MOC's from time to time here again. C: -TLH

Holy megablocks.. this is awesome! Although I'm wondering, why the diff in the front but not in the rear? TLH

Welcome to Eurobricks! :D BTW, you should go studded all the way- your GBC is among the best I have ever seen. Your Decimator is so cool! TLH

Wow.. I've never seen one with grey rubber, much less light bluish grey. So you can confirm that it is definitely light bley? TLH

Yup, the rubber ring attaches to the stud on a micromotor. I don't know if it's the picture, but I have never seen one with light grey rubber. TLH

I think it can still be pulled off. Take a look at this: A whole movie would be quite difficult tho.

I think it's just not getting replies.. :/ In all honesty, this is the best MOC I've seen in months. I think people may be a bit biased away from studded parts, but I think it's very nice. TLH

I don't think I've ever seen steering transferred to an axle like that! Awesome vehicle. TLH

Wow, I love it! What a great use of linkages! TLH

Wow, what a beautiful car from you! Your MOC's don't get nearly enough attention for how awesome they are.. :( TLH

Looks great so far, the suspension looks very nice! I don't like the looks of that battery box on one side tho. :/ TLH

Wow, that's an awesome 'bike'! I love all the technic figures riding it. TLH

Found the perfect piece for the main jet nozzle: http://www.bricklink.com/catalogItem.asp?P=4742 For the cockpit canopy (not sure if I'm thinking of the same thing as you are) : http://www.bricklink.com/catalogItem.asp?P=50986 Hope it helps! TLH

This can't be happening... >.< TLH

Hmm... I'm not sure about this at all. Firstly, it will not be able to handle high torque, and may not even be able to steer; at least change that 8L input axle to a 4L one, but the turning radius even shortened 5 studs is absolutely ridiculous... :/ TLH
