VKTechnic Posted December 29, 2013 Author Posted December 29, 2013 Was away for a while, but I'm back. So, I've transferred most of the bodywork. However, there isn't enough space for my desired steering setup (shown below, but with the servo/steering shaft mounted to the chassis), so I'll be redesigning the front axle within the next few days.

Paul B Technic Posted December 30, 2013 Posted December 30, 2013 You are making really good progress with this and I am really enjoying keeping up to date with what you are doing with it :) Quote
HorcikDesigns Posted December 30, 2013 Posted December 30, 2013 This one looks much better than the original :D Would you mind showing more photos of the axles, or whole chassis? ;) Quote

Also got new (old) seats Next step is the winch... Quote
HorcikDesigns Posted December 30, 2013 Posted December 30, 2013 (edited) Once I figure out how to take a picture from a nice angle, I will. Thanks Edit: Have you used portals on axles, or not? And is the worm-gear-box position final, or just WIP? Edited December 30, 2013 by Gzzig Quote
bricky300 Posted December 30, 2013 Posted December 30, 2013 Whats up with that switch hanging around there? Quote
VKTechnic Posted December 30, 2013 Author Posted December 30, 2013 Whats up with that switch hanging around there? Haven't mounted it yet Have you used portals on axles, or not? And is the worm-gear-box position final, or just WIP? Yes, I do have portal axles, and the worm gear box is in it's final position (unless something prompts me to change it). Quote
HorcikDesigns Posted December 30, 2013 Posted December 30, 2013 Yes, I do have portal axles, and the worm gear box is in it's final position (unless something prompts me to change it). If I were you, I would make the worm gear housing in black with 2905s (thin trangle liftarm) and simple connectors (6536), but I'm not sure it will be as strong as this one... (The parts numbers are from Bricklink, I'm not sure whether they're right) Quote

(The parts numbers are from Bricklink, I'm not sure whether they're right) I was thinking of doing the same thing, but that setup would interfere with the wheels at maximum steering lock. Quote
