    It is to there to make the chassis stiffer. The axle connector hadn't been introduced yet, so universal connector is what they used.

    Me too, keep us posted!

    Cool

    I'm still here:)

    Well done! Congrats. As long as it's low-count production, you won't have a problem with TLG i presume.

    Photography, guitar, singing in a choir, downhill skiing, stand-up-paddling, sailing, reading a lot of books when I'm away somewhere, playing video games. That's probably it. During the uptake on guitar, my time devoted to lego building has faded away to almost nothing. I still have quite a collection, but mostly just gathering dust. Maybe my nephew will find some joy in it later on.

    Very nice looking truck. It works really well for the scale. For an idea of how to make the steering work, check out http://lego.brickinstructions.com/lego_instructions/set/9390/Mini_Tow_Truck on page 14. At least, that's almost the smallest steering setup I've seen.

    Can't we just stop bashing, stick to the topic, and see just how far someone can push the current parts? It's like MythBusters, only with Lego instead of welding and stuff. Keep the pics and videos coming!

    Good job, Jerry. Too bad about the RC motor. But still, it can't contain the power source, so no real lego flight yet...
  10. Lost_In_Noise
    Cool
  11. Lost_In_Noise
    Very nice work. I was surprised to see you've also included suspension:)
  12. Lost_In_Noise
    Very nicely done, and with such few parts. The only improvement I can think of would be to use a pullback motor for that all-technical feel.
  13. Lost_In_Noise
    Yeah, 8455 is the best overall set imo, but it's not very technical with is simple steering setup, no 4wd and no suspension. I understand they made these choices to keep parts count down, or to make it easier to build. The playability is 100%, so that's a huge plus.

    Tommy: They showed an RC lego zeppeliner at the last Brickfair i think. But the point here is to make something that generates its own uplift, without being held up by an external force (hot air stream, hot air, or a lighter-than-air gas of some kind.

    The power has to be sustained, and the movement controllable for me to accept it as flying lego: A purpose-built flying machine. I don't see that day coming anytime soon. The weight is too great, the power too little, and the controls to flimsy. An airplane of some sort wold never work, because it would have to go so fast to maintain altitude that the plastic flaps would bend under the air pressure. A helicopter would require an engine which consumes so much power that it burns through the battery in no time at all. With todays battery solutions provided by the Lego Group, this will, sadly, never happen...

    http://www.eurobricks.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=73936&hl=antonov&st=100 Check this out! Amazing work and dedication. Also, if you find the time, notice the improvement in language from the first page to the last.

    But the springs on the 8466 sags so much it isn't even fun... Unless replaced of course. Otherwise it's the same as the Super Street Sensation, which doesn't feel as... technical as the 8880.
  18. Lost_In_Noise
    8880 is the ultimate in Technicality. No car has the same level of complexity, although some machines come close, like the last excavator, the Air Tech Claw Rig, the Unimog and the Space Shuttle. On a side note, all of the above are MUCH more sturdier than the Super car, and withstood the kindergarden test with relative ease. The supercar lost its rear wing in a matter of minutes, but not much else. So far, the best child-friendly toys have been the Backhoe 8455, the 8043 Excavator and the 42009 Mobile Crane. Really well done and sturdy designs. /offtopic

    8265 has Linear actuators which are operated by hand... That's enough for me to not want it. I'm looking forward to this set, although I'll have to wait until the vacation to get it:)

    If you're looking to buy many sets, you can upload a wishlist to bricklink, and then place several orders in multiple stores, and then tick off the sets you've bought. At least that's what I did when I started collecting a few years ago. I recommend placing big orders( as long as you've got the money to pay), cause it will lower total shipping costs. And make sure the sender marks the goods as a gift or commercial sample to avoid stupid tax laws. Please add photos. It's nice to see a collection taking shape:)
  21. Lost_In_Noise
    Pics? Please use Bricklink for selling parts, I don't think they like advertising much here. Good luck on that 858 though, you can read my review if you like. There's an overview of the cost vs part-out there.
  22. Lost_In_Noise
    Ehm David, why does it say you're banned? That would be a shame! Thanks for sharing, it looks great!
  23. Lost_In_Noise
    Very nice, consider adding a polarity switch for faster switching of functions. I know. I say this to everything:)
  24. Lost_In_Noise
    Nice lift!
  25. Lost_In_Noise
    Weed control unit= police Sorry, had to... Nice work, do you have a photo of the real thing? I searched, but found nothing....
