Technic 42054 Class Tractor Changeover issue
Klirre replied to teos's topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale Modeling
It could be that you built it very carefully and almost frictionless the first time, so that the friction between the clutch gear and the driving ring was enough to drive the crane even though it was in neutral. This happened to me when I built the 42043 Arocs, It started tipping the bed whenever I turned the motor on. I just pushed one of the gears against a liftarm and suddenly the behaviour stopped.- 9 replies

Does a part like this exist?
Klirre replied to Klirre's topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale Modeling
Thanks for all the replies, I think my best bet is to use the small wheel hub 6571. Hopefully you'll see what I'm using it for in another thread :) -

Well that is certainly a keeper then :) Are those system parts using the same ball diameter as technic parts? If so they might solve my problem. -

I've thought of using those, I actually own two from my power puller set :) Just out of curiosity, how expensive are they? -

Sadly way too big and out o scale :( -
Does a part like this exist?
Klirre posted a topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale Modeling
Sorry if there already is a thread for these types of questions, but I can't seem to find what I'm looking for. After Appie posted his awesome tiny bulldozer I started pondering on building a small wheel loader. The trouble is that I can't seem to find a small ball cup part that works with the 6628 ball-pin. Is there any part smaller than the 6055628 4m beam apart from the old flex cable ends? -

Lovely 787b, too bad it doesn't brap brap at idle like the real one ;) My absolute favourite race car of all times! -
[TC10] Volvo Bm LM 620
Klirre replied to TechnicHead41's topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale Modeling
Sweet, can't wait to see the final version :) I really like these old machines, my father has had his 641 since it was new in '76 :) 6k hours later it's still running like clockwork apart from a leaking water pump that needs to be fixed.- 12 replies

[TC10] Volvo Bm LM 620
Klirre replied to TechnicHead41's topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale Modeling
Nice work, would really like to the the finished version. The low and slanting bonnet makes it look more like a 218 than a 620, just saying ;) Have you made the parallell-thingy work? I don't know what it's called in English, but the mechanism that jeeps the bucket level while lofting amd lowering. Mad props if you manage to make room for a pneumatic bucket attacher as well :D- 12 replies

[HELP] Which Technic Set Should I Buy?
Klirre replied to Siegfried's topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale Modeling
I have pretty much decided on the 42043, (I asked just before you) because: A) it seems to contain a little bit of everything, both pf, pneumatics, gearbox, suspension and panels, in a compact model. B) the other sets will be available longer, since they are newer. Of course it's up to you to decide, but I made my decision on those grounds. -
[HELP] Which Technic Set Should I Buy?
Klirre replied to Siegfried's topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale Modeling
So... I've pretty much given up on my TC10 entry, finding that my lack of parts is holding me back from building what I want. I know that bricklink can solve this problem, but I don't feel like spending hundreds of euros on loose parts when I can buy a set and just build it. I'm having trouble choosing though, and I would like some advice on which set to buy. First of all I'm a sucker for tractors, loaders, excavators and the like. I also have a soft spot for pneumatics, so I've considered the 42053 volvo ew160. I'm just wondering if it's better to buy the 42043 mb arocs, since I practically have nothing else to build with, and it gets me almost 3 times the parts for less than double the price of the 42053 + 8293 to motorize it. I've looked at the 42054 Claas too, which seems to be an interesting build even though there's no pneumatics. So which of the 3 sets would you buy? In Sweden they cost around: 42053 + 8293: €100+€35 42054: €150 42043: €190 Respectively. I dont mind getting other recommended sets, just keep in mind that I'm not interested in building car replicas or the like. I want a model with functions and interesting technical solutions, preferably jammed in a compact model. :) -
[TC10] Pneumatic Press
Klirre replied to roppie11's topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale Modeling
Nice build, I was thinking along the same lines after abandoning my trailer project. I suppose there's nothing stopping me from doing my version, it is actually quite different from yours. Have you tried dealing with something dangerous that may attack at any time yet? Would love to see it in action crushing a peanut or something. Model clay might be hard to clean off the press...- 21 replies

[TC10] Technic Pneumatic Contest - Information Topic
Klirre replied to Jim's topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale Modeling
Sorry to interrupt your question, but is that even possible? In theory you would push the same air to and from the cylinder with every revolution of the engine. The pressure would oscillate between negative and positive pressure, relative to atmospheric pressure, but the net sum of pressure would be close to zero. Even if it is or isn't allowed in the competition I would like to see if you can manage to create vacuum with a properly working pneumatic cylinder. -

The rules state: Only one entry per member. Does that mean you're stuck with your project once you've created the discussion topic or when you've actually made the entry-post? I'm wondering since my project got way too expensive and I've got a smaller and hopefully better one in mind. -

Those look good, but you can fit at least four hoses in the same space using string or cable ties. Just sayin...
