A little mod of my 10220 VW T1 Camper van: A simple steering mechanism<\/strong><\/p>\n

Everytime I had to move my Camper Van on the shelf I missed the possibility of steering the front wheels. The model is quite big and heavy and so it wasn’t easy to “park” it. So I looked for a way to add a steering mechanism without touching the outer shape of the Camper.<\/p>\n

I remembered a mechanism shown in a video on the LEGO Creator pages<\/a>. So I looked for that video and started to build this mechanism into the front of the Camper with LDD. I had to order some of the parts so I had to wait some time before building it for real.<\/p>\n

This is the result:
\n\"\"<\/a>The possible steering angle on the front wheels is not very big, but it’s enough to move the model left and right on the shelf. I didn’t add a limitation in the mechanism, so now the wheels move until touching the inside of the wheel arches. That is not very elegant, but I didn’t want to limit the steering angle even more.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>The mechanism is a combination of classic and studless Technic parts. That was the best way to build a compact mechanism and include it into the model without touching the outer shape.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>This is how it looks like behind the front wheels<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>The center pieces of the mechanism are two 3×4 Technic beams in “T” shape. The rest is build around these two beams. The steering is very easy: You just push the model into the direction where you want to go with the model and wheels will follow. In the original video<\/a> you can see how that works.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>So this is a simple steering mechanism for my LEGO 10220 VW T1 Camper Van. I hope you like it! :-))<\/p>\n
