Hi everyone,
Some time ago I've started working on a new (my first) 6x6 project, based on parts from the wheely king and the crawler conversion kits. The final goal is building a model of Oshkosh M925. But a functioning model is needed before working on the looks.
Right now, I think the drivetrain is ready. I used 4 wheely king axles, as two of them are used to make the middle axle, which has an output from both sides.
The suspension on the front axle is the stock 3 link suspension. But the 2 rear axles are mounted on a balance cart, that works great right now.
My only issue, is the steering. I am testing various options to steer the front axle. The stock configuration (in the pictures) is not giving enough travel nor force. And by placing the servo on the axle I still don't get much travel.
If you have any ideas that may be helpful (longer servohorn...) I'll be glad to hear them "thumbsup".
Thanks!
To be continued.
P.S.
The chassis will be made out of aluminum.
Once I'll receive the additional pair of wheels I'll upload a picture with them mounted.
