Hello!

I decided to share my mocs here with this professional team. I build technic vehicles, LPEs, etc. since long ago. I'm member of Malug(hungarian Lego users group), Hunlttc(non official hungarian Lego truck trial team). I build mostly trial trucks(lot of them waiting for upload), contsruction vehicles, models.

A few older moc:

http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?f=459855

http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?f=485582

Nowadays I realize some of my ideas:

1. Flying machine:

http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?f=500935

A simple flying object which isn't a single propeller, so can be a machine. Max. height is about 0,4-0,5 m, but it rises from it's own power(pullback motors). :wink:

2. Radio controlled gearbox with RC unit:

http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?f=502229

Uses simply the servo output of the RC unit, so you don't need another motor for shifting and both 9V output is free.

Recommended for bigger and heavier vehicles because it needs some space. Ideal for vehicles with RC system. The truck is a study of suspension, the rear one is my own development for heavy trucks:

010.jpg

The axle is suspended in four point, strong rubber bands are the "springs". With rollers in the wheels they can carrie much load.

In the front axle only the gray 10x1 technik plates(instead of 9L links) are new: http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?i=5465283

The axle contains the old differential with lock too.

3. Another gearbox, but for small vehicles and relatively low torque:

http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?f=504221

In this case:

http://www.brickshelf.com/gallery/mbmc137/Ideas-Technologies/4speedRCgearbox/004.jpg

- it would be a simple(but not usable) motorized gearbox.

With 3 more pieces it doesn't allow to be two speed engaged at the same time:

http://www.brickshelf.com/gallery/mbmc137/Ideas-Technologies/4speedRCgearbox/005.jpg

:classic:

The motors help each other. In the sifting from 1. to 2. speed wit the (1.) motor, the another motor(2.) is in central position, nothing extraordinary happenes. But in the shifting from 2. to 3. speed, the steering piece pulls off the driving ring from second speed and the (2.) motor engages the 3. gear. The gearbox needs friction in the axle of the red shifting piece to prevent the "re-central positioning" of the motor, which turns only a 1/4: http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?i=5480676

Shifting from 1. to 3. and 2. to 4. speed don't work, but you can shift from 1 to 4 or backwards.

The most important: in this gearbox each position of the contollers levers corresponds to one gear:

Right lever down: 1.

Right lever up: 2.

Left lever down: 3.

Left lever up: 4.

Regards,

Tamas

I bid you welcome. If you would, please deeplink images in the future. If you don't know how to do this, there is a tutorial somewhere on the site. just follow This link , and read up. there are also tutorials for resizing big images, which you might want to read.

Oh, and with your permission, can i help you post about some of your old creations? Pretty please?

Thanks for welcome!

The excavator was built 2 years ago, model of a CAT 385 CL, fully remote. The 3 ideas are my latest creations. (and a lot of relatively new mocs are waiting for upload, in the gallery are mostly older ones, but I don't have much time recently)

I know deeplinks(in the Malug forum we post mostly with normal links), but thanks for the information, I will post in the future with deeplinks.

Thanks. If I know well, after 10 posts I can write to members in private. I think my TT-s and miniTTs should have an another topic, if you can it would be great a post about them. First about the Zil-136.

Okay, thanks. Zil-136 it is. funny commentary included.

Welcome to the forum Mbmc, please resize your images when.you get a chance. The site maximum is 800x600.

Thanks, sweet MOC by the way.

Thanks. Resize: if 800x600 is the maximum, then some details will be hard to see in my mocs. For example: http://www.brickshelf.com/gallery/mbmc137/Caterpillar-385-CL/Building/img_212_1024x768.jpg

Is there auto resize, which resizes the picture like above, but to 800x600? I can't upload them in 800x600, that's too small.

Thanks all!

Sorry for the big pics, now I have smalls for my latest idea, so I can write a better interpretation of this 4 speed PF remote controlled gearbox:

Folder: http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?f=504221

I built it for small vehicles and relatively low torque, I think this is the samllest remote 4 speed gearbox.

The main aim was to be compact/small, simple, and easy to control. You don't need special parts or the big NXT unit to switch between gears.

