Kwon Posted June 24, 2013 Posted June 24, 2013 I found Something Interesting Amphibious vehicle by Sunnykoomos (A.K.A Sunny Koo) I wondering does the Middle (M) motor waterprove.... Quote
tbird8057 Posted June 24, 2013 Posted June 24, 2013 Wow, this is crazy. I can believe he was able to climb that rock straight out of the water. Did it look like he was pulling the cord to help it out? Quote
lukeandahalf Posted June 24, 2013 Posted June 24, 2013 Yes he was pulling the cord at that angle. Fun to see Lego repeatedly thrown in the water though My question is: The PF elements must have been waterproofed, how? Quote
Doc_Brown Posted June 24, 2013 Posted June 24, 2013 Now I have seen everything! that's kinda bad for motors surely??? But you know what, I kinda want to try it! haha Thanks for sharing. Quote

timslegos Posted June 24, 2013 Posted June 24, 2013 I remember reading in the past of someone building a submarine and they used an untreated M motor. As long as the motor stayed submerged, little damage was done. As soon as the motor was removed however, rust basically destroyed the internals. tim Quote
pluto7443 Posted June 24, 2013 Posted June 24, 2013 Yes, just like salvaging ships. If something metal stays underwater long enough, it will be better underwater than in the air, because rust will destroy it. Quote
Someonenamedjon Posted June 24, 2013 Posted June 24, 2013 If you read the begging, it said that it is good for a few hours of play, so I'm guessing that is when the motor breaks down. Quote
Boxerlego Posted June 25, 2013 Posted June 25, 2013 (edited) Awesome video! I give it a 10. Waterproofing the motor sound awesome. To a degree the M-motor is already waterproof but it is not 100% water tight. The friction pin holes are a direct path inside the motor casing so I imaging that some waterproofing must have been done there to prevent leaks inside the motor case.

sunnykoomos Posted June 25, 2013 Posted June 25, 2013 (edited) Sorry for all late reply due to I just make the account 10 mins before. I can believe he was able to climb that rock straight out of the water. Did it look like he was pulling the cord to help it out? That is my friend and he did pulling the wire to help.I am the cameraman at the time. Fun to see Lego repeatedly thrown in the water though My question is: The PF elements must have been waterproofed, how? I do nothing with the motor because brush motor are waterproof... P.S.: The M motor which go diving last year is still working ...just make sure to make it dry after use I remember reading in the past of someone building a submarine and they used an untreated M motor. As long as the motor stayed submerged, little damage was done. As soon as the motor was removed however, rust basically destroyed the internals. Mine didn't do any waterproofing but still working.....just a little bit noisy than before I guess his motor rust because he didn't make them dry after use. Edited June 25, 2013 by sunnykoomos Quote
