Most definitely! I don't understand why the smaller shock absorbers are more expensive than the large ones. Quote

I hope lego makes them in gray like they did for control+. 23421 and other parts is also out of stock still Edited January 12, 2022 by SNIPE Quote

astyanax Posted January 12, 2022 Posted January 12, 2022 @SNIPE Kewl! I hope the part comes in stock soon then that'd be nice to see Quote
astyanax Posted January 12, 2022 Posted January 12, 2022 Has anyone ever had a use for those clicky mech joints in technic builds? I was thinking even of static stuff such as holding angled bodywork; but then again they might still be knocked ajar... Hmmm Quote
jovel Posted January 12, 2022 Posted January 12, 2022 They use a 15 degree angle for each click, so you can get the same result with angle connectors which are more compact to build with. So in most cases I consider these not very usefull. Quote

Making base 10 calculators out of Lego, I was bothered by the lack of 10T gears, but I did recently remember that this part has 10 teeth, and bought some. We'll see if they're actually useful at some point... Quote

I've been looking for these as well but no luck. 14 hours ago, SNIPE said: I hope lego makes them in gray like they did for control+. Hoping that too, but not sure it would eventually happen, though seems logical. The description of the small motor says something like "to be used with the Small Technic hub (Spike Prime) and the Large Technic hub (Mindstorms)". But does not mention the Medium Technic hub that is used in all technic sets. Could this be because the voltage of the Spike and Mindstorms hubs is 7.4V, while the Technic hub is 9V, which could be too much for the small motor? At least enough so that TLG would not use the medium hub to drive it in an official set. I'm also wondering if it's a good idea to drive this small motor from a Buwizz (though maybe power curves can take care of that).. Anyway, maybe it's a good idea to buy some in this azure color if it becomes available. Quote

Maybe there is some simple way to advance 20 tooth gear by 2 teeth at a time. Quote

Oh you are right, but I still dont consider these very usefull as there are more compact ways to build with 15 degree angles. Edited January 13, 2022 by jovel Quote
TechnicRCRacer Posted January 13, 2022 Posted January 13, 2022 What will be SUPER useful is that the new half pins with friction pair excellently with the toggle joint parts. The friction is very tight and can hold them at an infinite number of angles. Quote

But red ones go for like $5 a piece on BrickLink... Quote

You'll need to be a little bit lucky, but set 8386 can found quite cheaply if you look long and hard enough. I've seen them for €25-€30 a few times. It has two red toggle joints, but it also has two 1x6 thin liftarms in red, two palm tree trunks in LBG, a couple somewhat expensive soft axles in red and a bunch of black 3 long pins. Well worth it imo, if you need some red parts. Quote

Well worth it imo, if you need some red parts. Indeed! About 2 years ago I was looking to expand my collection of red connectors, beams, and panels. I found 8653 and 8070 locally second-hand. Parted out, they have been corner stones of my red supercar builds, like the Ferrari 488 Pista (now recycled again). Quote
Johnny1360 Posted January 13, 2022 Posted January 13, 2022 Something I found out, the new fork tubes from the BMW can be easily disassembled, the upper part makes a great canon piece for mocs, not that LEGO would ever do that. Quote

What's your source for that? I'd be interested to see what they look like internally. Quote

I hope lego makes them in gray like they did for control+. I'm torn. Really want this motor but at local resellers it's 3x the price of a PU large motor. I wouldn't mind the Spike Essentials set; the small hub could come in handy. That too is expensive though - costs about the same as 51515 :(. Edited January 14, 2022 by ord Quote
Johnny1360 Posted January 13, 2022 Posted January 13, 2022 (edited) Personal experience, couldn't help myself, lol. The two tabs at the top can be very easily pushed in at the same time, I used two of the air T pieces and it springs apart. No damage and super simply to reassemble. I guess I should have took a picture but I figured it had already been done and now it is very much attached to the bike. Not really much to see, just three parts.

Bricktrain Posted January 24, 2022 Posted January 24, 2022 Has anyone used the rear shock and front hub pieces together to make a Macpherson strut? I want to give it a go but have to wait about 5 weeks for the parts to arrive. Quote
