Kolpen Posted November 25, 2007 Share Posted November 25, 2007 Ok so here is my new project. I thought that the radio controlled John Deere 7920 (1/16) tractor could need a smaller turning radius. Originally the frontaxle from ERTL is made to a very narrow frontwheel setup to follow the line of the inner rear duals. So I desided to make a new axle, made for the wider setup. So why not go green all the way. I am about to convert the existing frontaxle from the ERTL tractor to a wide setup using John Deere's principles for the turning. Everybody knows that when a Deere turns it tilts the wheels. My axle has 5 degr. camber angle inward and 12 degr. caster angle backwards. The axles at the ends looks bend, they are not, it's the light... :wink: Next up is to make the turningparts and hubs and to mount the servo... /anders Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DustyK Posted November 26, 2007 Share Posted November 26, 2007 looks good but you should have made it a mfwd axle Cant wait to see it finished. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
