__________________________ Posted March 1, 2015 Posted March 1, 2015 Any good ideas for a 13 stud wide (approximately), steered, driven axle with no suspension? Quote
DrJB Posted March 1, 2015 Posted March 1, 2015 (edited) Can't you start with the narrowest available and widen it until you get to 13? There was a post/thread a while back on here on the narrowest axle steered with a differential (driven). Though, if my memory serves me right, has to be above 13L, unless you do without a differential. Edited March 1, 2015 by DrJB Quote

I can't find any good ones with a differential. Edited March 1, 2015 by TheLegoExpert Quote
D3K Posted March 1, 2015 Posted March 1, 2015 (edited) Would this work? It is 13 wide and features ackerman geometry EDIT: Would probably need some reinforcing Edited March 1, 2015 by D3K Quote

D3K Posted March 1, 2015 Posted March 1, 2015 Yeah, sure, I made some more reinforcing as well.. maybe a little too much, so just remove as needed. I don't have any physical bricks at the moment, so can't test it out myself. LDD file can be found here Quote

mihai_9600 Posted March 1, 2015 Posted March 1, 2015 (edited) I built this axle and it is really cool. Thanks D3K!! I recommend using the 5x11 frame for easier integration into the vehicle frame. Edited March 1, 2015 by mihai_9600 Quote
OG_technic Posted March 1, 2015 Posted March 1, 2015 That's a really awesome little unit D3K, but from the looks of it it could improved upon by replacing the u joints with cv joints and moving the pivot points a stud closer to the wheels. That would reduce the amount of force needed to steer. Quote
D3K Posted March 1, 2015 Posted March 1, 2015 I'm glad you liked it That's a really awesome little unit D3K, but from the looks of it it could improved upon by replacing the u joints with cv joints and moving the pivot points a stud closer to the wheels. That would reduce the amount of force needed to steer. That was what I was going for initially, but I figured the female CV joint part (the DBG one) is a tad short to actually fit a wheel to reliably, seeing as you're left with just 1L of axle after passing it through the pinhole. Still, it shouldn't be too difficult to mod it to be that way Quote
