lockdownTF Posted August 26, 2011 Posted August 26, 2011 I'm trying to find a specific part to make building steering rigs easier but I don't know its name or what sets its in. its an orange retangle(I've seen at least one grey) with an axle hole that uses a spring to reset it it to neutral and I think a peg hole on either side of it. I was wondering if someone knows the parts name or what sets its in. Quote
tmumme Posted August 26, 2011 Posted August 26, 2011 Guess your looking for Technic, Axle Connector Rectangular Triple Spring-Loaded. Torsten Quote
Crtlego Posted August 26, 2011 Posted August 26, 2011 I believe you are talking about this part. Technic, Axle Connector Rectangular Triple Spring-Loaded Guess your looking for Technic, Axle Connector Rectangular Triple Spring-Loaded. Torsten I was a minute too late.. Quote
davidmull Posted August 26, 2011 Posted August 26, 2011 I believe you are talking about this part. Technic, Axle Connector Rectangular Triple Spring-Loaded I was a minute too late.. Could this be used to centre steering in 8110 with a motor? Quote
Crtlego Posted August 26, 2011 Posted August 26, 2011 Maybe.. I myself don't have the 8110 just yet (hopefully I will find the money to buy one) but from what I have read on the main 8110 thread the steering is quite stiff so maybe if two or three of these were used in parallel they would provide enough force to return it to center.

allanp Posted August 27, 2011 Posted August 27, 2011 (edited) I doubt it, even with a 100% efficient mechanicle system the unimog is too big (NOT a bad thing!). Another reason why TLG need to release a powerful PF servo motor! Edited August 27, 2011 by allanp Quote
lockdownTF Posted August 27, 2011 Author Posted August 27, 2011 I'll find out in a few days if the part does the job or or not I've found the set its in and ordered one off of amazon I've already seen building instructions that suggest use the axle resetter in steering rigs and since its less complicated and more compact than using elastic bands I wanna try it out even if it doesn't work out I've got a coupkle of other ideas in mind for it anyway. in the mean time why not comment comment critique my zamor turret creation (hope this isn't spam). it still needs work and I'd love some pointers. http://www.eurobricks.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=59289 Quote

Another reason why TLG need to release a powerful PF servo motor! I find it odd that they have a servo motor for NXT, but have not bothered to release this for PF. A shame. Quote
