How Not To Build A Front End

As we go through and learn about building LEGO Technic based vehicles we are bound to make mistakes along the way.

Our first experiment with a powered driveline:

The Power Functions M Motor was directly connected to the battery box and then chain driving the v12 and driveline.

And this is our first attempt at a remote control vehicle:

It utilizes the independent rear suspension we put together the other day.

We then custom built the front suspension with a lot of trial and error along the way.

Well, we are still in a state of error:

Note the control arm separated from the mounting pins.

Having a look at the rear setup we saw what we missed:

The axle used is a 4L instead of the red notched 2L we used up front and both upper and lower control arms are held in place with the red lift arms.

So, back to the drawing board. :)
