Quite simple build; inspired by Empire at War and the Tie Crawler, I whipped this little guy up from the beams that made the Crawler's treads, but the design is my own.[/url]

Oh yeah, bring on the pain! Love the mechanisms you came up with.

Very interesting mechanics in there. I just gave up trying getting the wheels to work when I built a moc of this a year or so ago. Razz

Thanks to both!

@ DD: Yeah; you need to take those 1x3x1/3 beams which has an axlehole at each end, and a pinhole in the middle, and connect the structural beams in the middle. Once that's all clipped together all you have to do is put the washers on to hold the treads. It doesen't matter if the washers are in pinholes or axleholes but axleholes will slow down the movement somewhat.
