You may ask yourself, "Why is a platinum user posting such a tiny, almost trivial vehicle that a newbie wouldn't even post?" Well, its an experimental testbed for skid steering systems, and I wanted to post the concept in a simple, effective manner that anyone can figure out. And that it would be easier for people to understand the workings like this, than bury it in several hundred parts of superfluous aesthetics. Pitch controls direction, and roll steers.

Great idea! Thanks!
im fairly sure this is exactly what i used for my sherp. It works well doesnt it?
Great for hover tanks but not fast cars I think I'll stick with the usual method of turning
