I don't think the shafts on those are rated for any kind of radial load. It would be better to build a bearing housing/hub assembly that the motors could be bolted too.
yes l agree there, l dident think the steering was going to work well with 2 wheels on each side, looks like normal buggy type steering is heading my way l havent seen a drain port on the motors but will look again, the idea of using little rams for the steering instead of linkages sounds good, l will have a hunt on ebay and see whats about, 1" dia piston 5" stroke sound a good starting point ?Andy
I don't know of the Citroen cars , but I have seen the hydraulic jumping cars. I always thought that it would be cool to be able to adjust the ride attitude hydraulically. The accumulators would allow the suspension to work, but you could have a valve that allowed you to bring the front/back or left/right up or down to accomodate the slope that you were on.On the drawing, is that a small motor to the right of the driver, and the pump and reservoir to the left?
