  1. Hi Grum, I missed a whole bunch of updates, just got caught up. I don't remember any project of yours having some many mishaps, I hope you finish it without many others. By the way, don't be too hard on yourself for making assembly errors, they're unavoidable when you are excited to finish the build.
  2. I'm very impressed with this, the 4 jaw chuck is my favorite feature. Does the tail stock have a live center? Does it work well?
  3. This is a very good looking set. I think they missed an opportunity by not putting "batteries not required" on the box.
  4. This is great, old school building. The speed of the functions is just right, quick but controllable.
  5. I have to agree, it was very fun to see the amount of talent and fantastic results. It even got me out of my current mini dark age, I started shrinking 9398 but never got around to finishing it. Congratulations to the winners and kudos to all participants, and a big thank you to Jim and Milan for running this contest.
  6. Excellent work Mr Jos, I really like that the solution allows controlling the "on" timing of the valves and the amount of pressure built up before the next valve is open. Would you have a picture of the horizontal travel mechanism? It looks very smooth.
  7. That looks great. I guess the shrinking factor is dictated by the tracks (3:5)?
  8. @aminnich Maybe it's a software solution, instead of a mechanical clutch? You can detect motor stalls using the position encoder.
  9. Keep in mind that thicker parts would weigh more, erasing the advantage of their additional strength. They probably found a sweet spot between the strength of the parts, their weight and the size of the crane.
  10. What are the pins you are using to attach the shocks to the frame? They don't have a split.
  11. 9: 10 3: 6 5: 4 11: 3 7: 2 2: 1 Some of the videos were incredibly well done. Good luck to all.
  12. Impressive and funny at the same time. Very nice build.
  13. Most sets, including the ones you mentioned, have LDR files (or similar digital format) created by the community. They are available online for free. If you are stuck, you can always open it and zoom in on the section that's of interest to get the answer for your own build. Creating instructions from these files is also possible, but I wouldn't try to replicate them 1:1. Legal reasons are one concern, but just finding the right view angles would take a while. Also, most Lego instructions have more steps than are needed by a seasoned builder, so you could also combine steps and make them shorter and a bit more challenging. The whole idea would be to make them look different from Lego's official version, while following the building sequence. But I'm not a lawyer, so take this with a grain of salt.
  14. Very well said. YouTube has plenty of good Lego reviewers, but few go beyond that without resorting to clickbait or gimmicks ("watch Lego twist a F150 drive axle!"). The RacingBrick channel always delivers good content, and is very informative. @kbalage Congratulations on the milestone, please continue the same way and you'll be celebrating another one soon.
  15. This crawler has fantastic performance. Most of @PunkTacoNYC's crawlers remind me of crawler/hill climbers like Bubba Bacon's. Those use solid axles with a linear actuator for steering. Good idea for making this thread, I'll be following it. Hope your surgery goes/went well.
