recently during one of my boring moments sitting here on line, i saw a some of sketches for a wheeled vehicle i work on from time to time and continued the thought..... i all ready worked out the basics for the upper and lower control arms, how to make them pivot, i worked out how i would make the spindle/hub/block thingie for where the wheels/hubs would mount as well as figured out (3 quick doodles later) the best way to make it have steering for the powered wheels making for an all powered wheeled vehicle (i think i even have the suspension worked out, i just have to hit home depot at some point) ........ but that just left the one big thing, how to steer it. i saw the threads for using a wiper motor and at the moment that seems to be about the most basic way to go (plus the "whatever stuff" for making it auto center afterwards like a servo) ..... a bit over my head for the moment i guess, but was just thinking, what about one of the linier drive thingies? them things with the long worm screw powered by a geared motor? other than space being a possible restriction, would they be any easier to work with? would they offer better benefits such as more torque? or would it just be harder to work with? chris
