  1. In the meantime I've finished building, recording, editing and uploading (found some pretty bad music too ) so here is my solution for the HOG steering. Uses considerably more parts than Didumos69's used. I've been trying to enhance the rigidity around the rack. I am happy with the result, but that doesn't mean that matches others taste. The steering wheel makes about 2 turns lock to lock, giving a little bit more realistic ratio. There is an 8L axle with stop, what holds the hog. It is hanging out 2L from the dash. If you don't like that way you can use 7L axle, but in that case make sure you put some half bushes on it (inside the upper bracket) to avoid pulling it out. (that can be annoying ) Also if you don't like the gear ratios, you can change any of the pairs. This ratio is tuned as I like it. I'm not good at video insertion, we can agree on that....
  2. Looks nice and simple solution, (in a good way). Let me ask that the pin with the pinhole holds strong enough? For me it seems likely that it will jump under tork... Sorry, as a new member I should be more modest. Don't take it as an offense.
  3. There is a hole between the two 9L beams on the dashboard, that is where I'll bring it out. Using a black 20 gear as hog it wont mess up the aesthetics too much. (not more then if it is anywhere else) As a side effect I'm expecting that it gives the steering wheel a more realistic ratio. Still I couldn't get around it yet, so don't take it as a promise. I've been using this method in earlier MOC's with quite convincing results. Sorry I can't make it now. This afternoon turn out to be busy.
  4. As I see, pulling the paddles to the end is a basic requirement of the design, as that much movement is necessary to make the 90 degree turn on the end of the system. Locking on exact position is a fairly different story. I am curious however what would be the TLG's official statement about this... And for all of those, who would like a HOG, I have a concept in my head. If the stars are alligned I can post the mod sometime this evening (late).
  5. Thank you. I've made the change. Not neceserally sucsessfull, but in the last two days god of digital thingies doesn't like me. Yesterday the brickshelf became unavailable, when I was gonna post my MOC. Thank you for inviting into such a good community.
  6. Hi fellas, I think I find a permanent solution for the double engagement issue. It is a possible mistake in the instructions. Please watch the video I've just uploaded. Thanks for your attention, give me some feedback how does it perform for you. I have no idea how to insert the video here, so I link it I made it finally (I mean the video insertion)
  7. Hi, I've been trying to make a topic on my MOC but running into difficulties with the pictures. As all my pics are on brickshelf I was going to use that as hosting site, but just by luck it is unavailable in the last at least 12 hours. I've been trying to use my google +, but at the preview it says that I'm not allowed to use that image extension. What should I do?
  8. Attika posted a post in a topic in Hello! My name is...
    Hello people of Eurobricks, it is good to be here. I go by the name of Attika and I am an AFOL. My dark age has ended four years ago when I bought a set of Technic for my nephew, the 8081. I made the mistake to open it before I handed it over and that was the first time when I've seen a lego differential and uni joint. (Those things I haven't had when Iplayed lego as a child. And I really missed them.) That moment the monster woke in me from a twenty years long sleep. Since then I buy sets and parts. Building from instructions never fascinated me, so I build MOC's, just like I did in my childhood. Couple of months before I've started my youtube channel under the pressure of a friend who wasn't even a lego fan, but he was rather annoying. So as a part of my introduction here is the link to my videos: https://www.youtube....IdoVUIqWFsEmC2g Few more thing left to say, like I'm interested mainly in studless Technic, and I am a hardcore heretic non-purist. I grab this passion from the engineering side and if I find that a non existing part should exist, then one way or another I'll make it. Still if there is any of these modified parts appearing in the creations that I'll post, those going to be highlighted and I'll share the tutorial, how to make them if demanded. I hope we will enjoy each others company here. Ps: My english isn't flawless as it is a second language to me, please excuse that.
