andythenorth Posted January 16, 2015 Posted January 16, 2015 So eh, I have an RC buggy motor from the 8421 crane. This creates a dumb dilemma. The buggy motor is so expensive on Bricklink that I can't convince myself to use it in a moc, even where the form factor would be useful. Also it's (assuming I read Philo's site correctly) outlandishly powerful, which is never a requirement in the places I could use it. So keep it? Sell it? Give it away? Or get over myself, and stop finding first world problems? I think we know the answer here... Quote
rm8 Posted January 16, 2015 Posted January 16, 2015 Of course keep it Money will not make you happy. But this motor will do Quote
TheItalianBrick Posted January 16, 2015 Posted January 16, 2015 I'm sure you will find a way to use it! keep it! Quote
aol000xw Posted January 16, 2015 Posted January 16, 2015 Liars! All of them! Give it to me, I will gladly solve your problem keeping it for myself. Quote
andythenorth Posted January 16, 2015 Author Posted January 16, 2015 (edited) I think I'm just going to leave it in a box until my kids find it. They won't know it's considered to be super-rare, super-valuable and super-desirable by AFOLs. They'll just plug in a battery box, and make it into a drill (put in a 5.5 axle with stop) or a shaver (two 20t gears). That will make them happy, the money won't. When they do I shall post pictures for truck trialists and other AFOLs to see. Hmm I also have 16 unused Power Puller tyres, bought when they were about £7 each and not £21.91 each. But that's another story. Edited January 16, 2015 by andythenorth Quote

Bricktrain Posted January 16, 2015 Posted January 16, 2015 My dilema is the pneumatic cyinder brackets. I dismantled part of a model last week with 32 cylinders and cylinder brackets, I struggled to fit them in the container I keep my pneumatic parts in, I mean how often do I have use for all of my 80 brackets? I guess I could sell a few and then buy a few more power puller wheels and tyres, 24 of them isnt going to be enough is it? Quote
Jim Posted January 16, 2015 Posted January 16, 2015 If I sold everything I didn't use, I would have very little LEGO left. Keep it. Quote
Epic Technic Posted January 16, 2015 Posted January 16, 2015 If I sold everything I didn't use, I would have very little LEGO left. Keep it. Yup, each piece is useful just not all at the same time. Unless you want to give the buggy motor to me for free! :classic: Quote

I think that particular dilemma is considered solved when we all have desktop ABS printers...print our own ABS parts. Hmm, maybe we also get desktop ABS shredders?

nerdsforprez Posted January 16, 2015 Posted January 16, 2015 I am the most altruistic out of the lot. I will kindly take the burden off your hands. My address is....... Quote
andythenorth Posted January 16, 2015 Author Posted January 16, 2015 they make great compressors Nice tip, thanks. Quote
zux Posted January 16, 2015 Posted January 16, 2015 Too much of RC motors, Unimog tyres, PP wheels, brackets.... I wish I had your problems, guys Quote
Kelkschiz Posted January 16, 2015 Posted January 16, 2015 (edited) Keep it, with a little bit of luck TLG will notice the price of these things on BL and decide they might want to make some more, so we can all profit. Edited January 16, 2015 by Kelkschiz Quote
nxtstep101 Posted January 16, 2015 Posted January 16, 2015 I would keep it, even if you don't see a present need for it. Once you sell/get rid of it it will be quite expensive to replace. Quote
Saberwing40k Posted January 16, 2015 Posted January 16, 2015 (edited) If any of you have any surplus parts, like Power Puller wheels, pneumatic cylinder brackets, RC buggy motors, or parts in dark pearl gray, I'll gladly take them..... Edited January 16, 2015 by Saberwing40k Quote

You could probably find something more usefull like traintracks Quote

I'll use them one day, until then I'll just keep building & learning, building & learning until I've the skills to do them justice. Edit. I've just bought an 8366 so make that 7.

Zimix Posted January 16, 2015 Posted January 16, 2015 If I would have only one of these RC motors, I would really consider to get a second one. And then build the nice moc's available here in the forum. It's so fun to drive, that you have to use them. Quote

SheepEater Posted January 17, 2015 Posted January 17, 2015 I stocked up on a few of them between 2002-2006 when they were still cheap. Never understood why Lego discontinued them. They are very powerful. Quote
Omikron Posted January 17, 2015 Posted January 17, 2015 Keep it. Because someday you will be building an YOC and regret that you don't have the perfect motor for this creation. Quote
