TechnicRCRacer Posted June 23 Posted June 23 Unusual recolors in the Nike set — 92909 in orange and 11950 in white (New Elementary) Quote
Jockos Posted June 23 Posted June 23 Well... yeah. We don't need neutral coloured 3L pin/axle with pin, but orange-white hub parts. :D Just a "What If...?" moment. What if they made the pins for the same colour as the outside of the model? So a yellow here, a green there, etc. Quote

Ngoc Nguyen Posted June 30 Posted June 30 Is this gear new? It doesnt look like the regular tan beveled 12z or 20z. Quote
MP LEGO Technic creations Posted July 2 Posted July 2 87408 recoloured for the first time, supposedly in dark tan? Quote
SNIPE Posted July 3 Posted July 3 (edited) I wonder if we use a buwizz buggy motor + the large vinyl pieces from that technic race yaught (42174 ) but as helicopter blades, if it will fly? Edited July 3 by SNIPE Quote

The momentum theory calculations to get initial power estimates vs rotational speed shouldn't be particularly challenging here. Some potential practical challenges: Low aspect ratio of the sail will lead to aerodynamic losses compared to a blade with high aspect ratio, will increase the required flight power. You can somewhat offset this by mounting the blades further out to increase the effective span, as long as you replace the inboard span Flutter at high rotational speeds due to the thinness of the blade may cause resonance issues. You can tune this with tip weights to minimize torsion The rigid leading edge will introduce aerodynamic penalties due to turbulent flow. You can somewhat mitigate this if it's on the underside of the blade (the pressure side) Rotors are inherently unstable so you'll either need a swashplate with active control, or the whole rotor needs to be mounted on a gimbal. Depending on the system loads, this may be infeasible with Lego ball joints (which have a high amount of slack) Edited July 4 by Bartybum Quote

There are nice videos on YouTube of people trying various ways to get lift with Lego. They might give you some inspiration. My favorite: Quote

Probably helps that it uses higher voltage electronics :P Edited July 4 by Bartybum Quote
Jockos Posted July 9 Posted July 9 I was wondering if 42215's shovel is a one-time use, or perhaps a future set (let's say a backhoe loader) will contain it, too . Quote

Auroralampinen Posted July 11 Posted July 11 The soundwave comes with dark blue belt wheel or disk. Idk the offical name:/. Quote
Cardboy Posted July 11 Posted July 11 (edited) Also I think there is one or two red ones behind that which has not been seen since 2000. Also OCD alert they have miss aligned them on the axel Edited July 11 by Cardboy Quote

TechnicRCRacer Posted July 12 Posted July 12 The red wedge belt wheel is a surprise, that part had been very expensive on BrickLink for a long time. Nice spot! Quote
Corydoras Posted July 12 Posted July 12 I need a little help. Is there a way to separate these Technic disk joint pieces without damaging them? https://www.bricklink.com/v2/catalog/catalogitem.page?P=44225#T=C https://www.bricklink.com/v2/catalog/catalogitem.page?P=44224#T=C Quote
NV Lego technic Posted July 12 Posted July 12 Theoretically yeah I've never owned these so I can't know for sure Quote

You just have to pull them apart similarly as (or a little harder than) a Bionicle ball-socket joint (if you encountered one). So they aren't as hard and risky to take apart as a wheel hub. Quote
