Technic Parts We Would Find Useful

[ord]

A pneumatic elbow fitting, something like this:

In fact even better than the 7x7 frame I showed earlier would be to just have a 0.5L drive ring extension. Then the diff+driveshaft can be centered but you can still lock the diff. We would need to have a new shifter fork that fits over this drive ring extension because any existing Lego shifter piece is male and too wide. This is female. A comma panel would be perfect but its not double sided, which is necessary to slide the drive ring extension left and right.

The axlehole would be the same place as on a comma panel because that's perfect.

Maybe someone can make a sketch?

A shorter, full width linear actuator. Not like the mini ones that are 1L diameter and weak, 2L full power but shorter - 2 or 3L's less. 

I want LA powered steering on bigger mocs to replicate the position and use of hydraulics in real life. I'm sure they'd be useful in many situations...

A 3x7 frame instead of 2 3x5 perpendicular liftarms would be nice.

 

Actually, given the 3x13 and 3x19 frames, a 3x7 with the same layout would make a lot of sense.

Exactly what I was thinking and shorter parts can actually fit into more places, so would probably find many uses.

I would like the yellow part (except with a pin hole not a axle hole at the bottom middle), and possibly the green.  Apologies if this has been suggested already.

Yes, there's a proposed variant of that piece in the first post, but true that it could also be a different variant.

Personally, I don't believe that we will see the green part, as it's orange predecessor was basically introduced together with the old red (grey) 2 L driving rings in order to make a perpendicular half-stud offset possible (for the changeover catch) and is (in official sets) rarely (never???) used for other purposes.

(I'm pretty sure, we won't have to wait long until someone will correct me...  ;-)  )
