tomek9210 Posted January 26 Posted January 26 Hi, I couldn't find the info so maybe someone here will help me. What are the dimensions of the car in studs? The length, the width and the wheelbase. Quote

AVCampos Posted January 26 Posted January 26 Actually, a stud is 5 mm in diameter. A brick, or module if talking about studless, is what's 8 mm in width. But yes, I know that, when people refer to studs as a unit of measure, they mean bricks/modules, so your answer isn't wrong. Quote

But yes, they are spaced 8 mm apart which is the LEGO's basic's grid. Quote

I am confused. If you want to know the dimensions of a LEGO thing in studs - isn't the diameter of a "stud" more or less irrelevant, but the center distance of two such studs (or the stud pitch) is? I thought this is the LEGO universe universal constant: 8 mm ideal stud center distance. Which of course implies that the diameter of such a stud needs to be less than that. The brick, precisely the 1xX bricks, are (ideally) 8 mm wide (which they really aren't, as reality needs tiny space to separate them again). And a stud is a stud, isn't it? In studless world, there are no studs, otherwise it would be studful. In studful world, we pop the holes - some call anti studs ^^ onto these (ideally) 5 mm (but in reality about 4.8 mm) diameter studs, don't we? The only real constant here seems to be the studful LEGO stud pitch - which should be more or less exactly 8 mm. So is the studless Technic hole pitch. Best Thorsten Quote
