Technic General Discussion

[Alasdair Ryan]

Found this rather interesting machine on a trip to the city, thought i'd share it for inspiration as i lack the skills/powerfunctions to build such a coplex machine

That is a good model for D3K to make,it will fit in well with his swing loaders.

That does indeed look pretty cool! Ugly as hell, but cool nonetheless!

Lol, maybe something for the future.. Damnit Alasdair, it seems everytime you suggest something to me, I can't shake it, and end up building it!

However, I have lots of other things on my agenda as well these days, which bring me to my following question:

Will this be an OK way to use a diff?

I'm planning to build an RC mod of the 8x4 chassis I made last year, and was wondering if this will work OK, or if it will immediately destroy the bevel gears inside the diff? Anyone tried this? How about if I use two XL motors?

Also, is it better to use a V1 or V2 receiver to power two XL's on the same channel?

EDIT: In case it was unclear; the two red axles are the ouput, supposed to go to two rear axles

this configuration makes one of the two output dead.

However, you should be breaking the bevel gears.

Is SEMOC a generally accepted term for Someone Else's MOC?

[jantjeuh]

NMOC

[D3K]

SEMOC = Somebody Elses My Own Creation - doesn't make a lot of sense

NMOC = Not My Own Creation - Sounds a little bit better

SEC = Somebody Elses' Creation - ?

I do understand that MOC, although an abbreviation, has more or less become a word, with a clear and generally understood meaning. Maybe SEMOC will too?

[JGW3000]

How about:WIWMOC (Wish it was my own creation)

[legomuppet9]

How about:WIWMOC (Wish it was my own creation)

Not exactly easy to say or type quickly

SHTTABAMWIWM

(Someone had time to actually build a moc, wish it was mine)

Hope someday I get the parts to build that beauty, but those red flex axles are expensive.

Maybe someone should jump in and nudge others to try to raise the level of the discussion ;)

I like that one

Not Exactly My Own Creation ?

[anton1678]

NMOC is probably the best one for actually using in posts, but we'd understand if SHITTABAMWIWM or something like that was found embedded in a serious paragraph

[Phoxtane]

How about ASDFPO5361240.WQyutVOIKPJASD, or "I slipped and hit my face on the keyboard in shock over how [adjective] this creation is".

Hello

Finally my "Brick" is done :D

It sits there, waiting for its MOC... but I don't want to disassemble my standard sets...

But i'm satisfied that it works

It could handle 16 loaded XL's and 2 ev3/nxt

As a long-time lurker here on the forums, you guys build amazing stuff

Nice hack, what power supply are you using?

Nice hack, what power supply are you using?

3 A123 LiFePO4 in series (1100mAh). They are between the stacked boards.

Edit: Empty: 7.5 V, Full: 10.6V. I think those 1.6V more are okay.

Has somebody made a Deltawing, Zeod RC or something like that?

I started tinkering with a Deltawing MOC, but soon left it for something else. A good MOC of one is something I really would like to see though! Fascinating piece of engineering!

[PROlego]

I'm having problem because I'm trying to make it quite short (more or less 40 studs) and I can't put suspension and steering in the front

Have you got any photo/ lxf file of your steering?

Hi I'm just wondering if there are any good uses for this piece http://www.bricklink.com/catalogItem.asp?P=64451

i got it in the 8071 and it doesn't seem to be used in any MOCs

When I pulled down 8071 I did end up finding a use for that part in one of my mocs to hold some beams in place so it is useful.

Do you have any pics of your solution?
