General Part Discussion

[Richard Dower]

I was watching the speed build of 60125 on Brick Builder... That set has 8 of Part #2744 in Lime Green.

This part is also in Blue in a Nexo Knights set...so hopefully it Also comes back in Black, I need a load of them in that colour to rebuild old sets.

apologies, but i was concerned about picture size and getting a warning from the mods...i have a formal warning already so i did not want to get another.

Axle and Pin Connector Perpendicular in Green not seen since 2006 (to be released in 70593 set)

9L link in Red, not seen since 2002

NOT trying to be a douche here, but that part is actually Bight Green, and not the standard green...its seen in 42039: http://www.bricklink...colorID=36&in=A

i was actually HOPING you were right, as i wanted brand new parts of the standard Green 6536 so i could build that Technic tractor from 2006: http://www.bricklink...8281-1#T=S&O={}

http://www.bricklink..., Steering]#T=C

also another new re-colour, the 3 studs wide steering wheel is now available in DBG...first used in the CLASS tractor: http://www.bricklink..., Steering]#T=C

Part #2819:

not a new part per se, but i find this 1x16 Technic link rather interesting, and it was recently re-coloured in Yellow: http://www.bricklink...&colorID=3&in=A

we are also seeing more use of Part # 50484 in Technic sets, as in the Yellow colour: http://www.bricklink...&colorID=3&in=A

also the new Technic panels used in the Porsche, Part # 24199 in Black and Orange: http://www.bricklink...lor=11#T=C&C=11

Part #15458 is now available in standard Green colour: http://www.bricklink...&colorID=6&in=A

the new wheel hubs used in the Porsche...i belive they are also in the new CLASS tractor as well: http://www.bricklink...lor=11#T=C&C=11

the wheels/tyres in the Porsche are also new:

http://www.bricklink...lor=11#T=C&C=11

http://www.bricklink...lor=11#T=C&C=11

Part #78c07 in Flast Silver used in the Porsche is a very juicy part to have back, especially if you are like me and want to build old Technic sets using brand new parts. This part is used in several excellent sets incl. 8386, 8458 and the Power Puller set 8457: http://www.bricklink...colorID=95&in=A

The Porsche continues to bring us parts in brand new colours not available before, such as 12L and 19L soft flex hoses in Orange:

http://www.bricklink...Color=4#T=C&C=4

http://www.bricklink...Color=4#T=C&C=4

another interesting part is #32013, this part had not been seen in Orange since 2004: http://www.bricklink...&colorID=4&in=A

while Part #32192 had previously only been used in one set from 2014: http://www.bricklink...&colorID=4&in=A

Part #6536 was dusted off and brought back in Orange, had not been in production since 2004: http://www.bricklink...&colorID=4&in=A

Part #6538c got a re-colour in Orange also: http://www.bricklink...&colorID=4&in=A

the 1x3 liftarms had been out of production since 2012, brought back for the Porsche: http://www.bricklink...&colorID=4&in=A

for me, probably the most interesting part is the 1x11 liftarm in Orange, not seen since 2002: http://www.bricklink...&colorID=4&in=A

this a great news as i plan to build set # 8473 at some point, when i can get the parts....this set features some very rare parts incl. the ultra rare 1x9 liftarm in Orange:

http://www.bricklink...nv.asp?S=8473-1

also of note is the 6x4 bent liftarm in Orange, not seen since 2009: http://www.bricklink...&colorID=4&in=A

the curved Technic panels are now available in Orange: http://www.bricklink...Color=4#T=C&C=4

the large Technic panel is back in Orange since its first release on the Unimog in 2011: http://www.bricklink...&colorID=4&in=A

this part is brand new, Part #26287: http://www.bricklink...Color=5#T=C&C=5

Does the 42030 Volvo come with 2x V2 IR receivers?

Are all new IR reveivers V2?

Yes, all new IR Receivers are V2

Nope! It comes with V1.

Are you sure? Thought LEGO didn't make V1 anymore. I ordered a replacement for my V1 about a year ago and got a V2.

Yes, i'm sure! I have it myself an 42030. V2 was primarily developed to fit specific demands of the Crawlers (9398, 41999) PF setup (2L + 1 Servo) while V1 better fits the present set (1M + 1L + 1XL + 1 Servo)

Dumb question: are there any steering links other than 2739 and 2739b? A 4L or 5L link would be really welcome. I know part 15459 can be sometimes used but I don't find it very practical.

30397, but may it can't be used on suspension creation. What about 3D Prints? Here and Here.

[Richard Dower]

well colour me stunned!...i just saw Part #4274 for sale in White, and its a brand new part!...

Those are perfect - thank you so much!

[Limga]

I am trying to find some small parts with half-stud offset like this Technic cam. It will be perfect if there is the part with 2.5 studs between pinholes. Anybody knows?:)

[Bricktrain]

What about using studded bricks?

This cam is already the one small part that offers half-stud offset, I don´t know others so far. Working half-stud the following elements might be useful as well:

Thank you! I have already built the most robust connection as it seems to be possible, but I was wondering whether there are other parts than can be useful. I'm making some small portal axles, but gears without reinforcement from the both sides are slipping under very heavy load. However, it is still can be useful.

What about using studded bricks?

Yes, that is variant too, thanks. But, as I have said, I was wondering whether there are another parts with half-stud offset. I'm thinking of using studded brick to reinforce the portal.

Could you change your design a little, looking at the pic, it appears your axle is offset from the kingpin, if you could move it over 1 and down half you would have the axle in line and you could use a 12 and 24 tooth gears to give the same ratio.

[gmshades]

Can someone "name that part" It's the grey wheels in the picture below:

Thinking of making something similar for the Claas Tractor. Thanks!

[Gnac]

Seems to be a load of "disc brake rotors" from 8420.
