I'm building Italeri Puma right now and I've got one question about steering. Were front four wheels independent of the rear four? Or they all turned at the same time?

Thank you

According to AFV interiors all eight wheels steer in unison. They make no mention of the front or rear pairs steering independantly.

I have the 222, 223, and all 4 variations of the 234 waiting to build. In reading up on them all of them had 4- or 8-wheeled steering. However, on looking at the supplied pics, it looks like the front and rear wheels were geared differently then the middle four. The angle of the turn looks different.

May be the pics, but it looked that way in all 4-5 of the ones I saw of the 234 series.

Yes the angle is different, because the outer wheels need to travel greater distances than inner wheels.

Hi,

On eight wheels cars the two forward axles turn to the side where you want to turn and the two rear axles turn to the other side to help the stern to turn.

The middle wheels angle it's a little smaller than the front and rear ones.

The angles of the inner and outer wheels are the same in each axle, it's the diferential mechanism that makes the outer wheels traveled more than the inner wheels.


HTH

OK, I got the answer from my fellow modeler, who told me that all 8 wheels turned at the same time, 100%.
