Ngoc Nguyen Posted February 29, 2016 Posted February 29, 2016 how about finding a buyer for your gf also that way you won't have to worry about any wedding ring Quote
Phantom59 Posted February 29, 2016 Posted February 29, 2016 (edited) You probably need a third too, so you can build the B model, and have the BME and mobile conveyor built feeding directly into the aggregate crasher..... O.G . anyone want my first, second and (bugger it all my kids and dogs included) will sell to a good home (as long as my wife dose not find out ) Edited February 29, 2016 by Phantom59 Quote
ctx1769 Posted February 29, 2016 Posted February 29, 2016 I,ll sell my wife Hope she doesn't read this forum Quote
Riley-NZL Posted February 29, 2016 Posted February 29, 2016 Damn, I don't have a wife or children.... I'm screwed. Quote

Riley-NZL Posted February 29, 2016 Posted February 29, 2016 Looks like the ring gear pieces are reversed alternately to make the ring, with 35 teeth each, making 140 teeth for the whole ring. This fits with the cogs used to drive it - 12-tooth cogs at either side (6M each between the ring gear and the centre) and 8x2M distances between them at 16 teeth per 2M. Given that the new turntable has 60 teeth (and there is one at the base for turning the output conveyor), an epicyclic gear of 60+20+60 could be made. This is quite a low ratio compared to 56+56+56 that fitted in a 168-tooth Hailfire Droid wheel. Time to think of MOCs that could use a quadrant gear! I also notice the doubled-up white torque gears near the motor. If one of these trips on high torque then the other will also trip straight away as one cannot handle the full torque of two (5-10Ncm). The video on Brickset didn't show whether the vertical shafts rotated whenthe tracks were moving. Since there are 3 I suppose it's one for the turntable and 2 for the tracks, with a scheme similar to previous excavators to get the track drives through the centre of the turntable. I applaud the larger Technic sets; it's something I've been lobbying for for a while. I'm likely to buy one set but I wish the many 3x11 panels alongside the conveyors were not dark blue as it's not a colour I find useful. White, Red, Black or Grey and I could use the panels from multiple sets. I suppose with that quantity there is a case for them making the majority of a model on their own but they don't fit the older space theme colour schemes. I might keep those for Technic and use the other colours more for Technic-built theme models, as I have done with the white panels from several 42025 Cargo Planes. Mark I was thinking the centre shaft would go through to the tracks and the outside side ones to a small gear each on each side of the turntable? Then again, with the much slower movement, I'm guessing that means more torque through to the tracks, and needing two shafts could be entirely possible. Quote
DrJB Posted February 29, 2016 Posted February 29, 2016 Or quickly find a wife who will buy it for you, like mine will. This discussion reminds me of one I heard a while back in a salt water fish store. Two of the people working there were 'commenting' about a young woman who has walked in, dressed very nicely (you can tell she was born wealthy), and she was into salt-water aquariums. I could hear one of the guys say something along the lines: Man, I would be the happiest man ever if she says yes ... she's good looking, and will pay for my hobby/addiction. Well, some of us no longer qualify ... gotta exercise self-control and 'pretend' to your significant other that your Lego days are over ... oh but wait, I need to buy it as 'investment' ... and on one of those cold/snowy days: So kids, wanna build a lego set ?

JGW3000 Posted February 29, 2016 Posted February 29, 2016 I need to teach my kids mechanics and simple machines Quote
Riley-NZL Posted February 29, 2016 Posted February 29, 2016 Ain't got no wife or kids? Sell your car Damn, don't have a car either... Could sell my motor bike, but then I wouldn't have anyway to get these big sets home. Seeing as I'm an organ donor, and ride a motorbike, I could maybe sell my organs "in advance"? I'd sell my older sister, but I actually get on well with her, maybe my younger brother, he's pretty useless? :P This is enormous! yeah it uses a gear ring for the turntable and two of the same part for the rotor wheel housing. I think it should be 100% electronic instead of manual but with a model this big it should be easy to mod. Id be amazed if the tracks are motorised and how they would even do that. even an XL motor might struggle. This like the whole line up of sets for tier 2, 2016 is amazing beyond anything. its like they improve quiet a bit every year! I can't see how it would struggle, the Crawler crane 40042 uses a single L motor for it's tracks, and although it's probably a bit lighter then the BEW, they are incredibly strong, I've used the crawler cranes tracks to pull the crane + two large lego boats and pretty much everything else I could find that I could chain on to it all at once.

legobeast73 Posted March 1, 2016 Posted March 1, 2016 how about finding a buyer for your gf also that way you won't have to worry about any wedding ring thats a good idea thanks i will post on craigs list LOL Quote
Phantom59 Posted March 1, 2016 Posted March 1, 2016 (edited) Just an idea A hobby shop owner told me a story once, a customer laybyed a large model of a ship . when he finish paying for it, he got the owner shop to ring his wife and tell her that her husband had won a model ship and for him to come down to the hobby shop and pick up the prize I cannot use the idea becouse my wife knows about it Edited March 1, 2016 by Phantom59 Quote
Kaanere Posted March 1, 2016 Posted March 1, 2016 Sell your computer/phone/tablet/smartTV/console/any-internet-thing. That way, you won't have to see 2017 sets and sell something to buy them! Quote
DrJB Posted March 1, 2016 Posted March 1, 2016 how about finding a buyer for your gf also that way you won't have to worry about any wedding ring What's the deal with selling? ... how about leasing? ... ouch, never mind Quote
Starmort Posted March 1, 2016 Posted March 1, 2016 I'll probably wait till 2016 for the 2nd or 3rd aaaand just if I dislike the 2016 models. This will probably work (or not if I love the 2016 models too...) Just an idea A hobby shop owner told me a story once, a customer laybyed a large model of a ship . when he finish paying for it, he got the owner shop to ring his wife and tell her that her husband had won a model ship and for him to come down to the hobby shop and pick up the prize I cannot use the idea becouse my wife knows about it Nice... but I don't need to justify my expenses to anyone... yet. I need to teach my kids mechanics and simple machines I tell something similar to some people that see so much LEGO in my house. "I love mechanics and machines", I love LEGO too (normal LEGO: creator...) but many people just don't understand that. Quote
NXT45 Posted March 1, 2016 Posted March 1, 2016 (edited) Lets get back on topic guys!! I really can't wait for this to be released! I wonder if there are any more new pieces. (EDIT: I meant to say new gears. Other than the pump.) Edited March 3, 2016 by NXT45 Quote

Ngoc Nguyen Posted March 2, 2016 Posted March 2, 2016 (edited) New discovery: http://www.boxmash.c...go_.technic.jpg It seems the round gear racks are attached to the base, not the turret. Edited March 2, 2016 by nguyengiangoc Quote
SNIPE Posted March 2, 2016 Posted March 2, 2016 It looks like we have yellow 9 lengh axles now. Quote
Ngoc Nguyen Posted March 2, 2016 Posted March 2, 2016 (edited) Does that mean odd-number length axle will be yellow from now on? Edited March 2, 2016 by nguyengiangoc Quote
Phantom59 Posted March 2, 2016 Posted March 2, 2016 (edited) It looks like we have yellow 9 lengh axles now. Does that mean odd-number length axle will be yellow from now on? Dose this mean there will be another shade of yellow. I think I have about 5 or 6 different shades already. some came in the same set. Edited March 2, 2016 by Phantom59 Quote
