If I can find the time I might post some suggestions for you later. Ant that only advantage is hampered by the way you have linked the steering. The setup you are showing in LDD is very good when you want a very large steering angle, but still has the problem of moving the wheels to much and not being stable or able to handle a high load. Using a hub with three pins holding the wheel would be preferable when carry a big load like a excavator, but it can be solved in other ways as well. You should place it as close to the center of the wheel as possible, and you want to make sure the stub axle is well supported as well. I suggest you start over, and start by addressing the steering point. It makes for a unstable model as well as making it very hard to steer and event harder to steer while under power. This makes the wheels move a lot in longitude rather than rotating around the wheel center.

I suggest trying to build it with actual parts and stress them by applying a load similar to the expected weight of the complete build to see what I'm on about.Īlso you have a problem with the swing point being so far from the actual wheels.


This seems way to narrow for a excavator, and it can't handle the stresses a excavator will expose it to.
