aminnich Posted December 22, 2017 Posted December 22, 2017 Alright, I have my idea, it took all day, but I got one. Time to build boys and girls Quote

I noticed that: you wind it up and it releases insanely fast. I need to figure out to regulate it a bit... Quote

Seasider Posted December 24, 2017 Posted December 24, 2017 I also found that you can’t use one to wind another up. I wound one, then linked it in opposition to an unwound one and it released a tiny amount and then stopped. id also be interested to know if there was some way of doing a slower release of energy Quote

Aaaanyway I'm sitting this one out, I don't own any pullback motors and I'm still not finished with my technic figure scale rollercoaster (having a bit of a dark age). Good luck to everyone! Quote

I hope you dont end your lego building, you have a lot of talent. If you ever decide there is no way you will do it again, just wait, you will want some back. Quote
letsbuild Posted December 24, 2017 Posted December 24, 2017 Darn, I had a model started about month ago, was a monster. Two pull-back motors to the rear wheels, light bodywork with Toyota AE86 as inspiration. It did burnouts! Quote
TheQuoteMan Posted December 28, 2017 Posted December 28, 2017 It just so happens that I have a model in development with pullback. Just waiting for the parts for details of the body, as all the mechanics are done . It does mean wheelies and burnouts, just need to figure out how to make a decent video of it. Are there any rules/suggestions as to what the video should cover? Quote

A standard video would have a demonstration of features, a few different looks at the design, and a few other bits in between. The best way would be to look at other people's videos (mine are fairy simple), and make something similar. Quote
Jim Posted December 28, 2017 Author Posted December 28, 2017 Agreed with @mocbuild101. Make it short and meaningful. People will be watching a lot of videos, so focus on demonstrating the functions. (that always has been the main purpose of the video, to show if, and how, the functions work) Quote
msk6003 Posted January 2, 2018 Posted January 2, 2018 I get first vacation in army but eurobrick has allready start pullback contest... noooo....... I can't enter.... Quote

Well, maybe you can. We have decided to extend the contest with two additional weeks. Sorry for the ones who have been rushing their entry, but we do feel that some extra time might result in more entries. TL;DR TWO MORE WEEKS! DEADLINE WILL BE 29TH OF JANUARY Quote

(I find even with large and complex MOCs, 2-3mins is usually plenty, and much better to watch than a drawn-out 6-8min epic!) Quote
Seasider Posted January 2, 2018 Posted January 2, 2018 Thanks Jim, I’d only just had a sleepless night where I’d wondered about completely ripping my model to pieces and trying a couple of different options to solve the problems I’m having Quote

You can't use Pneumatics, PF or other electronics, just the pullback motors. It doesn't matter if it's a new or old pullback motor, right? How about other motors than PF or pullback? Quote

super-jaschka Posted January 14, 2018 Posted January 14, 2018 it is terrible! has to wait another two weeks ... Quote
Aventador2004 Posted January 14, 2018 Posted January 14, 2018 Finally a good idea, I hope we get more entries. 15 entries so far... Quote
