Brickthus Posted February 9, 2009 Posted February 9, 2009 I've posted instructions for how to motorize 8960 Thunder Driller with an 8293 Power Functions motor set and just 5 extra parts: http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?f=365894 To keep the number of extra parts low, I didn't add an IR receiver. There is scope for strengthening the mechanism inside against high torque on the wheels (the cogs jump because the body isn't too strong), but that would also have used extra parts. The idea was that kids might have the few extra parts for motorizing their Thunder Driller. I'm onto building gearboxes and other fun items with the wheels now. Enjoy! Mark Quote
SkyOtic Posted February 9, 2009 Posted February 9, 2009 Is it done already, or are you still building the motors in it? if your done with the main mechanism, could ou make a vid from it in action? Quote
