Experimental Front Steer Axle Design
When built, not bought goes too far! Despite some great small scale RC 4x4 vehicles and parts already being available, I couldn't help but tinker with my own ultra scale axle design. Simply modifying our MA10 rear axle into a front steerable variant looks promising, but when It came time to create a DIY joint to allow the knuckles to steer, I eventually came up with a simple but sketchy solution. Could springs be a cheap and simple alternative to a conventional U-joint? It looks like it could be, at least for a very specific type of build. I'm sure I'll be tinkering with this axle more in the future, but for now I hope you fin it interesting. Keep on building and tinkering, you never know what solutions you might find. 👍
