| TANSTAAFL  Join Date: Feb 2008 Location: People's Republic of Maryland  | Need LEGO construction help
I built this 4-wheeler, and everything is good, except that I can't figure out a way to build functional handlebars/steering. Right now, it's got a static handlebar, but I'd like to build ones that turn with the wheels.   Anyone have suggestions?

do you have anymore of the t bars? If so make a motorcycle fork. Edit: Never mind that won't work.

How about a push/pull lever on one side?

On your gray crossbar (the one not at the front) stick two extended (1 block on 1 end, 2 blocks other end) connector pegs and tack on a 3 hole bar, leaving a spot in the middle of the two, then create an axle for your handle, at the end of which has a cross block with a connector peg sticking out. Turning the axle should turn the cross block/peg which will push against one of the bushings and hopefully turn your vehicle. Make sure you use the correct connector pegs in your turning system to ensure smooth, low friction turning (reduce force needed to turn handle). I wish I could draw you pictures or word it better but I've always referred to Lego pieces as "that little piece there" or "the long/short one with X holes/studs". Hope this helps: Lego Spare Parts Catalog 2012

lego has a miniscule gear. it just might be small enough. not sure if its teeth has enough reach when you angle it at 45 degrees though, as you might want to angle it for a better look. part 2 in his picture

I honestly thought you made one big enough to ride.
