It would be nice if there was a place to hold it that makes it swooshable while operating the mechanical functions. It feels awkward to relocate my hands and I always drop the little thingamabob. I think I may add a handle or something.

That's the one. Thanks for sharing! I really did search for it. :-(

Nov 9 here & same when I called. My order appeared back in my history but I still see only bestseller parts. 🤷‍♂️

Is there something going on with pick a brick on lego.com? I had an order back in November for some of the newer parts and it was cancelled without notice this week. When I checked none of the parts I ordered are offered on the US site and they're down to only 293 Technic parts. Did I miss a memo? EDIT: It looks like they only have bestseller parts and no more standard?

You said 8t spur gear, I think you meant 12t? Just wanted to make sure I haven't missed a new part. That would be quite a feat!

Some of recent Technic sets have me scratching my head. I liked the VTOL plane, but really hated the other two Technic Space sets. Speaking of going back... I'm pretty sure that by now there have been more third party PF motors sold than Lego ones. They killed PF years ago and their fans basically ignored it. Not sure I understand the new motor battery hub either. I feel like we're gonna see a whole bunch of uninspired bodies wrapped around this thing over the next few years.

I don't have the exact parts in front of me but IIRC the old 8T gear without reinforcement goes into a technic hole just a bit. If you use the newer style 8T with reinforced edges, I'm about 99% sure it fits in your situation.

Just wanted to share the transmission working with the biggest tires I've ever been able to run from a mostly Lego design. MTP and carbon axles with lube (giggity)...but the gearbox hasn't failed yet!

I'm an android user and have a PS4 controller that I use to control my buwizz 3.0. Everything works fine from the Buwizz perspective but when I record video with the pop-up video recorder app the PS4 controls the pop-up instead of the Buwizz. Assuming this is because it's in the foreground. Using the pop-up with touchscreen controls is no problem however the controller seems to want to control the foreground app at all times. Once I minimize the recorder it stops recording This isn't a Buwizz problem more like an android problem. Curious if anyone uses their controller this way? It's kinda nice to run everything from one device without having to use a second camera but I couldn't find any settings for this Or am I doing it all wrong?

That is useful! I knew about the notches, but until now didn't now about the mold update in 2018. THANK YOU!

Sorry if this is common knowledge but it was something of a eureka moment for me when I discovered it. 11272 has small cutouts on the center which allow a 24T gear to sit in between when 5M apart. This is similar to the spacing with 6536. AFAIK, this is the only Technic axle connector where this tolerance exists in the middle of the element, all of the other places I've seen it are at the ends. In my case, this came in very useful while building worm gear drives for my new micro tank MOC. EUREKA!

This would be a huge improvement over the new yellow stepper gear for the reasons you've stated: smaller and holds the gear in position! Never heard about geneva gears before. Thank you for sharing!

They certainly didn't have the 24T clutch gear back then. That one is a game changer for sure!

@Zerobricks I've been messing around with your transmission design from Tiger 6x6 for quite some time. I've used it in many, many vehicles. Recently, I was able to squeeze it down even smaller with the addition of a Cada micromotor for shifting. I took note of some of the additional bracing you designed in for the 6x6 to prevent the 24T/8T combo from skipping and I think I've faithfully reproduced it here. LXF is below. few notes: 1. I used Cada 4L friction pins (you will see these represented as two white pins) 2. For various applications I use 'flip flop' beams for the main bearing (additional gearing, steering passthrough, etc). For example, in my current design, I use a Cada 6L flip flop beam but because this isn't in LDD, I used the 7L and colored it purple. Would love to see what you think or hear any suggestions. It works in VERY heavy duty applications and will be sharing a video shortly to demonstrate this. THANK YOU for sharing your Tiger design! https://bricksafe.com/files/midonofr/transmission2.lxf

I just finished the the new Mercedes 42177 and I'm finding these new wishbones and 12T clutch gear interesting. I wish I had a few more to mess around with. The spacing of holes on the wishbone opens up possibilities for building really oversized suspensions but seems like the little ball hitch is going to limit it's utility.
