I am glad you like it! If you click on the pics and look on peeron and bricklink you will find that they both say 2008. So unless you were born in 2001 or later you are mixing up this new part with the older Technic, Universal Joint, 4 Long http://www.bricklink.com/catalogItem.asp?P=9244 hope this helps kurt

great job on the chassis, i love it. Just one thing, the 3-long thing wasn't introduced in 2008, Ive had it since i was 7 and that was years ago.

Your solution is very nice, but not like the proto-type I was modeling. I also have added pictures of my new 7 stud solution (see above). I am not sure if it can be made smaller with the parts we currently have. kurt

Thanks alot for the advice! Works fine now. I have built many lego mechanisms and vehicles (not posted) and this is my solution for a 8 studs wide axle with steering, drive and suspension. Check it out and tell me what you think http://www.mocpages.com/moc.php/233343 And please post that new 7 studs wide axle solution which you devised. I would love to see it.

Thanks I now have a version that is only 7 studs wide! When MLCAD loads a model it will tell you if your library is missing any parts. If so, read this http://www.ldraw.org/Article101.html and add the missing parts to your library, use "Method 2: MLCad". hope this helps kurt

hi, great chassis design but with compromise - no diffs(full lock) but as far as I am concerned this is a recordbrakingly narrow chassis - only 8 studs!! WOW!! great job! I like you put the instruction there but I have a problem. When I load it into my newest ldraw and mlcad it wont display half the parts. What should I do? help please
