The other motor is mounted

The other motor is mounted up front and turns the front wheels from side to side, just like one a regular car

Yes :slight_smile: Thanks,

Yes :slight_smile: Thanks, maneuver!

Problem, however here, the wheels at the back are locked to each other, they cannot turn independently. This makes it quite crap at steering.

On the project “Wall Racers” I use that to make the car slide / skid. On the project “Skiwalker”, there is a short explanation in the video. Member in here, Jip has at some point made some walkthrough on how to make the wheels pull diferentiated by using Lego.

Project “Forfrabagfra” uses 2 times differentiated pull.

… And this robot, on this page, btw; It was crap at steering, it took a whole football arena to make a turn; Back wheels locked, but with much grip and weight. Front wheels almost no weight, and slick tires… Really a bad project, but one has to learn :slight_smile:
