So, y'all probably remember my Lego Xterras (I have three!). Some of you might have missed out on the Super Xterra. I'll give you a moment to catch up here:

In awe? Groovy. Now check this out - I figured out how to make steering!

On the Super Xterra, retaining the solid axle articulation! See below.

On the regular Xterra, which is based on the Great Vehicle build style, there's much less room to move and the effect is very subtle.

The joints have enough friction to stay wherever they're set.

Image
Again, subtle effect with a semi-standard City build due to lack of clearance, but it can steer!

Image

Utilizing the other axis, the Mixel joints coupled with the solid axle in the rear give a pretty convincing impression of independent suspension.

The steering effect really shines when your vehicle is lifted to the heavens:

Image
Somebody needs an alignment!

Image
Oh dear. (another very convincing independent suspension effect :p)

And coupled with some extra articulation...

Image


Enjoy.
