DLuders Posted January 15, 2011 Posted January 15, 2011 (edited) Can anybody think of uses for these unusual Lego "Liftarms" below, in a TECHNIC MOC? Please add some suggestions. 50904 "Bionicle Visorak Torso, Liftarm 8 x 3 x 2" -- I always thought that this could be used in some sort of Forklift, or for a Trial Truck's portal axle setup (to get greater ground clearance). Any ideas? 32079 "Technic, Liftarm 1 x 9 Offset Crossover" -- could the permanently-fixed pivot on the end may be useful in some steering element? The part was used in two Lego Technic motorcycle sets (8417 and 8430) and in the back of the 8462 Tow Truck (pictured below). Your suggestions? 32308 "Technic, Liftarm 3 x 7 x 2 Fork 3 Fingers" -- I think that TECHNIC AFOLs have a few of these, but don't use them much. They appeared in mostly Roboriders sets. The liftarm configuration would make a good "flipper" or something that requires lots of leverage -- any ideas? 45803 "Technic, Liftarm 3 x 7 L-Shape Double" -- Again, it could be useful in a Forklift, but its structure could be used for something else. It appeared in 8 Lego RC sets; it appears to be made out of rubber.... 45568 "Technic, Liftarm 3 x 11 Flexible Double", 45571 "Technic, Liftarm 3 x 11 x 3 Gooseneck Flexible Double", bb87 "Technic, Liftarm 3 x 15 x 3 Gooseneck Flexible Double", and bb91 "Technic, Liftarm 3 x 23 Flexible Double" (pictured in order below) -- These all were used in Lego RC sets (for their impact resistance), but could their rubber composition be useful in Trial Trucks?

andythenorth Posted January 15, 2011 Posted January 15, 2011 Stupid monster differential, strong, but pointlessly large (uses some of these liftarms) http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?f=307645 The rubber parts are really useful for suspension, this connector part is useful: http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?i=3053955 http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?f=307640 Quote
