    Default At last: the Alien 8 Supertruck

    Started a few days ago wiht this new truck, followong the "Alien" series. To make it interesting: it's supposed to have four front wheel steering. I've just completed the test, and it should work. As a favor to you all, I took pictures of all the steps I went through to make the steering.

    G'Day Leo, Good to see your creative juices are again flowing in the Alien Series....
    That steering mechanism is first class, sir....

    Yes, "clever" is the word. That is ingenious. That is going to be interesting.

    Looks like another of your fantastic builds Leo. I will be following as usual

    The steering is looking great I presume that the main link arm that goes to both units is moved by the centre pin through the base board.

    Really nice piece of work that Leo.
    You've kicked it up a gear alright.
    It seems a bit of a shame that the steering mechanism ends up hidden away.
    Have you thought about making the base plate out of Perspex.
    Great work mate

    Cheers
