Tad--the pictures I have only show the front two wheels turning, but the suspension set-up suggests the rear set of wheels also is steerable (see the first set of pictures in this thread). It may be that the rear wheels only steer in specific situations. Hope this helps.


The second set of wheels turn less than the front set, and the rear set can have countersteering activated to reduce the turning circle, but only below 20kph.

Your centauro looks very nice Lucas. Do you know where this version has been deployed in operations ?

There was a few of them around in Bosnia during IFOR/SFOR i the late 90' . Can't remember if it was Italian or Spanish troops who had them. And if it was early or late version, I don't know either...
I should have some pictures somewhere from those days.

Hi guys, thanks a lot for your answers. I will modify the steering set for the first two axles like Lucas.
