pagicence Posted June 6, 2018 Posted June 6, 2018 (edited) Yeah, I saw that moded SA. The reason I'm asking is because I saw Didumos's post in his parts list in his [WIP] Greyhound topic and the price is listed at 20E for a big SA. And it blew my mind. They are insane! So why shouldn't we start making our own SAs. Homemade, DIY SAs. Edited June 6, 2018 by pagicence typo Quote
Void_S Posted June 6, 2018 Posted June 6, 2018 (edited) Guys, maybe I missed it but didn't find here, but some new parts of 42083 arrived at BrickLink: 35186 - Technic Driving Ring Extension with 8 Teeth Inside and Outside. That has less backslash rather the older one with 4 teeth. 35188 - Technic Changeover Rotary Catch. 35185 - Technic, Gear 20 Tooth Double Bevel with Clutch on Both Sides. Finally!!! 35189 - Technic, Steering Wheel Hub 3 Pin Holes Round. Holes instead of pins, that dramatically reduce the use scope, but compatible with new wheels (see below). 37383pb01 - Wheel 62.3mm D. x 42mm Technic Racing Large with Silver Outline Pattern. Not very useful like the previous one, but works with Braked-hubs (see above). Edited June 7, 2018 by Void_S "4 theeth" for sure... Quote
1gor Posted June 6, 2018 Posted June 6, 2018 You mean less backslash then older with 4 teeth Nice find Quote

It looked so much smaller in the instruction pictures but it is a big as a 20z clutch gear, which I found out when I opened Box 1. Edited June 7, 2018 by Bublehead Wrong gear size Quote

Yes, and it looks like 20T gear (notice the same inner "cross") but with an inclined rim instead of the teeth crown. Quote
pagicence Posted June 7, 2018 Posted June 7, 2018 For all you crane builders out there, I saw this solution for rotating mechanism today on rebrickable. It's a new MOC Crawlercrane Wide Tele by peteria. The solution uses round tiles in between two gear racks. Quote

Erik Leppen Posted June 7, 2018 Posted June 7, 2018 Yes, it's a neat solution. The main problem with it is that it creates a ~0.2 stud gap between the two rings. This could be solved by mounting one of the rings out-of-system (0.2 stud higher or lower), for example by inserting 2 plates between the ring and its mounts. Fortunately, 42082 will provide us with another solution. As I understood it, they used train wheels there. Quote
Richard Dower Posted June 8, 2018 Posted June 8, 2018 (edited) Check out the others parts I got, note the rare White colour on these parts. I have a bunch of Friction and non Friction pins in Black and White. https://imgur.com/a/LKvmBFf Edited June 8, 2018 by Richard Dower Typo Quote

The parts in the top pic are all second hand, the bag on the top left has #43093 and #3749. I am getting in White #32062. Quote

TechnicRCRacer Posted June 8, 2018 Posted June 8, 2018 Good luck getting white 3L pins Seriously, nice parts! I always wanted to find white frictionless pins at my local flea market Quote

I also got a big lot, brand new, of White Bush and half Bush parts. Correct me if I am wrong, but I don't think half bushes exist in Black ? Quote

Johnny1360 Posted June 8, 2018 Posted June 8, 2018 Funny, I am probably one of the few who are dissapointed to see NK discontinued. I always found them to be great parts pack for not so common elements both Technic and System. Quote
Richard Dower Posted June 10, 2018 Posted June 10, 2018 (edited) I just went through sorting my pins. They need to be cleaned, but I had to sort friction from non friction. I have 54 Black friction and 6 non friction. I have 11 White friction and none of the White frictionless pins. 42056 uses a lot more then 54 pins, so I might have to choose wisely where i use them. I want the outer body frame to be all white, but since I lack the pins I will use black where needed. I had to use a magnifying glass to see the friction ridges on the pins. I have 26 Black bushes... Should be enough. Edited June 10, 2018 by Richard Dower Quote
