Model Details

Add precision steering performance and reliable road handling to your HO scale CarMotion vehicles with the Viessmann 8417 Front Axle Complete. This fully assembled axle unit is designed specifically for CarMotion 1:87 road vehicles and is essential for ensuring accurate steering geometry and smooth running characteristics across complex model railway road layouts.

It is intended for vehicles with a front-to-drive-axle distance of 45–55 mm and forms part of Viessmann’s modular CarMotion engineering system. The unit includes the steering linkage and integrated magnetic components required for interaction with CarMotion guidance systems, ensuring realistic lane-following behaviour when used with magnetic tape or control infrastructure.

According to manufacturer specifications, the axle is pre-assembled and ready to install, making it ideal for replacement, repair, or custom vehicle construction projects within the CarMotion range. It is compatible with a wide range of Viessmann HO scale vehicles, including multiple Actros and Magirus Deutz models.

The 8417 axle is engineered to work as part of the CarMotion autonomous driving system, enabling precise steering response when used with embedded magnetic guidance or infrared-controlled convoy operation. It ensures stable tracking behaviour, improved directional accuracy, and smooth integration into CarMotion-powered vehicles. The compact design allows it to be fitted discreetly within HO scale cab and chassis layouts without affecting realism.
