KNEX R/C Car

I made this Radio Control mostly from K'nex pieces and parts off an old Tamiya Car.

@knexcreators well I did what you told me to, no doubt his is a very nice creation. However, it's like comparing apples and oranges because mine was built so I could steer it and as far as I can his goes in a straight line (albeit over bumpy terrain). It would be sweet if he implements steering, it's hard enough with k'nex for a car that goes along flat ground.

Thanks for your inspiration! Saw your comments on Ackermann steering on your other site. I'm pretty new to these things so forgive me for asking, but does this completely take away the need for a differential? I'm building a RC K'nex car myself, and could really need some improvement in this area.

hi sorry I actually typed out a nice long reply to your question and have only just realised it never posted! I was incorrect with what I said on the website. Basically a differential is needed because wheels turning with different radiis turn at different speeds. Differential stops them from skidding. Because this thing moved so slowly a differential is not needed.
