1/16 Scale FrankenDiff

I think that I just might be starting to get a handle on this Alibre assembly crap.


You are looking at a functional 3D assembly model. I can spin the wheel on the axle. When I turn the steering knuckle the wheel moves with it, and the tie-rod brings the knuckle on the other side along for the ride.

I did have to give up on the idea of putting the tie-rod above the drive shaft though, there just wasn't enough room. Where it is currently located the tie-rod is about 4-5mm below the driveshaft and won't touch any thing trough its' full range of travel. The bottom of the tie-rod is still above the bottom of the differential though so the tie-rod shouldn't get caught on any thing.
