I built this to just to test an idea

The steering is done by leaning (like a skateboard)

Please use deeplinks!

I haven't seen your model but your idea to do steering by leaning is not so mad.

Look at this set from 1998. (I think it's designed by Nathanael Kuipers)

The steering joints are angled and thus react to the leaning of the vehicle.

I am fairly certain that model was designed before Nathanael's time at Lego...

I am sorry. I don't upload very often.

What are deep links please ?

Log into your brickshelf account and click on the picture icon and then click on the picture and then copy and paste the link in the address bar and then click on the insert image icon here on the message box tools(to the right of the smiley face) and then paste that link into it. I think this is how you do it.

... or maybe it was linking to non-public folder that was the mad idea?

The steering of this alternate is like the 8226 shown above?

Your brickshelf folder got moderated today. Here is one pic:

I like how you implemented the steering by leaning idea with a motorization. You could improve the steered axles by using one joint per wheel so they turn in place.

Then it only needs some upperwork, remember to keep all heavy stuff in the lower section.

@Paul

Yeah, you must be right. I don't know what it exactly was but I remember that 8226 was mentioned half a year ago as the first set of a designer who still works for the Technic team. But considering the fact that he was recruited about 7 years later it is obvious that it wasn't Nathanael.

grindinggears Thanks

I was going to use LA's for the tilling but that it would be more problematic as for the power steering unit I don't know where I got the idea from (most probably from brickshelf) but i find it very useful.

If anyone in the power steering unit I will up load it to brickshelf in the next couple of day in LDR (LDraw) format
