GazK Posted June 9, 2012 Posted June 9, 2012 Could anyone please help me with the name and/or lego ID of this piece? I got an extreme lego book for my birthday and I need to order a couple. None of the obvious search terms or google images have helped. Quote
GazK Posted June 9, 2012 Author Posted June 9, 2012 It's the Technic, Gearbox Half aaah, lovely, thanks. I was searching on "gear" and "liftarm" - no wonder I couldn't find it. Quote
Phoxtane Posted June 9, 2012 Posted June 9, 2012 That's an exotic piece. What are you planning to use it for? Quote
legolijntje Posted June 9, 2012 Posted June 9, 2012 That's an exotic piece. What are you planning to use it for? Well, he says he got a book for it's birthday. I recognized the brackground; it's from the book "Forbidden Lego". I looked it up and the photo is from the "Candy Coated Catapult". It can also be the "Ping-Pong Cannon" (same piece is also there), but according to the picture it is the catapult Quote
DLuders Posted June 9, 2012 Posted June 9, 2012 (edited) @ GazK: Here are YouTube videos of the "Forbidden Lego" book's Candy-Coated Catapult and Ping-Pong Cannon (by windlepoons101). The part you asked about is colored green in the first video and white in the second: Edited June 9, 2012 by DLuders Quote
GazK Posted June 9, 2012 Author Posted June 9, 2012 Quite right, its the forbidden lego book wot I got... the videos are great, its hard to visualise how the mechanisms work from still images. Quote
Saberwing40k Posted June 9, 2012 Posted June 9, 2012 By sheer coincidence, i got this book as well. it's a bit out of date, but good for inspiration. Case in point, the off roader in the book is laughably primitive compared to what some of us trial truckers have done. Quote

Case in point, the off roader in the book is laughably primitive compared to what some of us trial truckers have done. I know what you mean - the vehicle is the one item in the book I have no intention of building - not after I motorised my off-roader! While we're at it could anyone tell me what the long thin rods in this photo are called? I need to order those as well: Quote
keroro Posted June 10, 2012 Posted June 10, 2012 It look like similar a piece in a white bionicle... Quote
laix Posted June 10, 2012 Posted June 10, 2012 (edited) They seem to be Hose, Rigid 3mm e.g. 75c22. But every axle with axle joiners should do the same job Probably the easiest way to search for specific parts is to use Bricklink's search for "Catalog Items" and showing the results in "Thumbnail Gallery". You will get a quick overview and find your parts really fast. Edited June 10, 2012 by laix Quote
keroro Posted June 10, 2012 Posted June 10, 2012 Here you can see the piece: http://www.bricklink.com/search.asp?q=gearbox+half Quote
Blakbird Posted June 11, 2012 Posted June 11, 2012 (edited) I only recall this part being used in a single Technic set and that's the 8446 Crane Truck. It was also in a bunch of Slizer/Throwbot sets. Edited June 11, 2012 by Blakbird Quote
