Wow. Weird, I was just thinking about this a couple of days ago. Looks good so far. And as for the steering, I had an idea when I was thinking about it a couple days ago, but I forgot. If I think of anything I'll let you know.

I think it is a great project and you're on your way. As for a way to help you I'm not sure but I have to say I will watch this project closely

For the steering you could probable just use the xmods servo on the front then on the steering behind it use the servo you want to use & just run the wires parallel to the board, so then they turn at the same time. As for a body i think some sort of tank would be cool, or get a truck & put a flat bed on it.

Well with what your wanting to do, there is still a chance it wont be in sync, because you have extended the steering out farther so it has to do more to turn the second one than the first one.

For the body I say unimog.

edit: Wait I just had an idea for the steering. I don't know if it will work. But could you flip the knuckles so the left knuckles are on the right and vice versa. And then link the 2 sides together. And then link those to sides together in the middle. That way when you move the middle link, all 4 wheels turn. Do you get what I'm saying? It's kinda confusing. But I could make a quick little diagram if you need.

Why don't you use the two separate servos that are in the front part?
you could solder them together and have both of them running to the board.

nah that wouldnt look very good seeing as though unimogs are only 4 wheels so having a 8 wheeled unimog would look kinda goofy dont you think?

i kinda like the project, excited to see how it works out thats for sure

Actually I got to thinking about what I described and that won't work. All I can figure is either keep the knuckles how they're supposed to be, and just make some bullet-proof linkage, or do that and run 2 servos. I don't know. I'll think about it some more. Someone will eventually come up with something.
