suffocation replied to Mechbuilds's post in a topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale ModelingI'd throw in a subtractor so the excavator can turn more smoothly. -
suffocation replied to Didumos69's post in a topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale ModelingSure will! If you want, you can also send me a presentation in Dutch and English; I can translate it into Italian and have it translated into French and German. Maybe we can add some WIP pictures so visitors get a real feel for the building experience. Quick question: on step 15, is there a particular reason for using the assembly on the left rather than the one on the right?

suffocation replied to Didumos69's post in a topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale ModelingI just ordered the handful of parts I'm short of to build this masterpiece. I'll try to exhibit it at Lego events here in northern Italy and possibly in Canton Ticino, if that's okay with you.

suffocation replied to Saberwing40k's post in a topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale ModelingHere's a major screw-up - and a recent one, too I was working on this to clear my head from all the murkiness conjured up by my fledgling off-road tow truck. It's a two-speed crawler undercarriage with drive (2 L motors) and a subtractor (1 XL motor). In first gear (1:75) it crawls fine even with 2 Kg of ballast; in second gear (1:25) the difference in speed is barely noticeable even without ballast, whereas with ballast the L motors stall. Better shelve this until I learn how to build.

suffocation replied to Jim's post in a topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale ModelingThat's a massive improvement on 2017's

suffocation replied to Jim's post in a topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale ModelingThey can come out with a Technic turd sandwich as far as I'm concerned - as long as it's got interesting building techniques and is a good parts pack as well as good value for money, I'm fine.

suffocation replied to StudRobotics's post in a topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale ModelingLive axles would also provide increased clearance and give you a ton of room for diff locks, which can be pretty useful (and fun!) if you want to use the vehicle on rough terrain.
-
suffocation replied to StudRobotics's post in a topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale ModelingTwo ideas off the top of my head: 1) Get rid of those useless beams on the bottom (replace them with panels if need be), thus cutting the vehicle's weight and, consequently, the stress on the drivetrain. 2) Use live axles so you can mount portal hubs and gear down after the diff. Same outcome as above.

suffocation replied to legoisawesome's post in a topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale ModelingGiven the time and effort that go into modelling a vehicle to the extent that it can be called a recognisable replica (only aesthetically, of course, because any patented inner workings are sure to be light-years beyond what is feasible with Lego) and making instructions for it, I doubt anyone is going to make a living out of selling instructions. Even then, what kind of bum rap would a company get if they told a respected MOCker to pull his/her instructions from the web? It's free exposure and it's not damaging them - quite the contrary, in fact; and today more than ever, bad press goes a long way in screwing up a company.

suffocation replied to legoisawesome's post in a topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale ModelingThat's a question for a competent jurist.

suffocation replied to legoisawesome's post in a topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale ModelingYes, no and no.

suffocation replied to steph77's post in a topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale ModelingAwesome work again!

suffocation replied to SheepEater's post in a topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale ModelingA feller-buncher like Desert Eagle's but with a complex system of remote switches (think 8043 on roids) instead of a single motor for each function.
-
suffocation replied to steph77's post in a topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale ModelingThis is such a beauty. I saw your tow truck on YT as well and was floored by how everything - both functionally and aesthetically - just flowed together and made sense. You've got tons of talent.

suffocation replied to Polo-Freak's post in a topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale ModelingDoes anyone know if the z24 gear has been redesigned? 42068 has one in what would normally be an illegal connection (but legal with a z24 clutch gear). I noticed the code in the instructions is different from that in, for instance, the instructions for 42042.

suffocation replied to CM4Sci's post in a topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale ModelingThe big surprise is going to be set 42067: a massive combo of 42068, 42069 and 42070, in celebration of extreme colour vomit. Source: builder's burn-out.

suffocation replied to BrickbyBrickTechnic's post in a topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale ModelingPhenomenal build! I'm amazed at how you manage to design and build such terrific models in so little time.

suffocation replied to Aventador2004's post in a topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale ModelingYou're getting better and better by the day - keep up the good work!

suffocation replied to MangaNOID's post in a topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale ModelingThe more gears, the more backlash. If you've got a servo, you can mount it directly on the axle. (You could do the same with any other motor but would then need to gear down, leading to more complexity and backlash).

suffocation replied to Imanol BB's post in a topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale ModelingSure! I uploaded some pictures here. It's not a good mod, though - I just wanted to see what the vehicle'd look like and didn't bother re-engineering the axles to reduce track width or improve turning radius.