The motors help each other. In the sifting from 1. to 2. speed wit the (1.) motor, the another motor(2.) is in central position, nothing extraordinary happenes. But in the shifting from 2. to 3. speed, the steering piece pulls off the driving ring from second speed and the (2.) motor engages the 3. gear. The gearbox needs friction in the axle of the red shifting piece to prevent the "re-central positioning" of the motor, which turns only a 1/4. The motors are stalled for a half second, but it's minimal.

In this case:

- it would be a simple(but not usable) motorized gearbox.

With 3 more pieces it doesn't allow to be two speed engaged at the same time:

024.jpg

:classic:

Shifting from 1. to 3. and 2. to 4. speed don't work, but you can shift from 1 to 4 or backwards.

The most important: in this gearbox each position of the contollers levers corresponds to one gear:

Right lever down: 1.

Right lever up: 2.

Left lever down: 3.

Left lever up: 4.

Can be seen working in this video:

What dou you think?

Thank you. :classic: I know the BI isn't public yet, but soon it will be. I think it's easy to build even from these pictures.

Are you going to place that Lego Power Functions Remote-Controlled Gearbox in a large MOC?

- Yes, it's already placed in my new project(4x4 off-roader model). But that's not so large, has 81,6 mm wheels. Edited by Mbmc

Nowadays I found some yet haven't used(or I haven't seen) pieces and combinations.

1.: Combination between turntables, so you can easily connect studless and studfull techniques:

072.jpg

073.jpg

2.: A reinvented piece from the RC system's steering unit:

068.jpg

070.jpg

071.jpg

I took out this piece from the "Black Electric RC Race Buggy Steering Unit" - BL number 6282. This can be used as a 4x3 T liftarm. You can take this out without damage, only screws are there:

3.: A spline shaft from the pull-back motor "motor0" :

s001.jpg

s002.jpg

s003.jpg

s006.jpg

s008.jpg

s009.jpg

This needs maximum 1 stud place: http://www.brickshelf.com/gallery/mbmc137/Ideas-Technologies/Spline-Shaft/012.jpg

So there isn't friction there when you place it in a small moc, 1 stud width is enough for it. :classic:

The maximum extension with reliable working is 1 stud as can be seen from the pictures. I think it's enough in the most cases.

What do you think?

Outstanding!!! I love it! Love the idea with the universal joints.

This will come useful when you want to transfer power to attachment on a tractor, which has three point attach system.

Posted

Thank you all.

The spline joint idea is awesome! Would it count as being a pure Lego solution?

I think it's a pure solution' date=' because if you are enough skilled, you can take the white piece out from the motor without damage. :classic:

it uses only non modified parts, which should make the purists happy. And really, what else would you use a pullback motor for?

I found one more way to use them: for accelerate a flying machine's propellers:

http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?i=5432841

So this pull-back motors are surprisingly useful.

Hi again!

Nowadays I wanted to build something extraordinary Lego gun. Generally I have developed further TheTechnicKiwi's firing mechanism:

http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?f=487705 - I thought it would be good with possibility of moving and a larger clip.

So I made this:

http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?f=507850

001.jpg

Two RC buggy motors are responsible for shooting, they allows max. 660 shot/minute, if the battery is full. This is a bit faster than the Thompson submachine gun. :classic:

This turret has an undercarriage for moving in all direction, and for moving the upper structure with the gun.

min - max tilt: http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?i=5536550 http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?i=5536552

Only the gravity is responsible for reloading, the ammo simply falls down.

The ammo clip can store max. 60 3LstopAxle, the gun can shoot them all in 5,6 - 6 second. Maximum range is about 2m.

The undercarriage is as simple as it can be, it's only for moving with it's 3 wheels and two XL motors on each side:

http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?i=5536569

The video shows it in action:

- sorry in advance if you are a castle minifig fan :classic:

(I didn't placed all the pictures directly here, in the BS folder everybody can see them)

I like the 5th wheel parking mechanism for getting into tight spaces! Features: "driving, steering, working steering wheel, parking, independent front suspension, differential lock, 4 speed gearbox."
