Why cant you use a sand rail car for some of this construction?

I was at an airshow today, and the navy had a display setup with one of the sand rail cars that the navy seals use in the desert. Pretty cool actually. Looked like it would be an absolute blast driving around. Especially considering the engine was rated at 200hp/200ft.lbs torque. I kept looking at the big tires, and the all black cage....screamed tumbler.

I have a question about the front steering:
Are the steering linages hidden further back near the body? I know each wheel has an indipendant single swingarm with a spindle attached, but unless it's steering eac side independantly like a tank, the wheels have to be connect somewhere for steering. Bob D, any comments?

Here is a simplified diagram of how I think it works. Does this make any sense to you?

The steering worked both ways. There was the system like Tim posted, with the wheel controling both front wheels at once. In addition, the rear wheels were controlled with brakes on each side. This is how the stunts like the 180 in the bus depot were pulled off with such ease.

I've read somewhere that the backwheel needs to be stopped by a handbreak for the tumbler to have better steering (left or right depending on the direction of the turn).

Just watched "Easter egg" footage of the Tumbler backing into the cars. If you watch carefully you will see that the cars front ends drop just before the Tumbler hits. It may have been the original idea for the Tumbler to roll over the cars. What's also odd is that in the first shot you see the bumpers and then in the second shot there are no bumpers and the cars are positioned differently.
