I would use tie rods between adjacent wheels for the steering axis and in both directions held square. This will give it the effect of tie rods on a locomotive to transmit motion without backlash. It can tend to twist though so i would only use it to remove the backlash from the driving gears. You can still have the motors and control unit above the base by undoing the linkage leaving a sandwich with the middle layer free to move, then secure the top and bottom layers together with a C shaped bracket.
@joshclark44
13 күн бұрын
As an edit, it's not removing backlash so much as equalizing it as you've done here by centralizing the main drive shaft. With gears alone, this suffers from a single point of failure, however, and so the tie rods would help prevent that.

In the real world, the first concept has more advantage I think - you don't need to get torque to a rotating mechanism, especially without them interfering with each other. Instead, you just need a swash plate or CV/uni joint as you had for each wheel and some uniform actuation with linkage, and virtually no backlash issues.
@BananaGearStudios
24 күн бұрын
I definitely agree that the first version has some benefits. The main drawback that led to me going with the later design was that, as you tilt the wheels, the car gets raised up off the ground a bit. Which means that once the full car was built the tilting mechanism would have to be very strong and robust to lift the car off the ground every time you want to change direction.

Thanks for the comment, but I tried that while working on it, and unfortunately you can't connect chains to the turntables because their teeth are bevelled on one side. So to use a chain I would still have had to mesh each turntable with at least one gear, and then connect these gears to spur gears above which I could drive with a chain. I thought about this while building it, but ultimately from that point using more gears was the simpler solution and also let me gear down the motor more.

Why not use chains to connect each of the turntables directly? You just put one loop of chain going around the entire body of the car, it’ll drive all of the turntables the same way, and you can drive the chain from another gear that might be used to tighten their connection. Less slipping, less backlash, etc…

The problem is that Lego chain links don't mesh with the turntable pieces because their teeth are bevelled on one side, otherwise I would've definitely done that. So the options would have been to either use the much larger turbtable pieces instead which don't have this issue, but it would've made the car way bigger, or to mesh the turntables with gears and then drive those gears with a chain. I considered that, but ultimately it was simpler to just use gears the whole way through. Should've probably mentioned why chains wouldn't work in the vid.

It might not be as expensive as you think. I thought the same thing until I went to bricklink and made myself a list of the gears, rods and other parts I thought I would need. Most pieces there only cost a few pennies (while others, yes, can cost $0.50-$1.00 or more). Pare down what you think you need and start building. My first shipment was 150 items and cost me $19.00, 2nd one was 135 items at $25, 3rd was 1362 items that cost $130 (prices include with shipping). *Do the math* and see what it is per piece. That included gears, axles, liftarms (so many liftarms), turn tables, pins, bushings, frames, pin connectors, hubs, chains, rubber bands, and Gear Differentials. Get everything in the cheapest color, it's a steal. I started with two small 15 year old sets I had broken up in a box and now I try to build some of the contraptions I see on here. Try it and reply back here when you do. Good luck!
